@donabel01 It's common food in the Northern Provinces despite the ban.
The Indon and Malay settlers in the Philippines domesticated dogs as farm guards and for food since 6000 years ago. At present an estimated 40% of Filipinos eat dog meat for reasons of Taste, Tradition or poverty.
The problem is that dogs move their tail when they see you (most of them). Other animals don't do that. So eating a dog is like eating your best friend or someone you care and love...If I had to kill animals with my own hands in oder to survive I think I'd become a vegetarian.
@Virgiecatorce You are just conditioned to think that dogs are special. Cows plow fields, carry heavy loads, obey voice command, love and care for it's young, feel pain and just because it cannot show emotion doesn't make it an inferior animal to dogs. Animals have their own traits. All animal life are equal. It's a matter of choice. If you can chose to eat a cow/beef then why can't some people chose to eat a dog?
@kim29223 Hi kim!. Yes, youre right. Í agree. If I had a cow (not a dog) I wouldn't eat cow either. For me, is more like a "pet issue" :P Have a nice day!
Let me first acknowledge that I am not an expert regarding animal history. But, it is my observation and impression that (non wild) dogs have a uniqueness in that they were bred from the start to be companions to human. Not just to live alongside humans or as a human food source but to be actual companions. I have not seen the level of natural inclination to win the approval of humans and to have relationships with them in other animals like I have in dogs.
@ActaNon When pigs are confined in the pigpen they don't have the chance to show how emotional they are. But in some instances were pigs are treated like pets, you'll be surprised how a pig can emotionally attach to humans more than a dog. Of course pigs are not cute but they do lick your face and rub your foot. They recognize voice command and can perform tasks. Some farmers even expiremented with them to drive cattles, they can do but they are slow so not as efficient as dogs.
@sanggafelizardo I knew someone was gonna say something like that. I agree with you. I have seen, either in person or in videos, alot of non traditional pets that become affectionate towards humans. That's why I specified. I wrote, "I have not seen the level". Again, in my understanding and observation, other species simply don't come close to dogs' natural desire to win the approval of humans and have a relationship with them.
@ActaNonVerba71 Talents differ. Some men can become doctors, some men can become laborers. A doctor's life is not higher than a laborers. The poor cow cannot show her emotion and is not likable to humans, but it carry heavy loads, follow voice commands and routine tasks in the farm. A dog's life is not higher than a cow just because it posses some characterestics likable to humans. It's a matter of choice. Some humans eat cows, so why can't some human chose to eat dogs.
Walang problema dun... kinaldereta ng uncle ko ang aso ng kapatid ko ang sarap nga eh isang linggo kong ulam yun... iniisip ko nga kung anu lasa ng poodle, doberman at kung anu anu pang imported na lahi ng aso...
People are not the same. Some Americans eat beef. Some Filipinos eat dog meat. To those Dog advocates I say unto you, leave them alone, it's their dog not yours.
yes I think it's a double standard but I think the animals should be bred to be ate not just a pet dog, for example I like pork but if I had a micro pig as a pet I wouldn't eat it, it's been bred to be a pet, all animals should be treated humainly so no cramed into cages whether it be a dog or a chicken and finally I wouldn't eat a puppy or kitten but I also don't eat veal (basicly no baby animals) so I don't think i'm a hypocryte there, glad to see someone else thaught about it.
@gerberbaby281 Not to hurt your feelings but if you ask me what I think, People who eat pork or any other meat while judging others who eat dog meat are hypocrites. Pigs can be pets too, smarter than most animal with keener smell sensory and emotionally attached to their master, except they are not cute. It's not fair that dogs are chosen by some and elevated from the rest. It's a matter of choice and I'm a PROUD ILOCANO DESCENT who eat dog meat. No one can judge me except God.
I have an argument. I'm Filipino btw, just to get any biases out of the way. I personally would never eat a domestic dog or cat because these animals have a higher intelligence than the farm animals or beasts of burden we eat regularly. They're purpose for being pets is to be our friends and it shows. My dog is overjoyed when he sees me, he wants to play, he wants to sleep next to me, etc. All domestics dogs are capable of this love and for this reason I personally would never eat one regardles
We kill a million turkeys on thanksgiving. What it is to us if they kill a thousand doggie in their home land in a year.
Cows are god for hindus but food for us. Why can our pets not be food for Chinese if we eat someone else's god.
Just because dogs wag it's tail doesn't make it different from other animals, they can be food too. Cows plow fields, love their young and feel pain too.
So if you eat beef or pork you're a hypocrite to make an issue for those who eat doggie meat.
@gamhananalanka dogs wagging their tails, I would say, is a reason not to eat them. This is showing signs of affection. Dogs are capable of showing emotion, more so than many other animals out there. That's why they are pets, and not tomorrow lunch. I could never eat an animal that is capable of this kind of love.
Filipinos are courageous to speak up for their principles. They'd rather be right for themselves than popular. Chinese people just roll over and allowed themselves to be maligned by others. Filipinos maybe poor. But they are not cowards.
@FLYCKTable Nope, you got a disturbed mind. If you swallow beef burger at Mc Donalds then what is it to you if some people in their own land eat dog meat?
Just because dogs lick your face doesn't make them different than cows who plow fields, care for their youngs and cry in pain. Use your head dude.
In the same way Hindus in provincial India were shocked to see how weird Americans are eating the HOLY COW burgers at MacDonald in Bombie.
People are not the same and only idiots would think that their beliefs are superior to others. Rich or poor, a nation must be left alone for their own choices in their own land free from humiliation and harrasment by stupid animal activists.
Well, I do kinda understand your comment about the double standards.. however, I am a vegan and dont eat cows, fish etc.. I dont agree with cruel factory farming & inhumain slaughter that happens to our meat.. This includes dogs! I dont think its ok to torture any creature that can feel fear and pain. I know everyone is different, some are pro cruelty.. I am against it.. Thats just how I feel!
@MissShow Since you don't eat any animal I give you some credit for not being a hypocrite who swallow beef burger while condeming people who eat dog meat.
Nevertheless I disagree that we should be eating animals. The law of nature cannot be suppressed. You can convince half of USA not to eat animals but bigger predators will always eat samller ones, that's how nature has been set up. Vegan doctors tell you one thing but feel for yourself the naurishment of a balanced diet compa
@emanueldedios Unfortunately you are right. people will always eat meat, fact.. Its the methods of slaughter & the treatment that disturbs me most, I dont agree with the torture. My vegan diet is incredibly healthy, much more so than someone eating hamburgers etc, cows milk contains a growth hormone not for humans, so I feel great myself, but everyone makes their own choices, & I do try to respect that (except the acts of cruelty) if slaughter was kinder, I might accept it better.
@MissShowTheTruth Precisely. We don't own the world and all we can hope for is the next best thing for others.
The Vatican people finds it repulsive that US/some Europe countries fund and encourage murder of unborn babies as part of the woman's liberty. But it cannot impose it's will on Americans. That how the world works. People are different and unless it's as gruesome as genocide we cannot force our will on others.
@MissShowTheTruth yes, exactly. A dog can feel emotions other animals cannot. When I adopted my dog, I saw him turn from a helpless looking creature to a pet that's so full of joy, everyone is happy when he is around. It was quite an emotional exp for me when I adopted this dog. I would never consider eating one.
@gerberbaby281 We are just conditioned to think that dogs are special. But Cows recognize voice command of it's master such as "stop, go" etc. It cares for their young and cry when feeling pain too. Just because the poor cow cannot express her emotion doesn't make it a lesser animal than a dog. Cows built roads and carry heavy loads. Pigs are smart and emotional as well if only given the chance to associate with humans. All animals are of equal value, it's a matter of choice.
@TheGladysbolong@bfernandez01. If cruelty is the issue that can be addressed by requiring that dogs be slaughtered exactly the same way that Pigs and cows that you eat are slaughtered.
Just because the poor cow or pig don't lick your face doesn't unfairly made them inferior to dogs. Cows plow fields and pigs are smarter and can be useful if only given the chance.
If you eat pork or beef it is hypocrisy that other people are not allowed to raise dogs for food.
I dont like this Mikey..You shouldnt be proud on eating dog meat. They are domesticated animals not liek cows and pigs.. nvertheless, I dont agree in this whole eating dog thing.. so sad about this video of yours.:(
Hi mikey. Are you aware of how the dogs were slaughtered? Or where did they got the dog? it's illegal here in Philippines to farm dogs, most of the dog meat, if not all, are stray dogs... Treated with inhumane cruelty... Unlike most cows or chickens or pigs who are farmed. Feel so bad with this vid. Kinda disappointing.. Well.. Enjoy your next dog meal. If there is a person who supports the dog meat industry, it will not stop, and cruelty will not too.
@TheGladysbolong : I agree on what you said. I really pity those dogs who are abused and treated with cruelty. I have seen my neighbors dog killed and I was crying like hell
@emanueldedios Bayan KMU? ahhhhh... now it makes sense. You probably belong to those groups who go rally every time like it's their job. lol well, good luck to them.
The present Criminal Law banning dog eating has been studied by lawyers. It is bordering on the question of equal protection, i.e. the right of dog eaters are equal to the right of pig and other animnal eaters. So singling out dog eaters is a violation of the priciple of equal application of law. That law maybe challenged someday.
Filipinos now are starting to wake up. When Youtube started in 2007 no single Filipino would stand to defend his culture but instead treacherously condemn it just to fit in with US culture.Today you can fine several Filipinos fighting back to defend the unjust an arrogant criticism. We are still a minority but we are a growing number. Even white people here in Youtube made videos eating dog meat to recognize cultural variance. Someday we go home to put a stand where others failed.
@emanueldedios This will also fail (eating dog), sorry to burst your bubble. I am a proud Filipino but the dog eating will not continue. sorry bud. lol
Many Filipinos including myself grow up pasturing a Carabao and we feel emotional attachment to them. They don't wag their tail or lick our face but they recognize our voice command and get excited to see us coming to bring them to pasture. So I would have been glad to ban Carabao meat. But I understand that my belief is not shared by everyone. I cannot force upon all people not to eat Carabao just because I see them in my own way. Dog advocates must learn to respect others.
All animals can pose danger, mad cow disease, foot and mouth disease, Salmonilia, Rabies etc. You cannot address this by banning Pork or Beef or chicken meat but by improvment on sanitary requirements. If the dog Industry is legalized and regulated and subjecterd to sanitary requirements then it will eleminate Rabies as a problem. Rabies is even more dangrerous when people illegally eat stray dogs.
@Thersch Sorry, I take this back. because you are not gonna get gold in this one. Filipinos are getting more and more attached to their beloved pets and realizing its WRONG to eat dogs. I dont see more people saying "oh yeah, im a proud Filipino so im gonna eat dog" lol
@emanueldedios wow, if the dog industry? I think you are one of those people that profits from dog meat. there's not going to be a dog industry (meat wise) dude. that's a wishful thinking. Illegally, yes, might be, but it wont be legalize. Majority of the Filipinos dont eat dog meat. point blank period
@Thersch YOu don't understand. I'm not a businessman nor I am promoting for dog meat industry. I'm only trying to defend the right of some Filipinos to be free to practice their culture from harrasment by traitor Filipinos and foriegn animal groups. If they decide to stop eating dog meat on their own so much the better. But SIRUS, PETA, etc. bribing our senate to criminalize a culture is just outrarageous. This people with no internet access needs to be heard. We will fight for them. Very soon.
@emanueldedios lol... So, Filipinos that doesnt support your cause of dog eating are traitors now? dude, seriously? get a grip. and yes, TO ME, you sure do sound like promoting dog meat industry. I think your real issue is pride. Im a prideful person myself (Filipinos are known for that) but this topic, is nothing to be proud of. Do you have proofs that the senate are being bribed? Again, its not a culture dude, its more of a necessity than anything else.
I lived in the Philippines for 26 years and I personally think it's NOT right to eat dogs. Yes, they are animals but we dont eat EVERY SINGLE animal. and thats just 1 of the reasons why i dont think its a double standard. My american friends ask me about this topic and I just tell them its because we are a poor country and these people that eat them are prolly just not educated and poor and would just eat what they can have.I didnt know they were actually selling dog meat- that is just wrong!
@Thersch Our Indon and Malay Ancestors domesticated dogs as farm guards and as for food. American colonialization deminished the practice except in the NOrthern regions. Presently an estimated 40% of Filipinos eat dog meat by reason of Poverty, Tradition or Taste. It is part of our culture. Cows don't wag it's tail but it plow fields. EVery animal has its own value and they are equal. Dogs are not unfairly special, they can be food too and there is nothing wrong with it.
@emanueldedios I would like to know where you got your stat of 40%. I value ur opinion, if you think dogs are nor unfairly special, thats ur opinion. To me, they are. I would not say it (dog eating) is a Filipino Tradition. Minority of the people may be doing it for whatever reason but I dont think it is a Filipino Tradition. It's more of a necessity than anything else. Like if they were given other food to eat, i bet they'd rather eat something else than dog.
@Thersch and even if 40% eat dog, it doesnt necessarily mean its ok.Like Japanese killing whales and dolphins, or Like in Africa, they burn people alive if they suspect them of witchcraft etc. these are common practices in their countries but doesnt mean its right. To me, it boils down to one thing, the Philippines being a poor country. These people eat dogs because of poverty and they dont know any better.
and you are right, Every animal has its own value. and TO ME and alot of other people - Dogs are not for food. Dogs value to me is like a member of my family. They are mans best friend, loyal companion and not food. and THATs my opinion about them.
@Thersch Taming Philippines by Felix Kessing a codification of written and oral history originally published in the 1930's traces dog eating as a Filipino tradtion back to our INdon and Malay ancestors.
During Senate Hearing on a Tyranical Law criminalizing dog eating it was stipulated by both sides that the Social Weather estimate of 40% present Filipino dog eater is more or less accurate, the reason reecognized were Poverty, Tradition or Taste. Sen. Magsaysay sought exemption for NOrthern re
@Thersc If you love to munch on beef or pork or chicken adobo every morning while you condemn people who eat dog meat then you are a hypocrite, don't you think.
Cows plow fields, love their young and they feel pain too. Just because they are not cute or don't lick your face doesn't meant they are unfairly lessern animal than dogs.
If you are a vegetarian that's your choice but you also have to respect other people's choices. Eating dog meat is not like cannibalism, dogs is an animal like cow
@emanueldedios well, that's assuming of you to tell me what I love to eat or not, you don't know me. And yes, I am a vegetarian for health reasons. And even if I'm not,that wouldn't mean I'm hypocrite.again, my opinion stand, not every single animal can be eaten. And by the way, don't put words in my mouth. I am not condemning anybody.if anything, I wish these people gets educated about this issue.
@Thersch The word "IF" categorize the sentence so it doesn't specifically refer to you but only if you do the act described therein (eating pork while CONDEMNING dog eater as barbaric etc).
Voicing your opion is not what we are up against but the arrogant imposition and unfair name calling by Ignorant Activists.
I wish you'll get educated about this issue to understand that there are different people and different cultures in this world and no one is inferior or superior to the others.
@emanueldedios I am very much educated, thank you very much. We just have to agree to disagree. My opinion stands. And besides, it is illegal to eat dogs in a lot of places jn the Philippines like Manila. There's a law against it, hence making it wrong.
@Thersch Not all Legal are moral. Possession of small caliber fire arm are only wrong when there's a law punishing it but it is not inherently evil unlike murder, wrong even with no law punishing it.
Criminalizing dog Eating is a Tyrannical Oppressive Law that illegalize a custom of a people who are entitled to be free. If some people can raise cows and pigs why should other not allowed to raise dogs for food? There is no substantial distinction between dogs and the rest of the animals
@emanueldedios well,law is a law and its there fora reason. I don't believe 40% eat dogs because not one that I know eat dogs. Besides, again, if these people has the option of having a pork or chicken instead of dogs, I'm sure they will take it.It all boils down to necessity than wants. And time is evolving, more Filipino's are loving their pets more and more. I even saw a news recently of how this family in cagayan saved "bantay". It's gonne get better
@Thersch Laws are made for the wrong reasons sometimes. Hitler and Marcos made laws that legitimize human rights abuses. The resistance to the Tyranaical dog eating ban is not getting traction because politicians want to be aligned with American culture, except one, the ever brave and pro poor Ramon Magsaysay Jr.
Whether it is due to Poverty, taste or tradition Filipinos who chose to eat dog meat must be accorded their right of choice free from harrasment. One day Filipinos will wake up
@emanueldedios only a few number of people eat dogs and, like it or not, more n more people r realizing its not right 2 do so. So I think Filipinos r waking up right now.Good luck on your cry about freedom to eating dogs.lol There's a number of reasns why they r not allowing people 2 eat dogs and one of them is rabies.I have seen news about some bastards inhumanely gather dogs,pack them in a little cage 2 sell for profit.No animal, not dogs, cow, or what have you deserves to be treated like that
@Thersch Since you seem to be the lesser evil as compared to your foul mouthed arrogant comrades in the dog advocacy lets discuss on why Filipinos should stop eating dog meat. Give me one reason at a time and we will debate on it.
@emanueldedios You apparently have issues about people that supports no to eating dogs. lol I will not debate you any longer because you're only one of the FEW people that eats dogs. Again, Filipino's are waking up and they are more leaning towards loving their pets more and more, they are understanding the value of pets more and more and that it's better for these dogs to be a companion than a food in the table. Good luck on your cry, there are few of you and it will remain that way. :)
@emanueldedios I can give you alot of reasons but the best reason, i dont think you would ever understand. Its how the dogs can heal a lot of emotional problems. They relieve stress, they make people happy, they love unconditionally. These benefits obviously you have not experience from a dog. I would like to say I wish you would but then again, that means you have to have a dog to experience these but I wont suggest you get one because it may end up in your dining table. lol too bad.
@Thersch If you're ended an educated person as you claim then you know that you cannot just tell people to stop believing just because their beliefs is inconsistent with yours. YOu must convince them with reason.
Your thoughts are scattered so let's organize them. You give two reasons. One Rabbis. Two Personal experience of attachment. Let me give my view on them one by one.
@emanueldedios I don't really care about your views,as you don't care about mine I would assume. So up to you if you want to use your time typing, but it would be useless to me. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year! Wag na masyadong mainit ang ulo. Lol
I've no problem with Dog Meat as I've had it in Panama, South Korea as well as Philippines. Just another link in the food chain as far as I'm concerned. Monkey is pretty good too [Panama and Philippines] so for me, no big thing. Love Balut! I'm just a guy who belongs to the other PETA [People Eating Tasty Animals]. Mabuhay Mikey!
How is a Dog life higher than a Cow. These dog activists are crazy. Luckily some respectable Filipinos like Miky Bustos can get our points heard. Most of us don't have internet access.
Cows feel pain too and love their youngs and just because they are not cute it doesn't mean their lives are lower than dogs. It's about choices. If you eat one animal then why stop other people from eating other animals. We have different choices.
@Frzenflme Correct. Humans are part of the food chain in the eyes of predators. To the human eyes all animals not harmful and none human are also part of the food chain. It's a matter of choice.
Well the only thing I wanted to ask is why do people compare exotic meat to chicken LOL!
Monitor Lizard(Bayawak), Python(Sawa), Rabbit Meat and Even Frog meat is compared to chicken. And when they eat chicken they won't say it tastes like frog, monitor lizard, rabbit or python meat. And really I already tasted those kind of meat and the don't really taste like chicken
i can eat a cat bec i don't care for them but not a dog. i see them as more than pets, they're man's best friends. some of the people here who eat dog will catch a stray dog that an owner owns & eat it just for the sake of it. i think i can eat most of anything including snake except dog, worms, live animals & insects.
Dog meat/dog eating is not common in the Philippines & it's also illegal... but there are a few natives/local allowed to slaughter/ eat them cause it is part of their tradition/culture (Animal Welfare Act 1998 of the Philippines, prohibits the killing of any animal other than cattle, pigs, goats, sheep, poultry, rabbits, carabaos, horses, deer and crocodiles, with exemptions for religious, cultural, research, public safety or animal health reasons).. Well, obviously the law is not followed..
@paga The Hypocrite Law banning dog eating in the Philippines was a result of bribery made by Ellie Maynard a New Zealand dog activist founder of SIRUS. Historically the Indon and Malay who became Filipinos domesticated dogs as farm guards and meat source for 6000 years. The northerners are still big on this. In the central and southern parts an estimated 40% of Filipinos eat dog meat for reasons of Poverty, Tradition or Taste. The Hypocrite Law has been openly defied.
the whole concept is just similar to getting married to your cousins and how it's totally appropriate in eastern countries and societies! it's all about the traditions and the mental state!
for example I personally can not stand eating kangaroos burger or such which is acceptable in lots of places!
@amir4barca i think that's different though. the reason there is that taboo of marrying close relatives is bec it raises more possible defects or hampers the improvement of the species. nature thrives on differentiation. it's the same with genes, the bigger the genepool, the better the offspring will be bec nature will choose the best genes from that pool. but if you have a small genepool bec you're siblings, then the choice becomes smaller & risks bad genes to get passed to your offspring
It's just a mental state. Hindus are repulsed to think Sacred Cows are eaten. But what's the difference. Dogs wag it's tail alright but does that makes them higher animals than cows? Cows don't wag their tails but they pull heavy loads, why are they inferior to dogs?
Some people must learn to respect others. Live and let live.
yeah..its preference,. so no one can say its not right to eat something…i guess?!.. anyway., for me., i won't eat something that i had as a pet..:D so NO., i won't eat dog!..
But bro i understand its good and its meat and all, i personally dont like dogs but i consider dogs to like pigs because they eat almost everything...
Lol we call those bugs abal-abal, as a kid I used to keep them as pets by breaking all their legs and tying the bug up and letting them fly around (I know it was mean) or we would fry them and eat them. Very popular dish at our place after it rains, we'd go out and shake trees and catch them. Yum yum. I don't know if I'd actually eaten dogs but my parents have, but I have eaten alligators...
My God, Finally I found one Filipino American who posses the courage to stand for his own beliefs. Most Filipino Americans would conveniently condemn the practice just to avoid harsh criticism.
An estimated 40% of Filipinos eat dog meat for reasons of tradition, taste or poverty and a higher percentage in the Northern Regions.
There are reasons for all sides. No need for harsh words, people are not the same. Respect each others choices.
As a filipino don't you hate it when people instantly think you eat "Black dog", Where did black dog come from?? Hindi natin pinipili ang kulay ng aso we eat all! YAY!!, ugh chinese people eat dog as well -.- why is it only filipinos that are known to eat it , oh i don't eat dog =S
Point taken Mikey. very well said.... it's an unpopular logic really, but i appreciate it nonetheless. at the end of the day, we ought to respect each other's preferences (as I am largely pihikan to food.. i don't even eat goat). :)
I believe that any animal that is to be used for food should be treated well and killed humainly, with respect for its purpose. I agree that what is ok for one type of animal is ok for all types. Humans have all kinds of knowledge and ability to raise animals and need to use our heart to treat then fairly and kindly in the process.
my family in the philippines are against eating dogs...they have dogs as pets..not for eating...
I also have a golden retriever...i think if i would have a cow as a pet..i wouldnt eat beef...
And balut...hm...i havent tried it....once, in the philippines, i wanted to make pancake and almost used a balut (havent known this thing before)...my tita stopped me... i think if i had opened it - expecting a raw egg inside - and a foetal duck would have dropped into the flour, i woulnt eat eggs anymore
One negative to eating dog is that dogs are adaptable carnivores (and usually scavangers), rather than herbivores (eat em up yum!), like cows, adaptable herbivores, like goats, or even true omnivores, like pigs. Usually (and dogs may be the exception) carniverous mammals don't taste very good.
In most cases, though, the resistance is truly cultural: for westerners dogs are pets, not food.
@merpius Actually, dogs do taste good. I've had it before, and it was one of the most tender meat I'd ever had. However, just as most delicious foods are bad for you, dog meat is considered unhealthy. I do not remember the exact reason, but I think it had something to do with high fat content or something.
@merpius I mean it really has to do with personal tastes though, some people find even lobsters and beef disgusting, so. ie. I consider eggnog to be one of the nastiest things that people willingly gulp down, yet my ex roommate absolutely loves it.
my roots also came from tuguegarao and i had the chance to eat the beetle they call it asimawa(i hope i spelled it right) its an aquired taste for some... for me its just crispy and chewy at the same time... =)
first of all, having dog meat is not like having steak. for what i know, dog is only served during special occasions and eaten as a "pulutan" i myself haven't tried dog yet and will never try to eat. although i have eaten cricket and that one of my favorite meal as a child.
so umm im korean, and i never ate a dog before, but i asked my dad why we eat dogs, and he said theres a certain breed of dog that we eat. just like fish, we have some that are for pets and some for food. do filipinos eat all kinds of dogs or what?
Actually,my uncles and cousins makes it a regular "PULUTAN" . I actually never tasted it....although they said it tastes like normal food like beef, etc.
But I recommend you try the "SALAGUBANG" fry it and dip it in vinegar with ginger and pepper...
Try eating frogs,too. but don't eat what they call "KARAG" because they said its poisonous....
try eating what they call "FAKE FROG",actually i didn't really knw why they call it fake.......
Before, we don't have yet a law on animal cruelty like today. In some "barrios" or countryside, they allows locals to slaughter stray dogs or "askals" for "pulutan". I've eaten a adobong dog when I was a kid ... and it was good. In fact it was our "nasty" pet dog then, and I think my late dad ordered our helpers to slaughter it because of "bad behavior". He also eats "dog /s" on occasion.. In fact, I have seen that dog being tortured 'till it died, then roasted (like lechon).
I don't find it "pityful" then cuz I find its just the same as seeing pigs or chickens being butchered. Now, whenever I recall it, I find it so pathetic and pityful, that's why I never eat dogs anymore. I don't want seeing dogs being abused or killed and it really breaks my heart.
By the way Mikey, have you tried CAMARO or locusts? It is actually a delicacy in pampanga. Locals caught it along the ricefields, cuz they are pests. I've seen it but never tried to eat it ... ayoko lang (hehehe). They said it is good, and comonly served as adobong CAMARO. Thanks and good vibes to everyone!!! ;)
Grasshoppers are good too :-)...but dogs? ummm a big NO NO...I saw one video before about eating dog's meat and they found worms in the dog's meat and brain...I know I can eat dog's meat if I want to but for the sake of my relationship with this kind of animal, I won't do it.
haha cge kain ka mikey ng salagubang-->tagalog for beetle :)
well about dogs, di pa ko nakakakain nun...i mean di pa talaga ako nakakakita ng dish na hinanda na aso..so di ko pa talaga masabi kong kumakain ba ako nun o hindi...pero open minded naman ako and yeah..kung mga cow and etc nga kinakain natin, what's the difference..dba?? :)
mga common na kumakain ng dogs sa amin is mga tambay...ginagawa nilang pulutan...pero wala sa palengke namin yun...
Hey mikey.. Jet here man.. I used to live in baguio city. Up north. I love dog meat. And i love dogs as well for pets. The dish that you've tried is definitely adobong aso. You should try other dog dishes too.. I know a restaurant in baguio that serves good dog meat. So if ever you're in the philippines,look me up. I'll even let you have the bayawak dish. Find me on facebook.. Jet C. Chua. More power man. God bless!
"I don't eat meat. I'm not a carnival" -Melanie Marquez. ^.^
LOL.
Anyway, I personally don't eat dog (I grew up in the Philippines - in the city- so its not common at all) and I was informed that it tasted like chicken (not beef but w/e-not that it matters ^.^). But I don't necessarily think its gross.I so get you though, they say its gross when they eat chicken, lobster, crab, fish, cow and/or pig.
you know dogs can smell dogeaters, they know if you ate their kind, when i was little I was able to sample dog meat, and up to now i regret it, i love dogs, i love cats, i treat them like family members, an actual person, so for me, i really hate the idea of dogs being eaten (or any other pets).
Every culture in the world has at one time or another considered dog a delicacy or everyday meal. Although its more prominent in Eastern Asia right now. Most people these days are so removed from where meat comes from and what it is. If you think its cruel to eat dog, what differentiates a dog from any other animal? Meat is Meat.
I am not "judging" culture its just my opinion or perspective on animals being mistreated and not respected for what they are. And actually I might love the Philippine culture as one most in the world. Yes all my animals do roam happy & free on several acres goats, chickens etc. I disagree with the way we treat animals here in america to. Smarter than Mikey? Come on dude this is a big boy conversation purples. I'm one of the most open minded people you could ever met. Miles Gomis on Faceboook
@mias6000 I do wonder where you are from to be able to just judge somebody elses culture. It is just the same for a vegetarian despising eating meat for what he believes in.
I don't like eating dogs, I find it gross but I totally respect your opinion. You actually have good logic too! I mean seriously, if we can eat a cute little porky, then why not eat a stray dog? Haha. ^_^
@MikeyBustosVideos Obviously we both dont know the exact answer to this controversial subject. Even if fish do have nociceptors (one of the many sensory nerve receptors we have that we have that designated to sensing pain) doesnt mean they are in use..... or maybe a fishes brain doesnt have the capability to understand or analyze what it is feeling so thats why it doesnt respond adversely.
Just having nociceptors isnt enough to prove that they sense pain, it could be a reflex to a change in sensation (temperature, pressure,vibration, or chemicals). Because if that were true then the diabetic patient with neuropathy that still have nociceptors wouldnt be able to get a bedside amputation with no anesthesia. The pain receptors are still there but they dont function the same, now they might feel pressure because thats a different type of sensory nerve.
Lobster brains are not capable of interpreting pain like you do, they dont have in increase in their respiratory rate or tachycardia when they are in pain. That kind of response must come from a more complex nervous system and brain that can feel pain and have emotion like a dog or humans. Can a fish cry? well i believe that they can't feel pain either and if they can feel pain it's not significant enough to consider because of that lack of reaction.
The "TRUTH" is...... that it's very clear the huge difference between a fishes response to dying and a dogs response to dying. Right? And the difference between a goats level of intelligence and a dogs. Right?
Well why would you disrespect or disregard this level of intellect and still eat dogs? You said you draw the line with humans but why?? Cause we are more intelligent? Think about it..... Cannibalism is just a word that was created to as standard of meaning when a species eats its own. Were talking about eating any type of animal or meat and if intelligence or purpose are relevant and play a role in deciding whether to eat it or not.
Why couldn't we eat humans if you forget about the word cannibalism? Because its wrong ? Well who decides that? My heart tells me that its wrong because it is not necessary and it doesnt show respect for the intelligence and purpose of the species. Thats why we dont eat humans because of respect and we sense and know its wrong because of our own intelligence ( note, which is way overrated) Their is an intelligence difference between a fish, chicken, goat, dog, and human, right?
IF IT FEELS WRONG, ITS BECAUSE IT IS WRONG. RIGHT?...go with how it makes you "FEEL"? These are your words not mine. Dogs just are not meant to be a harvesting animal. Chickens, goats, pigs, and cows are happy out in the field by themselves. But how they treat the dogs before hand is even more wrong than eating them! They show NO respect.....ruthless savages. (one could all most consider it until you see how terribly they are treated, they disrespect "LIFE")
@mias6000 I don't think any of the chickens, goats, pigs and cows that you eat are "happy out in the field by themselves". lol. they are cooped up in tiny cages, chicken's beaks are cut off when young so they wont hurt one another, and i am not curious about what they do with other animals. Just eat and be a good person. because you are alive because someone gave up their life for you. Not you "you", but you, as in general kind of "you".
@mias6000@mias6000 *clap* *clap* *clap* Cool story bro! If you can't respect cultural differences, then don't. Just unsubscribe and don't waste your time writing an essay, it doesn't make you seem smarter than Mikey. You simply sound like an ignorant close-minded person.
actually what i know about filipino eating dog.. is that they don't eat breeded dogs they eat what they call "asong gala" lol well i experienced eating one when i was in the philippines ate once coz i knew it was a dog and i love dogs.
I don't personally eat dog because it is for me belongs to exotic food... Very exotic food... hehehehe... But if somebody will eat my pet dog, I'll kill him!!! :P
I don't like to experiment that much when it comes to food because food is very essential for our survival and I'm afraid that it may have a bad effect to my body... So, I'll just stick to what I know is very edible or something... :)
I don't mind if a person eat dog since our taste buds differ from one person to another... :)
i remember when i was 4 or 6 . theirs a group of people which is Igorot as they called them, they cook a dog like a pig ... and i do have picture of it grilling the dog, I Don't Have much strength to EAT IT coz i know it's a DOG and here is the another one . i've tried to eat just ONCE a BAYAWAK (The Panay monitor lizard) , and i can't eat it becoz of it chewy meat.. now the bayawak is endangered species.
Try Fried Frogs! I cant eat chicken because of allergies, then i discovered that im not allergic to amphibians, they tasted very much like chicken. ^___^
UNSUBSCRIBE?????!!!!! EVER TRIED HUMAN BEFORE......HEY JUST BECAUSE THEY ARE MORE INTELLIGENT THAN DOGS DOESNT MEAN WE CANT EAT THEM. WHERE IS THE LINE DRAWN? MAYBE HOOVED ANIMALS? NOTE LOBSTER/FISH DONT HAVE PAIN RECEPTORS SO THEY CAN ONLY FEEL PRESSURE CHANGES THATS WHY THEY DONT FREAK OUT WHEN YOU COOK THEM ALIVE. THE 1ST ISSUE IS HOW AN ANIMAL IS TREATED BEFORE ITS SLAUGHTER. DO YOU THINK THEY RESPECT THE ANIMALS?? ARE YOU THANKFUL AND APPRECIATIVE OF ANOTHER ANIMAL GIVING YOU ENERGY TO LIVE
@mias6000 Actually, lobster and fish do have pain receptors. Fish have a fully functional nervous system and brain. Lobsters and other arthropods also have fully functional nervous systems, predominantly composed of a network of nervous cells called ganglia, my friend. They do feel pain. Also, cannibalism and carnivorousness are not the same thing and are very different. I would draw the line at cannibalism.
@MikeyBustosVideos mias, it is true that every living things have pain receptors. But there's a different kind of pain that humans have that other animals might not have. It's the pain that we feel when we see someone die, the pain we feel when we get broken-hearted, the pain of failing an exam, etc. That kind of pain is what is being debated on. So people think that dogs and cats feel pain like we do, like they get sad when owner goes on vacation, so they think it's not good to eat dogs
BAck in my home in the philipines my lolo would get a stick with a hook at the end and shake a tree with it then after like 10 seconds of shaking lots of salagubang will fall off and he gives it to me and my cousin as pets MY cousin cuts half the inside of their wings tho so they couldnt fly (doesnt hurt them)

The problem is that dogs move their tail when they see you (most of them). Other animals don't do that. So eating a dog is like eating your best friend or someone you care and love...If I had to kill animals with my own hands in oder to survive I think I'd become a vegetarian.

@Virgiecatorce You are just conditioned to think that dogs are special. Cows plow fields, carry heavy loads, obey voice command, love and care for it's young, feel pain and just because it cannot show emotion doesn't make it an inferior animal to dogs. Animals have their own traits. All animal life are equal. It's a matter of choice. If you can chose to eat a cow/beef then why can't some people chose to eat a dog?

Let me first acknowledge that I am not an expert regarding animal history. But, it is my observation and impression that (non wild) dogs have a uniqueness in that they were bred from the start to be companions to human. Not just to live alongside humans or as a human food source but to be actual companions. I have not seen the level of natural inclination to win the approval of humans and to have relationships with them in other animals like I have in dogs.

@ActaNon When pigs are confined in the pigpen they don't have the chance to show how emotional they are. But in some instances were pigs are treated like pets, you'll be surprised how a pig can emotionally attach to humans more than a dog. Of course pigs are not cute but they do lick your face and rub your foot. They recognize voice command and can perform tasks. Some farmers even expiremented with them to drive cattles, they can do but they are slow so not as efficient as dogs.

A dog's life is not higher than a cow just because it posses some characterestics likable to humans. It's a matter of choice. Some humans eat cows, so why can't some human chose to eat dogs.

yes I think it's a double standard but I think the animals should be bred to be ate not just a pet dog, for example I like pork but if I had a micro pig as a pet I wouldn't eat it, it's been bred to be a pet, all animals should be treated humainly so no cramed into cages whether it be a dog or a chicken and finally I wouldn't eat a puppy or kitten but I also don't eat veal (basicly no baby animals) so I don't think i'm a hypocryte there, glad to see someone else thaught about it.

Just because dogs wag it's tail doesn't make it different from other animals, they can be food too. Cows plow fields, love their young and feel pain too.
So if you eat beef or pork you're a hypocrite to make an issue for those who eat doggie meat.

@gamhananalanka dogs wagging their tails, I would say, is a reason not to eat them. This is showing signs of affection. Dogs are capable of showing emotion, more so than many other animals out there. That's why they are pets, and not tomorrow lunch. I could never eat an animal that is capable of this kind of love.

I've no problem with Dog Meat as I've had it in Panama, South Korea as well as Philippines. Just another link in the food chain as far as I'm concerned. Monkey is pretty good too [Panama and Philippines] so for me, no big thing. Love Balut! I'm just a guy who belongs to the other PETA [People Eating Tasty Animals]. Mabuhay Mikey!

How is a Dog life higher than a Cow. These dog activists are crazy. Luckily some respectable Filipinos like Miky Bustos can get our points heard. Most of us don't have internet access.
Cows feel pain too and love their youngs and just because they are not cute it doesn't mean their lives are lower than dogs. It's about choices. If you eat one animal then why stop other people from eating other animals. We have different choices.

Well the only thing I wanted to ask is why do people compare exotic meat to chicken LOL!
Monitor Lizard(Bayawak), Python(Sawa), Rabbit Meat and Even Frog meat is compared to chicken. And when they eat chicken they won't say it tastes like frog, monitor lizard, rabbit or python meat. And really I already tasted those kind of meat and the don't really taste like chicken

Dog meat/dog eating is not common in the Philippines & it's also illegal... but there are a few natives/local allowed to slaughter/ eat them cause it is part of their tradition/culture (Animal Welfare Act 1998 of the Philippines, prohibits the killing of any animal other than cattle, pigs, goats, sheep, poultry, rabbits, carabaos, horses, deer and crocodiles, with exemptions for religious, cultural, research, public safety or animal health reasons).. Well, obviously the law is not followed..

@paga The Hypocrite Law banning dog eating in the Philippines was a result of bribery made by Ellie Maynard a New Zealand dog activist founder of SIRUS. Historically the Indon and Malay who became Filipinos domesticated dogs as farm guards and meat source for 6000 years. The northerners are still big on this. In the central and southern parts an estimated 40% of Filipinos eat dog meat for reasons of Poverty, Tradition or Taste. The Hypocrite Law has been openly defied.

amir4barca 2 months ago
@amir4barca i think that's different though. the reason there is that taboo of marrying close relatives is bec it raises more possible defects or hampers the improvement of the species. nature thrives on differentiation. it's the same with genes, the bigger the genepool, the better the offspring will be bec nature will choose the best genes from that pool. but if you have a small genepool bec you're siblings, then the choice becomes smaller & risks bad genes to get passed to your offspring

It's just a mental state. Hindus are repulsed to think Sacred Cows are eaten. But what's the difference. Dogs wag it's tail alright but does that makes them higher animals than cows? Cows don't wag their tails but they pull heavy loads, why are they inferior to dogs?
Some people must learn to respect others. Live and let live.

An estimated 40% of Filipinos eat dog meat for reasons of tradition, taste or poverty and a higher percentage in the Northern Regions.
There are reasons for all sides. No need for harsh words, people are not the same. Respect each others choices.

I believe that any animal that is to be used for food should be treated well and killed humainly, with respect for its purpose. I agree that what is ok for one type of animal is ok for all types. Humans have all kinds of knowledge and ability to raise animals and need to use our heart to treat then fairly and kindly in the process.

One negative to eating dog is that dogs are adaptable carnivores (and usually scavangers), rather than herbivores (eat em up yum!), like cows, adaptable herbivores, like goats, or even true omnivores, like pigs. Usually (and dogs may be the exception) carniverous mammals don't taste very good.
In most cases, though, the resistance is truly cultural: for westerners dogs are pets, not food.
merpius 5 months ago
@merpius Actually, dogs do taste good. I've had it before, and it was one of the most tender meat I'd ever had. However, just as most delicious foods are bad for you, dog meat is considered unhealthy. I do not remember the exact reason, but I think it had something to do with high fat content or something.

Before, we don't have yet a law on animal cruelty like today. In some "barrios" or countryside, they allows locals to slaughter stray dogs or "askals" for "pulutan". I've eaten a adobong dog when I was a kid ... and it was good. In fact it was our "nasty" pet dog then, and I think my late dad ordered our helpers to slaughter it because of "bad behavior". He also eats "dog /s" on occasion.. In fact, I have seen that dog being tortured 'till it died, then roasted (like lechon).

@MikeyBustosVideos Obviously we both dont know the exact answer to this controversial subject. Even if fish do have nociceptors (one of the many sensory nerve receptors we have that we have that designated to sensing pain) doesnt mean they are in use..... or maybe a fishes brain doesnt have the capability to understand or analyze what it is feeling so thats why it doesnt respond adversely.
mias6000 6 months ago
Just having nociceptors isnt enough to prove that they sense pain, it could be a reflex to a change in sensation (temperature, pressure,vibration, or chemicals). Because if that were true then the diabetic patient with neuropathy that still have nociceptors wouldnt be able to get a bedside amputation with no anesthesia. The pain receptors are still there but they dont function the same, now they might feel pressure because thats a different type of sensory nerve.

otiting123 6 months ago
Lobster brains are not capable of interpreting pain like you do, they dont have in increase in their respiratory rate or tachycardia when they are in pain. That kind of response must come from a more complex nervous system and brain that can feel pain and have emotion like a dog or humans. Can a fish cry? well i believe that they can't feel pain either and if they can feel pain it's not significant enough to consider because of that lack of reaction.
mias6000 6 months ago
The "TRUTH" is...... that it's very clear the huge difference between a fishes response to dying and a dogs response to dying. Right? And the difference between a goats level of intelligence and a dogs. Right?
mias6000 6 months ago
Well why would you disrespect or disregard this level of intellect and still eat dogs? You said you draw the line with humans but why?? Cause we are more intelligent? Think about it..... Cannibalism is just a word that was created to as standard of meaning when a species eats its own. Were talking about eating any type of animal or meat and if intelligence or purpose are relevant and play a role in deciding whether to eat it or not.
mias6000 6 months ago
Why couldn't we eat humans if you forget about the word cannibalism? Because its wrong ? Well who decides that? My heart tells me that its wrong because it is not necessary and it doesnt show respect for the intelligence and purpose of the species. Thats why we dont eat humans because of respect and we sense and know its wrong because of our own intelligence ( note, which is way overrated) Their is an intelligence difference between a fish, chicken, goat, dog, and human, right?

IF IT FEELS WRONG, ITS BECAUSE IT IS WRONG. RIGHT?...go with how it makes you "FEEL"? These are your words not mine. Dogs just are not meant to be a harvesting animal. Chickens, goats, pigs, and cows are happy out in the field by themselves. But how they treat the dogs before hand is even more wrong than eating them! They show NO respect.....ruthless savages.

@mias6000 I don't think any of the chickens, goats, pigs and cows that you eat are "happy out in the field by themselves". lol. they are cooped up in tiny cages, chicken's beaks are cut off when young so they wont hurt one another, and i am not curious about what they do with other animals. Just eat and be a good person. because you are alive because someone gave up their life for you. Not you "you", but you, as in general kind of "you".

@mias6000 Actually, lobster and fish do have pain receptors. Fish have a fully functional nervous system and brain. Lobsters and other arthropods also have fully functional nervous systems, predominantly composed of a network of nervous cells called ganglia, my friend. They do feel pain. Also, cannibalism and carnivorousness are not the same thing and are very different. I would draw the line at cannibalism.

@MikeyBustosVideos mias, it is true that every living things have pain receptors. But there's a different kind of pain that humans have that other animals might not have. It's the pain that we feel when we see someone die, the pain we feel when we get broken-hearted, the pain of failing an exam, etc. That kind of pain is what is being debated on. So people think that dogs and cats feel pain like we do, like they get sad when owner goes on vacation, so they think it's not good to eat dogs
