#2 Man's best friend continues to serve, undeservedly as, man's best friend.

The Manica Post said eating dog meat was the worst thing imaginable for Zimbabweans.

#3 Fido on the braai is strange culinary fare indeed. Far worse however, is the crow the West has been silently dining on for years following the fall of Rhodesia. Native African governance, quite like deer hunting with an accordian. Such highly predictable results. Communist Red China, is there anything at all you can do to assist?

#9 From the CIA Factbook Zimbabwe:

religions: Syncretic (part Christian, part indigenous beliefs) 50%, Christian 25%, indigenous beliefs 24%, Muslim and other 1%.

So what's the problem with eating dog?

Not something you do with animals like them, aka "pets", I'd say?

#17 "Dog meat has been a source of food in parts of China from at least the time of Confucius, and possibly even before. Ancient writings from the Zhou Dynasty referred to the "three beasts"(which were bred for food), including pig, goat, and dog."
