(Sky News) - British TV chef Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall claimed that
eating puppy meat is no more morally objectionable than consuming pork.

The celebrity chef previously shocked viewers by eating placenta pate,
curried fruit bat, giraffe and calf testicles and now claims that he
would not be against a "high-welfare organic puppy farm."

Fearnley-Whittingstall, the star of Channel 4's "River Cottage," was
asked by British magazine Radio Times whether he would try loin of
Labrador or cat liver.

"Not unless I was on the point of starvation," he replied. "In principle,
but not in practice, I have no objection to a high-welfare organic puppy
farm."

He added, "You can't object, unless you also object to the farming of
pigs. It's an artificial construct of our society, a cultural decision,
to make pets out of dogs and meat out of pigs. Both animals could be used
the other way round, although pigs probably do make better meat than dogs
and dogs better pets than pigs, but it's not a foregone conclusion."

The Vietnamese Pot-bellied (or miniature) Pig makes quite a good pet but
I don't refuse pork. Given the long intertwined evolutionary development
of dogs and people, I think dogs deserve to be respected. See the recent
PBS documentary.

I haven't seen anything from PBS (whatever that is :-) but I read a
paper recently on the domestication of animals in general in which it
was suggested dogs may have domesticated us, rather than the other way
around.

That said, I've often maintained that I couldn't eat an animal with
such noxious **** as a dog! (But as others have pointed out "If you
have cream with it, you could even eat dog ****!" :-)

Cheers, Phred.

I don't know about 'domesticating' - but my pug has certainly
*trained* our family well.g

Never been around chickens or pigs, eh?

I've eaten dog, and raised pigs. I think I'll stick with our [US]
customary practices of pigs for food & dogs for pets.

Puppy meat is probably how faggots refer to their SO... faggots don't
eat pussy.

When I was a kid my grandmother had chooks -- but a couple of dozen
spread over an acre of lawn wasn't too bad (though I admit to the
occasional "squelsh" between the toes of bare feet :-).

Pigs? Well, yeah, the pong downwind of a pig farm is indeed very
nasty. But I've only once had pig **** on my shoes (in India of all
places) whereas dog **** was hard to avoid here until the local
Council got serious about bylaws a couple of decades ago.

Pigs were put on earth for us to eat!

imagine it wagging!

Sorry, couldn't resist the above.

10Just buy a Edmonton Escort smaller vibrator as to Edmonton Asian Escort not cause discomfort. It can Edmonton Escorts go in as far as you Edmonton Asian Escortst want it to. I find immense pleasure with smaller vibrators. I used to have this huge one that did everything I found it was just too intense for me, and too big!
