On the May 21 Savage Nation, nationally syndicated radio host Michael Savage expressed disdain for a newspaper article about "what breeds of dogs came first" that did not include that "the Asians still chew 'em up."

SAVAGE: "Researchers have surprising news about what breeds of dogs came first and which dogs are more closely related." What do I give a rat's behind about which dog is related? Why is this study done? All I know is we treat dogs very well here, and the great originators of the dog eat them. How come they don't put that in their story about 'em, the Asians still chew 'em up? In China they're in cages waiting to be cooked. Yeah, I know, you're not supposed to say that. All the quiet, sacred soy eaters over there.

1. Why should I waste my Beautiful Mind on Michael Savage ?

2. Hes an ass

but yeah, people in several countries still eat dogs. Just another animal, imho, but I'm not sure if I've ever had any.

4. I think your remark that a dog is just another animal

is a bit crass. Sorry, but I am an animal lover and don't thing they should be slaughtered and eaten.

3. Well, I can agree with him on one thing

about how come they don't put that (eating dogs) in their story. Since I am a vegetarian, I don't eat animals and it horrifies me that anyone would eat a dog.
