The French eat dogs ?
Many Americans appreciate French food as the highest culinary standard. We're brought up with a few fancy French words to describe high-class food. If you dream of romantic meals and nice restaurants, it's almost inevitably French.
However, most Americans are not familiar with some of the lesser-known ingredients on French menus. There are some uncommon birds, fluffy rodents, offal (organ) meats, and according to this report, dog!
Article on Dog-Eating French
and a photo showing a French dog meat butcher shop
Quote: [Animal rights advocate, Bridgette Bardot, said, Koreans who eat dog meat are barbarians' over the phone during talks with MBC radio host on December 3rd, 2001. Seok-Hee Shon asked, "Do you know the fact that there are French who eat dog meat?" And she said, "Absolutely not." "And she said further, "I can't talk any longer with Koreans who lie," and she hung up the phone.]
Well, Bridgette dear, I don't like Koreans who lie either, nor French who hang up the phone when faced with facts like that. You wimp.

I'll think you'll find this pro-canine consumption article you link to from Korea contains a number of inacuracies and distortions of fact. The majority of cases referred to in the article occurred during the Franco-Prussian war, a period in which the population of Paris was beseiged by the Prussian Army. There was widespread starvation and all sorts of animals were consumed including most zoo animals. To subsequently refer to the French, or Parisians, as "lion eaters" or "elephan eaters" would be misleading. As is this article justifying Korean consumption of dogs.
then call them lion eaters and elephant eaters. the point is that their love for dogs is a recent invention.
if koreans, along with the chinese, vietnamese, indonesians, taiwanese, eskimos and swiss, decide to keep eating dogs, it should not concern other people.
whether they should stop or not, it should only be koreans who decide.
there is no one superior culture over another, so stop fooling yourselves.
Boy, some of you are really idiots or going to any lenght to look macho or "far out.."
the reason Bardot hung up is that she was talking to idiots and has better things to do. Since you like to eat and have killed dogs, mans best friend, why not go on with your bravery (I bet you wet your pants from excitement) and also eat man's enemies, rats instead of justifying this kind of crap?Most people would despise not only your activities reported here but your stupid attempts at self aggrandizement..what a bunch of asses! So sophisticated? 3rd grade level!!!
By the way, it's not "Bridgette" Bardot, it's Brigitte. And the poster from Dec 18 is the only one who makes any sense. And you're right, she DOES have better things to do then to preach to a deaf ear.
I'm a vegetarian so I feel the same way about eating NO animals anyway... that does not make any one a wimp (b/c eating dead animals is SOOO hard and proof of strong character!) last time I checked.
