"Roasted Dog Meat" - American Candidate Sparks Controversy (Photo)

An image has surfaced in the American media showing Robert Kennedy Jr., a candidate in the presidential elections, seemingly about to take a bite of roasted dog meat. In the photo, he is holding remnants of the meat during a trip to South Korea in 2010, the year he underwent surgery to remove a "tapeworm" from his brain. However, the 70-year-old candidate denied to Fox News yesterday that the roasted meat was dog, insisting it was goat, and that the photo was taken in a country in South America. Vanity Fair magazine reported yesterday that he recommended a friend try a restaurant in South Korea that serves dog meat as a main dish, sending a text message with the photo of him holding the roasted animal. Kennedy told Fox News: "I am (in the photo that could ruin my campaign) at a campsite in Patagonia (a region in Argentina) eating goat, which is what we eat there," as he expressed. He then criticized the magazine for lacking journalistic standards, even though it claimed to have cited a veterinarian who identified the carcass as that of a dog, noting that it had 13 pairs of ribs, including the one known as the "pubic rib," commonly found in dogs. It is worth mentioning that goats also have 13 pairs of ribs, but they are not attached to the breastbone or any other rib.
