HBO 24/7 ratings are significantly down with Pacquiao/Cotto.

If you dont know what your saying dont even bother typing a word about it. Pinoys dont eat dogs, even if you go around the whole archipelago, you will not find any dog meat being sold in public markets, or dog dishes for that matter. This remarks are very racist, specially coming from an ******* like you!!

Dog Meat in the Philippines: A Tough Trade to Swallow


September 19, 2007



HSI
Dogs await rescue during a dog meat seizure in the Philippines.

By Carly Ikuma

In the sweltering heat of a typical summer evening in the Philippines, 100 terrified dogs are packed tightly into a wooden crate in the closed cabin of a large truck. They struggle to breathe through mouths tied tightly with plastic string. With no room to move, piled on top of one another, their desperate whimpers are met with silence. Eight have already died and three others are close behind.

That scene greeted Humane Society International investigators in July, when they were involved with a seizure of more than 100 dogs.

Representatives from HSI and Network for Animals had traveled to the Philippines to learn the extent of the ongoing illegal commercial trade in dog meat. Aiming to put an end the trade, they met with officials and local animal welfare organizations. While they were there, they also documented the cruel reality for the animals whose lives are at stake.

On the Heels of a Brutal Trade

While the Philippine dog meat industry centers in a single northern region, it involves a country-wide underground network of traders, drivers and scouts to get the dogs from source to slaughter. Approximately 500,000 dogs fall victim to the trade every year.

Philippines Dogs Factsheets
The religious history of eating dog meat
The ritual of eating dog meat started as a religious practice in the Philippines whereby dogs were sacrificed and their meat eaten when a family was faced with bad luck, or when a death was witnessed. The Filipinos believe that the spirit of the sacrificed dog protects and guards the spirits of the living family. The major difference between what occurred as an infrequent religious practice long ago and what is occurring today is how the dogs are treated. More than 20 years ago, before dog meat became commercialized, dogs were treated with respect and killed in a humane manner. Today they are tortured, made to suffer, and are brutally killed. Torture methods include tying their muzzles with rope so that they do not make any noise, stuffing them into the backs of trucks where there is little room to breathe, leaving them in vehicles for days without any food or water in the stifling heat, and slaughtering them. Another difference is that long ago dog meat was only eaten on certain tragic occasions. Today it is not hard to find dog meat in restaurants or public markets in and around the region of Baguio City.

Uh-Oh.

From the article you posted
"Although the majority of the Filipino population is against eating their dear family pet, or anyone else’s for that matter, there is still a large group of people located primarily in and around Baguio City and in the Cordilleras region who partake in the eating of dog meat."

Unfortunately, poverty and cultural relevance keeps the dog trade going. Its sad and disgusting.

First, you guys said that "Pinoys don't eat dogs". And that "You won't find it anywhere on the archipelago". Now, that I have provided tons (TONS!) of proof, you are changing .

You guys called me a racist for saying that Filipinos eat dogs.

Which is it, guys? Please give us a consistent story.

Dude just drop it. Your "Filipinos eat dogs" was made as a disparaging remark and is on par in terms of racism as someone telling an AA to go eat some fried chicken!
