This story is very sick. Why wasn't I surprised to find out that there are recipes for dog online. At least I'm not posting this in the Good Eats forum. http://www.cnn.com/2014/07/30/justice/new-mexico-dog-killed/index.html?htp=hp12 (CNN) -- Onyx was 9 months old, black and white, part dachshund and part chihuahua. She was a family dog, one that Mandy Malone kept in part to play with her grandchildren. Until Onyx ended up in Malone's freezer. How did she get there? According to a criminal complaint filed in a Torrance County, New Mexico, court, the dog was stabbed in the heart and skinned. Parts of the animal were then buried in the backyard, while others were stashed inside a bag in a freezer. "He had her marinating in Italian dressing in the fridge," Malone told CNN affiliate KOAT. "...What could possibly go through someone's mind to do something that sick?" Authorities characterized the man they say killed the dog as Malone's boyfriend. Salvador Martinez was released Wednesday on bond tied to the felony charge of extreme cruelty to animals, Torrance County Sheriff Heath White said. The sheriff predicted he wouldn't be free for long. "He was already on probation for trafficking drugs and ... violated his probation, so he's likely going to be picked back up ... and sent back to a federal facility," White said Wednesday. Martinez's latest legal trouble began Friday, July 18, when sheriff's deputies responded to a call at an Edgewood, New Mexico, residence. They found a gray plastic bag "containing some bones and meat (that) appeared to be a carcass of an animal," the complaint said. Authorities said Martinez admitted he had killed the dog, saying there was no food around and his girlfriend "told him to go ahead" and do it. After killing the animal, skinning it and burying parts of it in the yard, "he said that he ... found (a) recipe for dogs online" and found states where eating dogs is allowed, the complaint says. New Mexico is one such place; in fact, there are no laws against eating cats or dogs in most states. In some cultures, it's more widely accepted. "But it's the manner that it was done, and the emotional stress it put on the rest of the family, that led us to arrest him and charge him with animal cruelty," White said. Martinez could not be reached for comment and it was unclear late Wednesday if he had an attorney. The girlfriend told the deputies that Martinez admitted killing the dog around noon of that day, explaining "it was all right to do this in New Mexico to feed your family." She disputed the assertion that they didn't have food in the house. Malone told KOAT that Martinez had previously told her, "just out of the blue, 'I'm going to barbeque one of your dogs.'" But she didn't believe it -- then or now. "Nobody knows what to think," Malone said.

You know, I originally thought this was a hot dog question and I was going to make a Fido joke but .... nah.
While stationed in Korea I joined the camp softball team to help pass the time. For those that don't know the U.S. has lots of camps scattered across S. Korea with different functions. They all play each other in the league play. One of them and I can't recall the name (maybe camp stanley) had a freaking dog farm just off the right field line. It was elevated so you never saw the dogs but you knew they were penned up and you knew they were being beaten and then killed. I guess the thought was opposite from that of cattle and that the more wound up and excited you got the animal prior to killing it the better it would be to eat. I always hated playing there because those poor dogs NEVER stopped crying for someone to come and save them. You just don't get used to something like that. Makes it really hard to not look at any Korean with a certain amount of disdain because they not only tolerate this but embellish it as a delicacy.
I read your post this morning on my phone as I was eating an apple turnover and drinking coffee at a Mary Lee Donuts this morning. I have been going there off and on for years and the owner is a very nice Korean man. Of course I was aware of the fact that Koreans ate dogs but I had never thought about in relation to the Donut shop owner until now. Now I think of him as a combination of Michael Vick and Jeffrey Dahmer. During the 1988 Olympics NBC would should scenes from around the city of Seoul. One night they were showing all the weird things that you could buy from street vendors. One vendor had a bunch of cages and each cage had a cute dog that was barely grown out of puppyhood. They were not being sold as pets.
