South Korea passes ban on dog meat consumption
(edition.cnn.com)
Go vegan
I’m sure all the people eating dog on here will take it into consideration.
i doubt there are any dog meat eaters reading this, but chicken, cow, fish, etc? Still animals, some more intelligent than dogs.
Might as well spam “go vegan” on any thread about animals, then, it’ll do as much.
Can do!
All the people eating any animals should take it into consideration
I’m sure everyone else will give it just as much consideration.
No.
Lame
now do beef
I downvoted this post as I don't find this uplifting at all. I don't eat meat, and I love my dog, but there's no reason to single out dog meat consumption other than cultural norms and globalization. It seems like an unreasonable position for the South Korean government to have taken.
My Korean meat farm rescue Jindo and I disagree with you.
You gave him such a great gift of love and care. I'm so happy you did that.
That's cool, dude. I like your dog. But maybe think about the next pig you eat as ALSO being a sweet, intelligent, and inherently valuable critter.
There's no reason to save a dog that doesn't also lead to saving a pig, just as there's no reason to eat a pig that's not also a reason to eat a dog.
Iirc the reason for singling out dog meat was because of the cruel ways dogs in particular are killed for dog meat.
I'm interested, and I don't know anything about South Korean meat production.
To be clear, I'm not arguing that people should eat dogs. I'm arguing that meat production tends to be horrific, and treating dogs any differently is ignoring some major issues in favor of human bias. I do know something about US factory farming, and it's horrific: cruel to animals, environmentally unconscionable, and a social justice issue for humans working in and living near plants (for example, hog farms in North Carolina). I'm not sure how much worse dog farming could be. We just have more sympathy for them.
From what I've heard the dog meat industry is horrendous even by meat industry standards, and in many places it's believed that if they suffer as they die it makes the dog meat taste better so they are often purposefully tortured and killed in a brutal fashion in order to make them suffer more. I don't like any animals being mistreated in the meat industry even if they're an animal provide food, but the dog meat industry is particularly bad.
Lets see if the dog farmers keep their promise (or threat) to release all the now unneeded dogs in the capital.
They have a cultural inferiority complex , and they can't stop simping for the west.
Why is Lamb allowed to be consumed and dogs not ? can't both animals be taken as pets.
You can't be owned more than South Korea is today.
I’m reminded of PJ O’Rourke’s comment when he tried dog in S Korea: “Surprisingly tasty when you consider what a hot wet dog smells like”
Chickens being suffocated and baked alive in thousands at a time still ok tho. Stupid fucking chickens.
