Eating an animal for food is not a crime. But there is a humane way of killing an animal for food. Reading this article makes me feel disgusted. I love my non-veg food but if we are to believe what has been described, it's barbaric. You don't skin an animal alive in a civlized society. I fully support strict action against this Mr Yoronso. People like him do create cause for hatred for NE people. I agree that eating a dog may be okay in Nagaland but it is not common in most parts of India and he should have respected that. JS
