Questionable — no sure link.

I don’t have a link (?) but last week I read that in or associated with the “wet” (blood) markets where you see stacks of caged dogs, the belief is held that as they torture the dog to death, the more the dog suffers in the process, the better the meat.

Absolutely sick to my stomach if true. Regardless, stacks of caged animals — dogs! is unconscionable.

All cultures are not equal.


Recorded and described by the early 20th century Russian explorer and naturalist, Vladimir Arseniev. Stated as the common practice in China brought to the Amir region by Chinese overlords and used against the indigenous Siberian tribesmen of the areas. Read his "Dersu the Trapper" for more details.

"Come, shall we go and kill us venison?
And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."
