I Agree they are more than emergency rations. I spent 2 years in South Korea while in the army and there routine things on the menu were dogs, cats and field rats.

When we were caving in rural China in 1993 and living off local rations, the cook finally came up with some really good meat. Consistantly the best we had all month. Turned out to be dog. Then we noticed in the vilages that kids and puppies were frolicking around, as do kids and puppies everywhere. There was a lack of full-grown dogs, except that most families kept a well-cared bitch as a family friend and breeding stock. That observation is non-judgemental. To keep the record straight, I love dogs and have had them most of my adult life. You more mature cavers certainly remember Crooked Thumb and Woola.
