O. M. G. ... wait 'til the animal rights folks get hold of THIS one ... Dog-On-A-Stick in space ...
" Where's Fluffy ... ?" ... "In the teriyaki ... " So much material, so little thyme ... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.telegraph.co.uk/science/space/7718570/Dog-on-the-menu-for-Chinese-astronauts.html Dog on the menu for Chinese astronauts China's first man in space has said that Chinese astronauts eat dog meat to keep their strength up as they orbit around the earth. ByMalcolm Moore in Shanghai Published: 10:28AM BST 13 May 2010 Yang Liwei, the 44-year-old military pilot who commanded the Shenzhou Five mission in 2003, revealed the menu on-board the spacecraft in his autobiography, The Nine Levels between Heaven and Earth. "Many of my friends are curious about what we eat [in space] and think that the astronauts must have some expensive delicacies, like shark's fin or abalone," he wrote. "Actually we ate quite normal food, there is no need to keep it a secret," he added. He listed a menu including braised chicken, steamed fish and dog meat from Huajiang county in Guangdong, which is famed for its nutritional benefits in China. A local proverb in the south of China is that "Huajiang dog is better for you than ginseng", referring to the medicinal root that plays a vital role in traditional Chinese medicine. He added that the diet had been specially drawn up for the astronauts by Chinese nutritionists and that the food had been purchased from special suppliers in Beijing. Dog is widely eaten in northern China, where it is believed to help battle the winter cold. The menu was still in use last year, when Chinese astronauts conducted their first ever spacewalk. China has plans to land a man on the moon by 2020. The revelation drew an angry rebuke from animal rights campaigners, who said Mr Yang was setting a bad example to his millions of fans. |

Some associates of mine have traveled in rural china, and say they have seen 'grilled lizard on a stick' (like, a whole lizard on a kabob...) and dogs, butchered for food.
Yet when I've tried to discuss this issue in a broader context, I'm told that its a myth or even a horribly racist, slanderous lie about another culture. |

As far as animal rights activists, we already know this kind of thing happens around the world, and generally we aren't freaking out. We think its silly that non-animal-rights people think that eating dog is horrible while eating cow is just fine. As a society, we are bit selective and arbitrary in what we take offense too.
