Ⅵ.阅读理解
The first time I saw dog meat, I cried. I was walking down a small side street in an
ancient town located in Yunnan Province, when I noticed a terrible smell. I became curious to find out the source of it, and noticed a man selling a type of meat I was unfamiliar with. It was proved to be dog meat. While I gave the seller a dirty look and quickly moved on, others casually walked by without noticing. Instantly I tried to imagine what the short life of this dog was like. For an animal that gives me so much joy, which has unique personalities and displays human-like emotions, it's hard to comprehend why a human wants to kill and eat such a creature.
I have asked a number of people about their thoughts on dog meat. An old American man who lives in Taizhou, Jiangsu Province recalls waiting for winter so he can select a dog to be dished up, just as one can select a fish to be served in a seafood restaurant. He says you know you are eating dog meat because of the strong smell and taste unlike any other meat. On the contrary, another old American recalls being invited out to dinner and witnessing a paw clinging to the inside of a hot pot. His reaction was to politely decline the invitation to eat this hot dish and stick to the fried rice. One Chinese woman I know hates seeing dog meat on the streets, as it reminds her of her pet dog QQ which was stolen. She later found her dog on the street to be served as a snack. Many young Chinese I talked to refuse to eat dog meat because they have dogs as pets, and can't imagine eating dog meat for lunch. However, their grandparents seem to recall a time when they ate dog meat, and they would be very happy with a dog leg.
