Because the media made Romney bringing his dog with him on vacation in 1983, in a carrier strapped to the roof of his car, the most important question of the 2012 campaign!
[...]
Then it was discovered Obama talked about "eating a dog" in his autobiography

And people like fail to understand the difference between the two things. To people who understand or experience normal human emotions this fact is quite apparent but I understand how it could be very confusing to someone who doesn't and I don't mean that as a put down to you - different people have different skill sets.

I will try to explain it to you again.

The family dog is usually viewed as a member of the family and people who have dogs assume that this means there is a personal relationship that Romney has with the dog. This is a relationship that people do not have with the animals that they eat. That Obama ate a food animal that happened to be a dog that was killed and prepared by someone else is "icky" to a lot of people but is emotionally not unlike eating a pig or steer or horse or snake or witchetty grub. It might be distasteful or "gross" to eat some of those things but it is not as loaded with emotion as the idea of strapping a family member to the roof of a car for a drive. That is the core of the issue as a character issue. If he can mistreat a family member then how can we expect him to care about the people of America. Obviously this is just an encapsulation of what he has already demonstrated in his business life. He has no compassion and is easily capable of destroying the lives of thousands of American workers to make his bank account a bit (a LOT) bigger. Mitt has shown that he doesn't care how many Americans suffer from his actions, just so long as he gets richer. That's troubling. He is power hungry and money grubbing and utterly corruptible which makes him a perfect servant for the elites - much better than Obama, in fact.

I don't understand what this is all about. Who cares if he ate dog? In some cultures dog is a normal food. Pigs are far more intelligent than dogs and we eat them. Lambs are far cuter than dogs and we eat them. And if eating animals is cruel, then only vegetarians and vegans have the right to cast any stones here.

Animal cruelty however, especially to one's pet, is a different ball game. There are laws about how to transport livestock, and I'm pretty certain that strapping a cow to the roof of a truck is not allowed. So what Romney did to his own personal pet would be "highly questionable" even if it wasn't his pet and he was transporting it to the slaughter house. The fact that it was his pet simply displays his lack of empathy.

exactly. they hypocrisy is palpable.
AS A CHILD Obama was living in a place where dog, snake and other items are normal meals. And, as a child one eats what one is given to eat. Period, the end.

mitt - as an adult - puts a dog on the top of his car (in a carrier). The dog gets so stressed it shits itself. Mitt admits to having to - HAHA - wash the car down. HAHA. :rolleyes:

call me crazy but this shows some weird thinking on mitt's part.

I understand that maybe there wasn't room in the car for doggy, but since mitt is so {bleep} rich I'm sure he could have come up with a better solution. find a bigger vehicle or something.

I've had dogs in the car over the years and some love to hang their faces out the windows and some get upset because they think you are taking them to the vet. No matter what we always put the dog's emotional wellbeing first. Isn't that what one is SUPPOSED to do??

Well, who knows, maybe this will bring about a whole new culinary interest in our little K9 friends. Apparently dog tastes a lot like pork. Of course if you don't like it you could always feed it to your... umm... cat?

Korean restaurant?
on the menu, "boshintang" is dog meat soup, "Gaegogi" is dog meat (its never translated )

"Popular Korean belief is that due to the adrenaline rush it creates, the more painful the death, the tastier the meat. Dogs are usually killed by slow hanging, beating (often in combination), electric shock through the tongue, and particularly for cats, drowning in large drums or pounding to death in sacks. The fur is burned off with a blowtorch, and not necessarily after the animal is dead. Puppies and kittens are preferred because they have a more "delicate flavor..."


dog meat is commonly consumed in China,Vietnam,Korea, and among the Inuit of Siberia, Canada and Greenland.
