Valentines Day 2006

As usual, I had a very ordinary day; no unusual case for today. I just went around the province and here are some of the interesting things I saw:

1. Mass wedding in DasmariƱas




2. Slaughtering of a dog in DasmariƱas, Sitio Batuhan.




In my humble opinion (Note: I'm not an animal rightist, just an animal welfarist.), dogs specially those kept as pets should not be slaughtered for food. If you really want to eat dog meat, farm them, as they do in Korea or China. In farms, at least, no human-animal bonding is formed.
I don't know if I already have eaten dog meat, as a batchmate in Pampanga serves dog meat occasionally during visits. They have a way of cooking which masks it as lean pork so it's really hard to differentiate. The last time I went there, I didn't pick ANY meat. I opted for vegies instead.
