To a Dog

With eye upraised his master's look to scan,
The joy, the solace, and the aid of man;

The rich man's guardian
and the poor man's friend,
The only creature faithful to the end.

A list of links to articles and letters against eating dogs

Friends of Dogs had enough of all the excuses for eating dogs. We cannot let down our furry friends who have brightened the lives of so many of humans because of cultural relativism and pro-dog meat propaganda. It's about time we voice and spread our objections to eating these beautiful animals. Dogs are our friends. Dogs are not food and should not be killed for consumption. If you come across any articles and letters which state clear objections to both the killing and the monstrous torture of our dogs, please contact us. Please remember that to say firm 'no' to dog meat is the only way we get dogs out of food chain and stop the cruelty associated with superstitious belief that cruelty involved in killing is to increase health benefit. Please circulate the articles in this page far and wide to those who are sympathetic to our cause.
