Students eat stray dogs

Foreign students in Cyprus are eating stray dogs.

Six Chinese students are reported to have told immigration officials they had captured strays and eaten them.

Police in Nicosia say the students will not face criminal charges for animal cruelty. Dog meat is widely eaten in eastern Asia.

Immigration Department officer Sotiris Tryfonos told the Cyprus Mail: "In a routine check at a Nicosia flat where Chinese students live, officers found bones, which apparently belonged to animals."

The paper says the students admitted eating the dogs and that a couple of live animals destined for the pot were found in their flat.

They are believed to have fed them special food to clean their systems then slaughtered and cooked them.

It is illegal to eat cats and dogs in Cyprus but officers say it is hard to prove they actually ate the dogs.

Animal welfare groups had suspected Satanists were taking the animals for black magic rituals.

They are warning the public to keep an eye on people wanting to adopt cats and dogs.

Veterinarian Zacharias Evangelou warned dogs could carry serious disease that could be transmitted to humans, and that eating them was not very wise.


I know that asians eat dogs and other stuff but they should of known that it is not acceptable outside of their own country.

Thats just horrible!!!!!!

nothing surprises me, after seeing dogs in various countries

OMG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm a member of a danish dogforum too. And last year a chinese guy (adopted) were having a visit from his birthmum and was looking for a dog..... for supper................

And this is not a racist remark!! He said himself he was chinese.

Just so i wont be misunderstood.....

just to throw a question into the pot (so to speak)

WHY do we think its ok to eat some animals but not others?

Good point, but poor dogs!!
