Cops collar Russian punting dog dressed as lamb

[FarCenter]

Police in the Russian city of Orlov have detained a 50-year-old Kursk businessman en route to Moscow with a bootload of "dressed mutton" - actually 15 skinned dog carcasses destined for Moscow eateries. Officials from the Federal Service for Veterinary and Phytosanitary Surveillance, aka Rosselkhoznadzor, said the mutt-trafficking cuffing followed a similar incident in March when cops discovered another dead canine cargo on a bus from Kursk.

The vehicle's driver said "an unknown man came up to him at the bus terminal and suggested delivering boxes of meat to the capital for some payment", according to Pravda.

The trade is, animal rights groups suggest, feeding up to 50 Moscow restaurants which, "besides those serving Korean cuisine", punt dog dressed as mutton.

1. oh well we should be tolerant of other cultures

especially the ones that KNOW they're breaking the law and western ideas of human decency. IN the west.

Sorry, culture is like a buffet. You don't have to eat every item on the line.

So the idea behind eating dog is because dogs are friendly, and friendly meat is good for your digestion.

I vote we start dressing Best Buy sales associates.

3. I don't think eating a dog is any worse than eating a pig. nt

5. Some dog breeds were created for meat. In Mexico too. I am not apalled at people eating dogs. nt

7. yah - I'm the low end of meatatarian

and let's just throw in octopus, plus any fish or crustacean that has a lifespan > 4 years.

But the point is that eating dog is illegal in most places besides malaysia and Korea. If you want to shrink heads, make penis soup out of rhino horns, powder tiger balls, eat your enemies testicles and hearts, sacrifice virgins, eat bushmeat, and murder dogs (I don't care WHAT breed) for sport and food, then get the fuck out of the western world.

And stay there.

I HATE the third world following their immigrants to the developed world, as a starting point. on the plus side, young 'uns in Korea and Japan are now less apt to eat dog and whale and powdered tiger balls.

8. "eating dog is illegal"

What a waste. We put dogs to sleep and people go hungry.

[sui generis]

9. Define people.

Most people are a waste of perfectly good protoplasm. I say we empty the jails, recycle the unemployed into crackers, turn poor dumb fucks into pate for those crackers, and serve it all at a charity fundraiser to reduce taxes for the ultra-wealthy.

Who's with me?!?

10. People are humans.

The problem with eating dead people is disease. Societies which practice cannibalism generally don't do well. You would have to invent a process which takes care of this problem.

[sui generis]

11. No problem.

Turn them into people crackers. Just like animal crackers, except a whole lot more toxic.

Also the transitive theorem does not apply to people and humans. Not all humans are people, and I'd even go so far as to state that not all people are humans. Cannibalism, while not a predilection of mine, does not cause issues with health among aboriginal people, since they didn't tend to eat unhealthy specimens, and they tended to eat things like the heart instead of our idea of muscle meats. Most traditional cannibalism is in the form of incorporating bone or even ash from a human into meal in something very well cooked - it's ceremonial in nature, not a major staple of diet.

Now, eating a fat westerner - You'd be taking your life into your own hands. Especially foie gras - could you imagine having Rush Limbaugh pate on people crackers? You'd be fucked up on oxycontin for a week.

2. I thought this was going to be a Wylie Coyote type story

That the police arrested a dog dressed up as a lamb among a flock of sheep.
