that's sad. don't they eat dogs over there too
But is that any worse then eating any other animal? I know many people consider dogs to be man's best friend, and perhaps a step above other animals, but its not necesarily like that for every culture. I respect vegans and vegetarians, and I don't think I could ever bring myself to eat a dog, but still I can respect another persons culture and their right to eat.
* the massacre of dogs does sound pretty horrible though. I hope I'm not coming off as too much of a animal-hater here, it's just some people don't have the same access to certain meats, and animal life is still life whether its a fly or a dog or a chicken. Dogs are cute and more commonly a part of the family, but I don't think that means their lives are more valuable then a cows, or at least not in all cultures.
