Dog Eats Man
Last week 60 Minutes screened a show on the process of slaughtering dogs for human consumption. It was fairly shocking.

There was no mention of the cats in the story, it was obviously a dog lead.
Regardless of how you prefer your domestic pets the controversy raised caused a real furore.
In Indonesia as well the local spicy diet is famous for including dogs.
