Tastes like chicken
February 1, 2010 by Chinatex
Y’all know that Chinatex is from Texas. Right down near the border in San Antone. Well, in Texas we like dogs and we have dogs everywhere. In fact, dogs are mans’ best friend. I don’t really agree with that one, but, i did have an old hound dog named Snoopy when i was a kid and he was a good old dog til he got run over by a car. So when i tell my friends back home that they really do eat dogs over here they can’t believe it and say things like “gross”, “that’s terrible”, “what does it taste like?” etc…. Then i have to explain that they are not eating the domestic dogs, that there actually is a dog farm, or lot’s of em, where they raise one kind of dog – just like cows – to be slaughtered and eaten. In Texas, we don’t believe in mistreating our animals, especially our dogs but the thought of raising dogs like chickens or cows or goats or sheep to be eaten doesn’t really bother me too much. In fact, Old Chinatex has eaten a little fried dog meat and it wasn’t so bad – although i don’t prefer it over good old Texas beef or barbecue. That leads me to my point. Y’all know that sometimes i can’t help but write about the interesting stuff that goes on over here in China, rather than boring legal mumbo jumbo. However, when a new law or proposed law is going to come out, i’m one of the first to let y’all know so that you can adjust your business accordingly. So, i was reading the paper today scanning for interesting information to share with y’all when i came across the following: ”Dog and cat meat – age old delicacies in China – could be off the menu in the food-loving nation under its first law against animal cruelty”. ”People who eat either animal, both of which are viewed as promoting bodily warmth” (i can think of other more pleasant things that promote bodily warmth), “could face fines of up to 5,000 RMB (US $730) and up to 15 days in jail if the law is passed”. I’ll keep you posted on the progress of this law, cause i wouldn’t want any of you having to call me from the local jail for mistakenly eating some dog meat. By the way, it doesn’t taste like chicken. As always, yeeha!! Chinatex
