You want nightmares? Here are some nightmares.
One of the commenters said they'd have nightmares about this column. I find that absurd. There are many things going on which are the stuff of nightmares:
Young girls being raped and murdered around the world. Young boys being turned into cold-blooded killers in the Congo. Car bombs shattering a peaceful market scene in Baghdad, creating instead a bloody scene full of charred bodies and sobbing survivors. Children slowly starving to death (because they don't have any DOGS to eat) all over the world. Children being beaten so they'll work faster to make those computer chips you're using now. Young girls being led, unknowing, into a "ceremony" where their genitals are cut off.
And that's just a taster of the things going on TODAY. I was going to go into detailed descriptions of the horrible things that happened in the Nazi concentration camps, but the descriptions were so horrifying I felt they were overboard. Nevertheless, I would encourage those who find eating dogs so terrible to do a little research about what happened to people in the Holocaust: people sent into incinerators, poison gas showers, babies murdered because the mother failed to quiet them, and many, many other terrible things.
Seriously, nightmares about a dead dog? You people need to stop knee-jerking and THINK for a second how ridiculous your argument really is. There are many disgraces occurring in the world today, one of which is the murderous way China crushes political dissent in Tibet. Eating dogs, however, is NOT one of them.
