Is China actually starting to understand how the world really works?[/quote]
I don’t know how your world works, but in my world, people eat animals.
I’d certainly eat dog.[/quote]
Well good for you, most of the human race has recognized Dogs for there value as working animals not food. Of course most people go to far, however also most of the human race also do not eat horses. Why cause they are working animals.
China has continued to want to “trade” and make money off the rest of the world however not recognize normal societal taboos.
My question was more for the fact of are they now starting to feel this pressure.
Also why would you want to eat a dog?
Personally a Sirloin or Ribeye taste much better. [/quote]
Horse meat is eaten all over Europe and Asia. There was even a poster from Switzerland (i think?) who posted a shot of his horse steak in the snap a pic of your plate thread.
How would you know a Sirloin or Ribeye would taste better? Have you eaten dog before?

Its called logic. If Dog meat was out of this world they would not have been utilized more for working animals, they would have been farmed for there meat.
Have you ever worked on a farm? Have you ever been outside and worked the land or ranch?
Plus again your sites for Horse is due to what? Economy not meat again same logic as before. You can eat anything there are shows on food network all the time for this.
However what is palatable in a general consensus is what has developed over the evolution of man. In times of great scarcity humans will do things to survive that is not the discussion here. [/quote]
People do not eat dogs because of the relationship humans formed with the animal over time and their high level of intelligence. Unless you have tasted the animal yourself, you cannot really know for sure. Clearly, dog meat is suitable to the Chinese pallet.
It’s common knowledge horse meat is considered a delicacy in Europe, do a search for yourself.
