PET MEAT

Man's best friend is on the menu across the Tasman:

A New Zealand man who cooked his pet dog in a backyard pit cannot be prosecuted, because it was killed humanely.

The puzzled owner, Paea Taufa, says dog is a delicacy in Tonga and he had knocked it unconscious with a blow to the head before slitting its throat.

Appropriately, the dog was a pitbull.
