Wikibooks:Requests for deletion/Cookbook:Grilled Dog

I am aware that Wiki projects are not censored but I really don't think this Cookbook page should be hosted here. Firstly it doesn't seem serious and was probably originally created as a joke. What do people think? I'm really not sure but if this was once someone's idea of a joke long ago then it's a pretty long joke.--ЗAНИA talk 23:07, 21 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Sadly I will go for a keep, since it seems factual, in any case a warning could be in order, killing dogs may be illegal in some jurisdictions. It could also be more strongly worded since human-dog relation is historically significant, also a mention of the lack of quality control regarding the meat would also be important and a dissuasive. I personally would not consider eating a domesticated dog unless in dire circumstances, mostly because of my understanding of the mentality of the animal (this would be similar to eating any primate meat), but the threshold would not be the same for a domestic cat or a wolf, even if that would not be something that I would look forward to eat. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 23:31, 21 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Though it pains me to vote this way too. The very thought of eating a dog disgusts me too (it is forbidden in the Bible), but to censor it here for that reason would be taking a step towards a precipice.  They are commonly eaten in the Pacific and in Asia.  As an aside - when Lewis an Clark arrived at the Pacific Ocean, they camped for the winter on the greatest salmon fishery in the world - and ate dog.  They bought the dogs from the Clatsop who raised them for their hair, and who thought the Corps of Discovery were barbarians for eating them. --Jomegat (discuss • contribs) 23:50, 21 October 2011 (UTC)


 * I would vote for removal, although since it is part of other cultures I will remain neutral, wikipedia says it could be potentially fatal (Dog_meat), due to vitamin poisoning, as the dog is overly rich in vitamin A, it's also possible for the dog to transmit rabies via the meat, and it has already killed people in Asia(see article), if we keep we should at least make some sort of warning.

 * Seems factual. Warnings should be crafted and deployed, of course, but that's because there should be warnings; nothing to do with possible deletion.  To remind, a noteworthy precedent in the realm of Cookbook non-censorship is Cookbook:Placenta.  --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 00:51, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm happy if people wish to keep it. Some kind of warnings would be good.  The comparison with eating placenta doesn't work for me as that is accepted and rather normal but maybe that's a western-eastern cultural difference.  Thinking more I can see that some Americans (and British?) might consider eating horse as strange but for me it's great.--ЗAНИA [[Image:Flag_of_Italy.svg|15px]]talk 00:55, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * A warning is the precedent for recipes like this. Cookbook:Magic Brownie is another one that survived deletion with a warning added. --dark lama  14:42, 22 October 2011 (UTC)
 * Well, thanks for the placenta link, I'm going to go throw up now. Hethrir (discuss • contribs) 00:16, 23 October 2011 (UTC)


 * Added a warning see if you can improve on it. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 18:20, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
 * I copyedited it somewhat. --Pi zero (discuss • contribs) 19:31, 23 October 2011 (UTC)


 * It also would be interesting to add the information and considerations we discussed into the content presented in the page Cookbook:Dog. --Panic (discuss • contribs) 19:50, 23 October 2011 (UTC)
