Dog Eats Man
Last week 60 Minutes screened a show on the process of slaughtering dogs for human consumption. It was fairly shocking.
Interestingly the woman involved was originally in the Philippines to stop the feeding of live cats to Crocodiles but stumbled on the Dog story by accident.
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.
But one resident of the Island of Lumboga was involved in a tail wagging the dog moment recently.
