I used to think eating dogs is just wrong because it's disgusting but now, I think I support it now because it's Filipino tradition so my answer would be yes

I didn't think it was a Filipino Tradition to eat it. My mom said Filipinos ate it because they had to and had no money to eat anything else. I feel its more tradition to eat Lecheon and mango shake. We have so many good foods we from our culture we don't need another one. If eating dog is a tradition, I think we should forget it.

eating dogs?

its gross i wont support it!

depends if its marinated in sweet soy

I personally don't eat dogs, but I wouldn't condemn anyone who wants to eat dog meat.

It's animal meat just like chicken, beef or pork. So I guess to each his own. Different folks, different strokes.

Just don't trick me into consuming one.

yes, it was a part of ancient filipino culture. there is not inherent difference in the eating of dogs from the eating of pigs.

Dog is good food too. Don't discriminate.

chinese eat them too

only tribes of codillera practice dog eating..but they do it with rituals.

dog -eating if forbidden in the phil.

the one i chewed tasted like leather for some reason. i dont remmber much about the taste. thats all i was thinkin of while chewing, then spat it out.

I thought dog eating is part of mainstream Filipino culture. I guess not

My dad and his friends like eating dogs thats why I thought it was tradition

as long as the dogs gets killed, ill support it

Personally, I don't support it.

No way -- dog eating is not part of mainstream Filipino culture! Killing dogs for meat has actually been banned by the Philippine government and a woman even got arrested for selling dog meat after some concerned citizens reported her to the police. Of course some people still get away with it but they're usually those tambays who like to get drunk and eat dogmeat as pulutan with their alcohol.

I didn't know that the Philippines banned dog eating already.

Dog eating is not exclusive to the Philippines you know. Koreans, Vietnamese, Chinese eat dogs too.

This is how they prepare the meat in Korea. I guess they do it this way to make the meat taste better.

I know it's crude, but that's how life is, just be thankful that we're at the top of the food chain.

A BIG no!!

My ex who was filipino told me that his dad sold his laborador retriever to a friend so his friend could eat it.

When I was a child, I went to this lady's house and she asked me to try her cooking. It was stir fried dog meat.

My cute puppy got ran over by a car. I didn't know what to do so I pulled him to the sidewalk while I ran to make a call to my mom. My Vietnamese neighbor took him and made a meal out of it.

Yep that's my experiences with dog as a food.

goodness!!!
maybe they are from northern Phils.
in visayas region now adays... eating dog...
is a BIG BIG no.
better to eat bayawak..lols

Did it taste like chicken?

Seriously, what's dog meat comparable to?

It tasted like deer meat.

No the first story was a filipino dude story. Cebu, I think he was from??? Something like that.

The second story: the lady was Thai-Khmer.

The third story: Vietnamese family. Even the little kids ate my puppy and they use to pet it too.

Sorry about your puppy.

I had a dog once back home. When she died, I didn't let any of my relatives near her. I buried her instead.

^Thanks for the condolescences.

You never know... they might have dug her up. Kiddddddinnng.

Sorry about your dog too.

NEVER!!! I know some mountain tribes practice it but itsa part of thier age old traditions and rituals. But those that do it are lazy fu-ks that hang around sa mga canto para sa pulutan nila.

of course, it is not a part of the common diet of the filipino. not all pinoys eat dog. but before the law, it was no big deal if you eat dogs. well, even until now, if you eat dog, no one will make such a big fuss about it.

dog meat tastes good. i used to eat it dogs when i was a kid. but usually it is eaten as pulutan, that is how drunkards mainatain zero-stray dog in our village. i used to run errands for the street bums in my barrio so i always get my share when they cook azucena!

you stray, you end up in my pot compadre!

just make sure the dog is rabies free or you're gonna be the one running amok!

Foaming at the mouth and running amok!

Rabid dogs are target practice for trigger-happy Filipinos back home.

Gawd! I miss home so much.

is dog meat still popular in the philippines?

I don't think dog meat has ever been "popular" in the Philippines because it's not even readily available and it's very hard to come by. Like what the others have mentioned, usually the ones who eat it are drunkards who kill random stray dogs.

eating dog meat and popularity?

something is wrong with that picture

I support Filipinos who stop eating dogs.

good it\'s a barbaric practice! sick!

HELL NOOOOOOOOOOO!

meh?

pfff anyone can post digusting picture of animals slaughtered for food. I still don't see how that's different from this:

Shut up and stop posting that picture around

I dont know why I find this topic so funny lol probably because im westernized and foook no..lol I cant eat my family pet but he would probably eat you first lol

I never ate dog meat. When I was still a kid I heard a story that when a person eats dog meat all the other live dogs will bark at you even more. Its like they can sense something inside you that you ate one of their kind and they will actually bite you. I was afraid of that and I really like dogs that's why I don't support eating dog meat but wth, if thats a good way of eliminating those stray dogs on the streets from hurting people then go ahead people eat as many dogs as you want.

apparently eating dog is really popular in philippines. sad. hopefully flips can get over this barbaric, uncivilized practice!

Whats a piece of meat between two friends? one is a dog and the other is man?

YUMMY

FALSE. The one with the ritual is the Canao, where people are required to butcher PIGS, not dogs. Research first, before posting.

Dog eating is definitely not part of the Igorot tradition but rather it's more of a "pop culture" among FILIPINOS. You go out of the Cordilleras, you'll still see people eating dogs

It\'s still sick and barbaric. no civilized person should eat dog. weirdos!
