Hunting deer in Nagaland
Those who care about wildlife would be most enraged by this video but here it is. A traveler explore life in a remote village in Nagaland.
Nagas have hunted in the past but mainly food and livelihood, and some still do. But now that people are more aware of its impact on environment and nature, many organizations and groups are educating the public to discourage hunting. And in the recent times social media is not behind. There have been posts in popular social networks like Facebook where members have posted pictures of 'hunted-wildlife' being sold in the market and many of them expressed concerns and encourage each other to spread awareness of such practices that is depleting the natural beauty of Nagaland, which I think I a noble thing to do.

Dog Meat
Food habits vary from culture to culture determined by a lot of factors such as - availability, attitude, beliefs, income, taste, appetite, skills, education, knowledge about food etc. According to the European Food Information Council (EUFIC) the major determinants of food choices are based on the following factors -

Nagas are known to consume dog meat. In fact, it is a delicacy beside many other exotic food here in Nagaland. Besides, there is a hilarious lore that is often told to a non-Naga - "Nagas eat anything with four legs except chairs and tables, anything that crawls the earth, that flies in the air except aeroplanes...".
But feeding on dog meat is not exclusive to Nagas. Dog meat is consumed in several countries like China, Vietman, Switzerland, Phillipines and Mexico. Whether an individual like a certain food is his or her choice, and there is no reason to detest. It might not be advisable to make dog meat a common meal on your dinner table but it might not be so bad for the 'adventurous-in-food-habit-ones' to try once if you haven't. Even in Nagaland, dog meat even though it is consumed is not a common meal in many household. Many people in towns and cities do not consume dog meat.
The exotic food habit in Nagaland (also some parts of North East India) compared to rest of India have attracted quite some articles in media. Some are unjustly written without understanding the culture and by comparing to the rest of the country, while some are alright. Though an article in the media might be judgmental, it is interesting to know that the author is writing from his or her personal perspective. So it is interesting to read the comments from readers on such news. People who are adventurous in food habit and who have experienced different food cultures around the world are the most rational in their comments. Check out some article links below the video.
