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.


Actually it’s quite quick.

The butcher has a slat of wood about 18” long with a wire loop tied to the slat at about mid point. He simply puts the loop over the dog’s head, takes up slack in the loop and starts twisting the slat.

It’s over pretty quick. It’s a common scene outback of restaurants and in open air markets .

The degree of my privacy is no business of yours.

What we've learned from history is that we haven't learned from it.
