From the oral account of Jose Pacheco of Mindoro Island, Philippines.
The dog to be butchered was first caged and feed only with packed fresh milk for a duration of one week.
There's a practice in my locality of eating dog's meat. The dogs were butchered and cooked like the way they prepared other dishes.
But one practice that was propagated by one person in our village that baffled me, was the eating of raw matters on the intestine of the dog. Others followed his system. The dog was chosen based on its health and vigor. Then the dog was fed with fresh milk for one week. After that, the dog was then killed through stabbing on the throat.
After the dog was cleaned from the outside, Its internal organs will be carefully removed. Its small intestine will be separated from the large one. The raw contents of the small intestine will then be transferred to a glass. The characteristics of the liquid contents of the said intestine resembles like that of a yogurt.
They will drink this liquid like the way they drink a yogurt.
I asked them if what are the benefits of the liquid in consuming it in raw. They all answered that it boost their immune system thereby making them protected from various infectious diseases.
I assumed that it was true. Poor folks always seek ways to be healthy because they can't afford costly preventive medication. Aside from that, even though I assumed that their practice has no scientific basis I found it to be beneficial to them.
