Anyone here ever eat dog?

[BJJ-Blue]

"SEOUL (Reuters Life!) - Thursday was not a good day to be a dog in South Korea. That's because it was one of the three hottest days according to the Korean lunar calendar -- and dog soup is one way to beat the heat.

On "Chobok," people seeking to protect the body from overheating eat traditional healthy foods such as ginseng chicken soup, broiled eel, and "bo-shin-tang," literally "body preservation stew."

Dogs are bred to be eaten in South Korea, and advocates say bo-shin-tang, which consists of dog meat boiled in a mix of hot and strong spices and vegetables, is good for the health. It is considered a delicacy by some.

"The reason why I eat dog soup is because it boosts my energy, even when I'm most tired," said 56-year-old Shin Gwan-sup, sitting in a dog soup restaurant.

"Compared to other meats, it has more protein and less fat. I think it is healthy and clean, a more suitable meat for us."

The Korean practice of eating dog has drawn criticism from overseas for its cruelty, with French actress and animal rights activist Brigitte Bardot among some of the most vocal critics.

But Korean dog meat connoisseurs remain undaunted, with long lines forming on Thursday outside dog specialty restaurants.

Beating the heat was painful for diners this year, though, with the price of the ginseng chicken soup, or sangyetang, jumping. Severe rain has also pushed up the price of vegetables used in the soups."

So has anyone here ever ate dog? I know it's eaten in China too, and that some members here have travelled to China.

Someone once made a good point. Dogs, for whatever reason, tend to empathize and bond with man more than virtually any other animal. True, you have domesticated versions of nearly everything, but the bond between man and dog is a particularly special one. Unconditional love and trust are traits we don't often display, even from human to human. Dogs offer it freely.

No offense America, but I'm laughing at two examples of you right now.

I've eaten dog. It was ok. Stringy, cause it was an older sled dog.

It is common in Arctic regions to have a little dog meat now and then.

Wassa matta 1badbj? You been reading up your propaganda on those terrible North Korean dog eaters again looking for more new ways to hate other people in the world that aren't like you?

lol AND

p.s Drake, you're a bonehead romantic.

I'm told cat is better.

nothing wrong with dog or cat meat...if it walks on all fours, slithers, flies or lives in water it is ok to eat.

Ummm...depending on what lists you look at, there's only 14-17 domesticated animal species

I've had dog. I was also too drunk to remember the taste

[Snipsky]

Filipino's eat dog all the time. especially the black ones because they believe a black dog out of all the others have a certain kind of power. if they eat it they would become strong.

not to my knowledge... but you never know...

So has anyone here ever ate dog?

Not knowingly, but it may have happened inadvertently.

I did buy a package of dog meat at a supermarket in China and brought it home just for fun. At least it had the characters 狗肉 (dog meat) on the package. First I thought it might be dogfood but the serving suggestion on the back involved a plate and a glass of wine!

This isn't as bad as most Busted MMA fighters and fights entires...and Koreans eat dogs too. How come they seldom get called out on it? Koreans run a surprising amount of Japanese and Chinese restaurants in the U.S.

MMA Fighter Blasted For Racist Video Mocking Random Japanese People as Dog Eaters
'Just a joke, relax.'



Mixed martial arts fighter Daron Cruickshank is being called out for mocking random Japanese people with the dog-eating stereotype in a video posted on his Instagram.

Cruickshank, who earns a living in Asia, is employed by RIZIN Fighting Federation, a Japanese MMA company.

In his controversial clip, re-uploaded by MMA apparel label Dynasty Clothing on its Facebook page, showed the MMA fighter inside a pet store which he dubbed a “Japanese meat market.”



Referring to a group of Asians in his video, Cruickshank noted that they are “checking out what they’re gonna eat for dinner.”
“Yummy huh? Yummy?” he asked while laughing at the clueless onlookers.

Cruickshank then posted a link of the clip on Twitter, writing, “Ok, I recently learned that it’s not the Japanese that eat dog. It’s the Chinese… #funnyvideos #funnymemes…”



Responding to early criticisms from fans and fellow MMA fighters on social media, he brushed it off as “just a joke,” advising everyone to “relax.”

The joke, of course, is that they must be looking to eat the dogs because they are Asians.

Finding nothing funny about the whole thing, Dynasty Clothing berated Cruickshank for his juvenile stunt.


“Posting anti-Asian ‘jokes’ to mock Asians while ironically being employed by Asian companies and while fighting/working in Asia is moronic, shameful, and wrong.”

“For the record, if you travel anywhere in the world, different people from many different cultures including within Europe and Scandinavia also consume different animals such as dogs, cats, horses, whales, cows, seals, maggots, etc. – yet you won’t hear a single word about this in the media,” the post read.

“Just because western media loves to highlight what small groups of people in Asia like to consume, doesn’t mean all Asians consume the same thing,” it added.

The brand further noted how individuals like Cruickshank “contribute to the perpetuation of harmful stereotypes against Asians worldwide with his fanbase / online which should have no place in martial arts or the world.”

The post, which tagged ONE Championship owner Victor Cui and chairman Chatri Sityodtong, reminded Cruickshank how his career depended on the culture he is making fun of.

“Himself a practitioner of Asian martial arts, while employed by Asian MMA companies such as RIZIN Fighting Federation – Daron has forgotten that without Asian people or culture – he wouldn’t even have a career in the first place.”

Cruickshank has since deleted the video but has yet to apologize for his actions.
