HELP!! DOG TACOS? WHAT Do I Do?????!


Question:

HELP!! DOG TACOS? WHAT Do I Do?????

I went to visit my cousin (my moms sisters son) in Tijuana. To my surprise they were really well of financially....way better than how I am doing here making $70,000 + a year. He took me around town in his new Escalate to his many taco stands to check how they were doing. Then toward the end of the day he took me to a warehouse full of dogs. I thought it was the Tijuana city dog pound. It smelled really bad and the dogs were not in the best condition. They could hardly move in there small tiny cages. He then told me that that was the secret to his success. I didnt quite understand until he further explained that he used them as fresh meat in his taco stands and that the "gringos" loved the tacos so much that they lined up to eat them and pay top dollars. This is discusting to me because I ate a few of these tacos. What should I do? Should I tell the authorities?? Need advise. I dont want to ruin family relations but I think this is wrong!!!

Oh my gosh! This is so scary! I have been buying tacos from a lady that doesn't speak English. I thought it was so wonderful how she was trying to make money by cooking food. Lately, they have been tasting a little strange. I have kept buying them because I didn't want to hurt her feelings. I was starting to question what she has been making them out of. You hear stuff like that about foreign food. I will no longer buy them from her. That must have been my sign. Please tell. It can be anonymous. You will be saving them. If someone eats one and the dogs have a disease it will be bad for everyone involved. Good Luck. Be sure to let us know what you will do if you vote best answer.

Surely this can't be true. They wonder why I stay in America and don't have no desire to visit anywhere. Yes tell the authorities.

Yes! False advertising and animal abuse is a crime! If people knew what they were eating I am sure they would be appauled.

I would tell the authorities diffidently! It is the best thing to do. Your cousin needs to know that it is not OK to treat animals like this. That is disgusting!!! Even if he was just kidding, he would be charged for animal cruelty. If he uses the meat, he would rack up many health violations AND animal cruelty.
Please tell them, that is disturbing and you will feel better that the service is ended and being taken care of.

Yes, you definitely need to notify the authorities.

Of course you should tell the authorities especially if they are selling as good as you say they are.
Heaps of people are eating them and it only takes one of those dogs that he found (to me it sounds like they are strays) to have a major infection or disease to kill a person or give them the disease and they will have to live with it for the rest of there lives, all because they ate at your cousins taco stand. How would you feel if you got a disease or came close to death (food poisoning) from eating something you loved.

thats just wrong!
and really tough cause you have to chose between family and doing whats right but if you fell its best to tell the authorites put your name under anonymous
