Muliebriamania...You took my comments the wrong way. I mean that people in the US that are not originally from Asia, etc. would NEVER eat their pet. Dogs are very smart and have created better home environments for so many people. I am not at all a tree hugger type and I would never shop at a store that sells poor little HOUSEHOLD pets. You say that no one would notice? That is one of the most outrageous things i've ever heard. One store in the US starts to sell dog or cat...the media would be on that so fast. I would be one to call the local news.
