Rails said..Reminds me of a funny story from new Ireland, after eating pork for a week my mate finally twigged that there were no pigs on the islands but a fairly good population of dogs that the locals never ever patted

sad if there is cruelty involved though probably no worse than the local Australian factory chickens and feedlots
animal proteins are so 20th century
There are heaps of pigs in New Ireland, besides shell money it is one of the big shows of wealth. dogs traditionally are not pets in PNG. Primarily they were hunting dogs, and around villages kept vermin down and survived (just) on scraps.

You can instantly tell the difference between dog -red meat, pork white meat.
There is really no difference between eating dog, and any other meat. As long as there is a bit of humanity in its life, and death, what is the difference, between eating a dog, cow, sheep, rabbit, chicken or guinea pig?
