“The same way, you know Dagartis and Frafras are play mates and some honourable friends [MPs] here will admit that dog meat is a delicacy and a huge delicacy in Korea and China. Dog meat is an exportable product. Let’s put all jokes aside, I have lived in Bolga for so many years and I know there are dog hunters in Bolga who go around buying dogs and hunting for dogs. It’s a big delicacy,” he added.
