I like mine well fed, happy and alive. I realize there are some cultures and people who eat dogs, I'm not one of them.

[porphyrian]

1. I've eaten rabbit before.

Tastes just like chicken.

[Rabrrrrrr]

9. I think it tastes more like veal, but with a little gamey-ness to it.

I don't think rabbit tastes like chicken at all. It's very mellow, but with a somewhat fuller taste than chicken.

[Xipe Totec]

21. To me rabbit tasted like birdshot.

Not like chicken, more like quail, which also tasted like birdshot.

[Rabrrrrrr]

2. And some cultures prefer cows alive and well fed. Why be judgmental?

Why this America-centric bias against eating something that we might think "sacred" while laughingly pissing on those cultures who revere the animals that we do eat?

[TX-RAT]

5. Saying i'm not one of them is being judgmental?

[Rabrrrrrr]

8. Your post sure seems judgmental.

[Deep13]

24. Expressing distaste for Fido burger = judgment?

Aren't we allowed to have opinions about anything anymore?

3. This Danish bashing has GOT TO STOP!!!...

Replace 'Danish Prince' with 'Black' or 'Female' or 'Hispanic'...oh...wait...well, in THIS case i guess it doesn't matter. Never mind.

[TX-RAT]

6. I bashed no one. I just passed on a story.

Get a grip.

[ret5hd]

11. Oh jeez, once again my humor flys right over peoples heads!

not the first time either.

but i still kill ME, even if others don't get it.

And sometimes their not getting it kills me too.

[TX-RAT]

29. My apologies.

[Rowdyboy]

37. Well I got it and enjoyed the hell out of it!

I say MORE Danish prince bashing! Bring it on!

[dogday]

4. I wonder how he would like dogs

eating on his ass.....

[bennywhale]

7. Many Indians would be

appalled and upset that you eat cows.

[derby378]

10. I've eaten both alligator and squid in the past - but not now

While both are delicious, and I don't knock anyone for eating them, I guess I've seen too many nature documentaries for both critters.

[LiberalEsto]

12. He's several cans short of a six-pack, methinks

Eats dogs, writes poetry to dogs.
When was the last time any of you composed an ode to a hamburger?

:crazy:

[Kellanved]

13. He also wants to reincarnate as a dachshund

[LiberalEsto]

14. wearing a little sign that says

EAT ME?

:evilgrin:

[Phx_Dem]

15. man's best friend?

"He invited Danes to try eating dog meat themselves. "I do not mind eating dog meat at all," he said. "The dogs I eat have been bred to be eaten anyway, just like chickens."

Except that they are not chickens you sick f*ck.

[Spider Jerusalem]

16. Meat is meat...

in many places in Europe (France and the Netherlands, for instance) horsemeat is not uncommon, but in America and the UK, most people are horrified and vaguely disgusted at the idea of eating horse. Cultural differences, that's all.

[Phx_Dem]

18. yeh, but do we really have to go out of our way

to eat intelligent social creatures like dogs? You know I bet the smartest dog in the world is smarter than george bush....

[tjwmason]

31. As opposed to intelligent social creatures like pigs?

:shrug:

[Phx_Dem]

34. Yea, no one should eat swine or dogs....nt

[laheina]

36. Pigs are smarter than dogs.

I'm not ripping on my puppy friends, but any animal that can raid the fridge itself is scary smart. :)

[Kellanved]

22. Yup

It's not really the Danish culture, but so what?

[Hugin]

17. Okay, I'm *not* going to open the link and gleefully pretend he's talking

Hot Dogs.

Yeek!

[JVS]

19. Interesting quote

"Prince Henrik learnt Danish and changed his name, religion and nationality to marry Queen Margrethe II in 1967. But he has repeatedly complained about the Danes' lack of willingness to accept him."

Then maybe keeping quiet about the whole dog-eating thing might have helped!

[Bridget Burke]

20. Some people are disgusted at the thought of eating any animal.

Others are totally Vegan. And I knew a Jain lady who wouldn't eat certain vegetables for moral reasons.

I'm part of the large group culturally taught to be picky--if hypocritical. No dog for me. No horse. And no sea mammal. I can't look down on those who eat these animals--but I won't go to their house for dinner.

[Deep13]

23. I like my Danish with cheeze and orange juice.

[philosophie_en_rose]

26. and a nice chianti.

:)

[ret5hd]

27. and fava beans.

[Beware the Beast Man]

25. The snack of choice for inbred freeloaders.

[LeftyMom]

28. Well that's some sick shit

Taking an animal that's specially bred as a companion to human beings and eating it just seems awfully strange, even by omnivore standards, which seem odd and contradictory to me on the best of days I must admit.

[laheina]

35. Especially by someone that seems so attached to their own

companion animals.

If he didn't name it, does that make it ok?!

:puke:

[Vidar]

30. This is a prince, not representative of the Danish people.

Personally, I find dogs morally superior to human beings .

[Brigid]

32. Ugh.

When I first saw the title, I had hoped the article would be about hot dogs, like Oscar Meyer. :(

[LisaL]

33. That guy is a sicko.
