It depends, in my area that'll be no good :eek:. Some people might just pretend to be bitten or severely scratched by your dog to make you pay. Other cases include robbers or thefts who are ready to forcefully grab your dog away right in front of you and threaten to beat you up if you call or yell for help. They can sell your dogs to someone else as pets or for meat.
What sell a dog for meat, if i had a dog it would be a wolf hound then we could sell the human for meat:eek:

It is all just a matter of culture, which animals are appropriate for food. In Western culture I think most of the animals we eat are herbivores or omnivores.
But dog/wolf is a carnivore. I don't know how would it taste...(not that I would ever try it, but that is just a prejudice). Have you every tried it, SiliconWaffle?

That's what I heard of rattle snakes, squirrels, guinea pigs ... Chicken seem to be the standard comparison to all.

What ? baked a hog in clay ? I've never eaten it myself. I hear people also bake chicken in tubes made out of bamboo trees.

They look like clean rats. I too think they will taste good. Many people in several rural areas in my country also eat rats and frogs.

Yep, French eat frogs, too.
In the past people ate a much larger variety of meats and fruits. Even 100 years ago. I looked at a cookbook written around 1900 and learned that our ancestors ate lamb, variety of game, pheasants, pigeons, other wild birds, snails, freshwater crabs. There was a huge selection of now forgotten local fruits that only a few people have now and it is impossible to buy them but old people still remember them from early childhood.
Now we only eat chicken and pork, only occasionally a fish or beef. And fruits? Just your normal supermarket selection.
We have tons of food now but I'm not sure about its quality.
This was off topic, sorry. :-)

What's HAPPENED to you Evo??! :oldsurprised:. There's no such thing as GERD in the Virtual Tiki Bar. Mix up some Margaritas! And above was supposed to read DUMBASS. Does this new format sport auto-correct?? :headbang:

Yer ON Wooly. :approve:. So how do I turn OFF the auto-correct? Contrary to what IT might think IT does NOT know what I mean! :oldbiggrin:
