Each and every night as I lie in bed I shed tears for our animal friends. For the HORRENDOUS SUFFERING they endure, inflicted by mankind. I ask God WHY WHY WHY do the animals have to suffer soooooooo much, they have done NOTHING wrong to deserve such a fate!

I am a very sensitive, emotional person and my heart overflows with tears knowing how much they suffer, the pain they feel, the sheer TERROR of it all! We need more ppl to speak out against ALL cruelty to animals and I thank you soooooooooo much for bringing this to the public eye tho sadly, those who have no compassion won’t care. Thank God there are plenty others such as ourselves that do!

You have a lot of fierce support, Amy. It’s a horrific thing when people eat dogs and you are right in following your conscience. Jean

Ok people out there look heres the deal . . . . . it started when America was taken over by settlers the Indians were mistreatedAND abused kicked off their land THEY WERE HER FIRST then it was shipping the African Americans here against their will then more torture and abuse of them,and many other nationalities ,so now its off to the Animals and Each other and our Women and Children.I do realize there are under priviledged countries in 2012 but Man and Our societys have an enormous propensity for Violence PERIOD and ANY CAUSE to bring it to light and STOP IT IS A GOOD ONE regardless ITS NOT OK whether its for food or wealth or power or WHATEVER! We do not whether we or anyone else is underprivileged have the right to be cruel abusive tortuous and inflict pain and misery on anyone or anything ONLY IN THE CASE OF SELF DEFENSE. . . And you cant tell me that its a custom to be Cruel I DONT buy it Every DAMN country has its so called customs BUT IT DOESNT MAKE IT RIGHT because if it was WHY ARE THERE SO MANY WARS

I applaud you for taking a stand on this very barbaric and cruel practice and exposing it. I have long been aware of this horror and have signed many petitions to stop it. I don’t care that this is their “culture” as it is just wrong wrong wrong!!! It is not just dogs/cats that I speak out for but for ALL animals that are victimized in such a cruel fashion. One can see the total FEAR in the eyes of these animals and they are NOT killed in a “humane” way either!

We, as humans, need to start showing COMPASSION towards God’s creatures and STOP the horrific ABUSE and CONSUMPTION of them!

I don’t “twitter” but is there a FB page I can join to help stop this torture?

and, away from the dinner table, I was introduced to dog meat (tough), snake meat (tougher), and roasted grasshopper (crunchy).

It is a cultural thing. Yes it seems disgusting to me, but if you really want to protest this, try taking it to the White House. Obama admits to eating dog in his book!

How ethnocentric can we be, Americans? As said before, what they eat is part of their culture, and they don’t have the same luxuries that we have available to us in the US. Animals eat other animals. It is the food chain. It is part of natural life. Humans are animals too. Picking and choosing which animals are okay to eat and which are not is foolish. That’s ranking. It’s like saying men are more valuable than women or Mexicans are more valuable than Italians. Dogs and cats are animals. Cows and chickens are too. Just because “we” as Americans choose to keep dogs and cats as pets does not mean we should force others to share our perspective and endearment for them. Who do you think you are? What makes our way better than theirs? If you had been raised in S Korea, you’d more than likely be eating dogs and cats too.
