News Forum - Pet peeve: Thai man eats dog in rage after it bit nephew (video)
Right, and in Southeast Asia and as far north as Korea, a subset of dogs became meat domesticates. (Northern Chinese ceased this in the neo-Confucian period. And became sentimentalised as pets, maybe imitating Europeans, under the Ming. Japanese ceased this with Buddhism.) These dogs ate plenty starches from human leftovers, which bulked them up. Also although these Asian to Polynesian canines are often said to be vegetarian, they had free roam and autonomously seized upon rodents and the like. They did not take large prey, either alone or with human companions. This is surely not the original relationship that led to dog domestication. But the way humans in Europe regard dogs, is also atypical. Arabs and Bantu use dogs for hunting, but they are free roaming or housed outside the house. It is the familiarity and intimacy of Europeans and related peoples with dogs, that is special. Not the practice of hunting with dogs, as you said. I think an explanation might be seen in Aussie Aboriginals, living where winters or nights are cold. There, dingos were aloof and only semi-domesticated, but they accompanied men in hunting, and women in foraging, an act that disturbed suitable prey such as goannas. Nonetheless, the dingos have another use to the Australians: they would join aboriginal people as live bedding at night time. Hunting cooperation of the kind seen in Australia, is not unique to that continent. In South America and Central Africa, similar uses of the dog in hunting are common, yet they don't come into human living spaces. The dog is rare among utility domesticates in that regard. -
