It sounds like a joke, but it’s real.
In England in the 16th century, they built a large “hamster wheel” that when rotated in turned meat over an open fire. The turning was required to cook the meat evenly. The dog was bred to turn the wheel.

I’m all for breeding a larger version with the specific task in mind of spit roasting politicians and bureaucrats over a bed of hot coals.
Poor little hound
Wasn’t paid by the pound
For going round & round
With the British pound
Didn’t make a sound
Cause’ it kept him from the pound
Cruel for the dogs, yep. Of course lefties encourage this behavior in humans. Probably teach it in school. Search up “urban dictionary spit roasting”
Is this a relative to the lickspittle media?
(apologies to the dogs, but I had to ask)
Wow! Monotonous with a frying accent….. absolutely ridiculous,

Cracker, I thought it was a computer voice w/ French accent.
I’m one to talk, I don’t like my voice when I hear it recorded.

These dogs were in America as well… Outside of Selinsgrove PA is a little patch of homes called “DogTown”.
WTF?
Dog was getting plenty of exercise, probably a few scraps of meat, and got to spread hair and dog dander all over the kitchen – what more should a dog want?
The dogs were probably proud to be earning their keep – not like those little fluffy shit-dogs that sat in people’s laps and took on their fleas.
Now the fukkin dogs will be demanding reparations.

At least they weren’t eaten (I don’t know that for certain). I’ll bet in the Famines they did. Obama was licking his lips just reading about it.
