The Maori were eating their dogs when Tasman and Cook arrived.
Soooo...wouldn't that make it a New Zealand custom?

Maori were eating Maori... does that help you with your dilemma ?

Nonetheless, our opinion of the matter is based on our expectations of whats OK to eat, not on the law.

As the animal was killed humanely, the SPCA would appear to have stolen the mans lunch !

Why? What's wrong with having brought over footy and fish n chips??? By bringing your culture here, you've enriched our own? What the heck is wrong with that? Ok, not everyone believes those things enrich New Zealand culture, but big freakin deal... the only place you'll get mass consensus from a room full of people is in the mortuary.

I don't really have the time or inclination to worry about what other people are up to, so I'm happy to leave that to the people that enforce the laws of the land.

Sounds fair, if it's true.

I've been a chef for 30 years & reckon the Chinese have got it right. " If it moves with the sun on it's back, you can eat it." What rip's my nightie is the bashing the poor dog is getting. The first hint of Pit Bull & the ignorant scream "Dangerous dog!" Any dog is a reflection of it's owner & unfortunately Bull Terriers often appeal to people who want to project a scary, tough image but who are essentially weak, it used to be Rotti's, Doberman, Mastiff's etc. I have a Bull Terrier cross, she sleeps with the cat. The cat has muscled her way into the dogs kennel & the mutt is at a loss what to do. Dangerous my a**e. How this reflects on me as her owner, time will tell. Don't be too cruel..
By the way, dog tastes like a cross between chicken & veal. It's good to be at the top of the food chain.

No, it wasn't native.
It was brought here by the Maori themselves.

So now, after the recent news, a Bull Terrier would project the image of being a cook.

No indigenous mammals here, barring the short- and long-tailed bats.

Yep. Known as Kuri. And used as a protein source.
There is a river in Hawkes Bay called the Tutaekuri. Tutae is a word for waste, commonly thought to mean 'shit'. It actually includes offal, too. The river was so named as a result of dogs being killed/eaten there, and the inedible waste/offal being disposed of by dumping. Really should rename it, as these days the dumping is of burnt-out stolen cars...tahuwakahonki

Sorry - OT and OTT
