Finally the mainstream news (the Toronto Sun cover today) is covering an issue

we've been aware of for a long time!

St. Bernard outrage

Activists say China breeds giant dogs to eat

By BRAD HONYWILL and MICHAEL CLEMENT -- Toronto Sun

 

 

Dogs are raised for food in several Asian nations, but the rearing of St.

Bernards for their size is a new practice, activists say. These " regular " dogs

at Xi Chang abattoir market are table-bound.

 

Animal-rights activists are snarling at China over allegations of widespread

torturing and eating of St. Bernard dogs.

 

They're trying to take the giant dogs off Chinese menus by serving up

information about the practice to the International Olympic Committee.

 

People concerned about animal welfare say China -- where dogs have been raised

for the table for centuries -- is breeding St. Bernards for food. Other Asian

countries including the Philippines and Korea also raise dogs to eat.
