Mediaman Posted January 30, 2006 Posted January 30, 2006 I don't want to bring the New Years party down but: "Up to 10 million dogs are slaughtered every year in China, many killed slowly and cruelly to supposedly enhance the meat's flavour, according to animal rights groups." http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20060127/lf_af...HNlYwNzc3JlbA--

We were looking at some puppies and dog this weekend from North Shore Animal League and I never considered taking one home and throwing him on the grill.

We now have one from the local shelter (Hempstead shelter in Wantagh), probably the best dog we have ever owned.

I think all the cages are emptied by the time they leave.
