All rescue centres do a home visit here, is that the case over
there too Sherry?


Here, pretty much every humane society or rescue org. is independent and
governed by its own Board of Directors. So, it just depends on which one,
individually, you're dealing with. IMO, the good ones do, and check vet and
landlord references also.

About 20 yrs ago, the Boat People from Laos, Vietnam, and other
southeast Asia immigrated here to southern California by the tens of
THOUSANDS. These (lucky) people would go to local animal shelters
and get cats and dogs ... as many as they could carry. They would
take them home and ... cook them ... for food.


Oh, bull****. That's an urban myth if I ever heard one. Even at the local
municipal POUND, the adoption fee for an animal is as much as $70. Humane
Societies are usually just as high, and require an application and home check
too. I seriously doubt *anyone* is going to pay upwards of $75 to acquire a cat
for food.

Reality check, Sherry. I had these BBQ's going on next door to me
for nearly a year when I lived in Garden Grove, CA. I saw this over
the fence, first hand. Dog doesn't smell like chicken! One dish is
called tomagogi. At the time if I recall correctly, there was a $7
adoption fee for neutered animal. Feeding your family for $7 plus
charcoal is pretty cheap. Once the word got out, the adoption price
was raised considerably.

BTW, I believe the Swiss are also a large consumer of dog meat.
