Examiner.com is a media company based in Denver, Colorado, that operates a network of local news websites, allowing "pro–am contributors"[1][2] to share their city-based knowledge on a blog-like platform, in 238 markets throughout the United States and parts of Canada with two national editions, one for each country.
Examiners are paid based on a black box system considering page views and other metrics, or the "Gawker-model", made famous by the blog Gawker.com. During 2009 many of the writers were receiving $0.01 per page view. Examiner.com later offered a variety of pay scale options to their writers.[16] Examiner.com now bases compensation on variables such as subscriptions, page view traffic and session length.[17] Examiner.com has been criticized for its lack of verification and fact-checking of stories published on the site,[19] including accusations of plagiarism. |

Not saying it didn't happen but I just find it really odd that dehydrated, diseased meat of an indiscriminate breed of dog would be considered a delicacy and how much profit is there really to be had going around from yard to yard plucking people’s pets with collars and nametags still attached.
I wonder if this new is just being spread in retaliation (or just a diversion) for sending US stocks plunging... |

I understand that they do eat dogs and cats in other countries but it still saddens and disgusts me.
