Owner roasts family pet in barbecue

[mynameis]

Meat is murder-no question, but in order for us to live with the moral dilemma in our culture, we generally choose to consume appointed species under appointed circumstances. We all know and get that fido is treated as part of the family and provides unquestioning loyalty, companionship, and perhaps protection. The reason consuming a Dog was the leading news item last night is because moral and ethical issues aside many Kiwis would find the thought of Dog as meat totally abhorrent.
We do not eat Dog in NZ.

That explanation is as flawed as it gets, narrow minded and biased; people making a lame pathetic attempt to explain murder to fit their own needs and "moral dilemma".

Who exactly are we to choose to make it acceptable to murder cows, pigs and sheep and say it's appointed species under appointed circumstances (to feed our fat stomach) and get all upset when someone slays a dog because mostly they are pets but in this case it wasn't the family's pet.

One could argue a cow provides lot more to us than a dog, milk and the several other dairy products like cheese, yogurt, ect..ect..and if anything cows shouldn't be murdered based on what you're saying.

Dude rationalise it anyway you like, the general public does not find the act of eating a pet Dog normal in any fashion.
Tongans, Koreans and Chinese will quickly realise that eating pet Dogs is seriously uncool and likely to estrange themselves from the general populace.
Having a laugh about Dog consumption is normal KB behaviour, but as you well know in NZ at this present time eating any bodies pet [even your own] will result in certain sectors of the community getting very fucking pissy.

Perhaps some people need to rationalise it in different ways rather than their narrow minded ways and getting so upset over it.

Like the family said it wasn't their pet dog, it was given to them by some family and it was a nuisance who tried to bite several times hence the decision to umu it before it tried to umu someone's kid.

Wonder how many people will get upset if pommy gits in NZ ate rabbits. Cute little cuddly wabbits we love them as pets too, not in stew nooo

I would eat possum, have eaten kangaroo (Woolworths used to sell kangaroo steaks) and would eat hare or rabbit. I wouldn't ever have considered eating either of my pet bunnies; nor would I go over to Australia and insist on eating kangaroo if it was considered a national "no-no" to do so.

So you would eat hare/rabbit just not your own pet rabbit and if dog meat was commercialised you'd eat that too just not your own dog. And if that family killed and ate a stray dog it would be ok but not someone's "nuisance pet".

So based on what you're saying if I lived in a farm with 20 cows and 50 sheep and had some form of emotional attachment with them I shouldn't be eating them. No wait I could eat steak/lamb I just gotta make sure what I have on my plate isn't from any of my 20 cows or 50 sheep.

I absolutely love some peoples logic, good on you for pleasing yourself

Hey I rekon the government should ban all fishing as well because I've got 12 pet fish in my tank and they all have names too

No wait fish caught is ok as long as they are not from my own tank

Thanks for showing me a whole new world out there

"Stanley Park, spokesman for the Korean Garden Trust, said he was shocked that it was legal to kill dogs and eat dog meat here.
The trust says it hopes that activities at the $1.5 million Korean Garden project, launched last Saturday, will help counter the belief that dog eating is an integral part of the Korean culture.
"Dog eating may be part of our history, but most Koreans today would consider eating dogs totally barbaric - and our culture actually forbids us making a meal of animals that are considered companions," said Mr Park.
South Korea has outlawed the selling of dog meat since 1984 and he said many Koreans want the practice of dog meat consumption to be banned.
"We hope that New Zealand will also make it illegal for people here to eat dogs."

whats the best way to cook dog?

[gatch]

Most of us would not under normal circumstance kill or eat a house hold pet, because simply it is a pet and you like having it around.

This animal was not a beloved family member, it was of a bastard breed and from the sounds of it, was in fact a cunt of an animal.

Personally in the circumstance I wouldn't have any qualms about killing it, I think alot of kiwi males could probably muster the cojones to end the nuisances life, only difference is they biffed it on the fire and made use of the carcass, culture aside, its a dead animal, bib on, bbq sauce out, tuck in..

You're an idiot.

I am prepared to concede that there is naturally an emotive bias when talking about someone's pet. I'll say it again, people DO make a distinction between what is a family pet (and yes, before you labour the point again, it would appear that this particular dog in question wasn't a family pet - well, not their family's anyway) and animals bred for commercial purposes.

Go back to your vegan hole.

I'll bring a Labrador!

Come to think of it I must have some relatives I can ask for recipes...

I was actually disgusted when I first heard this on the news (my uninformed blinkered reflex action kicking in) but after reading that Stuff article I have to admit I'm kind of pro dog-burger now. Judging by the positive responses in this thread I see I'm not the only one (I was actually expecting to be reading pages of coconut bashing in typical KB fashion!)

I'm pretty open to different types of food and even when visiting other countries I like to try 'questionable' treats. Now that our borders are open and we've become a bit of a melting pot it's only logical that some of those questionable practices (to us) will be seen here.

To the rednecks that don't like it - tough, go back to your rocking chair on the porch and mumble to your shotgun.

And to the cuddly dog brigade, stop trying to impose your beliefs on others. Go back to your blinkered fantasy world where only meat you were brought up to eat magically appears in wrapped vacuum packs on the supermarket shelf and leave the business of how and what gets there to those with the stomach for it.

This pitbull cross dog. Surely it was micro-chipped in accordance with liarbour's law?

Hope nobody in the family choked on the microchip!

for fucks sake this is new zeland not a third world country like tonga,

Correct. NZ is a Banana Republic.

No are they pets over there

They are a protected species... for some bloody weird reason!

[HenryDorsetCase]

Yeah, the heads of organisations like RSPCA and PETA are far too emotional. They love animals which is great, but they forget that we're animals too and eating other animals is what alot of animals do. I just used "Animals" three times in one sentance.

I just played the Pink Floyd album "Animals" in honour of this thread, and that poor doggie.
