| "The best feeling I have ever had about dogs came in a primitive Akah
village in the mountains of northern Thailand. The Akah keep dogs like we
keep chickens and pigs. They treat their cattle as useful working
companions, give them names and would never, ever think of eating one. But
they eat dogs. They are not pets ? dogs are simply food. There are other
ways to look at dogs. I am embarrassed by how people talk to dogs. I
wonder what dogs must think. You know what I mean. You have heard it. Even
dogs think it is weird. Watch a dog when a human does this. The dog can not
believe what his is hearing, either. "Does Poochie wantum drinky? No.
Poochie wantum go outside."" | |
