Is the Consumption of Dog Meat Legal in Switzerland?

Do you mean 'eating dog meat on a regular basis' i.e. procuring dog and wursting it, or 'have no problem with the eating of dog meat and have done so in the past and would do so in the future, if it was available'?

82

I would say a very small minority in switzerland have ever eaten dog meat and would ever consider to do so

83
What do you consider a very small minority? I suspect the number is higher than you'd expect, especially considering the whole Appenzell and St.Gallen dog eating traditions.

There are more than a couple of people who've eaten dog in this thread alone (which, I grant, is a highly suspect sample)

84
I have never eaten dog meat but if i find it i will try it

85
I decided not to show an actual dead dog, to protect the sensibilities of those less robust members of EF. But here's where you'll find some tasty dog meat:

86
I, however, have no such compunctions.

Behold! Sausage dog onna bun.

87

the ppl in bern in the city i know, even if they ate snakes insects and whatever see dogs and cats as pets and wouldnt eat them, im sure some ppl here would try it but only a "very small minority"

88
That's a pretty subjective sample, even worse (from an analytical POV) than EF users.

And you haven't defined 'very small minority'. That's a weasel-wording statistical trick to avoid actually pinning yourself down while still marginalizing a group. However, I can both play that game and help you clarify it:

Do you think the dog-eating minority is smaller or larger than the percentage of men who frequent 16 year old prostitutes?

its whatever i dont really care about dogs, im not a dog person.

i wouldnt eat dog simply for the reason that dogs eat meat and their poo stinks.

i try not to eat meat more than twice a week.

i have heard that they used to eat dogs in appenzell, but i dont know anybody here that ate dog and is open about it.

i try to eat different animals like kangoos, emus, beef, lamb, horse and whatever and some ppl thought im crazy for eatin horses and kangoos but i tell them its unfair to cows and chickens if we only eat them.

either be vegetarian or not but i wouldnt eat dogs or cats for the reasons stated above.

This key works wonders -- go on, give it a go, you know you want to ...

Do you eat pork? Did you know that pigs eat meat? How about nice, tasty chicken drumsticks -- many farmed chickens are fed meat, too.

I hear what you're saying about dog poo. Cowshit smells sooooo much better.

I tried to eat one once, too, but boy, was it tough.

Now with delicious asphalt flavour

I'll stick to restaurants thanks

And what exactly is your referecne for such a sweeping statement ?

You have absolutely no idea apart from your own sensibilites that you based everybody elses on.

93
Ahhh, that`s a thought! Kentucky Fried Cat! I`m going to tell my grandkids that one.

Any ideas for McDonalds? Is it really beef in those burgers? .... or various body parts of Old McDonalds farmyard?

Anagram of McDonalds hamburger: a bard germ munch sold

....I didn't know there were that many bards, they must be using inferior ones

95
I'm vegan, more because I care about what I eat and believe that a plant food diet is what serves my health better, but I could actually care less what others eat. In the long term, as far as Mother Earth's resources are concerned, you carnivores are probably doing less harm to the planet eating canines and cats rather than wasting a bunch of otherwise useful vegetation and water on raising cattle.

Personally, I think that evolution has taught us that if man can't catch his own meal, it probably shouldn't be eaten. So any greyhounds reading this right now will probably be feeling pretty smug.

96
I dont eat pork, and yes cowshit smells much better.

97
And Kangoos?

98
I once tried eating dog meat - but Pedigree Chum just doesn't do it for me.

Cheers,

I have to admit, when I first read the thread title, that's what I thought this thread was about ... and I was wondering how it would be possible to outlaw the consumption of dog food by humans.
