"they're livestock, not pets!" they HAVE shelter, and don't think they're maltreated when they go out in the rain! now, my Spenser will look out the back door on a rainy day and look back at me, and you can imagine him trying to communicate "you expect me to go out and pee in THAT? ...i can hold it!" :-)tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-89674926677897584202013-02-11T10:39:49.480-06:002013-02-11T10:39:49.480-06:00Yes, there is a sentiment about eating cats, dogs,...Yes, there is a sentiment about eating cats, dogs, rats I can relate to. Not everybody in the world is so squeamish. I remember watching a Globe Tracker episode about some South American countries. People there kept Guinea pigs as pets at home and also used them as a convenient food supply. Probably, not a bad idea considering the growing world population. I don't think I would live to see it.Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-9562885174156476392013-02-11T10:23:08.880-06:002013-02-11T10:23:08.880-06:00yes, the taboo in this country about eating horsem...yes, the taboo in this country about eating horsemeat is based on sentiment, not biology. i can think of a lot of worse things. i'd have a problem eating dog (which polynesians and native americans have long done, with enthusiasm) ... but that's sentiment-based, too!tesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04254045589639201707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7221767529759848946.post-35031113562230563152013-02-11T10:18:38.503-06:002013-02-11T10:18:38.503-06:00I would eat a horse meat if it were available.I would eat a horse meat if it were available.Galina L.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09156132815504279615noreply@blogger.com
