Would (do) you eat dog?

[Jambanja]

Dog got a personality so I won't eat with something that you almost can interract with.

I’ve come across cattle that have been trained to follow simple instructions, your thoughts

Ja but they wont come running wagging their tails every time you come home from work though.

If food is involved then yes they do, just like dogs, my brother breeds pedigree Brahman bulls, when he goes to inspect the calves they come running as soon as they see his bakkie (Ute) , so I disagree

Pavlov’s cow doesn’t quit have the same ring to it somehow.

Apparently donkeys are so clever they can play practical jokes on their masters. I heard a story where this man and his donkey travelled the length of the country for some charity cause. They slept in the veld overnight. The man had a bit of routine in the mornings when he woke up. First thing he would do is grab his water bottle and have a drink. One morning his water bottle was gone. He noticed the donkey just stare at him the whole time. He later found his water bottle hidden behind the only prominent bush about 50 metres away.

There's some emotional and intellectual connection with dogs that you won't have with cows.

Dogs don't only do it when there's food involved they're literally happy to see you. You can go to the shop for ten minutes and when you get home there's old Fido wagging his tail. Calves are silly little fokors they'll buck and frolic when they smell rain approaching. Full grown cows will pick up on routine and you can teach them easily but they're nothing like dogs. They'll just stare at you with those blank eyes and chew on their regurgitated grass. Their tails wag but that's more to do with flies than you.

Cultural food preferences are odd. I have absolutely zero positive feelings towards dogs as pets yet (in fact I'd go as far as saying I hate the things),but I wouldn't be able to eat one unless I was really at the point of desperation.

This, would be quite happy for 90% of the barking footpath shitters to be shot, but seeing their carcasses arranged at the local food market gave me no desire to eat them.

My grandad hand reared one of his sheep. It wagged its tail when he saw my grandad, drove with him all round the farm sitting in the front passenger seat of his bakkie.

Just horse play?

Sheep wag their tails when they take a shit boet. I guess you can make a pet of any animal but you cant teach it to sit on command, roll over, fetch a ball or not to shit in the house. My wife hand reared an abandoned lamb once, the thing followed her everywhere. It was a mission to keep it out of the house. She loved it until it got big and started knocking her over. Almost broke her hip once, it was off to the abattoir soon after.

What did you do with the lamb?
