is there an asian restaurant in the US selling dogmeat?

Answer 1

Edit: I found a site http://www.puppybeef.com

It's in the USA and is a dog butcher shop. Yes, it's real.





I would never eat a cat but I would try dog, I seen a video on youtube of people in china eating poodle....sorry to say....it looked good.

Here is a info of a site that talks about eating dog in US. I won't post the link since is has photos of prepareing dog.




"Yes, In the U.S., people get prison terms for what Asians do to dogs and for what europeans do to horses. But in India, people also get jailed for what Westerners do to cows.

Since the majority of people on Flickr are Americans, I was wondering if it is actually illegal to eat dog meat in the US (or for restaurants, to serve dog meat to a customer who orders some ?).

Here is the information I got from Steve Wertz: There is no federal law against eating/serving dog meat. In Hawaii, for example, it's perfectly legal as long as the dog is not a stray or has been killed inhumanely. Other states laws vary. The majority of states have laws against commercial uses of dog meat, but not necessarily personal consumption in the home.

In California, since there are many Chinese Americans, they had to make it illegal to eat dog meat:

California PENAL CODE Section 598b. (a) Every person is guilty of a misdemeanor who possesses, imports into, or exports from, this state, sells, buys, gives away,
or accepts any carcass or part of any carcass of any animal traditionally or commonly kept as a pet or companion with the intent of using or having another person use any part of that carcass for food.
(b) Every person is guilty of a misdemeanor who possesses, imports into, or exports from, this state, sells, buys, gives away, or accepts any animal traditionally or commonly kept as a pet or companion with the intent of killing or having another person kill that animal for the purpose of using or having another person use any
part of the animal for food.
(c) This section shall not be construed to interfere with the production, marketing, or disposal of any livestock, poultry, fish, shellfish, or any other agricultural commodity produced in this state. Nor shall this section be construed to interfere with the lawful killing of wildlife, or the lawful killing of any other animal under the laws of this state pertaining to game animals.

This means that if you have some dog meat (or carcass) and "intend" to eat it, then you are breaking the law (until you eat the meat). And if you get a dog "with the intent" of killing the animal to eat it, it's illegal. But if you have no intent, and just decide to kill the dog, then decide later to eat it, it's not clear that just the fact of eating dog meat is illegal.

but wait... "animal traditionally or commonly kept as a pet or companion "... "traditionally or commonly" ? what does that mean, precisely? I suppose they want it to mean "cats and dogs", but a lawyer could certainely argue that this law is much too vague to be enforceable. For exemple, does this cover fish pets (kept in fishbowls)? hmmm...

Interestingly enough, California has a much stronger protection to prevent horses from being slaughtered for the purpose of eating them as meat:

598c. (a) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, it is unlawful for any person to possess, to import into or export from the state, or to sell, buy, give away, hold, or accept any horse with the intent of killing, or having another kill, that horse, if that
person knows or should have known that any part of that horse will be used for human consumption.
(b) For purposes of this section, "horse" means any equine, including any horse, pony, burro, or mule.
(c) Violation of this section is a felony punishable by imprisonment in the state prison for 16 months, or two or three years.

I've heard that the US exports a lot of horse meat to europe (where is it commonly eaten, just like cows and pigs), but they have to slaughter the horses in other states.

I like this un-attributed quote:
"If one condemns eating of the meat of one particular animal, one must condemn the eating of the meats of ALL animals. Those who do not are just a pot calling a kettle black."

Answer 2

There are at least 4 asian restaurants in my immediate neighborhood in Los Angeles, as well as a vet. I have never, ever seen the Kitty Coroner...draw your own conclusion!

Answer 3

Let's face it.. there are people with different cultures who eat different things.. I can say from my experience that there are a few chinese restaurants here fairly new.. and hardly any stray dogs or cats.. which i guess could just be coincidental .. but one wonders just what they are eating.. but yea.. i guess the best thing is to just cook for yourself.. it gets expensive eating out all the time anyway! cheers!

Answer 4

I doubt that they can get away with it for long in the US if they do/did. Health Department Officials are the ones who were picked on in grade school. Some power and authority, good night fido cookers.

Answer 5

There might be, but it would be very rare because most asians are against that type of thing. However, I'm not too sure about the chinese, they still might allow that type of thing.
