    It was interesting to see the opposition to it, 64% being higher than I would have thought in a culture that has typically seen it as acceptable.

    It's not something that happens here thankfully, although there's been cases where particular restaurants have been caught out for it, and closed down.

      The culture has changed to the point that kids are called puppies and puppies are called children. The birthrate is super low. The fact is couples live together and raise a canine. Children stores are replaced with puppy and pet supply stores. People have different feelings about dogs than they had 20 years ago. The dog is now a member of the family not just a main dish.

      As for the 36%, some of them are advocates of free speech, but most just got used to the old ways and don't want to change. This Christmas they will rush to their favorite restaurants before the menus have to change in the new year. As for me, I don't think eating animals is a good expression of free speech. It's kind of like mink owners. It's not something to brag about.

      I agree with Oren Lyons on this one:

      I do not see a delegation for the four-footed. I see no seat for the eagles. We forget, and we consider ourselves superior. But we are, after all, a mere part of creation. And we must consider to understand where we are. And we stand somewhere between the mountain and the ant. Somewhere and only there as part and parcel of the creation.
