| Narcisso was driving down a country road, doing about 35 or 40 mph, when he looked over and a 6-legged dawg passed him. Narcisso sped up and the dawg looked over his shoulder and sped up, too, leaving Narcisso in the dust at 60 miles an hour. Scratching his head, he kept driving, until he came to a little farm by the side of the road. There was Hector and the missus and their four kids, selling fruit from a stand. "I just saw a six-legged dawg run right by me!" he said to Hector. "One of mine," Hector responded. "Wanna buy some fruit?" "Where'd you get six-legged dawgs?" Narcisso asked. "We bred 'em. When we cook dog I like the leg. So's my wife. Trouble is, so do each of the kids. So we bred six-legged dogs so we could all have some." "Well, I'll be! And how do they taste?" "I dunno. We ain't caught one yet!" |
Police Officer Renato Niturada says the 400kg of dog meat in 10 sacks were confiscated on Sunday from a van at a checkpoint in northern Pangasinan province. Mr Niturada said on Tuesday the van driver was charged with violating animal welfare law. He faces up to two years in jail or a fine of up to 5,000 pesos (S$152).
Killing dogs for meat is illegal. But dog meat is a delicacy in northern Philippines, where back-street restaurants serve it despite protests from animal rights advocates. Mr Niturada says the dog carcasses were buried at a public cemetery.
