Man eats dog

[Pk_#2]

A man in New Zealand who cooked his pet dog will not be charged as it is legal to do so.


Paea Taufu, a Tongan-born man living in Auckland New Zealand was in the process of roasting his pitbull terrier-cross in a traditional Umu pit-barbecue when animal protection inspectors arrived to investigate.


They were called by a concerned member of the public on Sunday but arrived too late for the animal.


Dog meat is considered an acceptable fare in Tonga. "Dog, horse, we eat it in Tonga. It's good food for us," said Lupi Taufu, Paea's wife.


Under New Zealand's Animal Welfare Act it is legal to kill a dog providing the slaughter is done quickly and painlessly.


But the local Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) has criticised the actions. "I find it quite disturbing that someone would kill a pet and then eat it. I'm not okay with that but unfortunately the law allows you to do it," SPCA Inspector Derek Haddy told reporters.


Taufu was not aware that he was doing something uncommon in New Zealand but indicated he would not kill another dog to avoid offending anyone in the future.

It's quite a strange ethical issue, this, isn't it?

Clearly the Tongan man thinks about pets differently than we are used to. Does that make it wrong, though?

If it's OK to kill a cow or a lamb and eat it, why is it wrong to kill a dog and eat it?

(I'm not about to tuck into poodle and chips, so don't worry - I'm just curious as to why we think the way we do.)

Peace

Some Indonesian non-muslim eat dogs. They call it 'RW meat'.
There were few cases people eat cats in Indonesia, but those people are not 100% normal.

Cat meat is a menu in some restaurants in China.

The only food that is forbidden is pork,swine,and blood.

Well, and everything else that is bad for your helth.

I don't think it's forbidden to eat a dog. I would never eat such a thing it's just culture.

Though, we are not forbidden to eat dogs. Can someone provide evidence it it is?

To Muhammad,saws, it might have been discusting but he didn't forbate people from eating it becuase Allah didn't say that it is forbidden.

I could be wrong.

[Duhaa786M]

shame shame no wonder the all blacks look so terrible! eating haraam dogs. ooooooooh make me scared.

:hmm: never heard that hadeeth before, hanafi mathhab dogs are totaly haraam.

:hmm: never heard that hadeeth before, hanafi mathhab dogs are totaly haraam.

I didn't quote ahadeeth. But since there is no evidence(if there isn't) than I thaught that Allah,spw, didn't forbit it to be consumed.

But if that's what Hanafi believe I must believe it as well and no problem doing it. :statisfie

Don't they already do that?

lol among the youth eating something haraam is made to seem worse than takin drugs or doing anything else haram

Yeah I kinda understand that, it's easier to stay away from haram food..

After you get hooked on drugs it's kinda normal, like when you do the same sin, for example lying, you start to think it's acceptable,

These days everyone's doin' drugs that somehow refraining from haram food is made easier, not saying that drugs are halal but yeah erm duno how to explain it..

Hello/Wa'alaykum As-salam Rasema, Welcome to IB. Sis, I thought pork and swine was the same thing?

Well, probably eating cow and lamb is also wrong. But not many people agree with that I suspect. Personally, I'm still hoping we'll grow out of the whole meat-eating habit though, or at least figure out how to grow steaks in a vial or something!

[Muhaba]

^we should stop eating altogether. i mean, come on why kill a plant? let them live. you can eat sand if you want!

Ehm. Plants are not equivalent to animals. The latter have a central nervous system and a brain. In your opinion can an animal feel pain and suffering? If so, how is that pain of, say, a cow or dog different from the pain you can feel? You may speculate here of course, since we can never be sure what an animal feels?

But we do know that physiologically our livestock or pets are pretty much the same build as we are. The same cannot be said about plants. We can certainly say there is a good chance animals have some kind of consciousness and plants do not.

Plants have feelings! imsad

"The only food that is forbidden is pork,swine,and blood."
I have some question.
My dad said, the ungulates animals are also forbidden, for example: horse, cow, donkey, deer. Is it true? Or are there any exception?
Dad also said, rabbit is also forbidden 'cause it's unpure. Is it true?
:hmm:


And back to the topic. I think "normal" people (whos don't live strange cultures) don't eat pets, like dog, cat and so on... Becuase those pets are "closer to the people heart", like it's around the house and always welcome you when you enter your house. But eating a chicken, it's also can be an instinct, I mean it's normal to you to eat chicken since you are borned. And just simple eat dogs, cats that's too bizzare... But French don't live in any strange culture, but they eat snail and mussel aswell.

Some people and cultures are too bizzare and strange to me.:embarrass

[GuestFellow]

How can anyone eat a dog..... o__o

It's only bizarre because it's different, for others across the world, your culture and mine might be bizarre,

The only food that is forbidden is the one that is mentioned in the Qur'an and the hadeeths. Allah in the Qur'an says that everything that is bad for you is haram. So yes if rabbits are bad for your healt they are haram.

However, Allah.spw. allows us to eat anything if it's a life death situatuin. I'm not 100% sure. You would have to ask someone knowledgeable.

As, for animals. Allah created them for good reasons. It is mentioned in the Qur'an how their skin is used as leather.

How do you think people from past generations survived?

[Muezzin]

is it halal?

Seriously speaking, no, it is not halal, because dogs are carnivores. The meat of carnivores is haram.

Which is good, because such meat contains less energy than that of herbivorous animals or vegetables. Vegetables contain the most because plants photosynthesise. Some of the energy generated is lost when a herbivore eats the plants. A carnivore eating a herbivore consumes all of the remaining original energy. So as a result, not much nutrition can be derived from the meat of the carnivore.

Any mistakes in the above (pseudo) science are my own, and not those of my GCSE Biology teacher.
