Hot Dog
I don’t thinks so

China, a beacon for the whole world.

Let’s just hope they keep buying our debt.

Magnus   March 10th, 2010 - 8:02 am

Dog meat is actually quite tasty. But I bet the reporter is perfectly ok with ABORTION. Rethink your stance on human life, then go after people who eat dogs. Dogs in China are raised to be meat, just like chickens and pigs everywhere else in this world. People don’t go to some park and steal your dog and then cook it for locals in their restaurant… good grief. I asked my students all the time, DO YOU LIKE TO EAT SNOOPY? They all resoundingly answered… “NO!”

no way   March 10th, 2010 - 8:10 am

I knew that they did this but seeing it on a scale of this gets to me, just look into their eyes.

Nostromo   March 10th, 2010 - 8:19 am

I think your’e barking up the wrong tree! My friend(a fellow American) had dog as a main course at his bithday party. People are more concerned about animal rights in china than human rights. Besides,its their society NOT OURS. All this caterwauling from a bunch of nosey people. If it were legal in the U.S. you wouldn’t see so many stray cats. I thought my son was kidding when the cat population suddenly shrank after a certain ethnic group moved into his girlfriends community—-Yum YUUUUUUUM !

Political John   March 10th, 2010 - 8:20 am

The Chinese are The most xenophobic, racist, hateful people on the planet.

Ask any ethnic minority group in SE Asia, or central Asia. Ask anyone who lives in the Phillipines, Singapore, Thailand, any of the Southeast Asian states, any country of Asian association. They will tell you who they fear most, and it is not the United States.

The Chinese History is rife with constant internal bloodshed, and conquering wars waged on “lesser” peoples viewed as inferior to the “Han” Chinese ethnic group.

Do not be fooled, China is biding it’s time, they hate us : not just for our idealogy, but for the very color of our skins and the slant of our eyes.

And now they own us.

JD   March 10th, 2010 - 8:26 am

Hey wait a second- What about respecting cultural diversity? What about accepting peoples differences? Golly, all you people who find this odd or cruel are so closed minded- You need to free your thinking and accept all cultures equally. China and dog meat, Africa and bush meat (Gorilla meat)-Who are we as Americans to judge these other equally advanced cultures by our own backward Judeo-Christian standards and our mean spirited Imperialistic aggression nature.

hempstead   March 10th, 2010 - 8:27 am

For all their progress they are still little more than savages. God help us all when they rule the world…..

Travis   March 10th, 2010 - 8:45 am

With more food coming in from China, it makes sense to read the labels and ingredients, especially at those super center stores.

Colascguy   March 10th, 2010 - 8:52 am

Wow savages that is harsh. Do you think Hindus believe the we are savages because we eat cows or how about Muslims because we eat pork. There are plenty of things here in the US that I prefer not to eat but I don’t not have a sanctified attitude about it.

Go To It   March 10th, 2010 - 8:58 am

I’d rather they gobbled up a few barking mutts rather than eat every fish on the face of the earth!

Angry Xgen'er   March 10th, 2010 - 9:27 am

Dog and cat as food is common in China, why suddenly the issues with it ? Westerners tend to anthropomorphize animals of all types, leading us deem any use of animals, other than using them as house pets, as cruel and/or unusual.
Women are particularly apt to place human characteristics onto animals, “just look into their eyes”, it is irrational. Dog and cat protein is inexpensive and available, projecting ‘human rights’, onto them and making it illegal, will cause undo hardship upon the social-ecomomic class that eats it. Still many, many poor Chinese, the people with the new motor bikes and cell phones are the minority. And to have a pet is a luxury.

katy   March 10th, 2010 - 9:38 am

What they don’t show you is how the dogs in China are prepared before butchering.
They’re stabbed, clubbed, beaten, hung by their front paws tied behind their backs and this goes for hours to induce adrenalin which they believe enhances the taste of the meat. The dogs scream in agony alone, bleeding, suffering a horrible terrifying death.

This is beyond disgusting.

Liberal   March 10th, 2010 - 9:42 am

We should treat dogs like humans: abort them in the womb, and those that make it we should tax the hell out of them to support other dogs that don’t work.

Mr. Pig   March 10th, 2010 - 9:45 am

If only my kind had fur and dark eyes we could put an end to the American Holocaust (or as we pigs call it, the “Hamocaust”)

Eric Ru   March 10th, 2010 - 9:48 am

No dog, cat, seal or dolphin – I sure hope there is alien life, our menu is getting kinda boring.

Wanda   March 10th, 2010 - 10:00 am

They eat horse in some countries too I dont think just because we dont like it that we have a right to tell others they shouldnt either .

JD   March 10th, 2010 - 10:06 am

Wanda-
They eat horse in Miami, FL USA- gotta love that cultural diversity!!!
Now lets all sing “We are the world”.

Boxurian   March 10th, 2010 - 10:16 am

I agree. If we are to give animals more rights, one of them should include the right, NO, the obligation to pay taxes.

Harry   March 10th, 2010 - 10:19 am

A few years back, I ran into some stuffed cats and dogs being sold as toy animals at a local bedding store, all Made in China, of course. They looked so real, because they were in fact, real stuffed animals. I informed the store owner and they stopped selling them.

I also wrote to my federal representatives as well.

They need to ban the import of stuffed dogs and cats being sold as toys.

Wanda   March 10th, 2010 - 10:23 am

JD

So if horse is ok here why not dog ?????

I think to eat a horse is sick eatting dog to me is sick also but I didnt grow up eatting it like they do in china

Guest   March 10th, 2010 - 10:32 am

In England and probably elsewhere, new parents eat the placenta from their newborn.
I am more concerned with what comes out of a person’s mouth than what goes in. I read that Hitler was a vegan. And a tree-hugging environmentalist.

Angry Xgen'er   March 10th, 2010 - 10:47 am

Goat is a widely raised and consumed animal as well. One of the most widely consumed I think. And when raised around the house, have nice, dog-like characteristics.
Does the entire world need to eat hormone raised beef and chicken, packaged and sold on styrofoam and wrapped in plastic ?
Perhaps there is another motive behind this effort to ban these neighborhood shops. Maybe (Big Agra) in China wants to be the sole provider on protein.
This ‘animal rights’ push may be a big business ploy.

Sean R.   March 10th, 2010 - 10:47 am

I think dog meat and cat meat should be BANNED, simple as that, because both dogs and
cats are “domestic” animals in which we as human-beings can keep as a pet(s), now as for
livestock animals, those animals are for slaughter, and yes we the human race do eat
livestock (I eat them myself). But ranchers kill livestock animals real quick, they
don’t torture them or beat them up, only the liars from PETA claim that BS, & speaking of
PETA, where the hell are they when it comes to China on them killing dogs & cats for
food? The silence from PETA on this issue is deafing, PETA is like those silent films
from the 1920s, they have NOTHING to say about this issue, but when it comes to
restaurants like KFC, McDonalds, Burger King, White Castle, Jack in the Box, etc., they
have big ass mouths for them, but they say nothing about China eating domestic animals!

john   March 10th, 2010 - 10:48 am

Here’s a the big problem I have with liberals. They are so hateful and agitate here, when the real problems are elsewhere! They need to go where the real problems are!

PETA, Human rights watch, Sierra Club, ACLU, SEIU, Code Pink, NAACP — ought to go to places where there are real problems with animal rights, pollution, free speech, racism, genocidal violence, worker rights, civil rights, gay rights, womens rights, and human rights like: China, India, Sudan, Iran, Afghanistan, Russia,and Venezuela.

They are commie frauds.

Jeremy   March 10th, 2010 - 10:50 am

lewis and clark found dog to be a tasty meal.

Jeremy   March 10th, 2010 - 10:52 am

“sean r” people keep pigs as pets. Havent you ever seen Babe.

Sean R.   March 10th, 2010 - 10:54 am

JD, quit talking out of your ass you schmuck, so you think that it’s ok to eat domestic
animals you jackass? And another thing JD, to me you seem to be history challenged
regarding towards US history, have we EVER conquered a country and want land from them?
I don’t think so, so for you to call us imperialistic is completely BS and absurd, so
turn off your computer, turn off your TV & radio and re-read US history all over again,
instead of stupid left wing propaganda from either the UN, government, or college
professors or school teachers!

Liberalism is a Mental Disorder!!!

William   March 10th, 2010 - 10:58 am

Eating cats and dogs? Just depends on how you cook’em.

Sean R.   March 10th, 2010 - 10:59 am

Jeremy your right, some folks do keep pigs as a pet, but primarly pigs are livestock
animals, and folks do eat pigs (I eat them on a rarely basis, I don’t eat alot of pork
because it can mess up your own arteries). But cats and dogs are NOT livestock animals,
they are domestic animals!

I don’t mind talking about this, to me this topic is more fun and interesting instead
of boring myself to death on talking about boring politics!

Fred   March 10th, 2010 - 10:59 am

I became aware of what the Chinese do to the dogs by watching an undercover Peta video several years ago. It makes you want to cry. They (for their fur trade) SKIN THE DOGS ALIVE. The look on one dogs face and eyes as he was being skinned alive was horrifying. This made me a lifetime member of Peta. I wish there was more I could do, like sending a SEAL Team over there to clean up this industry. BOYCOTT CHINA PRODUCTS ESPECIALLY FUR.

MMM MMM Good!   March 10th, 2010 - 11:00 am

Who really gives a flying fuq what people eat in China?

I’d rather eat dog than spend 5 minutes with these animal loving wackos.

Commieobamie   March 10th, 2010 - 11:09 am

Dogs and cats are eaten, but no cries against islamo muslims cutting peoples heads off with dull kitchen knives.
Yep, your priorities are in the correct place.

Contrarian   March 10th, 2010 - 11:42 am

Chinese, like all Leftists, are all about equality of outcomes…..Considering there are way too many Chinese on the planet, so, for every one dog or cat, we should take one Chinese person and grind them up into pet food.

Hey, equality, right?

Wanda   March 10th, 2010 - 11:45 am

Sean R.

Where I live PETA was going to protest the milk ranchers they claim that they were hurting the cows when milking them , dont you think thats odd since when u see a cow on a milk machine they are standing there eatting looks like alot of pain to me lol,they(PETA) were going to dump a hundred gallons of milk now thats real smart people starving and they are throwing it away. I think they wont be happy till everyone just turns into veggy eatters but what then will they say you are hurting plants then just to get the attention.China and those other countries would boot their butts out of their countries!!

no way   March 10th, 2010 - 12:28 pm

Pigs in the wild are known to eat people, also don’t fall into a pig’s feeding bin at a farm.

yes way   March 10th, 2010 - 12:41 pm

no way,
wild dogs will also eat a person, but when you feed them you become the alpha dog of their new pack, and thus they obey you… otherwise, a pack of wild hungry dogs would tear you up and not think twice about it. btw, we’ll ALL be eating cats and dogs if this administration keeps bankrupting us. Keep an eye on fluffy, because if it’s between me and your pet, and it wonders into my yard, fluffy is going to be on the grill next to my fido. Who are we to tell China what animals they can and cannot eat? Or maybe we should just let them incinerate their overpopulation like we do. I mean, hell, if you’re gonna cook ‘em, you might as well eat ‘em.

PoochHysteria   March 10th, 2010 - 12:43 pm

What’s patently offensive is the bias of the report agreeing with the snooty ‘intellectual’. Who’s to define what’s ‘civilized’? You would think the real civilized behavior involves tolerating differences so long as it doesn’t infringe on your liberty. I wouldn’t eat Tom or Jerry but it’s obnoxious to dictate what another person can eat. Statism has reached our pets. How sad

demh8r   March 10th, 2010 - 1:23 pm

First the video of their sadistic practice of being served a live fish to eat before they kill it and now this! I’m starting to think Asians are evil to the core. Whatever we consume, human beings have an obligation to treat animals humanely. I would bet not all their “inventory” is kept in such large holding pens as on the cnn video. I could just imagine how some are cramped together as these sick bastards wait with their chopsticks.

testicular man   March 10th, 2010 - 1:49 pm

Let’s try to boycott as much as humanly possible from these Chi-Coms. I know that practically everything is made there but still, there’s something we can do. I despise theses freaking chinks and besides, I own two (2) adopted dogs.

Oh yeah, JD, you’re an idiot!

Yum-O   March 10th, 2010 - 1:49 pm

Nothing like a pitbull pot pie smothered in greyhound gravy – or heck even
some schnauzer sausage sounds really good right now!

Ginny a   March 10th, 2010 - 2:21 pm

Yum-o you are a jerk.
In the BIBLE it specifically states thou shall not eat animals with paws
http://www.reactor-core.org/food-laws.html
China is a EVIL nation.

yes way, kill any animal you want and eat it with a smile   March 10th, 2010 - 3:02 pm

Ginny a, The dietary laws were for the Old Testament, so unless you’re planning on following all of the law (including sacrificing helpless sheep at the Temple) you may want to rethink your theology.

Yum-O, I agree, I’d love to try dog, bet it taste like those poor helpless chickens

testicular-man, why are you going to boycott Chinese products, because they eat an animal you think is cute? I think cows are cute, but you probably eat them too. Sorry, but someone who devalues a whole race of human beings by referring to them as “chinks” has lost any moral high ground to pretend concern for animals.

demh8r, you’ll stick a hook through a fish while it’s alive, causing it writhe around until it dies by your hand, or you’ll stick a knife through it while it’s alive to severe its head and take out its guts etc. but you won’t stick a fork in it while it’s alive? “Humane” comes from “human” and animals are not human. Yes, we shouldn’t torment them for fun, but that is not what these people are doing. btw if you have a problem with fishing, then you’re already a lost cause.

All these Statist comments trying to impose some international law on another country coming from a conservative website? Odd.

Oh well, America, back to incinerating your overpopulated animals… enjoy!

Colascguy   March 10th, 2010 - 4:33 pm

Yes Way

I am very conservative and I see no point in telling the Chinese what they can eat.

roger   March 10th, 2010 - 6:28 pm

But killing human babies… now that is protected.

billydakidd   March 10th, 2010 - 7:44 pm

JD, move to China, and take your commie friends with you, you good for nothing unappreciative leech.

Albert   March 10th, 2010 - 11:13 pm

I like this because it makes stupid liberals mad. Thanks for the clip.

swizzle   March 10th, 2010 - 11:37 pm

I love my dogs…spend good money on getting their shots, consider them part of the family but hey, it’s what they eat there. it’s a different culture. How do we know they’re not delicious?

you're ugly, so get on my plate.   March 11th, 2010 - 1:46 am

The only argument I hear people making is this: Only ugly animals should be eaten.

LoneSurvivor   March 11th, 2010 - 11:39 am

I do not agree with eating cats and dogs, but for China to cave to “animal rights” groups and ban a main source of meat/food for their already food challenged masses this is ridiculous.

Perhaps the “animal rights” groups won’t have a problem if the hungry Chinese turn to eating their unwanted female babies.

hardtruth   March 13th, 2010 - 3:37 am

These people are primitave animals themselves. They dispence the cats by dunking them ALIVE in boiling water and quickly pealing off their fur coat while the animal still squirms in shock and pain, and they are butchered alive from there. Only thing worse is partial birth abortions where the baby is partially delivered and then murdered by having its brains sucked out. Our fine President has no problem with this, and even if a baby somehow survives a botched abortion and is delivered ALIVE, he belives that infant should not be given medical attention but be left to die and be disposed of.

workinmom   March 24th, 2010 - 2:36 pm
