Dog Days
Saturday, July 5th, 2008When we were in southern Vietnam I made a comment that I was glad to see so many dogs thinking this means the residents must not eat them. As far as the stories that I knew, people reported not seeing any dogs in places where they are eaten. Rod said that is not true because some have to be the breeders. I definitely tried to ignore the issue and we saw no evidence of any dog for food culture. I lulled myself into believing that Vietnam is not like China and Korea as far as Fido roasts go. Apparently, northern Vietnam is where the action is at and it did not take us long to stumble over plenty of evidence of what I believe is quite a barbaric and disgusting practice.
