    ^ Probably bc dogs are generally considered as house pets, hence the reluctance.

    Cruelty and the kitchen

    By Richard Black
    BBC News, Shimonoseki, Japan


    [...]
    I was in a waterfront cafe in Shimonoseki, a long-time whaling port. In front of me was whale meat, from an animal which it is simply unthinkable to eat in Britain - so unthinkable that I had to promise my daughters I would not touch a morsel of it during my time in Japan. Yet once in Japan, nothing seemed more normal.

    [...]

    In most parts of Europe and North America whales have become iconic, sacrosanct, no more to be killed or hurt than your close relative.

    But in the Japanese view, they are a wild natural resource to be used, just like fish or lobsters or rabbits or boar. And the more I have thought about it, the more complicated the arguments have grown. Firstly there is conservation. There is a popular view that all whales are endangered - and many species are, but by no means all. And it certainly was not Japan that drove some species towards extinction.

    The Americans, Brits and Norwegians did that, with a bit of help from the rest of Europe and its former colonies. Has it become convenient to blame Japan? Cruel death?

    [...]

    Who decides, and how, which cruelties are acceptable, and which not?

    At its 2006 meeting the International Whaling Commission saw a fascinating vignette played out.

    Australia's environment minister was laying into the Japanese delegation in forthright style, casting them as ignorant slaughterers of cute and special creatures. The Japanese delegate replied by asking about Australia's annual "slaughter" of two million kangaroos. Later I chatted with one of the Australian journalists who tend to write about whaling in pretty stark language, using phrases like "barbaric cruelty" whenever there is an opportunity. Not only did this particular environment journalist see nothing wrong with the kangaroo slaughter, but they had actually been on the annual hunt, shot some "roos", and thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

    Back in Tokyo, I sat one evening in a sushi restaurant dining with a young, modern urban Japanese lady who was tucking into some raw whale. I asked whether she would ever eat dog. She looked shocked. No, no, she told me, it would be unthinkable - but her whale was delicious.

    A few years before, in Vietnam, I had seen restaurants with cooked dogs hanging up outside, much as Chinese restaurants in Western cities display cooked ducks and slabs of roast pork.

    So would Vietnamese people ever eat whale? Apparently not, I am told - it would be unthinkable.

    So why the contradiction? Why is it OK to eat horses in France and Italy but not in Britain? Why do Finns proudly serve reindeer, and Icelanders puffin, while others recoil at the thought of eating them?

    Does every society concoct its own list of what is acceptable and what is not?

    Does every individual do the same? Is it just culture? And if it is, is there any hope of securing agreement between different camps on issues like whaling? Is it even right to try?

    The most extreme example I have come across of what you might call "food anathema" involves frogs. Blended frogs are sold as a health drink in parts of Peru

    [..]

    Well, a couple of years ago a South American researcher showed me that it actually happens. In a market in Peru he had come across a stall selling Extracto de Rana - frog extract. Live frogs would be liquidised with honey, malt and herbs to produce a supposedly healthy tonic drink.
    That, I suspect, would be unthinkable - not to say undrinkable - in most cultures. If it were offered to me, I would turn it down... I think.
    [...]

    Unthinkable at home, normal here. What was the right thing to do?

    I was watching the Discovery Channel's Taboo one day and the topic was exotic foods. The mentioned about eating dogs. They said that there is a special variety of dog that people raise for human consumption. It doesn't resemble Benji or Lassie in any way at all. They also said that people eat dog meat because its keeps them warm and its suppose to act like Viagra too.

    The way I view it is that people all over the world has to eat and they usually eat what's in their region. Whether it be the Inuits's up north that eat raw seal (Anthony Bourdain did an show on that) to Vietnam where he ate Squizzle (aka porcupine), its part of people's diet and lives. I really don't know if I would eat dog if I was ever in the situation to make that choice. But I don't think bad of anybody that would it though. T

    It tastes like beef, but tender. Really tender and sweet. If given to you without you knowing what that is, you would just eat it and really enjoyed it.
