Oh really now, what does dog/cat taste i heard it has an aftertaste of the penis you ate.

[DustinHsiao]

Nah, lamb's penis tastes nothing like dog, which itself tastes completely different from cat. Dog and cat meat is actually really, really lean. Pretty sure they could sell it by pitching it as a healthy alternative to other meats.

I wonder how many new subscribers we've just managed to freak out... :P

Cheers,

Hmm I'm hungry for cat and dog, not sure why people are grossed out about it.... cows are pets in india, pigs are pets in egypt, birds well, lots of people have birds as pets and they are eaten =] oh and fish, well yea.

[DustinHsiao]

True, true. I guess what's right depends on where you are... :)

Cheers,

Really? I'm of Asian descent too and you're definitely missing out. Nothing better than some deepfried tabby-stuffed Rottweiler. Mmmm... Perfect for Thanksgiving.

Cheers,

Obama is black.

I agree that any person, regardless of difference from the norm deserves the same rights. :)

Homosexuals deserve the same rights.
