Hello everyone. The great dane is featured in this issue - a gentle, laid-back breed that is known for its pleasant disposition and trustworthiness. There is no dane owner I have met who would want to switch to any other breed.
Dogs raised for food have come to our attention again and I put my weight fully behind anyone doing their best to focus the disgust of the world on the uneducated deviants who indulge in this practice.
Saint Bernards are being raised for slaughter in China, Korea and other parts of the far east, and in the Philippines even the family dog is in danger from the local imbecilic mentality. These people must be educated on the availability and comparative pricing of products such as Viagra or other herbal enhancers if they feel their manhood is so deficient. Most seem willing to pay large prices to eat dog because they suffer a deluded fantasy that dog meat is an aphrodisiac. This assumption of course rates alongside fairies and travelling gnomes!
However, China should be the last country in the world to require aphrodisiac foods as its laws forbid more than one child per couple unless the couple have earned the right to produce a second child. Which brings us to the real reason the dog eaters indulge. In a country where the male can not prove his fertility by having a large family (even when he can obviously afford it) it is a compensating action for males (and sometimes females) of that country to get together and "eat dog". The action is not because they enjoy dog meat - it is merely a demonstration to other males of how "manly" they are ... a publicly accepted way for them to "show others of both sexes their dog-induced virility"!
I have personally seen on the internet websites offering shares in Chinese breeding cages and slaughter houses - two that I visited were taken off the web shortly after ... I hope it was because of the messages I left on their e-mails, but I suspect there must have been a few thousand messages just like mine and the weight of insults was just too much for them to invite more of the same.
But that would not stop their basic belief in primitive mumbo jumbo, or the opportune "businessmen" who are willing to cash in on third-world lack of education and kill anything to make a buck!
Money is certainly the motivating factor in today's world, but luckily there are still some people in influential places who will take up the fight on behalf of the world's dogs.
