did you cry when they killed like a million chickens? do you cry when you eat cows and pigs? do you cry for your salad?

I agree this is absolutely horrible, being a dog owner myself, but PETA is stupid..
The killings prompted calls for a boycott of Chinese products from the activist group People For the Ethical Treatment of Animals. ?We are urging everyone to actively boycott ? not a word we use lightly ? anything from China"

There goes.... virtually everything?

"Dogs being walked were seized from their owners and beaten to death on the spot, the Shanghai Daily newspaper reported. Led by the county police chief, killing teams entered villages at night creating noise to get dogs barking, then beat the animals to death, the reports said.

Owners were offered 63 cents per animal to kill their own dogs before the teams were sent in, they said."

im speechless...

I've eaten dog meat in Korea a couple of times. Freaking expensive, but not bad. And who cares about PETA, they've got too much time on their hands.

Better than dying of rabies I guess. They probably had an overpopulation of freely breeding unowned dogs that would have eventually send the rabies epidemic out of control. :evil:

it smells a little, and has a unique texture, kind of like when you eat goat. but the meat we paid for was premium, so it was great. it was in a spicy stew called boushingtang.

Why did both of the threads about this story immediately change subject to dog eating?

Clubbing to death? As in smash their skulls in? Sheesh, that sounds a little crude. They coulda gassed them or used poisonous darts or something. I guess they had budget-constraints - though you would have to pay me a hell lot of money for me to beat a dog to death. And I would probably pass out.
