Re: Eating dog meat in Cambodia
I believe it stems from how close people relate to certain animals. Dogs and cats are often kept as lifelong companions, so people get attached to them, going so far as to imagine they share human emotions. A lot of people keep rabbits and horses, while most don't actually eat them. I got offered some dog meat tonight by the doctor who owns a local shop. I've only eaten a morsel of dog meat before and it was to me disgusting. It tasted like a sweaty dog's armpit in summer. Which is what it was. Not my kind of thing.lordofmisrule wrote: ↑Sun Aug 13, 2017 8:33 pm I really don't understand when people are so prissy about eating dog and cat, unless you are vegan then you are being a hypocrite, meat is meat. What about cute bunny rabbits and horses, they are fine to eat? That you wouln't eat your own beloved pet is fine I get that but otherwise no, and I am a cat owner and previously a dog owner. No I did not eat my dog, died old of natural causes.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: Eating dog meat in Cambodia
Yeah. Me too, I can eat it but prefer not to.
Same for horses and cats and all domestic animals.

Cat is like chewing on rubber bands. Horse is best as salami.

Rabbit is good, but not particularly as a sandwich!cptrelentless wrote: ↑Sun Aug 13, 2017 9:56 pm Cat is like chewing on rubber bands. Horse is best as salami.

Rabbit is delicious!
When we were still in Aus, Ric went to help a mate on a farm sort out his rabbit problem.
He made a pot of rabbit stew, which he left bubbling away slowly on the wood heater in the lounge overnight. It cooked slowly for hours and was just divine.
The house smelt amazing for ages afterwards

I have seen rabbits for sale, hanging on the roadside venders with other delights. The road from the Japanese bridge PP to Kampong Cham.
Always "hope" but never "expect".

Re: Eating dog meat in Cambodia
I have a great love for hanging out with cows, and still love a good steak, so I don't really understand the whole stigma thing. I'm a big cat person and would be a bit perturbed by eating one, but I'd probably still try it. I totally understand if people don't want to eat dogs, but don't like it when people act like it's a shameful thing, especially if they eat meat too (I've eaten dog 5 times, enjoyed it 3/5 times, and been shamed for it probably 10+ times). Same way I don't like preaching vegans, or Christians etc. As the world stands right now it's perfectly fine to eat other (not endangered) species, who knows, in the future it may be outlawed, so we can start shaming each other for it when the time comes. Just me 2c on the matter!
