Apparently the (assumed poor) Chinese.

Do they do this to all animals they slaughter or is it just dogs?

Apparently, a lot of Asians and Chinese also farm and slaughter human babies and eat them, too. While politically correct rumor debunker websites might disagree, the ongoing news stories are out there. Sometimes you just have to read between the lines a bit and connect the dots to figure out what's really going on behind all those bizarre news stories that keep coming up.

Let's start with this news story, as an example.

http://www.cnn.com/2015/01/14/china/china-child-trafficking-bust/

http://www.washingtonpost.com/news/...king-ring-rescuing-37-from-pregnancy-factory/

On first glance, the uninformed might think they were trying to smuggle out those babies to parts unknown to be adopted. But if that's so, then why do the smugglers select sick babies to smuggle, and not seem very concerned if they die while smuggling them? Also, notice how the CNN post does not mention in the actual article the babies are actually taken to a MORGUE to be ADOPTED (but they do mention it in the video clip). It's also mentioned how boys are worth more than girls. That's because male babies are usually larger by weight than females are.

The smugglers are keeping the babies alive just until they reach the baby butchers at the MORGUE, so they can be processed into food and pills. Because they are worth a lot more by the pound to eat, than in adoptions.

Meanwhile, I'm sure the well heeled Asians who can afford to be cannibals, are paying a premium for FRESH babies to eat, because who wants to eat freezer burned frozen baby burgers, AGAIN?

http://www.cnn.com/2014/02/28/world/asia/china-online-baby-trafficking-crackdown/

And here is another salient point I noticed. In this article, there was an emphasis on how the baby smugglers wanted HEALTHY BABIES to be ADOPTED.

Yet in the more recent story, the baby smugglers couldn't care less if they are healthy or not, or even if they die while waiting to be adopted. So it's pretty obvious what they really wanted those babies for.

Then we have ongoing news stories like these, which pretty much seals the deal that a lot of Asians think it's perfectly OK to consume human flesh just to get an erection.

In this article, it also seems that male babies are required for their Asian pagan black magic rituals.

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/wor...n-foetuses-for-use-in-black-magic-ritual.html

And I saw some pics of these ritualized babies from another website, and they were horrible. What was accidentally seen, cannot be later unseen. THANKS INTERNET!

Meanwhile, back to the whole disgusting dog eating thing. That leather couch you are sitting on which you got cheap because it's made from bonded leather pieces or bicast leather may not be 100% cowhide after all if it came from China or a number of other Asian countries where dogs are a delicacy. But at least the couch was CHEAP, right? And this might also explain why your dogs keep pissing on it or don't want to sit on it.

No different than the endless BBQ cook-offs we have all over the country. It's just a different animal in a different country.

Americans are a bunch of whiny bitches. Mind your own business

i doubt these are stolen pets. More likely pets that their owners abandoned. Lots of stray dogs in China.

edit: reminds me of an old Chinese neighbor. One day I saw him cursing at pigeons that were pooping on his roof. A week later, he asked if I wanted some birds he grilled.

Absolutely disgusting. Good thing dogs aren't considered aphrodisiacs or else they end up like the rhino.

Good job China :(

Do people think that bans actually work? Eating cows, pigs and chickens is legal, and those things are everywhere.

Want to save endangered species? Don't make them illegal to kill. Make them legal to own.

Bleeding hearts are so painfully stupid sometimes...

What makes this so wrong is not only the fact that they are stolen pets but the fact that they make them suffer as much as possible because they think it makes the meat taste better, and even if it did, who cares it's just horrible to do the things they do. Skinning alive, gutting while alive, deep fried while alive etc... basically they want them to go through as much terror and pain as possible.

i dont care that they eat dogs. The torture is the only part i have a problem with

While I've never been to a BBQ cook-off, I don't think they beat and terrify the pigs before they hang them by their feet and slice its throat open while it's own blood pours down it's face as it dies from loss of blood then stick an apple in it's mouth, skewer it up the arse, and slow roast it over an open flame, before chopping it up and serving it to children. No, we're much more civilized.

Yeah, eating them really is no different from eating any other creature. It's the treatment of them that's the issue. If nothing else they at least deserve a quick and not needlessly painful death.

Suggesting it is immoral or somehow backwards to eat a dog smacks of cultural elitism. Obviously stealing peoples pets in order to eat them is wrong, but the only people that have any standing to criticize are Vegan's. I love my dogs, and I also love bacon. It would take quite a bit of cognitive dissonance on my part to condemn those that would eat a dog while I enjoy a perfectly smoked pork sausage, would it not?

Where did you miss the part about how they NEEDLESSLY torture the dogs before death.

I don't get the issue with eating dogs. You morons need to get over the fact that Fido is simply an animal. Dogs, and cats, and other household pets aren't parts of your family. They are animals. Sometimes, people gotta eat. I'm sure a pig would be a great friend if you raised in your home, but that doesn't stop you from eating bacon.

My issue is how they kill the animals. They have a sick pleasure in causing as much pain as possible. My brother in laws wife is from China. She described how her dog as a kid was killed because it barked too much. They(the village) hung it and drowned it. What kind of sick fucks would do that?

Exactly while back PBS had story about cats being food and they had a video of cats being boiled live to make fur removal easier, but half the time the cats were coming out alive. Disgusting

Boiling cats alive is bad, but boiling lobsters alive is just fine!

lobsters dont have the same pain receptors that mammals have.

I'm sure the lobster would agree, and I'll keep that in mind next time I hear him tapping on the lid of the pot.

If your lobsters are tapping on the lid you are cooking them wrong. Crabs are OK to cook slow but lobsters will take on a bad flavor if slow cooked. Boil your water harder and make sure your stove can keep up with the introduction of the lobster to the pot.

Seems pretty non-committal to me.

Prawns, crayfish and lobsters[edit]
In 2005 a review of the literature by the Norwegian Scientific Committee for Food Safety tentatively concluded that "it is unlikely that [lobsters] can feel pain," though they note that "there is apparently a paucity of exact knowledge on sentience in crustaceans, and more research is needed." This conclusion is based on the lobster's simple nervous system. The report assumes that the violent reaction of lobsters to boiling water is a reflex response (i.e. does not involve conscious perception) to noxious stimuli.[2]

Latter studies at Queen's University, Belfast, indicated that similar crustaceans do feel pain.[17] When the antennae of rockpool prawns (Palaemon elegans) were rubbed with sodium hydroxide or acetic acid, the animals showed increased grooming and rubbing of the afflicted area against the side of the tank. Moreover, this reaction was inhibited by a local anesthetic, even though control prawns treated with only anesthetic did not show reduced activity. Elwood argues that sensing pain is crucial to prawn survival, because it encourages them to avoid damaging behaviors. Other scientists suggested the rubbing may reflect an attempt to clean the affected area[18] as application of anesthetic alone caused an increase in grooming. Several key effects were not observed in a separate study which found no behavioural or neural changes in three different species (red swamp crayfish (Procambarus clarkii), white shrimp (Litopenaeus setiferus) and Palaemonetes sp.) in response to acids or bases.[19]

Funny we sent all those jobs over there.

Go go dog BBQ, was the CEO of Caddilac in attendance ?

I know for a fact Honeywell has been snuggling up with China for many years now also, all this corporate backstabbing is just going to continue to fuck the US in the ass in the future.

The US doesn't really exist anymore IHMO, other than some kind of police force that exists for corporations that are overseas, it has been that way for a log time and continues to go that route.

The whole Confederate Flag BS and stupid things like that are just smoke and mirrors for what has been going on a long time of course.

I'm not even a tin foil hatter, I just call em as I see em.
