Eating Puppy Meat Is the Same as Eating Pork, British TV Chef Says


(Sky News) - British TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall claimed that eating puppy meat is no more morally objectionable than consuming pork.

The celebrity chef previously shocked viewers by eating placenta pate, curried fruit bat, giraffe and calf testicles and now claims that he would not be against a "high-welfare organic puppy farm."

Fearnley-Whittingstall, the star of Channel 4's "River Cottage," was asked by British magazine Radio Times whether he would try loin of Labrador or cat liver.

"Not unless I was on the point of starvation," he replied. "In principle, but not in practice, I have no objection to a high-welfare organic puppy farm."

He added, "You can't object, unless you also object to the farming of pigs. It's an artificial construct of our society, a cultural decision, to make pets out of dogs and meat out of pigs. Both animals could be used the other way round, although pigs probably do make better meat than dogs and dogs better pets than pigs, but it's not a foregone conclusion."

Is Great Britain a part of Asia?

I must have missed that memo.

Who gives a damn?

A frigging Limey discussing gastronomy is perhaps as believable as a Polak claiming to be sober.

But they *still* have Christian values and eating puppies is not a cultural value of their society.

Give it up, Grey. You lost the argument long time ago.

My argument from the start has been that it's a a cultural decision. I stand by that, and it's clear you missed it.

I can find nothing that Christianity has anything to do with it. (unless you consider FAST observances)

Brits say, yanks do it

In late 19th century, a cure for tuberculosis (then colloquially termed "consumption") using exclusive diet of dog meat was tried.[ Some families in Ohio, Newark (N.J) enjoyed dog meat.
In early 20th century, Dog meat was consumed in food shortage. Dog meat was sold in butcher shops in New Jersey

and i believe there is a chap in RI who lives on hot dogs

You can eat almost anything, as long as you are starving.

Believe me.

What what WHAT???

No I didn't miss it. This is not a cultural decision news, this is some dude saying he wouldn't mind to eat puppies. Not a British cultural value (yet). Maybe in the future when the word gets populated with more Grey Uhus.

That's bc you clearly don't have any knowledge of Christianity what can I say.

Sorry toots, that's EXACTLY what it's about.

Read this again:...It's an artificial construct of our society, a cultural decision, to make pets out of dogs and meat out of pigs...

The article also states the Chef would eat dog, 'only if starving'.

Believe me

will ya torture it before boiling it alive even if you were starving to death ?

no you wouldn't

Maybe we should ask the lobster how it feels about being boiled alive.

(For the record, I believe you should kill the thing - dog, lobster or chicken - humanely before boiling it.)

And no, Feathers, not all Asians eat dog.

That the western world doesn't eat dogs but asians do.

Very ignorant statement for you to say, obviously you have no understanding nor knowledge of Christian philosophy.

Only Evangelicals need to see it written on the Bible and yet they cannot make conclusions on their own. They have to come to their brothers the cath church to dig info when they hit into their usual philosophical crossroads.

Sigh...

Evangelicals are heathen idiots. They interptet the Bible no differently than muslims do the qu.ran.

Y'all realize poop's a Biblical scholar, don't you? The Book of Romans is in the Old Testament, you know - poop says so).

From Wiki:

"Dog meat refers to edible parts and the flesh derived from (predominantly domestic) dogs. Human consumption of dog meat has been recorded in many parts of the world, including ancient China, ancient Mexico, and ancient Rome. According to contemporary reports, dog meat is consumed in a variety of countries such as Switzerland, China, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Korea."

No offense intended, Feathers, but dog meat was eaten in Germany in the earlier part of the 20th Century - commonly enough that the food inspection regulations of 1934 addressed the need to inspect dog meat for trichinosis. Dog meat is still eaten, apparently, in parts of Switzerland today.

Neither Germany nor Switzerland are Asian. And not all Asians eat dog.

Nancy's obsessed and losing it.

Sissy little wimpy cunt.

I've been on this site since when?

2005?

Almost 7 years ... fuck that's a long time.

Never did I think when I joined here that I'd ever read posts defending eating puppies.

Such a shame what this site has become.

We had that argument here before, from ATM the nazi asian with inferiority complex.

Klausbarbie who I believe is from Germany or Switzerland have their own opinion about how culturally accepted is this practice in Switzerland

This event was documented to have happened in some remote village there. Otherwise, the Swiss find such practices revolting

www.fuckfrance.com . . .

But they have dog markets in Asia and only in Asia... culturally accepted practice down there. That's it.

Exactly, only because Frog Fryer decided to post that thread and they had to debate a non debatable issue which is eating doggies is culturally accepted in Asia.
