    Except it’s not. The reason the methheads do it is because they know they can still get food and they get meth instead. If they just used the food stamps for food they’d have an incredible excess. The reason people buy the half priced food is because that frees up money for the other bills imposed on them by private companies. That’s not a food crisis, there’s not a lack of food.

    In this story not only is there not a lack of food, people are paying MORE MONEY in order to eat dog than other meats. Pork is cheaper than dog everywhere both are sold, which for pork is the entire country. The dog was sold to a restaurant, which brings UP THE PRICE OF FOOD. The dog wasn’t stolen to be eaten out of need, which the thief would have just done themselves.

    Alternative story with the same cause and effect without the western attachment to a specific livestock as a pet: Celebrity pet Ayam Cemani Chicken stolen and sold to restaruant.
