#1 Shipping the thousands of strays to Korea, where dog meat is widely consumed in soup...

Except, there are millions of stray dogs in New Delhi alone. They'd make a great cash crop, if you could catch them and clean (not wash) them without the peasants revolting.

The Dog Catchers are routinely chased by residents that like the dogs. They are some mangy curs too! The dogs that is, but, some of the residents too.

#2 Industrially processing the stray dogs for food would be one helluva a lot more humane than what Vick was doing to his animals.

#3 Most of the stray dogs I saw in Bangalore (I doubt New Delhi is any different) looked like they were near starvation. It would take a lot of them to make a decent meal. Of course, the North Koreans would probably be glad for anything.

I suppose it depends on the neighborhood, in Muslim 'hoods the dogs are SOL, same with the slums. But in your middle middle-class 'hood, quite a few of the dogs are rather plump, as the people feed them.

You've never smelled dog crap until you've smelled it from a dog fed on curry and chapatis. Also, it depends on how well the garbage is handled for any given area, which in India can be a wide variable.

Jeebus, just reading that gives me the heebie-jeebies. Feeding my wolf-hybrid some cheese produces emanations that simultaneously violate multiple sections of the Geneva Conventions. Curry and chapatis? Geddouddahere!
