What's the betting that they end up "in the pot"?

only the men were replicants, the animals are merely artificial. /pedant

There is a huge assumption here that its genetics that determine the dogs willingness to play ball...or rather not play ball and play sniff sniff...

I think I should add that this might be in the new edition of the local cook book - "100 ways to wok your dog"

"only the PEOPLE were replicants, the animals are merely artificial. /pedant"

There, fixed that for you ...

I can never quite understand why everyone is so ready to poke fun at South-east Asians for eating dog. Diet varies across the globe, get used to it, it's what makes travelling so interesting.

The Vietnamese pot-bellied pig is kept as a pet; does that mean we should stop eating pork?

Other countries are just as happy to eat horse meat, dog, kangaroo, goat, etc.; just because we are entirely unadventurous and let our eating habits be controlled by a few major food supplier chains doesn't mean everyone else is wrong.

Yes, but after the "a dog's not just for Christmas, its very nice in sandwiches on Boxing day" campaign there's a whole new realm of "now there's a dog for everyday" advert.

If they clone a sniffer dog, does that mean that they already react to what the original dog was trained to react to?

If so, is this a case of deja phew?

Couldn't they have cloned Paris, so that she has a freeky paranoia of video cameras in the bedroom? Otherwise, maybe it should have been the jacket.....

personally I wouldn't want to eat anything that spends half its life licking its own arse and the other half licking its balls.

Call me old fashioned.

yes ian, exactly right. its high time the supermarket chains in this country made dog meat available to the masses. i've always said us stuffy, unadventurous brits need to bloody well cast aside our conservative tastes and eat more domestic animals. personally, i'd like to see hamsters, guineau pigs and cute kitty cats on the menu in mcdonalds too. let the cavery commence.

Seeing as we're going to branch out our nation's tastes for [The Other White Meat]s, I've got A Modest Proposal for you...

"personally I wouldn't want to eat anything that spends half its life licking its own arse and the other half licking its balls." but eating animals that spend half their life eating their own vomit (cows/ruminants) or faeces (rabbits), or anything that will fit in its mouth (pigs) doesn't upset you?

Dog is actually quite tasty: very lean meat, firm texture, slightly nutty flavour. Try it sometime - you can have my neighbour's yappy little thing after I kill it for waking me up at 6am on a Saturday next time!

I prefer salted and dried dog (like biltong, only with salt).
