People who steal dogs have an indescribable hostility in them. Some people call this hostility an aura. Ordinary dogs will immediately wilt when they see such a person, even a ferocious Tibetan Mastiff will be very well-behaved. It is said that the person who steals a dog has something on him that the dog is afraid of. As for what it is? Some people say it is tiger bones, while others say it is a secret sachet. This sachet emits a special smell that makes dogs afraid to move when they smell it. Of course, these are all hearsay and there is no basis for verification.
Not all dog thieves have this kind of aura, and some use cruel methods, such as shooting with crossbows, drugging, poison darts, etc.
Stealing a dog is almost a no-cost business, as long as you don't get caught. What dog thieves fear most is to be caught by passers-by or villagers. The result of being caught is usually being beaten up, and then handed over to the police after the beating.
There are generally two ways to deal with stolen dogs. The first is to sell them directly to restaurants. Of course, there are a lot of tricks involved. For example, what restaurants specialize in accepting dogs of unknown origin? For example, the price of a stolen dog is much lower than the market price.
The second method is selling. Dog thieves will take a group of dogs and sell them at a pet market at least dozens of miles away. The price of this kind of selling is more than twice as high as selling them directly to a restaurant.
Many dog lovers say that if there is no buying and selling, there will be no killing. Only by eliminating the eating of dog meat can we eliminate dog thieves as much as possible. As for selling dogs, it is more acceptable than being served to the dinner table.
First of all, it is almost impossible to stop eating dog meat. As for why it’s impossible, let’s first talk about the Dog Meat Festival in Yulin.
The annual Yulin Dog Meat Festival is about to begin. Whenever this day comes, many dog lovers will strongly protest against its cancellation. A question was raised online before about whether to support the banning of the "Dog Meat Festival". Among the more than 80,000 netizens who participated in the vote, more than half of the netizens supported the cancellation, 34.9% of the netizens did not support the cancellation, and some netizens chose neutrality.
Netizens who support the cancellation of the Dog Meat Festival have expressed their views. They believe that dogs are mankind’s most loyal friends and play an important role in all aspects of life, such as guide dogs, search and rescue dogs, drug detection dogs, police dogs and pet dogs. They perform their duties where people need them most and should not be eaten on the table.
Netizens who do not support the cancellation of the Dog Meat Festival also expressed their views. They believe that life is equal, and other animals have also played a significant role in the development of mankind. If eating dog meat is canceled today, many people will cancel eating beef, mutton, chicken, and pork tomorrow. Therefore, dogs should not be specialized, nor should they undermine the rights and interests of others.
Having said that, the regional Yulin Dog Meat Festival cannot be cancelled. Do dog lovers think it is possible to stop eating dog meat?
We understand the idea of dog lovers to stop eating dog meat. In fact, dog meat eaters will find a stable home for a stray dog when they see it. They will also feel sad and sad when they see the media reporting on the cruel methods of dog thieves. Although they eat dog meat, they also have a compassionate heart.
Dogs are divided into pets and meat dogs. Most of the dogs served on the table are meat dogs or native dogs, not corgis, satsumas, harpies, sharpeis, teddy, golden retrievers, chihuahuas and other pet dogs.
In fact, it is dog thieves who should be eliminated, not dog meat eaters. Dog lovers and dog meat eaters should not conflict. He eats his meat, and you raise your dog.
In addition, we must also regulate the market and establish complete standards for the dog meat market. We must strictly prohibit businesses from using dogs of unknown origin and set positive examples so that people who eat dog meat can also supervise the dog meat market. In addition, camera monitoring equipment should be popularized in rural areas. Dog thieves will naturally not dare to steal if they know that there are many cameras in villages or urban streets. Even if someone is desperate, monitoring will make law enforcement more difficult.
As I write this, I always feel that there is a lot to add, but if I write too much, I am afraid that someone will misunderstand the author’s position, so I will end it here. The author has never eaten dog meat. He had a dog when he was a child, but he later fell ill and passed away.
