Eat dogs to keep stray population in check?

March18

Just when you think that govt officials have reached an all-time high in their level of stupidity, here’s comes another one, taken off the March SPCA newsletter :

PETALING JAYA (March 7, 2010): People with a penchant for exotic meat should be allowed to buy dogs from dog pounds for consumption, Veterinary Services Department (VSD) deputy director general Dr Ahmad Suhaimi Omar says.

Ahmad Suhaimi, who made the suggestion at a forum on effective animal pound management organised by the Petaling Jaya City Council’s Canine Advisory Team last week, said people who have no qualms about eating dog meat should be allowed to eat dogs kept in pounds.

“Do we have to keep the dogs at the pounds forever?” he asked. “They are animals, just like chickens or goats,” he added. He said consuming dogs kept in pounds will help to check the number of strays at the pounds and help address any unmanageable increase of strays.
