You are doing amazing work for the dogs and it is my pleasure to highlight your work...a true inspiration. We will soon be heading off to Latin America for another adventure and will hopefully find great projects over there to highlight and help. If you have any contacts in animal organisations in latin America-do let me know. Thanks a million. With love, Tina Noga Dear Ally,

Thank you for your input Thomas. I do think mosquitoes have a right to live and I don’t think you should eat them either which is what the discussion was about :-). Thank you for your input Thomas.

Do dogs and cows have more 'right to life' in the average vegetarian's mind than mosquitos/cockroaches due to the 'cuteness factor' coming into play? I know plenty of vegetarians that would happily kill a mosquito but never a dog or cow. I am very interested in this as I think most vegetarians make their own random distinctions between the insect world, fish world and mammalian world (in terms of their various members' rights to life) - and most vegetarians also assume that certain animals have *more feelings* than others - ie a fish has more feelings than an ant. Tina, do you think we should be able to kill those bloody mosquitoes to prevent them biting us, but should not kill dogs for food?

Thank God dog meat is not a speciality in Thailand. But as far as I have understood it is just a matter of price. I have met many Thai people who said that the only reason why they don't eat dog is that it is very expensive. Scary thought...although as I have mentioned in my previous blogs...I do consider eating a dog the same as eating a cow (to me anyway). I don't feel entitled to eat any of them :-) I am sure Thomas would disagree with me. We can't adopt any dog unfortunately...we are two restless souls and a dog deserve stability. But I will visit the shelter on a regular basis to play with the dogs...they are so lovely. Tina Noga Yes. Thank God dog meat is not a speciality in Thailand.

This is a radical shift from two other countries I visited, first Vietnam where dogs are treated very special, usually served with rice and tomatoes, and then Laos, where they took stray dogs and bused them to Vietnam for special treatment! Good to see someone looking out for the woofers. nels mae sot Terrific!
