Do Japanese people eat pandas

Answer 1

If you're not Japanese, please do not assume and deny what a real Japanese person is saying on here, because what would you know? It's very true as the first person said. Do not get cultures mixed up. Japanese people do not eat dogs. There is a small population who enjoy eating fish, whale, dolphin, and who kill a lot of dolphins in the rural area. It's famous for "people by the sea" eaters and also island eaters. These men are Japanese with very tanned skin. City adults or the generation nowadays of course do not eat dolphins. I do not agree with the old generation. Just like I don't agree with dog eating in China or Korea regardless if it's a specific type of dog. But, then again, I don't agree with the billions of cows, chicken and pigs being slaughtered either. Inhaling their food and not knowing their limits. I'm a Vegan but I admit I have eggs once in a while. I wish people lived off tofu and fresh vegetables, but that's another story.

I grew up in Japan and I know we don't eat dogs and cats. We do eat whales which is controversial, I think. (deep fried whale meat was my favorite school lunch) I never knew that we eat dolphins in Japan but I guess it is in a small rural area. I have a Korean friend and she told me Koreans eat dogs but it is a specific breed that is raised for food. It's not like eating their pets! Americans eat deer, right? and yogurt that has corn starch in it! (sorry, bad joke)

Only in a small part of Japan, called Taiji, they eat dolphin and it's only once a year as part of their culture. Japanese people DO NOT EAT DOGS, OR CATS. Plus dolphin meat contains a high amount of mercury so it's not really good for you either.

********** No, Taiji is where the dolphins are primarily hunted down in droves and slaughtered. Some are hand-selected by dolphin trainers for "Dolphinariums" or "Seaquariums" [aka torture chambers]. The remaining live ones are then killed and sold in markets. All dolphins not picked are killed with harpoons, bats, knives, etc. It doesn't matter if it's a baby dolphin, a mother dolphin, a pregnant dolphin, or a young adult dolphin. If they can't sell you to the "Dolphinarium" or "Seaquarium", you will be killed. No lives are spared. Dolphin hunting season is typically from March to September and is wholly legalized and supported by the Japanese government. What's worst of it is that dolphin meat is highly toxic with mercury and is not healthy for human consumption. Maybe that's the positive of it, that those that consume the meat of these wonderful creatures will likely meet their own sick demise.

Answer 2

No, Japanese do not eat dogs. They have plenty of other types of meat around. On the off chance that you see an Asian in Japan devour a dog, it could be illegal immigrants from China who may be jobless and fear deportation to their country, so they resort to scrounging whatever source of protein they may find in the streets.

Answer 3

Of course they dont! it would be bad for the environment as panda's are part of the endangered species!There aren't much panda's in the world so if people ate them they would certainly be extinct!

While almost everything else seems to be on the menu in Japan, dishes made from dogs, cats, and monkeys are not present. The same cannot be said for China or Korea, however.
