Why do people ALWAYS say that CHINESE people EAT CATS/DOGS?!?!??!?

vietnamese people do eat dog and are not shy about it. sorry you got offended by ignorance.

They say it because its TRUE.Next time you have Chicken chow mien- check it out-They are Claws- not Nuts-meow.xx

because some do..not all do, but some

People eat all kinds of things that are seen as strange or weird by other people who do not eat them. It's nothing to get upset about.

Offensive misconceptions and stereotypes imposed on the rest of the world by ignorant Hollywood producers and the American Education System are the cause. It's like saying that all Latin Americans are dirt poor, drug dealing, and unethical, or that Mexicans drink tequila, take their noon siesta, live in adobe pueblos, ride burros, sleep in trees, eat tacos and are crooks of the worst kind. Things some cultures find disgusting may not be so for other cultures. I've also heard that Chinese eat rats, and that these are a delicacy. I know they eat shark fin soup and maybe that is not appetizing enough for others. It's all a matter of taste, unfortunately society takes the simplistic view and generalizes without making any kind of distinction because they don't know better.

Most countries eat things that are repugnant to others. The Chinese ate these things years ago, to survive, so did the American Indians. Some religions sanctify cows, and won't eat beef, but most Americans do. It all comes down to your culture.

Some do. And we eat cows. This is considered disguisting (and sacreligious) in some cultures. What really is the difference? Dogs, cats, cows, pigs, horses, etc. it's all the same. So i don't eat any of them!

cuz they DO. it tastes like chicken ;)

I dont care what is offensive to anyone when I know that I am right. I know for a fact that Koreans will eat a dog...because I have seen pictures of Korea and seen them hanging dead from racks where they sell them. In the Phillipines, they eat monkey, it is on long sticks that you eat it off of. If I got hungry enough I would eat a dog with the best of them, dont get me wrong. The fact is, Chinese people have and some still do eat dogs, sorry if you dont like it, but if you are Chinese and you want to live here in America, you are probably going to have to grow some thicker skin if you know what I mean. Americans have done plenty that I am ashamed of....but the truth hurts sometimes.
