Hi Deelicious! Welcome to myLot! On western visayas there is a family friend of us who are in a livestock business and he is into selling dog meat here in manila wheew! that was very in humane for some families in that places just captured a askal and then sold it to them for a little amount and then they sell it here in manila per kilo. Many are into eating dog meat for they say it was damn delicious like other meat products little that they know that there are lots of bacteria and other organisms in the meat of a dog that is not healthy to eat.

Thank you for replying to my post. You're right a lot of people like dog meat because they say its good but it has a lot of bacteria in it. Dogs are not meant to be eaten. :(

i think a person who eat the dog meat are disgusting and i can't think that i can get along with them. In my place - sabah malaysia, as you know there are a lot of filipino peoples here. I have experience where i saw a group of filipipno guys were making the dog bbq...I just can't imagine they can even eat the dog which is not healthy. Some of the chinese here also eat dog,..they like to catch the wild dog and just kill them for the meat. I am not thinking on the humane aspect, but really can't imagine peoples who will eat a dog.

i am against dog eating. i don't eat dogs.i find it so inhumane to do. although in certain places, eating dogs is one way of surviving from hunger. but there are actually laws against killing dogs for food in our country. there are also laws against animal abuses in general and this includes the brutal killing of dogs for food.

Well, I'm vegetarian and animalist, so, hearing such news.... makes me suffer really a lot.... I live in Italia, in our country dogs are treated almost as humans, so, it isn't possible that these things may happen here. Some years ago a cook-book published a recipe with meat of cat, Italians protested so much that the Publishing house had to withdraw that book from circulation and had to print it again without that terrible recipe.

from a neutral point of viw, why would killing a dog to eat it be worse than killing a cow to make hamburgers? they are both animals. In some countries, it's part of the culture to eat dogs or cats. or spiders. or worms. or grasshoppers. it's CUL-TU-RE!! you guys don't have the right to criticize that. Go in India, tell people that you love your hamburgers weeell cooked. Let's see how they react. and PLEASE!!! "how inhumane"... why would killing a dog be not humane? what about killing a sheep, or a pig, or a cow? is that more humane? and to answer the lady that is on the first page of comments (can't remember her nick), and who suggests these people should die no judgement no whatever... LADY? YOU CRY BECAUSE SOMEONE CAN KILL A DOG, AND YET YOU SUGGEST TO KILL THAT PERSON??? the only inhumane here is you.

I believe that eating dogs is common in the northern part of our country. My mother is from the north and when we go to her province, I see some restaurants that are selling cooked dogs on our way to my grandparents' house. I personally do not like to eat dog meat. We have dogs and although they are just mongrels, I cannot imagine eating them.

Dogs are just ordinary food in our province eversince. Now they added to eat cats, and snakes. Snails, frogs, wild lizards are just ordinary food. There are many others which people in metro area do not like to eat. Actually, there was not yet ordinance before prohibiting the killing and sale of dogs so dogs and dog meat were freely transported from one place to another for food. But when the ordinance was passed, they arrest people involved in it but it's very difficult to enforce as it's just easy to kill a dog.

you know in mountain provinces they perform rituals by eating dog meat.in islam,touching dog is prohibited.i myself eat dog although i have a pet dog,a siberian husky. sometimes you can't please people..a time will come that there's no edible meat but dog,so it's better to practice dog eating than be in hunger..here in my vicinity,people are tend to eat dogs that beef because it's too expensive and they can't afford to spend 140 pesos for a kilo,but if you prefer dog..you can have dog meat for 40 pesos per kilo..

I'm not all for killing dogs for their meat but in other cultures, they do. Just like they worship cows and pigs, they would probably think we are sick for eating them.
