I know I eat meat so maybe I've got no right to criticise the way other people do things but have a look at this Evil or Very Mad

Going to be controvertial here on the basis that the site has very little information on the condition these dogs are kept in, in accordance with the countries economic status and chooses an alarmist attitude as opposed to a factual one.

I don't think that we have any right to pass judgement on another cultures choice of food...and yes I would support the rights of indigenous tribes cannabilism, they generally only eat their own anyway unless you uneducated enough to wander aimlessly into their turf.
The French happily eat horse for example and I am certain there is at least one member on here who would be mortified at that prospect.

Isn't there a religion that doesn't eat pork? I forget which one. They consider it a dirty animal so won't eat it.

I DO however have a problem with cruelty. The meat I eat I buy from reputable farms and I am a strong supporter of traceability. Can't say I could cope with knowingly eating dog...just doesn't appeal to me in the same way I can't stand offal, not sure i could eat horse either...but thats by the by.

Also reading the welfare act, it states that it

Cassandra Its not their right to eat what they want that bothers me its How the animals are treated. I know our own slaughter houses can't be exactly pleasant places. There's more info on another site I'll see if i can find it again.

just been reading over the welfare act...its a mess.

It is soooo full of loopholes even I could get through those and I have no legal training. There are more issues to take with that welfare act than cute lil doggies.

Killing of Crocdiles for example, aren't they endangered...but you can kill them no problems...just like cows? It also states that a dog can be killed if it has been used for animal testing....guess they missed that bandwagon then.

I also stand corrected it does prohibit the killing of dogs, so that law has been passed...albeit badly Wink

I still do however consider the site to be badly researched, animal rights protestor sensationalist tripe Wink

Remembered where I first heard about it, on TV. Cassandra if you go to the bbc home page and search for Phillipine dog meat trade there's a bit there. There are other places on google but no idea how reliable they are. Hope your right and it isn't as bad as it looks.
