Paea Taufu, a Tongan-born man living in Auckland New Zealand was in the process of roasting his pitbull terrier-cross in a traditional Umu pit-barbecue when animal protection inspectors arrived to investigate.

They were called by a concerned member of the public on Sunday but arrived too late for the animal.

Dog meat is considered an acceptable fare in Tonga. "Dog, horse, we eat it in Tonga. It's good food for us," said Lupi Taufu, Paea's wife.

Under New Zealand's Animal Welfare Act it is legal to kill a dog providing the slaughter is done quickly and painlessly.

But the local Society for the Protection of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) has criticised the actions. "I find it quite disturbing that someone would kill a pet and then eat it. I'm not okay with that but unfortunately the law allows you to do it," SPCA Inspector Derek Haddy told reporters.

Taufu was not aware that he was doing something uncommon in New Zealand but indicated he would not kill another dog to avoid offending anyone in the future.

I don't really know what to say

It's the fact that you're allowed to kill a dog that concerns me... Also, the man could have checked the laws in New Zealand before killing something

What does BF2s think?

farmers eat their "pets"

Farmers that keep pigs/cattle/sheep dont view them as pets, more as income.

I don't get this whole "pet" thing. He's got an animal, he wants to eat it, he kills it humanely, the fuck is the problem?

Different countries, different systems. The quote you provided said it's customary for their culture to do such things. They might find it fucking awful that you eat Chickens and Lamb etc.. who knows. I don't give a shit if there are people out there that eat dogs and horses. It's part of their world. The only reason dogs and horse etc.. is so taboo in most Western cultures is because dogs are considered companions and horses as vital transport.

You could say the same thing about Cows and India, the reason why eating Cow is so taboo is because of how useful it is perceived to be.

Who's to say this dog was his pet anyway, you guys just made that bit right up because you automatically assume dog = pet.

Seriously, people need to open their minds up more.

You know you fail when Mek's telling you to be more open minded.

The cow is also considered sacred, hence no making steaks or burgers.

The sacredness came about in the first place from the perceived usefulness (thousands of years ago), that's how most religion works, it's all built up from ancient traditions and rules and customs for the most part.

If people own the animal, I don't see the harm in them eating it.

If you eat someone else's pet though... there's a problem.

I'm horrified. But different cultures do different things. Which isn't always a good thing.

Unless he tortured it, who cares? Humans do much more terrible things to each other, every day.

One less Pitbull in Auckland is a good thing, trust me. There are massive underground dogfighting rings there. There are a lot of dog thefts - dogfighters steal other people's pets to use them as "bait" for their fighting dogs. They break the stolen dog's legs, beat them up and then sic their attack dogs on them. The poor animals get ripped to shreds and are unable to defend themselves.

My point is that a Tongan dude killing and roasting a dog is pretty light compared to this shit.

What does BF2s think?

- The dog was killed humanely
- The act of killing/eating it was legal
- The family raised it knowing that they may one day eat it - it was a pet, but was also livestock.

No issue IMO.

Besides, if you think thats bad you should see what Aussies do to sheep when they think nobody is looking. I wont say what, but lets just say their lamb is rather...tenderised...by the time it reaches their dinner plates

It is customary for the Tongans, as long as he killed it quickly its no different to a pig or cow or lamb.
