  • Dog Meat Politics in a Vietnamese Town
    DOG MEAT POLITICS IN A VIETNAMESE TOWN Nir Avieli Ben Gurion University In 1999 there were only two semi-clandestine dog-meat restaurants in Hoi An, a town in Central Vietnam. In 2004 there were dozens, serving mostly men of the new middle class. This article explores the sudden popularity of dog meat in Hoi An and discusses its meanings. Based on traditional forms, eating dog meat expresses masculinity. While class distinctions, religious propensities, and pro- cesses of modernization shape local attitudes regarding this culinary trend, the overarching theme that explains the sudden proliferation of dog-meat restau- rants in Hoi An is political and has to do with the diners’ attitude towards the regime: eating dog meat expresses political allegiance, while avoiding it indi- cates disdain. (Dog meat, politics, masculinity, Confucianism, Vietnam) Dog-meat restaurants and eating dog meat have long been popular in the North of Vietnam, but not in the Center and South. In 1999, there were only a couple of places serving dog meat in Hoi An, a town in Central Vietnam. One was hidden in a maze of alleys beyond the town’s ancient quarter; the other was located outside the town, by a small country road. The signs for both restaurants read “Thit Cay” and not “Thit Cho” (dog meat). Cay, according to my Vietnamese language teacher, “is a kind of fox and a euphemism for dog meat in the Center and South, used to camouflage places selling dog meat.” But in 2004, there were dozens of eating venues throughout the town announcing “Thit Cho.” This rapid development of a culinary fashion stimulated exploring why dog meat became popular so quickly, and if any meanings were attributed to eating it.

Many people have dogs as pets and through this relationship with dogs we’ve come to learn about them and care deeply for them. But are dogs really that different from other animals we eat?

  • Dog Meat Trade in South Korea: a Report on the Current State of the Trade and Efforts to Eliminate It
    DOG MEAT TRADE IN SOUTH KOREA: A REPORT ON THE CURRENT STATE OF THE TRADE AND EFFORTS TO ELIMINATE IT By Claire Czajkowski* Within South Korea, the dog meat trade occupies a liminal legal space— neither explicitly condoned, nor technically prohibited. As a result of ex- isting in this legal gray area, all facets of the dog meat trade within South Korea—from dog farms, to transport, to slaughter, to consumption—are poorly regulated and often obfuscated from review. In the South Korean con- text, the dog meat trade itself not only terminally impacts millions of canine lives each year, but resonates in a larger national context: raising environ- mental concerns, and standing as a proxy for cultural and political change. Part II of this Article describes the nature of the dog meat trade as it oper- ates within South Korea; Part III examines how South Korean law relates to the dog meat trade; Part IV explores potentially fruitful challenges to the dog meat trade under South Korean law; similarly, Part V discusses grow- ing social pressure being deployed against the dog meat trade.

This work evaluated the proximate composition of fresh heart, intestine, kidneys, liver, lungs and muscle of dog meat bought from indigenous dog sellers. One way ANOVA in Paleontological Statistics Software Version 2.17 was used to analyze data. The results revealed moisture content of 80.10% in intestine, lungs 79.35%, muscle 74.38%, heart 72.66%, and kidney 71.31%, liver 70.70%. Crude protein 26.15% in liver, heart 20.21%, muscle 18.42%, lungs 18.05%, intestine 14.54% and 12.84% in kidney. Others include Crude fiber 1.12% in heart, liver 1.05%, intestine 0.79%, muscle 0.70%, kidney 0.58% and lungs 0.49%. Crude fat 12.75% in kidney, muscle 5.69%, heart 5.27%, intestine 2.55%, liver 1.32% and lungs1.20%. Ash 2.49% in kidney, muscle 0.78%, intestine 0.75%, heart 0.71%, lung 0.60% and liver 0.40% . Others include free nitrogen (1.27%), calcium (0.18%) and phosphorus (0.21%) highest in the muscle and lungs. Statistical significant difference existed in the composition of the different parts of the meat (p<0.05). It is concluded that dog meat has the entire vital nutritional components requisition of man and the different parts may have health implications for the aged, children, and diabetic and hepatitis B patients.
