Such a weird comment. Are you proud of large-scale animal abuse or what exactly is the point you are trying to make here? As someone born in the former Soviet Union, “Russia does things this way” is not a good thing.
Nope, not proud. Russia is definitely fucked up. Just bringing up an interesting fact, I do seriously wonder though, why these dietary restriction aren’t generally known in Russia, and it is interesting that the dogs do handle it. I even know one family that specifically makes an very onion based dish for their dog as a treat because she likes it so much, with no ill effect.
For the record, I avoid giving my dog anything that is considered in-appropriate by American standards.
