| Donating YT 11K Club Member | Because that's what meat is...protein and everybody needs protein. However i get proteins in other foods not meat. I understand everyone is raised differently

| my children are allergic to gluten, sugar and are lactose intolerant. It's unbelievably hard for me to find a filling, healthy meal for them that doesn't cost and arm and a leg. Quite often, it's meat and potatoes for dinner and, maybe, some day old fruit or veggie - because I can't afford to shop at Whole Foods for substitutions. my point is, that meat fills you up and keeps you full for a long time. so, if we have to eat dog or cow or chicken - if it's the cheapest, then it's dinner. i had to explain to my eldest, Jane (11 years old), what I was cooking one night. I thought about lying to her, as I had been for years, or finally talking to her on an adult level. I chose the latter. She was shocked at first and completely disgusted but when I explained to her that it was just food and she had been eating it for all of these years, she said she understood it was about what we could afford - not what we preferred. I told her that if she chooses not to eat the meat that I provide, it's her choice but not to tell her brother (Bobby - 6 years old) because he's still growing and needs all the nourishment that he can get. She still eats whatever we're having for dinner and has held up her end of the bargain and not told my son. I've got great kiddos. |

| Yorkie Kisses are the Best! Donating Member | I'm so not believing the comments - this is an old thread - how the heck did it make a revival ?? KaifuLee - You asked why we say it's sick ....well - think about it. Our dogs are our PETS - part of the family. You don't EAT family Mina....I think most all of us would say that no matter HOW broke we got....this would NEVER happen at our tables. That's what 'MAC AND CHEESE' is for no offense to any culture - but you all probably think many things we do here are awful.... just like most dog lovers think THAT is awful. |

| Is this for real??? OMG-and people are actually on here to debate why we should eat dog. No-thank you! I think I will have to pass. I treat my dogs as I would my kids-and my kids sure don't look tasty to me!!!

Many other countries eat food that American's cannot fathom but we eat Beef, which other countries/cultures find horrific. Perhaps you should all try to be less judgmental and ethnocentric. I'm not here to stir up trouble, I'm here to share my opinions and to, hopefully, broaden someones mind. | |

Doesn't mean it's always okay. When I look at my Sassy, I will nevr see dinner. It won't matter if I haven't eaten in forever. I would choose to die beofre I eat my pet. Or yours. Or somebody else's. I don't eat dog. Under any circumstances. Isn't his a ....*gasp*....dog forum? There are many forums about cuisine. All types. Perhaps you should try one of those to promote your eating of dog, KaifuLee. I don't think you are going to find many like-minded folks here. | |

| I didn't start this thread. I didn't bring this subject up. I was merely offering my opinion on it. Again, I had hoped that people could take a step out of their comfort zone and appreciate/respect other people's cultures. the dogs in question are no different than any other animal we consume for food - they are raised to be food, not pets. It's disappointing that I can't offer my opinion w/o being told to leave or join the group and discuss how gross it is. I don't think it's gross. I don't think it's wrong that you all find it disturbing and wrong. I don't judge you because you don't agree with me. That's the sad part. Perhaps a forum where everyone's views are accepted would be more up my alley. |

I simply question your 'agenda' in choosing this particular type of forum to discuss the merits of eating dog. Did you honestly expect to be embraced with open arms about this subject on this particular forum? Just wondering. Do you own a Yorkie? Are you planning on getting one? Are you looking for information about Yorkies? These are thoughts that run through my head on your choice of this particular forum. Could you answer that question? Why this forum for this subject? What is it about this forum that drew you? Sammi | |

| apparently I cannot post on here without a mod approving of my post. that's too bad. I do have a Yorkie and I love her very much. But I grew up around chickens, cows, pigs, horses and such. I learned at a very young age where meat comes from and have done the same when it comes to dog. Again, I'm not asking anyone to agree with me, just open up your minds a little and understand things aren't so cut and dry and tied up neatly with a bow. /shrug |
