This is absolutely disgusting. Animals always seem to be the victims of people’s stupidity and cruel behavior. It’s not entertaining…it’s inhumane!

@Jared: No, only in some parts of Asia, they eat dogs and cats. And even in Switzerland it is said that in Appenzell people eat dogs. And tehre’s nothing wrong with it.

I think the video is inetresting – not really cute but cool to see how obedient and loyal those dogs are.

But I am VERY opposed to the thing with the Chimp. Really – chimps are not dogs. They are very close to us (comparing intelligence etc) – even if he got lots of bananas (which he surely liked) he looked quite scared from what I know of chimp bodylanguage. Do not like.

They weren’t taunting they were just counting.
Anyways, this video is uber cute.

omg those poor dogs.. and you know in asia they eat dogs right? how sad to be a dog born in asia!! tortured and eaten!! please bring them to america!!!!!

This is not cruel, a dog’s genetic makeup isn’t to GRAB FOOD when it was available, they have a pack system. The pack leader or Alpha Dog gives the good to go to eat. You guys are just a bunch of over-sensitive Peta softies. It’s one thing if they were smacking them around with a cattle prod while doing this but they were trained to hold off for as long as possible. Did you see them beat the dog? was the dog harmed in anyway? If I sat you down and put forth a banquet full of food for you and told you, that you couldn’t eat it for 5 minutes is that torture? Get real people geeze..

This is abuse. If your genetic makeup was such as to grab food as it was available (it’s a survival instinct), and then not be allowed to eat when surrounded by food, it is indeed abusive and torturous.

I agree with the others who find this kind of teasing of animals to be cruel and insensitive to their feelings. It’s not funny and it certainly isn’t entertaining.

I’m just sick of it.

OMG, Alvaro, you’re right! This happened to me just the other day.

You see, every time I go to a restaurant, I have to watch waiters go by, one by one, with awesome plates of deliciousness. Ooh boy, it’s complete and utter torture, let me tell you!

And then, eventually, I get a plate of food! OMG! Why did they torture me so!

It’s the same thing here. Get over it. It is NOT torture.

Just get someone to show you dish after dish of nice food without you being able to taste any when you are hungry to see if you like it.
and that’s even if, unlike the dogs, we can rationalize it’s a game.

this is plain ANIMAL TORTURE.

please ban this kind of thing.
