Why do asian people eat dogs....and when they eat them..why do they brutally kill them like skinning alive?

they don't kill them alive.  They are butchered like any other animal (cow, chicken, etc.)  \n\nand it's NOT just asians that eat dog.  North Americans ate dog back in the 1800's.  Just read Lewis and Clark's journals; they started to prefer dog to beef, for taste.\n\n"The weather and the dog-meat rations did not improve as the explorers slowly made their way toward the Clearwater."\n\n"Provisions, especially dog meat, were what the expedition desperately needed. The Nez Perces did not usually eat dog and found it amusing that the explorers relished it."

It's no harder for them to gain weight than any one else.  Historically, asians have been slender because of their diet.  Today, many more asians have a weight problem.  It pretty much started with the introduction of western food.

If you compare the quantity and quality of food intake the reason would be more obvious. Do you know that the Japanese are very fussy eater? They are laborious people that like food to be very fresh and original so much so that they even wanted it raw! They speak alot on the food quality while they eat and drink a moderately amount in between serving. That's why you find their restaurant very noisy. If you ever had a chance to gather the volume of food they ate for the past 30 minutes, you'll be surprise it's no more than a fish burger, some fries and a whole alot of tea. It only takes 3 minutes to eat all that if you're a quiet eater.\nThe Chinese on the other hand prefer their food to be steam so that they can savour its' original taste, they somehow find refrigeration of meat very unhealthy??? Not sure why but fresh warm meat comes right after a slaughter is deem to be the best and there's no two ways to that. Deep fried food are therefore consider "cheat/artificial" food, its' overpowering taste of "13 herbs and spices" coating is just gimmick for covering up stale meat.\nBoth the Chinese and Japanese culture have in common were their unfound obessesion for what perceivingly good quality food. Wherelse the Westerner are more practical in taste and full-filment. Basic dietary balance become unimportant, often overwhelmed by the sugary coating; artificial favouring and speedy food providers. Rice althought is the main staple for asian but good amount of everything is a key to a more slimmer, healthier you.\n\nI see a growing problem in the Americian, it would be good if someone could suggest a solution that really works.

Shortly after WWII, when the country was starving and struggling for nutrition, whale meat was all they had. So a lot of Japanese people grew up on it. It was served in their school lunches, and those people ended up serving it to their own children. They're used to having the option of whale meat, and it seems so normal to them that being told to stop eating whale seems outrageous, especially to the older Japanese people. What if, one day, Americans were told to stop eating beef, and not because of some immediate threat like mad cow disease? Wouldn't people keep doing it anyway? The truth is that most people, no matter what country they're from, are incredibly short-sighted. And as long as there's a market for whale meat (legal or illegal), there are still going to be whalers out there.\n\nMaybe once the whale-eating generation dies off, we'll have more luck trying to convince them to stop.\n\nEdited to add: The problem of whaling is not so much the cruelty (though that's horrible too), but the effects that whaling has on the ecosystem. See the link below or just do a search for "whaling" and "ecosystem."

No, dogs don't eat any carcass.\nBut they like to play with it. Rub the carcass's odor all over their body. In their primitive instinct, it is kinda cool. He will be considered a tough guy among their peers.

Now you've got me scared and for good reason too.\nWhat can we the consumer do about this anyway?\nIt's all up to us the consumer as our own government doesn't seem to give a hoot about what we eat or put on our skin or what we feed our beloved pets either.\nThis is as shameful as it can get and to think that no one cares to do anything about any of this is even more scary.\nI for one appreciate you bringing this to my attention now.\nWouldn't it be a wonderful world if our own government would research and define what's safe and not safe for us to eat and use?\nI would have never guessed that I had eaten road kill or worse or given my dog or cat that and worse. Everything listed is totally disgusting by any ones standards but unfortunately not our own governments, shame on them for not protecting us as we have trusted them to do so, shame on them!!!!\nAgain I thank you for bring this to my attention.

I love dogs, but giving dogs or animals so much value over human it damn right outrageous, people spend thousands of dollars on their dogs while there are a lot of starving children all over the world that no one cares about. Those dogs could live without all those luxuries, while a child cannot survive without food. Dogs are getting more importance over human nowadays I think that people are just fed up with the human race and just turning all their attention to animals instead. I don't know where is this country going to  I think it is heading straight into the animal kingdom.

Because energy is wasted everytime it is passed on from organism to organism, so it's just not efficient for an animal to eat a high up animal when the less high up animals have more energy.  Something would have to eat a lot of humans, for instance, to be full up.

You may find my answer different, and unconventional, but my explanation is, that different types of Souls tend to inhabitate different geographical areas, some parts of the world lend more suitable grounds for more advanced Souls, than others.\n\nThe dog is, in spiritual terms, humans' closest relative.\n\nA nation or cultural group that does not recognise the worth of this very special species, and violates human values in relation to animals to this incredible degree, in my opinion only demonstrates their level of a spiritual advancement.  It is lower than that of the lowest of animals.\n\nAccording to "Rational Spirituality" violence against a defenceless being is a form of ignorance.\n\nI further believe that the South Korean attitude to animals is a best example of how wrong it is to talk collectively about "humanity", as such.  In my personal  opinion, dog killers are unfit to call themselves "human".

Why the hell not?? It's totally hypocritical to complain about people eating dogs - have you ever seen a cow/pig/sheep/chicken being slaughtered in YOUR country??? Go and watch it some day, THEN you will have the right to criticise other countries ... IF they really do behave worse than YOUR country! But farming dogs for food is NO different to farming cows/sheep/chickens/pigs for food! People NEED protein!! Meat contains protein, so why shouldn't they eat it??!!\n\nAs it happens, it's a lot less common than it used to be - because the Korean people have no need to rely on dogs for their protein nowadays! And people are keeping dogs as pets now too, so as the number of dog owners goes up, the number of willing dog-eaters naturally goes down. If YOU had a pet sheep that you loved, and it slept on the end of your bed, would you want to eat lamb?

If the U.S. even suggested such a thing, there would be a huge surge of protests and horror at the idea.  In South Korea, they don't spend money on domestic animals, unless they are buying dog meat to make dinner.  In the U.S. we treat our animals like part of the family, both dogs and cats.  I don't believe anyone in the U.S. would even suggest such a thing without having proof piled upon proof that it was necessary, and even then millions of Americans would be hiding their animals to prevent their slaughter.

Animals don't have souls, that is why we can kill them to eat them.  You don't see anyone killing your neighbor just for some prime rib(at least I hope not)

Most people who come from asia live in a very polluted environment. Maybe its the smell of factories and dead fish mixed with his fart that you smell?\n\nThe fart of the white man is usually from burgers and beans and meaty objects. Some people get their farts from vegatables. Our food is fresh, maybe asian people food is polluted?
