I dunno. A lot of variety among the Asian Muslims. It's probably more about culture and tradition than religion.

Baking and eating dog here has fallen out of fashion in North America, but it is a meat that is fair game elsewhere. So President Obama ate dog as an indigenous dish in an Asian country.

This is no big deal. To say the least. I would never give anyone shit about that. Unless it involved eating people or sme incredibly intelligent creature, which a dog is not.

I was stationed in Korea and I learned that dog meat was considered a delicacy to some of them. Because the 88 Olympics were coming in a few years I believe eating dog was highly discouraged by the government; it may have become illegal - I don't remember.

People asked me if I ever ate dog and my answer is - I don't know I might have.

I've eaten wholesome food made from snakes, worms and even insects.

It neer should be how a food makes you feel culturally, bt whether of not is is sanitary, fresh, well prepared, and nutritious. Everyone out there reading this story would eat dog too in the right setting, especially if they were starving and it was the only food available.

Learning survival information has always been a hobby of mine, and I know what plants and animals are edible, and don't think I'd starve if trapped in some out of the way places or were on the run.

That certainly would not be something that was impossible to happen there.

In many countries dogs are considered unclean in general and it is frowned upon to have them as pets.

We are fairly isolatedon this continent, so often Americans have a poor sense of empathy and understanding for other cultures.

Obviously the notion of dogs as food is a line item in anyone's list of American pet peeves that don't make a lot of other people squeamish.

Many Americans also won't eat horse meat for much the same reason they find dog an unattractive meal. This sort of cultural queasiness is nothing new here.

Do you really think she'd want you to be alone, without a dog to love? I don't. It seems so against the spirit of dogs.

Start to make a slow and careful search for that dog you can love like the one you lost. No hurry. It will be a healing process and a nice dog will get a good home where they'll get spoiled rotten.

I had a trout farm. Coons love trout. One early Am, with a crescent moon, I had to dive into a pond, about 50 degrees, to save my Shephard, that had a coon riding his back.

Dogs actually are so in sync with humans they recognize the finger pointing and will look when larger brained primates not so acclimated to us will miss that meaning.

Dogs have been joined at the hip with humanity so long, what a pointed finger means has become almost intellectually known to them. I found that interesting when scientist figured that one out.

A common test of frontal lobe development is often the test of awareness that a reflection is of the observer. A dolphin one puts a paint spot on will go to a mirror nearby and look at what you did to that particular body part one painted.

Also other tests dolphins actually outdo humans in, such as the number of meaningless sounds they can repeat back in tests scoping out that capacity.

I saw a documentary I think on NGC where foxes were raised to be naturally tame by selectively breeding them for timidity and lack of aggression (ie: lower adrenaline levels). They were able to achieve cute cuddly foxes within a few generations. And an added plus was the different coat patterns that cropped up, with the ears drooping.

I know you libs like to reassure each other that that is true when you're smoking a doob in your nude poetry-chanting circle of Gaia but that doesn't make it true.

Well, some of us understand evolution is a constant, and dynamic force always doing what it has always done on our 4.5 billion year old planet. I don't buy the biblical version of things.

Most conservatives seem to still be wrestling with the concept of hybrid vigor.

Mention hybrid to erica and you'd probably get a soliloquy about the evil conspiracy behind the allegedly dysfunctional Volt automobile. So be careful the context you use that word in and around whom you say it in front of.

Evolution, if you actually understood the theory in any detail most certainly has not been "constant".

It runs in leaps and bounds, then halts.

Much more like the hare than the tortoise if that illustrates the point.

How many species are their on earth?

Take that number and multiply it by 10. That is the number of living years that have occurred in the last 10 years. Not one thing evolved into a new species. It never has and never will. It is sad you put your faith in emptiness.

No. Actually they did a fascinating study that showed the used to human culture over thousands of years dogs got it with no training in the vast majority of cases, while the larger brained, but not so used to humans species of other large apes did not get the clue what it meant.

I am not going to debate it with you as your erroneous view is based on subjective religious dogma, not fact.

Tell you what; you believe as you wish on this, I'll believe what I know is fact.

You have worn out my desire to argue religious matters in any way with you.

You are arrogant, love to belittle and insult, and are too full of cocky hubris.

You made it plain you hate my faith. That is your problem and your lack of consideration for others at work. Just keep that topic to yourself.

Dogs Succeed While Chimps Fail at Following Finger Pointing: Chimpanzees Have Difficulty Identifying Object of Interest Based On Gestures

ScienceDaily (Feb. 8, 2012) — Dogs are better than chimps at interpreting pointing gestures, according to a study published in the online journal PLoS ONE.

Katharina Kirchhofer, of the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Germany, led a team in the investigation of 20 chimps and 32 dogs presented with the same task: retrieving an object the experimenter wanted, as indicated by the experimenter pointing. The researchers found that the dogs performed well, but the chimps failed to identify the object of interest.

These results emphasize the difference in chimp response to human gaze, which they have been shown to be good at following, versus gestures.

"The fact that chimpanzees do not understand communicative intentions of others, suggests that this may be a uniquely human form of communication. The dogs however challenge this hypothesis. We therefore need to study in more detail the mechanisms behind dogs' understanding of human forms of communication," says Dr. Kirchhofer.

I cite research, not merely a random notion. Why are you so insane you can't see that simple fact? Not even citing the study stops ou from inventing your own reality.

Here is more citation of what researchers are finding out:

How dogs interpret human communication


Dogs seem to understand some human communication, even through a television screen.

Sit a dog in front of a television screen, and it may not always look intently at what it sees. But show a person on that screen who looks directly at the dog and says "hello," and the canine will pay attention. In fact, a new study shows that a dog will go so far as to follow the gaze of the human onscreen when he or she looks to one side or the other - something not even chimps can do.

Researchers already knew that dogs were attuned to human communication signals. In addition to their obvious facility at learning commands, dogs, like young children, can signal where a human puts an object if the human feigns ignorance, even if it's been moved, and they follow the direction of our finger when we point at things, a task chimps fail at. But are dogs capable of following more subtle cues, such as our shifting gaze?

To find out, cognitive scientist Erno Teglas of the Central European University in Budapest, Hungary, adapted a technique that had previously been used only on children. In one example of the test, a child watches a woman on a video screen who has toys on either side of her. The woman then either looks straight toward the camera and says "hello" in a high-pitched voice known to engage children or looks downward and says "hello" in a more dull, low-pitched voice. Then the person looks to the toy on one side or the other for 5 seconds. Whether a child also looks at the toy on the same side is recorded.

To modify this experiment for dogs, Teglas substituted empty plastic pots for the children's toys and had a stranger on the screen say "Hi, dog!" in one of the two intonations while looking at the camera or downward. As each dog watches the video, a specially programmed camera below the television screen follows, and records, the dog's eye movements.

Teglas and his colleagues used 22 dogs of different breeds for the study. They found that the canines always looked at the person on the video for the same amount of time. But when the person initially directed his or her attention at the dog and spoke in a high-pitched voice, the dog looked at the same pot as the person 69 percent of the time. When the person avoided eye contact and spoke in a low voice, the dog didn't look at one pot more often than the other.

The results, published in Current Biology, were almost identical to those seen in 6-month-old human infants. "We were surprised by the high similarity of the performances," Teglas says. "Dogs are receptive to these cues in a way that is very similar to infants."

The precision of the eye-tracking device will allow scientists to develop a new generation of tests on how dogs interact with humans, says Juliane Kaminski, a developmental psychologist at the Max Planck Institute for Evolutionary Anthropology in Leipzig, Germany, who was involved in earlier studies on how dogs interpret finger pointing. "It opens many new opportunities."

Now that the scientists have shown that the test works on dogs, they plan to separate the two factors - eye contact and tone of voice - to test each one's effect on the dog's attention, Teglas says. They also can compare different dog breeds. This may help answer the question of how dogs' skills at interpreting human communication have evolved.

"Dog skills with human communication seem to be a special adaptation to live with humans and the result of certain selection pressures during domestication," Kaminski says. If this is true, researchers would expect dog breeds that have been domesticated the longest to perform best at tests such as gaze following. But don't plan on being able to compare your dog with all the other neighborhood canines - dogs likely interpret the cues from their owner differently than those from a stranger.

Humans are indeed a species i the animal kingdom of animals, and our species is one of the species of great apes in terms of where it fits in the sceme of life. Although you would deny our own niche in the taxonomic nomenclature of living things.

So, humans having sexual intercourse with humans is exactly that; apes having sex with apes.

And nobody here but you is talking about interspecies sex.

Which no doubt comes from you in many ways living in your own little world arrogantly ignoring everything else around you.

Dogs are smart, and domestication has caused the close relationship between humans and canines to evolve and change dogs into a species where those dogs that relate to and understand their masters and other humans do exceedingly far better then others survive and pass along the traits that helped them be successful in the biological niche they are in.

This is not hard a thing to see and understand, and as we see, research backs this up.

Parvorder - Catarrhini [land extended locomotion; like Cercopithecoidea, Old World Monkeys, also included, oldest living ones]

Superfamily - Hominoidea [tail loss, arboreal locomotion reduced to forelimbs (Brachiation); apes, lesser apes, hominoids; like Hylobatidae, Gibbons, also included, oldest living ones]

Species - Proconsul africanus

Family - Hominidae [great apes, hominids; fist-walking; family with Ponginae, Orangutans, also included, oldest living ones, common ancestor with them]

Subfamily - Homininae [or hominines; knuckle-walking; includes gorillas but not orangutans]

Species - Pierolapithecus catalaunicus

Tribe - Hominini [or hominins; includes chimpanzees but not gorillas]

Species - Sahelanthropus tchadensis, possible common ancestor with chimpanzees[citation needed]

Species - Orrorin tugenensis, may be an early species after split with chimpanzees[citation needed]

Subtribe - Hominina [or hominans; orthograde (upright) bipedalism; humans are the only surviving species]

Genus - Ardipithecus [Human lineage]
Genus - Kenyanthropus
Genus - Australopithecus [Human lineage; made tools found]

Genus - Homo [or humans; specific and specialized development of memory/learning/teaching/learning application (learning driven ethology)]

Species - Homo habilis [refined stone technology; earliest fire control]
Species - Homo ergaster [extensive language, complex articulate language]
Species - Homo erectus [fire control, cooking; aesthetic/artistic refinement of tools]
Species - Homo heidelbergensis [possible earliest sanitary burial of deads, accompanied with symbolic/formal supplement]

Species - Homo sapiens [further development and specialization of learning application; active environment transformation, acclimatization and control; infrastructures and advanced technology]

Subspecies - Homo sapiens idaltu

Human taxonomy

As you see from the human taxonomy quoted from the point where it classifies what order our species is categorized under, we are primates. That is just a fact, just like any other in any system which categorizes and classifies in the study of biology.

All great apes evolved from a common ancestor. Nobody contends our ancestors bred with modern offshoots of a common ancestor. To do that, one group or the other wold have to travel through time.

In any case, modern humans are primates. And this is an undeniable fact, whether you chose to believe in evolution or not.
