Man barbecues pet dog (humanely)

The SPCA is calling for a review of the Animal Welfare Act following an incident where a man cooked his pet dog in a backyard barbecue.

South Auckland man Paea Taufa was found roasting his pitbull terrier-cross in an umu pit at his home in Mangere, south Auckland.

The dog had been skinned and gutted and was partially charred when SPCA inspectors arrived.

Mr Taufa said he was surprised when inspectors arrived, because dog was a delicacy in Tonga.

He had decided to cook the dog because it was too skinny and had become unmanageable. He rendered the dog unconscious with a blow to the head before slitting its throat, which is regarded as humane.

Under the Animal Welfare Act it is legal to kill a dog in New Zealand if the animal is slaughtered swiftly and painlessly.

But SPCA Auckland chief executive Garth Halliday is calling for a review of the Animal Welfare Act to ensure such practices are condemned in the future.

"Clearly this culture is totally unacceptable in New Zealand, however, we must understand that to certain immigrants from the Pacific Islands the practice is considered normal.

"The law as it stands does not allow the SPCA to prosecute those who indulge in this habit if the animal is killed humanely, as it was in this case, neither does the law condemn the eating of domestic pets," Mr Halliday said.

He said the SPCA agreed with Auckland Mayor John Banks, who said the focus needed to be on education.

The Auckland SPCA, with the NZ Companion Animal Council, will produce multi-lingual brochures to provide basic animal welfare guidelines to island immigrants.

The Royal New Zealand SPCA has also voiced its concern, and will talk to Tongan community leaders about preventing the killings of dogs for human consumption.

The SPCA will also ask the New Zealand Food Safety Authority to impose firmer standards on what can or cannot be eaten.

Royal New Zealand SPCA national chief executive Robyn Kippenberger said the issue might be viewed differently from other cultures.

"But we believe that the overwhelming majority of New Zealanders of all ethnicities will share our shock and concern over this incident.

"Over the next few days, we hope to talk to Tongan community leaders and enlist their involvement in making the community more aware that slaughtering and eating pets is unacceptable."

Ms Kippenberger also planned to raise the animal welfare and human health risks involved in backyard killings with Pacific Island Affairs Minister Georgina Te Heu Heu.

She will be seeking the minister's involvement in discouraging this practice.

"In addition, we will be contacting the New Zealand Food Safety Authority and pressing for more robust standards over what can or cannot be eaten. The fact is that animals such as this domestic dog, slaughtered in back yards, may be disease-ridden and unsuitable for human consumption.

Ad Feedback "Although home slaughter is not inherently illegal, much of it fails to meet the humane standards required by our animal welfare legislation. We will also, therefore, be fully investigating what can be done to prevent the slaughter for consumption of dogs and other domestic animals under the current law," Ms Kippenberger said.

SPCA inspectors said there was evidence that killing and eating dogs was becoming more common in New Zealand.

Mr Taufa said he would not cook another dog.

While butchering any living things can be inhumane in general, this is totally normal to other culture. Take my ancestors for instance, they butchered pigs and chicken, and birds, and snakes and ducks, and in other countries they eat whatever animal they can find to survive.

I've had my share of all that and if you crossed me, I wouldn't mind barbecuing your dog, myself. :yes:

it's interesting that killing would/could/should be considered to be either "humane" or "inhumane".

You're ending a life! Better be a bloody good reason! "Me hungry -- must kill and roast flesh to perfection!" okay! fine! but do it FAST -- and effectively!
the whole attack, invasion and current economy-crippling, long-term occupation of Iraq pivotted, at least partly, on the imagery of Muslims - especially Saddam Hussein, at the time -- beheading those they (he) had determined must die! You have one stellar scimitar-guy -- who knows nothing if he don't know death by the sword -- practices constantly -- must be rough on the wife and kids! around the TV dinners! lol --
Yet there's nothing more humane! than a quick beheading! oh, the sharper the blade the better!
sure, yer gonna twitch a little -- but that's it! (will feel none of it)
don't take it personally tho -- oh, right -- you won't! that's yer nerve endings, signing out!

but consider this, all you gunners out there: a 50 calliber machine-gun round can enter and exit your abdomen in 1/500th of a second at 200 yards -- er so -- but leave a body of your intended "kill" in writhing pain for days --

a howitzer round will kill instantly -- sure! -- but is intended to take down anything in proximity -- horrific wounds result, that happen in a flash -- removes your arms your legs and everything else dangling, once, and snaps your neck --but doesn't dispatch quite so quickly -- suffer you bastard!
a 500 lb. bomb -- unloaded at 20,000 feet over a target -- to do it's dirty, inhumane work somewhere below -- is purely barbarous!
yet we rage on at the means some Muslim Arabs do employ in dispensing mercy?

and figure we're absolutely correct about that...

it's just that f'd up! that bent out of shape! that upside-down!

I've eaten moose! deer! ducks! pheasant! partridge! black bear! even lynx!-- it wasn't my idea to eat black bear and lynx -- just happened that I was present when bears had to be killed -- they were attempting to pillage our food cache -- had 40 people campled out in the middle of nowhere -- in Northern Manitoba

the cook was both an excellent shot and an excellent butcher

also just happened to be with a trapper, in the north, doing his rounds, in winter, and found the lynx there, in a leg-hold trap -- it was bad -- he'd been trying to get loose for a few days -- my trapper pal shot him in seconds --

It's true, there shouldn't be any killing at all, whether be human or animal but to some, it's what they call survival, Flick, nothing personal intended. And some cultures are just how and what they are, we can't do anything about it.

People sell animals like, chickens, ducks, pigs, goats, etc. to be fed to humans, mostly for celebrations. When my grandfather died, they butchered 11 pigs to feed the whole town, that's culture. Is it inhumane? Well, yes, anything that involves killing is inhumane but when it's tradition and culture, there's not a lot we can do about it. Here's another one for you, some cultures (including mine) they kill animals softly in ritual. :yes: The don't go on gunning the animals though, they buy them.
