Is dog flesh for food illegal in Canada?

[SirJosephPorter]

How is drinking urine and some urine extract, if that's the case even the same thing?

Why not, unforgiven? People take marijuana because it makes them feel better, it alleviates their pain. You can get the chemical responsible for relieving the pain on its own, but it is hideously expensive. That is why people insist on taking marijuana , even where it is illegal.

This is the similar situation. I don’t know how expensive urine extract is, how easy it is to obtain. Urine is to be had with no trouble. So yes, it can be the same thing, depending upon the situation.

Yeah so do you have something besides your opinion or is this just you running with something off the top of your head again?

It is off the top of my head, but it should be easy enough to Google for it. CNN did a special on the subject, I definitely remember that.

Because urine is a waste product expelled by the body. You're suggesting that instead of useing an anti-venom, people should just go out and get bitten by snakes.

Ridiculous. People take Pot for all kinds of reasons, not just for the relief of pain.
Where do you get these outrageous opinions if they can even be called that.

This is the similar situation. I don’t know how expensive urine extract is, how easy it is to obtain. Urine is to be had with no trouble. So yes, it can be the same thing, depending upon the situation.

This simply isn't true. There is no sound medical evidence that supports this claim. I would say to you to back this up, but you can't and won't. The only thing you can do is post a link to some crack pot website for piss drinkers.

It's off the top of my head, but it should be easy enough to Google for it. CNN did a special on the subject, I definitely remember that.

Feel free to bring your supporting links then. I will be happy to tear them apart and easily refute this ridiculous claim.

That does not mean it cannot have any useful properties, unforgiven. The example of snake is quite appropriate. Just as snake venom can be used to cure snake bite, urine extract may have some useful purpose.

Ridiculous. People take Pot for all kinds of reasons, not just for the relief of pain.

And relief of pain is one of the reasons.

This simply isn't true. There is no sound medical evidence that supports this claim.

Really? Are you a doctor? I simply reported what I heard on CNN more than 20 years ago. If you want to make a federal case out of it, go right ahead.

Feel free to bring your supporting links then. I will be happy to tear them apart and easily refute this ridiculous claim.

Sorry, can’t be bothered. It was a throw away remark, evidently you seem to feel strongly about it. Anyway, this was more than 20 years ago, I am sure medicine has moved on since then. I have no idea what he current status of the particular medicine is (you evidently seem to be a doctor or a specialist of some sort, you may know about it more than I do). I have no idea why this rankles you so much. Perhaps you may want to do the research and share it with us (or give us the benefit of your expert medical opinion).

Im pretty sure there are some shops in Chinatown here in Toronto where you can buy dog meat.

I am only guessing here, but it wouldn’t surprise me if dog meat is eaten in parts of Asia and Africa.

I dunno about that, Markham perhaps. :smile:

 

[Liberalman]

I love my cat because it is a good cat.

Saying that I always wonder that all the animals that are killed at the city pounds or animal shelters and the SPCA because no one wants them if they can be recycled for food for the homeless and the food bank people.

It just seems like a waste to kill these animals that no one wants and just incinerate them.

Farm animals are expensive to eat if the money is tight so since the pets are dead then governments should consider them an alternate meat source.

For a change, we are in agreement, Liberalman.

 

[DurkaDurka]

Feeding pets to the homeless? Come on.

 

[YukonJack]

Eating the flesh of dog or cat is just a tiny notch below cannibalism.

 

[Cliffy]

Eating the flesh of dog or cat is just a tiny notch below cannibalism.

And you are being just a tiny notch below ridiculous. By your logic, eating any meat is cannibalism. (I know, some vegans think that is the case.) There is not a living thing on this planet that does not owe its existence on the death of other creatures, whether eaten or from decomposition. From death comes new life. Eating cats and dogs is acceptable in many cultures. In our's it is just an emotional attachment that grosses out most people.

It is a matter of opinion, Cliffy. In our culture many people, including me, esteem our pets as "part of the family".

Eating the flesh of my cousin/uncle/father/gramdpa etc., would be no less distasteful to me than eating the flesh of my friends, Quigley and Daisy (see on another thread).

Since you agree that every single living thing owes its existence to the death of another creature, even vegetarians must shut up, because unless they grow roots and develop photosyntheseis, they are no better than those of who eat meat.

 

[Unforgiven]

SirJosephPorter Because urine is a waste product expelled by the body. You're suggesting that instead of useing an anti-venom, people should just go out and get bitten by snakes.

I notice you never bother to list all the useful purposes drinking your own piss. Why don't you list those?

Ridiculous. People take Pot for all kinds of reasons, not just for the relief of pain.

And relief of pain is one of the reasons.

But you said people take Pot because the extracted chemical responsible for relieving pain is expensive. While it is expensive, the delivery is the components THC and canibanol are far better from specific strains and methods of ingestion. According to those anecdotal results of those who have used both.

This simply isn't true. There is no sound medical evidence that supports this claim.

Really? Are you a doctor? I simply reported what I heard on CNN more than 20 years ago. If you want to make a federal case out of it, go right ahead.

Do you think it takes a PhD to toss this tripe you post out? If there was any clinical support of your goofy claims then I would find them. There are not.

Of course you can't be bothered. There is nothing that backs up these "throw away remarks" as you call them when someone points out that you don't know what your talking about. No need to get all flustered and upset over it. Simply quit making up stories and calling them facts, then opinions then throw away remarks and people will stop calling you on your bull****.

Something else you could do is click on the quote button and learn to use the features here that make forum a fun and useful place rather than making a mess the way you do. It's easy. Once you manage to get over that whole click part, maybe you could ask CDNBear really really nice to teach you how to quote multiple parts of a post. Wouldn't that be nice?

 

[Unforgiven]

It is a matter of opinion, Cliffy. In our culture many people, including me, esteem our pets as "part of the family".

No it's not opinion. It's eating members of it's own kind. That's what it is, regardless of how you feel about it. Like gravity, it doesn't matter if you don't believe in it, or think you simply have oddly sticky feet. It is what it is.

Of this we are in agreement. Carrots scream too. We just can't hear them.
Native Americans had dogs in camp to clean up the waste and as an emergency meat supply. I don't think they had a great emotional attachment. I used to joke with my dog that one of his hind legs could sustain me for a week, but I doubt, even if facing starvation, I could have but who knows what we are capable of if faced with agonizing death.

 

[AnnaG]

People have eaten people before, and not terribly willingly in spite of the hunger; that sports team that crashed in the Himalayas, EG. Fortunately we live in a part of BC that contains a lot of wildlife, so starving is hardly a concern. Also, I doubt if I would kill and eat Teddy or Violet or one of the cats just out of curiosity. lol

CHAPTER THREE

 

[Ron in Regina]

I believe I'm with Cliffy here in that I just don't like eating carnivores (or an
omnivore like a bear). Perhaps If I'd had Carnivore meat prepared in a
wonderful way (if there is such a thing), then I might have a different
palate. I'll stick to herbivores like this Lamb, thanks.

Mmmmmm.....Easter Lamb.....

 

[YukonJack]

I don't know, Ron!

That carcass on the spit looks an awful lot like the carcass of a Retriever.

 

[Cliffy]

Awh! But lambs are so cute and cuddly! That is almost as bad as eating your dog! (When are you doing it again so I can coordinate a trip back east?) ;-):lol:
