Stormy Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 No i would not eat it if it had dog in it atall. I dont know if our supermarket burgers was found to have any horsemeat?? That has not put me off meat though but yes if it was found to have dog in it i would stop eating them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rosemary Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Never .................. the only meat I will eat is beef, lamb and chicken. If those 3 meats were taken off the menu I will go vegetarian, without a doubt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julieanne Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 What animals a person will eat depends a lot on how they view that animal. I see cats, dogs and horses as companions so NEVER would I eat that meat, it doesn't anger me that people choose to but I do feel saddened that they don't see them the way I do. I use to eat pork but something about it has turned me off. At the end of the day there are a lot of gross things in food (not just meat) so it's hard to avoid unless you are overly obsessive.

Mollys Dad Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 PARTLY it depends on your culture: Koreans (I think???) eat dog Muslims don't go near pork French have horse on sale in street markets (marketed as actually being horse, so none of this dishonesty stuff...) Rabbit is available here & there Tesco used to sell ostrich but it evidently didn't sell very well so they stopped offering it Iceland has various meat available - horse (didn't try it - I had whale instead), Puffin (smoked puffin breast - fantastic) Guillemot (unbelievable). Don't get me started on thorrablot... (seriously - look it up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
musicalxheart Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 PARTLY it depends on your culture: Koreans (I think???) eat dog My dad told me a long time ago that Koreans eat dog. He said that he had it in some sort of soup, and didn't know what the meat was until someone asked him if he knew and when he said no, they told him and he was shocked. He said it was "good", and I literally shuddered at the thought of it. I don't see dogs as something that I would want to eat, they are friends and companions in my eyes. So I would never be able to eat dog meat. I would also go vegetarian if dog was the only source of meat available to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MollynDiesel Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I own a horse, yet horse meat in the burgers didnt put me off. But I own dogs and I wouldn't even consider eating dog meat! Not sure why... Seems a little weird to even me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed #5 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 Koreans *do* eat dog. I made the mistake of ordering a pizza one time at a restaurant local to the base - found out it was dog - after I'd eaten it. Kinda tough, kinda stringy and none too appetizing.

Duremite Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I would probably never knowingly eat dog, but if I found a dish I liked, only to later find out it contained dog, it probably wouldn't put me off. GRANTED THOUGH, I would have to do research into the nature of the erm, butchering of the meat before I would ever eat it again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devildust76 Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 I have been veggie before but went back to meat but the way things are going I could quite easily give it up again. I know people are saying we've been eating these things for years without knowing but it has REALLY grossed me out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sarah Posted February 8, 2013 Report Share Posted February 8, 2013 no no and no lol Difference between a dog and a horse - you see more dogs, and everyone here has one, i think you can relate to the horse more as they're "mans best friend" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Storm Angel n Auroras Mum Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 No ewww and i now no longer eat burgers or frozen lasagne lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Removed #5 Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I've got to be careful with this or I'm going to plant my foot squarely in my mouth - all the way to my kneecaps at least. For a group of people who have always agree on one thing - our love of our dogs - it's nice to know that we also agree on this, that dogs are for fun and work not food. Sometimes we seem to have threads where it seems as if no one agrees with anything anyone else has said so to find us in absolute agreement on something seems to be rare.

Druid_Ian Posted February 9, 2013 Report Share Posted February 9, 2013 I voted no because they are predators not prey animals, I have eaten horse in France with no ill effect Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elyse Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 No! I've eaten rabbit, caribou, venison, and elk...but will NOT eat dog, or cat, or horse. I see them as pets, and have/currently have emotional attachment to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I will not eat dog. I have eaten horse on the continent, and have no objection to doing so. The issue with the recent contamination is that if horse meat is being introduced as beef, it is obviously being done illegally, and that being the case, there is nothing to say whether it is fit for human consumption. Regulation prevents certain antibiotics and drugs being introduced to the feed chain, but if regulation is being bi-passed, then who knows what we are actually eating.

lebe03 Posted February 10, 2013 Report Share Posted February 10, 2013 I would not knowingly eat dog but who knows what's in our food these days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mydiamond Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 No I will NEVER eat dog I come from a dog-eating country and I know how they kill those dogs bred for meat.. I would never come near such food knowing that It's part of the culture so nothing can really be done but eating dog meat is disgusting to me our local rescue has also tried to rescue some dogs waiting in line to be cooked but I honestly doubt they'd get a lot of support... after all, local tradition is to be preserved Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julieanne Posted February 12, 2013 Report Share Posted February 12, 2013 Still wish it didn't happen, but I've seen photo's of dogs in cages bred for their meat and they don't look like a pet and I'm pretty sure most people would choose to have a labrador or husky over those dogs. I feel a bit better knowing there is that difference between them, but like I said the less it happens the better. Again, I would NEVER eat them.

Stranger Posted February 13, 2013 Report Share Posted February 13, 2013 i would never eat dog meat, or cat....horse would prefer not to. But the way i look at it is, if i had a pet horse, i probably would never eat horse meat. Similar to how a friend of mine would never eat rabbit because she has rabbits.... Its a dificult subject, because as much as i dont agree with dogs being eaten alot of people dont care hense why there is a market for it. I am not actually bothered that there could be horse meat in the burgers, as its obviously been going on a while and so far nothing has happened to anyone. What i dont like is the fact that nobody has picked it up till now, surely they should have a test sample from every batch of meat going out to supermarkets just in case there is something wrong with the meat. Why has it taken so long! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
