Filipinos like their dog meat


His shocking menu is where half million dogs a year end up after being snatched off the streets and illegally killed in the Philippines.

After being trussed, muzzled with rusty cans and slaughtered, they end up in restaurants which flout the law to satisfy the growing taste for dog meat.

Customers dine on dog’s head, considered a delicacy, for the equivalent of $3.75.

A dish of dog liver costs about $2.75 while a particular favourite, deep fried paws, are just $1.25.

Bars serve dog meat snacks known as “pulutan” with drinks just as British pub-goers might enjoy a bag of crisps. The grisly trade flourishes in the north where there is a long tradition of eating dog meat despite warnings from the authorities about the dangers to health and the introduction of jail terms for dog meat traders.

I always used to wonder what my mother's caregiver used to bring for lunch. Damn I hope she didn't give any to mom. That stuff ain't kosher.
