Barbecued dog and steamed paws?
These and so much more were to be had at this weekend's dog meat festival near Seoul.
Alas, it was not to be.
Animal rights activists put up such a stink that the organizers, from the Korea Dog Farmers' Association, said there was no way they could go through with the event.
"We couldn't possibly go on with the plan due to endless phone calls of complaint ... now there are few willing to rent us a place for the event," Ann Yong-Geun, a professor of nutrition at Chung Cheong University and an advisor to the association, told AFP.
Organizers of the festival had wanted to showcase the positive side of the dog meat industry in South Korea, where there are about 600 farms that raise dogs for meat, according to Ann.
Dog soup, or Boshintang, is a summer delicacy in South Korea, though the Wall Street Journal reports that it isn't as popular as the media would make it seem.
A minority of people eat it regularly. It’s consumed most frequently in summer but is available year-round. And it’s more popular with men than women and is said to possess qualities that "help stamina."
They were, for example, going to show videos of farms raising dogs under sanitary conditions — something, they will tell you, that would become a more ubiquitous practice were the industry legalized and regulated.
But for many activists, the humane treatment of the dogs is beside the point. To them, dogs are companions not a main course, end of story.
Read: North Korean propaganda.
The irony is that in South Korea, that wasn't really true until more recently. And even now, it's really only true in the city, where they raise "pet dogs," as opposed to "meat dogs."
As William Saletan wrote in Slate a few years back:
In the country, they raise "meat dogs," also known as "junk dogs" and "lower-grade" dogs. But you don't become a "lower-grade" dog by flunking an IQ test. You're just born in the wrong place. Then you're slaughtered and fed to a man who thinks he's humane because he pampers a Golden Retriever that has half your brains.
So, what's really wrong with eating dog? Just because we don't do it in the U.S. doesn't seem to make for a very good argument.

Some things are just morally wrong. We don't brutally sterilize our young woman in the U.S. as they do in parts of Africa, so I guess there is nothing wrong with that practice either.
What an ignorant analogy. What does forcibly sterilizing humans have to do with the cultural stigma of eating an animal that is biologically not much different from pig or sheep? I'd consider myself a dog-lover, but if I was offered dog to eat, I would probably eat it.
I consider myself a human lover. If i was offered to eat human flesh, i'll have it baked.
Meat is meat!!
Humans have been eating humans since the beginning of time, longer than we have been eating pigs. It's called evolution, we don't have to eat certain things like humans and bugs anymore we have alternatives. There is an unfair advantage to eating dogs since they are not prey animals we bred them for companionship and to trust and rely on us. The only people who eat dogs are selfish c**tz.
But Veronica, that would be illegal...
Wrong is wrong space imbecile
wrong is subjective you galactic ephtard.
The the analogy you dislike is terrible. Your response is even more flawed. Mainly because biologically, we are no different to any mammal, so with that as your fouindation, is it ok to eat people?
You're not very different from a pig biologically either. Mind if I douse you on BBQ sauce and slap you on the grill?
And the reason that pigs are useful is due to the fact that we as humans are not biologically different. I guess i would like being BBQ'ed just about as much as you.
That being said, I will take you up on the offer, you may "eat me"
ok....I have two dogs....they each can understand many many commands and some words. I teach school and my dogs are smarter than some of the children! That comes with parenting as my dogs are my children. I cannot imagine eating a dog or cat for that matter! and yes I do eat meat! That is just not right! GROSS! just sayin
Your dogs are not smarter than any child, pigs are smarter than your dog however....yet you continue the slaughter?
This story freaks me out! Eating a dog for me, would be like eating a human being. It's all cultural I understand, but it just seems so backward. I would think that a dog's ability to connect with man to the degree they do on an emotional level; far greater than a cow, chicken or salmon, would alone prevent someone from eating one. It's just freaking creepy!
That's why you are a space idiot
Everything Chris said. To Space Wizard, well, your name says everything perfectly about you and what's going on in your brainpan.
IMO there are definitely moral implications to eating a dog. I understand the idea that they are animals like pigs, cows, etc, but there is a fundamental difference to me. Dogs, through thousands of year of evolution and domestication by humans has given them the ability to bond and show love to humans. Not many animals are capable of this. Sure cows and sheep and pigs can be domesticated pets, but they care about the food you feed them. They don't run up to you with a ball in their mouth wanting to play or curl up on your lap when you are sad regardless of if you feed them or not like a dog does. You want to go eat a dingo or wild dog be my guest, but surely everyone can see the problem with eating a domesticated dog, all they want is to love and be loved.
The only reason I wouldn't eat dogs (if their meat was readily available) is because I have one and I love him. If i raised a pig from birth and trained it I'm sure I would develop a bond with that pig that would make it seem barbaric to eat any pig. It's understandable that since not many people in Korea have dogs, it's more acceptable to eat them. If everyone had a pet pig do you think we would still eat them?
Also, it would save a lot of resources if we ate the dogs that are killed in shelters. They're going to die anyways why wouldn't we eat them?
There's nothing more succulent than fresh oven-roasted Golden Retriever with Chalula sauce. I especially like sucking on the eye sockets.
Um, how many dogs are euthanized in America each year? While the thought of eating dog meat is revolting to me, I will save my sanctimony for something more pressing and let the South Korean's eat what they will.
Eat the rich.
Not ignorant. If there is no regard for humans, there definitely will be no regard for the animals. I think this person is saying that culture/society is barbaric and it is.
The differenc is, dogs have a personality and loyal creatures that love unconditionally.
I could never eat a dog, but who am I to say anyone else doing so is wrong??? I've eaten deer, lamb, rabbit, and an outright assortment of animals seen as cute, cuddly and sometimes intelligent. Dogs are not people, meat is, for the most part, meat. Should we have stopped eating chickens when suburban mom's started a trend of having them as pets?
Shouldn't which animals we are willing to eat be based on how cute the animal in question is? Therefore, it should be decided on a case by case basis. You cannot simply write-off an entire species, as they are all delicious in their own right. However, just pick the ugliest ones from each species to kill and eat. Makes sense, yes?
Seriously? You call Joe's argument ignorant but your argument seems to state that you would eat anything that is similar to pigs and sheep. Have you ever compared the similarities of the human genome to that of pigs and sheep? Though not 100% similar the genomes are still incredibly similar. By your logic you would also eat obese children if they were put in front of you.
I would have no qualms about eating a dog. Being poor I was brought up with the philosophy that if you kill something you eat it. I have ate snakes, turtles, frogs, raccoons, possum, and all sorts of other critters. You eat what available to survive, and dogs although they may make wonderful companions are not completely off the "food list" if it came down to it. What disgusts me is people who press their values, taboo, and stereotypes upon people of a different culture who do not share those views.
Ahh yes, Evolution. The justification for everything. From canablism to rape and infanticide.
You are sick. If it was a life or death situation, the I´d understand, but no, it is not.
DISGUSTING!!! Maya is right about dogs being raised to trust and obey us, throughout history...and in many, MANY countries, dogs have been raised to protect us, trust us, obey us, and be man's best friend. It's amazing how many of the shady people responding on here saying they would try it are the same morons wouldn't be able to kill a dog let alone any of the meat they eat. I don't mind people eating meat but there's no reason why these animals cannot be treated kindly and honored as they are forced to give themselves to feed others. There's no reason (other than greedy losers) to cram these animals in very tiny spaces, not feed them, kick them, hurt them, etc. The cow, chicken, and pig industry here in the US is BAD enough.
i"'d consider myself a dog-lover, but if I was offered dog to eat, I would probably eat it.", you're not a dog lover, you're an idiot.
Pigs are scientifically proven to be as smart, if not smarter, than dogs. We as a country still justify killing them with no questions asked, other than some sanitary issues here and there. Who are we to judge the traditions and cultures of a country? I would venture to guess that the same activists who are against dog killing in Korea are also against the war in the Middle East. Aren't those relative? Think about it. If you are against oppresion in one area, don't for a second think that you can impose your opinion on other countries when you have no grounds to do so. Just sayin...
Poor doggies. I just threw up in my trashcan.

I agree, as long as I don't have to see the dog being slaughtered I'm sure it tastes just fine and is nutritious.
If you're a dog lover, God help your dog.
What kind of evil sickness do you have?
It's a disgusting practice and should be abolished. Dogs are man's best friend. Not cows, not pigs. Dogs. Since the dawn of time, dogs have assisted human survival, asking for nothing more than love and a spare bone now and then. Anyone looking at the expression on the golden retriever's face above who isn't moved to tears by the abject grief, loneliness and misery is a heartless cretin. Dog farmers? They should be rounded up and shot. Anyone eating dogs or cats or other similar species are, imho, guilty of canabalism.
dhondi, its actually been scientificly proven that many breeds of dogs are as smart as a 4 or 5 year old child.
What a sick and awful story. Why do we spend money defending such a barbarici coutnry?
I have eaten dog in Singapore, and it was delicious. I was a little drunk, but it tasted like BBQ beef brisket or something. I would eat another dog without hesitation. I would eat all of your dogs. I would eat human for that matter. when the world is ending and all you people are starving, i will be ok.
Bon Appetit!
I've always said I am an egalitarnian. I will eat whatever tastes good. .beef, pork, chicken, fish, people, dogs, (not cats.. they are holy..).
SpaceWizard said :What does forcibly sterilizing humans have to do with the cultural stigma of eating an animal that is biologically not much different from pig or sheep? LULz what an Epic fail of a Statement. We are not that much different biologically from Pigs our Sheep either. So would you eat a baby? Lol I bet your brain plays the theme from Sanford and Son when you try to formulate an idea or argument. It so amazing how clueless people are out there and the statements they make, when knowledge is just a few keystrokes away. O my science helpp them.
@Maya, Dogs are not the creation of people nor are they bred for partnership. Dogs evolved from wolves which are in fact what you call prey animals. People who eat cows and c****z. See, I can do that too. Just because eating dogs is not supported in your culture, doesn't mean other cultures have to change. Korean culture was here before American. FYI, eating pigs or cows is extremely wrong in other cultures, you don't see them calling Americans and Europeans c***z, do you? Your have a very hypocritical mentality.
To all those that say there is nothing wrong with slaughtering dogs, and indeed furthermore, animals for no other reason than to eat them, please memorialize your stated opinions and then reflect back on them 20 years from now. And try to forgive yourself. I won't.
I think most of the people on here are missing the bigger picture. Humans if given the choice do not eat meat of predator animals. In other words we do not generally eat meat of meat eaters. Cows, pigs, sheep, deer,etc. do not eat meat. Cats, Dogs, Wolves, Coyotes, Lions etc, eat meat and we do not eat them.
First of all wolves are not prey animals, they are predators. Korea is only about 100 years old it was split into the North and South around 1945. America had people here long before the Europeans arrived, so I don't get your ridiculous point of who has the older culture. There's nothing worse than a dumb c***. Maybe too much doggie is rotting your brain.
I guess each nation/culture navigates subjectively by their own moral compass. Some compasses are just more skewed and F'd up than others. Take the Japanese, for instance, who freely go out into the oceans and capture and murder thousands of whales and dolphins for their own benefit. The Chinese are no different when it comes to slaughtering man's best friend. I'm not saying the average individual in either country is cold hearted or immoral, but I will argue that the cultures shared similar archaic and despicable traditions that overall give them a bad reputation.
If you're using "dogs are close to pigs" argument for why we should be able to eat them, take a minute to think about this... Pigs are close enough to Humans (internally) that the valves of their heart are used for valve replacements.
Personally, I think meat is meat. I've tried just about everything you can eat and can't see what the big deal is...
Koreans will eat anything. They eat people too.
From a Washington Post article:
"One woman in my town killed her 7-month-old baby, and ate the baby with another woman. "
"It was common that people went to a fresh grave and dug up a body to eat meat. I witnessed a woman being questioned for cannibalism. She said it tasted good."
So, is it OK to eat Koreans if they are raised for food and not as pets?
Space Wizard, humans are not genetically far from pigs either. In fact, when learning to suture skin, pig parts are used due to its remarkable similarities. If your opinion/theory is to be considered, then would you mind if I Bar-B-Q'd one of your children this weekend during my party on the 4th? I mean, I love kids and all, but I guess I wouldn't mind eating one – it could be tasty...
I agree. Pigs are actually smarter than most dog breeds, and can be trained like dogs, and are great pets. But we eat pigs, so whats the difference?
Korea is only 100 years old? really? Where the hell did you get an education?
They were invaded by imperial Japan (again) in the early 1900's, but as far as existing? they've been around for thousands, if not tens of thousands, of years.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea
ChrisB there is quite a difference at the moment between the Republic of Korea, and the Democratic People's Republic of Korea. I suggest you figure that out before posting something that has nothing to do with the topic.
As far as eating animals, I've had dog before, it's not bad, not something I'd eat on a regular basis. These dogs are not companion animals, they are food animals. Should the US stop eating pigs because they are more intelligent than dogs? Pigs are not prey animals, they aren't predators, but in nature they don't have anything that eats them, wild boars are damned scary animals. Cows are sacred animals in some cultures, should we bow to external cultural pressure and cease eating the divine bovine?
"They were invaded by imperial Japan (again) in the early 1900's" Did you even bother to read the wiki? Italy didn't become a country until the late 1800s, does that mean the Roman Empire didn't exist? Becoming their own country is not the same as having a history. There have been cultures all over the world for hundreds and thousands of years. Why do you think I wrote there were people here before the Europeans? People trying to hide behind their "old" culture to be gross is cowardly.
Uhhm, and men and apes share 99% of the genome. People in Africa and South America eat apes. Is that now suddenly wrong?
absolutely dogs have cognitive and emotional abilities beyond that of a human 2 year old. so, if it's okay to eat a dog because it's dumber than us, i guess it's okay to eat toddlers.
You are an idiot. You eat my dog and I will feed you to my pigs. Civilized people don't eat dogs nor have sex with them. These other sub-humans will one day figure out what to do. In the meantime don't let them drag us down to their level.
They were their own country. I don't see them trying to hide, and I doubt their purpose is to be "gross". Just because you are a vegetarian doesn't mean the rest of us have to be. I honestly don't even see what point it is that you're trying to make. Some animals are companions, some animals are food, hell, some animals are holy creatures. It is possible that they are the same animal. Your ethnocentric moral outrage is silly. Americans as a whole aren't going to stop eating pigs because they are unclean to muslims (Or any old testament religion really), Americans as a whole aren't going to stop eating cows because they're holy to hindus. The minority of Koreans that eat dog shouldn't stop eating dogs just because they are companion animals in America.
@Maya: Phenotypic plasticity just means that if you set a pig out into the wild, their -offspring- will eventually revert back to being wild... same genes, but just expressed differently due to different stimuli. The pigs themselves will always remain the same - they don't have the ability to shape-shift, you know.
Yes, their personality will change.. but the same argument goes for dogs that are set loose in the wild. They will form packs with other wild dogs, fight for dominance, and pretty much revert back being more akin to wolves. In fact, you could Google stories about stray dogs imposing problems because they form packs and attack livestock as well as humans.
Plain and simple, if you eat pigs, you have no argument against eating dogs. I personally wouldn't eat dogs, but do eat pigs... probably for the same reasons as you, but I'm not going to criticize other people for doing it.
Cannibalism leads to the human variant of mad cow disease. Cannibalsim is not even close to eating dogs
Texas
I think most of the people on here are missing the bigger picture. Humans if given the choice do not eat meat of predator animals. In other words we do not generally eat meat of meat eaters. Cows, pigs, sheep, deer,etc. do not eat meat. Cats, Dogs, Wolves, Coyotes, Lions etc, eat meat and we do not eat them."
Your ignorance is telling. Both Pigs and Chickens are omnivorous. In fact, in confinement facilities, steps have to be taken to separate chickens and pigs for other of their own kind due to the propensity to cannabilize. Pigs will not only eat other pigs (including lesser or weaker brothers or sisters) but given the chance, they will also eat humans–even fighting, screaming, trying to get out of the pen, humans. Any animal that eats insects is eating meat–any meat eater will eat what they can get... especially if they cannot get what they prefer. Pigs will even eat pork sausage or bacon.
Why do people keep responding to me? I am responding to this article which I assume is from an American writer. Koreans are fighting with Koreans, Chinese are fighting with Chinese on this issue. The majority of Chinese have dogs as pets, the majority of Koreans don't eat dog. The more money these people make and the more educated these countries become the less likely they will support dog eating in the future. History shows humans usually change for the better so I'm optimistic. And in regards to the pigs yes THEY change not just their offspring. If you don't want to accept that, that's your choice, I don't care. Picking and twisting every little thing I write to suit the dog eating position, is not going to change anything.
@ Texas
And by "humans", you mean Americans, correct? The only reason why we, as Americans, tend to eat animals that are more vegetarian than carnivorous is that it's a lot more economical to raise vegetarian animals. If you go to the south, you see restaurants that serve alligator and snake - both extremely carnivorous... but they are not common because they are dangerous, expensive, limited to certain environments, and/or people have fears against them (e.g. snakes).
The rule applies to any culture really, but not all cultures will limit themselves to what's economical for all occasions.
Maybe instead of justifying dog meat by an analogy to pigs, you should justify vegetarianism by an analogy of pigs to dogs. It seems your framing is backwards, no?
I am Chinese and I love my 3 dogs! I just can't or will NOT eat dog meat. We depend on them to take care of us when we have disabilities and detect illegal contrabands into our borders, if you can show me a cow that can do that or assist a blind person when to cross the road....Dogs were bred to be our friends and companions. We don't eat our friends....Maybe you do?? But i don't. I don't agree with people eating dogs and cats. But if this is a economics issue then kill them humanely not torture them, because i believe in Karma. When you torture animals, I hope that person will get 10 folds back.
What kind of dog lover are you? You are saying you will eat your pet if it was cooked up for...how about your children, would you eat them if they cooked up for you?
@people saying pigs are not meat eaters. Pigs will eat anything even meat.
You are an idiot. I'd offer you my poop. Would you consider that?
@Maya. I'm replying to you because you're ignorant. Sorry to put it so blunt but it's true. First of all, Korea existed way before America. It didn't exist as an "official nation" to The Allies because it was only a sovereign country in the orients. That means you would have no idea what it was like. In fact, when the first Korean nation existed, they still wrote and spoke in a select form of Chinese characters. Now, I'm not saying this as an excuse to eat dogs. I'm just saying you were misinformed. They probably put in the official request as a nation once America liberated Korea from the Japanese empire.
Second, Korea is not "uneducated." In fact, the average Korean and Japanese student since middle-school will spend significant more hours in school than American kids. And I am making this statement right now. Both Korean and Japanese students are much more educated than any American student unless he is some sort of genius or life-spent scholar. In Asian culture, you go to school Mon-Sat from morning to sundown. THEN, those who plan on going to college go to cram school until later in the night. Why is it so long? Instead of going to school for consecutive 8 hours, they have like let's say 1 class, then a break. Another class, break. etc etc. Possibly also explain why people born from Korea or Japan happen to be more self-disciplined. Not saying it's a good thing. Pointing out facts. Koreans are NOT uneducated as to eat dogs due to ignorance. It just means you don't know anything about Korea and should not talk.
MAJORITY of Korea does not eat dogs. Majority of Korea HAS dogs as pets. MAJORITY of Korea knows of dog meat. MAJORITY OF THEM do not even try it once while there are those that are brave enough... sort of like Americans going to gourmet restaurants to eat baby lamb's brain. Don't tell everyone what's humane, who's educated, or who's morally right. People in Korea respect one another much more than the average American... BECAUSE IT'S IN THEIR CULTURE. Discipline and respect is held in very high regards. How do I know this? I'm Korean. And I live in America. And everyday, I see the pathetic majority of Americans desperately blaming everything for the cause of some problems. Also the very same people who go on being nosy about trivial things like Bieber's life story and the like, yet don't give a damn about people suffering in Syria/Libya/Iraq/etc. Then the people who don't care about people suffering try to overthrow meat industry by saying it's inhumane. What a corporate lifestyle. The very same people would also try to impose their own ideals and culture onto others; then claim that they are barbaric or something because they do not accept the forcefully imposed ideals. Isn't that what technically happened in Vietnam? Same for Somalia. Well I got news for you. Corporate lifestyle like that is significantly more inhumane than any other culture... even the ones that stone their women to death for infidelity. Why? Because in America, we package and process all food. We believe a neighborhood that used to be ghetto is now lovely and nice just because you kicked every poor people out and replaced it with cheap condomoniums and charge expensive for them. THAT is happening everywhere in America. You are sick? It's OK, take this shot or take a medicine. It destroys your kidneys/liver but it'll make the pain go away. Now I really can't say much because I live the same corporate lifestyle in order to get by. I still don't take pharmaceutical medication. I have a clean record, I don't drive a nice car. I live this way to get by. And in the meantime, I see all these people who are well-off moan and cry about how their life sucks because of this and that but they have good enough money to survive until they die. Sorry went on a rant for a bit.
Now, with that in mind. Tell me what's so wrong about the very SMALL minority eating an available meat industry? Because if I agree with what you say Maya, then I would be no different than Taliban and Al Queda hating on America or any other Hindu populace hating America for mass-breeding, mass slaughtering, and eating their holy figure.
I guess my point is... ALL NATIONS no matter what culture are inhumane. We all have flaws. The worst of all flaws is to try to impose your idealism onto others... It's not like it's even a big issue. The dog meat industry will not grow because everyone loves dogs. Korea is not barbaric, in fact they are less barbaric than America because they have massive self-discipline, respect and uphold a very highly established public image.
So for the rest of you; piss off. Maya was ignorant and that's that. As far as whether it's morally right or not; it's not because it's subjective. Because most of us are fortunate enough to not starve due to lack of food, we get to CHOOSE what to eat rather than eating what we can get.
@ Space Wizard – all you have between your ears is just space!
Dogs have been bred by humans as companion animals for eons now. They trust us and will do almost anything for us, from rescue work to war work, to being companions for the disabled and being protectors of our livestock and our home/family. They are highly intelligent and capable animals who trust humans and now have been bred to depend on us for survival. Dogs have suffered at the hands of mankind for the entirety of their existence, and they are smart enough to realize what is happening when they are shipped off to slaughter. Therefore, just like horses (who have also suffered hugely at the hands of mankind) they should NOT be used as a food source. To breed dogs for meat is simply the lazy man's way of making a living, as a dog will be easily trained and trusting and will require much less work from man to raise. One day we will all be forced to become vegetarians, as our populations rise and meat becomes prohibitively expensive. One of the first (and best) places to start is to stop raising dogs for meat; they deserve much better from us, and they have earned it!
"I'm replying to you because you're ignorant. Sorry to put it so blunt but it's true. First of all, Korea existed way before America. It didn't exist as an "official nation" " It didn't exist as an official nation???? And you are calling me ignorant, can you read? I am not going to read your stupid novel especially after that beginning. BTW why do people keep putting @maya? Write whatever you want don't put my name in it.
If the Taliban offered you a piece of the dog (Belgian Malinois) that helped in the raid on Osama Bin Laden, I guess you'd eat it without hesitation too.. Right? Nice to have such clear thinking.
They don't eat cow in India either, does that make us wrong because we're culturally different?
There is a reason a dog is man's best friend and not a sheep or a pig. Dogs are loyal, dogs show love. You can look into a dog's soul - something you can't do with a sheep, a cow, a chicken or a pig. Something is horribly wrong with a culture of people who see fogs as food instead of what they really are - loyal loving companions.
Quit calling yourself a dog lover. It's a blatant lie! And so is the word "wizard" when applied to you.
@Joe, I totaly agree with you statement! That times infinity! You SAID it when you put "The worst of all flaws is to try to impose your idealism onto others." Who am I to tell a nation, culture, village, or family what they are or are not suppose to eat or do as a nation, culture, village, family, or even an individual? We really should try to be good and do the right thing because we actually care and maybe apply the Golden Rule a little more in our daily lives.
@Maya, you should read the whole of what Joe said.
Yes it's brilliant: It was not an "official nation"- which is what I said, he's claiming I said they were uneducated- which I did not say, I said when they become more educated and have more money, that does not mean I think Koreans and the Japanese( don't know how they got dragged into this) are uneducated. then he goes on to say the MAJORITY don't eat dog which is exactly what I wrote. woooow!!!!
Such a funny thread. Maya, the more you post, the more ignorant you sound. "Did you check the Wiki?" Seriously? Just stop. Anyway, I have lived in Korea for several years, and the vast majority of young Koreans have never eaten dog. Most older Koreans only ate it rarely for special occasions or because they had no other source of food. Maya has obviously never been poor enough to need to stretch her culinary limits. In fact, she has probably never ventured as far as... SPAM. Gasp! I have never eaten dog either, and have no desire to, but if someone served it to me at their home I would eat it without hesitating, because that would be rude. On a side note, I suspect I have eaten cat in Laos (it may have actually been dog), because you don't just turn down the villagers' generous offer for dinner because of your personal preferences. Maya would probably also call Italy barbaric because they eat horse meat. (which I have eaten as well, and it was excellent)
"You can look into a dog's soul – something you can't do with a sheep, a cow, a chicken or a pig."
Have you legitimately looked into the eyes of a sheep, cow, chicken, or pig and thought to yourself "wow, this thing is soulless." Have you even been around them? or is your experience merely limited to buying packages of their meat in the supermarket? If not, I don't think you should judge so quickly. I'm willing to bet that many large animal vets would be more than welcome to inform you otherwise. On the other hand, if you are, say, own a slaughter house and really think that you are killing brainless things, then I would say wake up and say "hi" to the dog farmers in Korea: They are just like you, and, quite possibly, think of dogs the same way you think of cows or chickens. Humans have quite the ability to separate things into categories, especially between the "us" and the "them."
That being said, please stop trying to judge other people by your standard. I personally would not eat dog meat, but that's because I love my own dog. I, however, will eat cows and pigs and absolutely love it. why? because American culture has disassociated the meat in a package from once live animals. it's hidden from view and we like it that way, but i digress. If they want to eat dog meat, let them eat! As many people before me, and is hardly ever addressed, Americans LOVE eating cows, which is HOLY to Hindu's. They may judge, but you don't see them calling Americans to be shot because of it. now THAT i think is rather barbaric.
AS FOR PEOPLE SAYING "MAJORITY." I think you've made it clear that you are an American, with an American viewpoint on morals (which is not universal, as many might want to believe). Well, lets see, I would say that since you obviously embrace American culture, you would appreciate the fact that the majority does not rule over and control the minority.....it is an essential part of what we call freedom. I find it funny that we as Americans put so many limits on what we call freedom. We demand various freedoms for all countries, but once they have a freedom that is against our moral compass, we lash out and cry for their freedoms to be limited. Ah humanity!
awwwww maybe I should post under different names like some people to avoid the @maya. I have traveled to and lived in many many countries. And yes I have lived with poor villagers. I agree with some things and disagree with others. I have been to countries where women don't have equal rights, children are used as slaves around the house, if I disagree with it I disagree, that's my choice. Only a mindless sheep would say "oh well it's part of their culture" therefore it's ok I don't have an opinion.
honestly, recognizing the effects of cultures is far from mindless. It shows true tolerance and a more cosmopolitan view, being able to say "i disagree, but I understand why and I accept it." I would hope that everyone is able to take this stance, but, alas, apparently it is "mindless" to do so.
To put it in Very simple terms, a dog is to smart to be considered as food. Their capacity for love and loyalty is amazing. Their ability to understand people and their emotions is amazing. I wouldn't eat a dog, dolphin, or a horse.
I'm more of a cat person, than a dog person. This article has me wanting to try dog. I've had beef, chicken, pig – why not try dog? I can't stand dogs, so I don't think it would be a problem for me. I wonder if anyone has any special recipes for cooking dog. What spices should I use? I think I can pick up some dogs at the pound for next to nothing – maybe even for free, and I do need to save money, so this could be great. I sometimes see strays around my neighborhood, so I may try that as well. What a fascinating article. I'm gettin' hungry!!!
Spiritually bankrupt. Pretending wisdom and logic won't save your soul.
@maya um. wow. listen. i know you said you don't like it when people put @maya in the response, but it's the only way to make sure you know it is YOU i am trying to reply to. I understand you might be upset that people seem to be disagreeing with you and arguing against you. but at some point you have to stop being so defensive and try to understand WHY people are disagreeing SPECIFICALLY with you.
now, i don't know who you are or what lifestyle you lead, and i'm sure that if hard pressed, you can come up with examples of how you are not ignorant of other cultures or how you embrace diversity. but seriously dude (or girl, i suspect) you have to get a better education. anyone who says that korea has a 100 year old history is just wrong. no matter how you try to frame it. people have posted links to a wiki, do yourself a favor and go read it. don't be defensive. just open your eyes and acknowledge that what you said was wrong. plain and simple. saying i was misinformed is not as hard as you might think. i'm just trying to help. seriously.
People???? hahahaaha. More like a Sybil. Statistically, it's not possible that many people can't read or are that mentally challenged in one thread. Now I said this "korea has a 100 year old history" ??? Misquoting over and over is kinda a big give away. Maybe the next person-I mean personality can claim I created electricity in Korea.
@maya. i believe this is from your previous post? "Korea is only about 100 years old it was split into the North and South around 1945." just a word of advice. don't pretend you didn't say things on discussion forums, because people can actually scroll up and paste your exact words. yeah i know. it really sucks.
now, if you're trying to sell the argument that you didn't use the word "history" and your statement is being misinterpreted, i do agree. you didn't use the word "history." but then, if that wasn't what you were implying, why did you say what you said? surely you weren't randomly citing dates when world government bodies were recognized by the UN. why else would there be a reason to point out that "korea is only about 100 years old"? it's not. really. korea has had many governments before that dating all the way back to 2333 BC, meaning that they lived in the same land for a lot longer than 100 years. and also, there was no recognition of a unified "Korea" by the UN until after the Korean War, which (as you mentioned) divided the country to North and South Korea at around 1945, which would still technically make it closer to 60 not 100, no? guess how i knew. yeah. WIKIPEDIA. remember what I first told you?
so where exactly did this 100 years old statement come from? see, this is what I'm trying to tell you. get your facts straight. and whatever your argument, (i'm really sorry to say this,) you're still REALLY wrong. hope this helps!

First of all wolves are not prey animals, they are predators. Korea is only about 100 years old it was split into the North and South around 1945. America had people here long before the Europeans arrived, so I don't get your ridiculous point of who has the older culture. There's nothing worse than a dumb c***. Maybe too much doggie is rotting your brain.
July 1, 2011 at 12:42 pm |
Damn you are STUPID, at least you actually took the time to actually READ what I wrote this time. I have always stuck to what I wrote and corrected your lies. The 100 years , I was referring to the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea, Google it. It was actually around 92 years, knowing how petty and mentally challenged you are I have to make that clear to you. 1945 they split seems obvious, I hope I don't have to spell that out? Usually when people take cheap shots at the US saying how young it is and how old their country is, it's comical to point out their own country is not all that old themselves. My comments seem obvious. The sad thing is your comments, under all the different names, are all over the place and it makes you sound like a loon. Please take your meds.
I would say it is more of a difference between carnivore and herbivore. Humans probably are designed to eat animals which are herbivore – and probably the ones which we can be caught and killed with our bare hands like goat/lamb/chicken – that is why we will not try to eat Lions/Tigers etc. Of course there will be always be exceptions – culturally and genetically – and so some might practice cannibalism.....
Truly, I don't think that eating dog is any more intrinsically "wrong" than eating pigs, cows, or poultry. You have to understand that this aversion to eating dog comes from a cultural taboo - just as our aversion to incest, or cannibalism. Morality is culturally constructed.
Still, I would say that it is a particularly powerful aversion, because of our tendency to empathize with dogs, whereas on the whole we don't tend to empathize with pigs, cows, poultry, etc. Personally I strive to empathize with every sentient being, and so I'm a hardcore vegan.
@maya. i hate to break this to you, but you seem really desperate trying to support your obviously flawed statement. sometimes you have to just let it go. seriously. the government you are talking about was indeed established around 100 years ago, as a temporary government body to resist against the annexation of korea by japanese forces. but did you know there was a government before that called the josun dynasty that had stuck around for oh.. five hundred years or so? the government before that was the goryeo dynasty, before that would be the unified shilla dynasty, before that would be gojoseon. as i told you before, it spans all the way back to 2333 BC. and these were all governments that were recognized by the neighboring countries, maintaining sovereignty over the peninsula. so why would you pick the one arbitrary government body that was formed as a result of a resistance movement (just so happening to coincide with the random number that you pulled out of thin air) that not even south korea recognizes as the first official government? the first official "south korean" government as depicted by most south korean texts is the one established after the korean war. before that, a unified korea has had many previous forms of government stretching way, way back in time. i'm happy you are actually trying to know more about the history of korea. i just hope you're not desperately looking for any kind of evidence that would sound like it half-supports what you're saying.
now you said, "Usually when people take cheap shots at the US saying how young it is and how old their country is, it's comical to point out their own country is not all that old themselves." i'm not trying to take cheap shots at the US. i'm 100% american so why would i? but i am interested in east asian history, and i am also a fan of stating facts. it is technically true that most countries have longer histories than the US. the koreans have lived in the same land since 2333 BC, but the US government has foundations that lie on a group settlers from europe. i noticed in an different reply (yes, i do read your comments) you argued that native americans were here long before that, so we should count them. the difference being that the US government was established not by the native americans but a group of europeans that immigrated here at around the 1600s. If we lived in a country in which our founding fathers were native americans, then yes, the US would have a very long history indeed, dating back to the time the native americans first settled here. but my ancestors did not wear moccasins and i'm pretty sure you don't follow ancient native american customs. see, the present day united states government is not the offspring of native americans, it is the european settlers. so it is very different compared to korea, where the koreans can trace back their ancestry a lot longer than you and i can. the same people lived in the same land that became modern day north and south korea. this does technically make korean history a lot longer than us. i hope you can understand this simple logic.
oh and one last thing. you seem to think i'm one guy posting under different names? i assure you i am not. i came upon this article through digg, and was curious to see what others thought about the article and read your rather mistaken comment and am trying to correct you. but since this is the internet, i guess it's pretty much up to you to believe me or not. oh well, hope this helps!
Come near my dogs and I will put a hole .357 in diameter thru you.
Honestly, the thought of eating dog disgusts me. Because there are so many other options and dog is Man's Best Friend. Not a meal.
BUT if people think they REALLY need to eat dogs, they should gather up all the euthanized dogs from pounds and such and eat them. Don't breed and collect dogs for FARMS. That is ridiculous and CRUEL.
If we all make such a huge deal out of it, lets go Vegetarian yayy!
Your prior reply: Uh duh what was a 100 years ago 1945 was 65 years ago not 100, now all of a sudden you are claiming to be an expert on Korean history, too funny. Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea was a turning point for Korea, that's when it started to become recognized internationally as an independent country with a Gov. that's why it's significant. When I wrote this to explain to the first confused idiot "Italy didn't become a country until the late 1800s, does that mean the Roman Empire didn't exist" Rome had a Gov Rome had a history, how many different ways do I have to explain the same thing? It seemed pretty clear what I wrote. Another idiot seemed to know exactly what I meant, acknowledged it,then blathered on about thousands of years of history. Never once did I mention anything about history. Never in my wildest dreams did I think a cheap shot reply to Erzhik would become a fishing expedition for imbeciles. Never. Guess what if you feel the impulse to still explain Korea has thousands of years of history when I repeatably said it's not what I was talking about, please take your own advice: "i hate to break this to you, but you seem really desperate trying to support your obviously flawed statement. sometimes you have to just let it go"
Well when choosing any kind of meat to eat it must first pass the test of whether it was designed for humans to eat or not.
Just because you don't fall dead after consuming dog does not mean it has not caused severe problems in your mind and body that will come back to haunt you later in life.
Someone made the statement that it is no different than eating pork...well you are right about that one.
I know most people could not care less about what the Bible says but if you follow the food rules in there you can't go wrong.
Hence the name Space Wizard. Keep space truckin', ace!
Hey Space Cadet that makes you a hyporcrite then. So with that analogy, you have any family members that you love right. If offered a piece of them you must eat them . Go to Mars where this kind of thinking is allowed
You can dislike eating whatever you want but do not infringe on other peoples rights to eat what they want! If you are offended just remember it is their right to eat what they want whether you like it or not.
@MAYA ....@maya....@MaYa.....................just let it go...you will not win in this thread...your life must be about finding peace away from human approval.....peace within yourself...you cannot yell at the wind and hope it will stop blowing.
@Joe (the Korean) well said.
@everybody...I love to watch women have sex with dogs...it's just hot and the dog seems happy about it too...lol
@ God...you are dead....you are a poor product of a human's need to be self rightous in the face of their fear of being insignificant.
@ President Obama.....Stop reading telepromters...it's tacky and makes you look like you don't know your topic.
@ TacoBunny...you are the greatest comedy duo in the world.
@dogs in Korea....sucks to be you.
@ me.....soon this life will be over and the planet will recover from humans...so I don't have to kill myself saving it.
If Space Wizard and Veronica Galistan were to breed, the resulting offspring would be simply lumps of flesh bereft of intellect. Shouldn't be a problem consuming that, right? Problem solved!
You are not soo smart yourself. Dog lovers do not eat up their companions. You should be reported to the SPCA.
I'd sooner see people sterilized than see people eat animals. One would protect people; the other would protect animals.
mans best friend not food
I am just glad we don't systematically slaughter cows, chickens, and pigs. That would make our moral outrage at people eating dogs look like nothing but a bunch of hypocritical BS.
The difference is that dogs are companion animals. Pigs, cows, and chickens are bred and raised specifically for food. Huge difference.
Until you absolutely eat no meat, don't judge!
Are you saying nobody keeps pigs as pets?? Apparently the Koreans raise dogs for food....I guess it doesn't count unless Americans do it also? Think before you post.
And dogs are raises specifically for meat in these countries.. same thing.
As the article points out, dogs are raised as a source of meat and not just as companions. They worship cows in India. They eat horse in Denmark, and donkey in Italy. PIgs are considered unclean to muslims. Put away bias and how we view a given species of animals and accept various cultures have various bleifs. I get so tired of people wanting the world to adhere to our standards and beliefs. Let them eat dog. I'm passionate about horses, but I also accept they taste good with BBQ. If I don't agree with it, I don't have to eat them and neither does anyone else for that matter. Unless you're a pure vegetarian, odds are you're offending someone with the things you eat so by your own standards, should you give it all up?
Stillson: I am glad that your phoney distinction makes you feel better, but it's still BS. The dogs being eaten in Korea are being bred and raised to be eaten. Not only that, but pigs are at least as "smart" and sentient as dogs. How is raising animals in horrible conditions just to eat them any less repugnant than eating dogs?
I eat no meat and the look on the dog's face in the picture is why. I see that same look on the faces of pigs, cattle and chickens that pass in livestock trucks on the highway. Everyone must make their own decision and I have decided that the taste of meat is not worth the price the animals pay. As the original golden rule said: "Don't do unto others what you would not have them do unto you." In this day and age it is so easy to go vegetarian, you can even buy a tasty veggie burger at Burger King. But again, it is a personal decision.. to each their own.
Why are people comparing dogs to pigs? A pig gets loose from a farm, it changes back into a wild pig. Within weeks, its body changes back. A dog gets loose from his home, he doesn't turn into a wild animal in a few weeks. As a matter of fact there have people and dogs who have been separated for years and the dog acts the exact same way when they see their owner. Domesticated dogs don't turn into wild animals, And for the people who aren't too bright, feral does not equal wild animal.
Dhondi, you don't seem to like much about this country so why not leave? Also, who is saying slaughtering cows, pigs and chickens is acceptable. I think there are people trying to change how animals are viewed but for now it's legal. The main difference between nations is the level of humane practices. The U.S. has plenty of changing to do but Asia is a foul and also suffers some of the worst human rights violations as well.
Maya: It's got nothing to do with domesticated, feral and wild. It's got to do with the fact that pigs (and other animals) are made to suffer intensely so that we can eat them. If it's not okay to do that to dogs, it's not okay to do it to pigs and other animals. Also, I would love to see the evidence for your claim that domesticated pigs magically undergo a physical transformation into wild boars if they get loose. I don't buy it.
dhondi,
you are a hypocrite. your argument that "wrong is subjective" is self-refuting. by trying to convince me that your opinion is correct you are ultimately showing that you want me to think your way, which ultimately shows that you DO believe there are absolutes. you relativists can't even get out of your own way.
Well lazy, there is this thing called Google and countless shows on Animal Planet. The one on Hogzilla mentions it, do your own research.
All I could find was unconfirmed assertions with no scientific evidence, and I'm not gullible enough to consider "Hogzilla" a credible source. Finally, I stand by my assertion that if it's not okay to do to dogs, it's not okay to do to pigs and if it's okay to do do pigs, its okay to do to dogs. Issues of domesticated vs. feral vs. wild are completely irrelevant.
In most asian cultures, there's HUNDREDS of items that are claimed to raise stamina and some have even been tested...and did NOT raise stamina. Just because someone claims that eating dogs is acceptable in their culture doesn't mean it's right and also does not mean they should be speaking on behalf of their entire culture. I have several asian friends who are beyond repulsed by this behavior. That would be like a pedophile (who in their own way belongs to a subculture of pedophiles since there are hundreds of thousands in this country) claiming that molesting children is acceptable in their or our culture...DOESN'T MEAN IT'S RIGHT. If they are running out of food sources, maybe various countries (including our own) should put a limit on the amount of children people can have and conserve our food resources. ~Also a vegetarian
The difference is that pigs are made out of BACON!!!!
I love bacon.
Oh look what I found on Google, something you could have done:
Since different groups of feral pigs make the same morphological changes (back to their original wild type), it is doubtful the changes are genotypic in origin. These changes are most likely phenotypic. That probably means that pigs evolved (under artificial selection in captivity) a second phenotype (short haired, no tusks, etc.) while retaining the original wild type phenotype. Perhaps a second developmental program has evolved in captive pigs, while the original developmental program is retained.
The ability to express 2 or more different phenotypes by one organism is known as phenotypic plasticity, and it is more likely to occur in plants than in animals in nature.
"Phenotypic plasticity is the ability of an organism to change its phenotype in response to changes in the environment."
Pigs in captivity therefore may have evolved phenotypic plasticity, and they have the ability to either express the wild type or the captive bred phenotype depending on the environment they find themselves in.
And before you say it doesn't show how long it takes, again, look up it yourself. Go get a book. Their body changes once they go back into the wild.
You are a moron, plain and simple. Oh wait, don't we have pigs and cows who are trained to aid police officers, the blind, sniff out sickness, been known to rescue humans. I say it again, if you don't know the difference between the intelligence of these animals, you are a moron. I'll bet you eat dolphin, too.
I don't consume any animal products, therefore I can express outrage at Korea's dog meat industry without hypocrisy.
and before I get a lot of hate mail from my last post (I am the opposite of morally superior- I was kidding a little) I will clarify that one of the reasons why I became vegetarian about 10 years ago was because I couldn't see much of a difference between eating pigs and cows and eating dogs. I've always been bad at seeing things in shades of grey...
Leaving out all hysteria about how much you love your dog, and s/he is beyond brilliant, loving and faithful, I think we have to realize it is not our right to go into countries with cultures older than ours by far and demand they eat the same food we do or they are "backward"! In our country, we view dogs as pets, and we love them and pamper them to the point of distraction. I have a dog I consider to be the "greatest dog in the world" and she even sleeps with me at night. I LOVE that dog, but not all dogs are loyal and loving just because they are dogs. Many are even killers, and not always because they've been mistreated.
The fact is, I think dogs are a distraction from stress of daily life, difficulties we all have to deal with, loneliness, all those things. That does NOT mean it's that way in Korea, nor does it have to be. We have enough to do just keeping our own country in control; we do not need the headache of trying to control other countries eating habits. There are lots of things commonly eaten in other countries that Americans would think ridiculous. Koreans didn't even have pet dogs until about the last 23-30 years, I think. Maybe a very few did, but it was not the norm and still, most do not. This should not be our business. Korea is way ahead of us in many things, and judging by many of these posts, manners and common courtesy are a couple of them–not to mention technology.
As far as pigs not being pets, ask anyone who has a Vietnamese Pot-belly pig whether or not the make good pets. They are every bit as good as dogs, loving, and extremely trainable. Most people who have them do eat pork; they just don't eat their own pet pig. I love my dog and I love lots of other people's dogs; I even belong to a dog club in which we get our dogs together to play, but I don't think I should tell someone on the other side of the world what to eat.
Pot-bellied pigs are companion animals to some. Rabbits are companion animals to some. Horses to some. Dogs were NOT bred by humans as companions – they were bred for meat and for work (pulling travois, as an example). Each culture has its own outlook on various animals. Americans tend to be such hypocritical prigs who think they are always right and the world should be their way or no way. Get over yourselves people!! (Yes, I am American) Coming from a culture that slaughtered buffalo, beaver, wolves and the native population of the land into near extinction ... ya.
Maya–any domesticated animal can go feral. Wild dogs are simply domesticated dogs that have been abandoned and either mated with coyotes or wolves or have banded together to survive. There are numerous cases of dogs going feral and eating people or attacking. Stop romanticizing animals. Dogs seek out domestication because it is what they know but also because it is an easy way of life (usually) when faced with survival, a dog will band with others, will track and eat humans and other animals etc. So will cats–any animal can go wild, for some dogs it takes longer–but for others, it does not take much to revert. The process is accelerated in times of famine. dogs are protein. Protein is the only type of food that is required to live. We can get protein from some vegetables but it is ALWAYS incomplete and must be combined with other proteins to get the full complement of amino acids needed to survive. When humans eat meat or seafood–all the amino acids are present in meat and sea food, no combination needed.
Should dogs be eaten? In America no–it is against the law–elsewhere? Given that Americans consume almost 95% of the worlds resources and then denies host countries the rights to do the same–Americans need to mind their business–WE do not eat dogs–but we have NO RIGHT to tell the rest of the world what they should eat–unless... they come to America and want to eat our dogs–you don't see India trying to tell Americans not to eat beef.
Stop responding to me and look up your own info, it's available online: Wild Dog is a Lycaon Pictus, a Domesticated dog is a Canis Lupus. You can NEVER ever ever play fetch and throw a ball with a wild dog, they will rip you apart. It's 100% a wild animal. Domesticated dogs that live in the wild are feral. In other countries like India, feral dogs lie around in their area around humans and eat human garbage. That's how feral dogs live in many countries. A domesticated dog will always be a domesticated dog even when they are feral.
@Stillson saying dogs are our companion food and cows, pigs, chicken are grown as food there's a huge difference... Well the dogs in question here were specifically raised as food. Nothing else. So there's no difference. Dumbass, did you even read the article?
@Stillson Dogs have been domesticated. They were not always a companion animal. Wolves are not companion animals but they're canine, would you eat one of them?
@Maya dogs can also revert to a wild state if left outside of contact with humans. Just for example, there have been incidents where a high number of dogs that were left behind by their owners onto the streets formed a pack and became aggressive to the point that they hunted and killed a human. Story was on CNN, and it is just one example of how they can be similar. Pigs are of similar, if not higher intellect than dogs and can be kept as pets, and this is actually done. The only difference is in the way they are brought up.
It's understandable that you do not agree with this practice, but you should not look down on the people who undertake these actions as it is something that has been integrated into their culture, and ultimately when compared to other sources of meat, there is little difference. This was written with no malice and is a simple attempt to shine some light on a topic that you seem to hold a certain degree of prejudice towards. I hope you will rethink your stance and become more accepting of a practice that is not as abnormal as it may seem here in Western cultures.
Dog Eating is gross, most people in China and Korea don't eat it and like I wrote a domesticated dog doesn't turn into a wild dog, it becomes feral one. No matter how many times I write that it won't sink in. If you have an opinion write it there's no need to involve me in your drivel anywhere on this page.
Stillson
The difference is that dogs are companion animals. Pigs, cows, and chickens are bred and raised specifically for food. Huge difference."
this is one of the most ignorant things written and it is being repeated a lot by you meat eaters. Let's get this right–because chickens, cows, goats, and pigs were "born and bred to be eaten" they no longer have feelings to be considered?
They no longer feel? They no longer have Central Nervous Systems? Their intelligence is discounted? They are doomed to very short and horrific lives because they were unlucky enough to be born into them? Take a good look at a cow or pig on their way to slaughter or at the slaughter house–hear them SCREAM?
But they do not count because humans have decided they got the black ball in the life lottery and too bad for them? HOW HYPOCRITICAL–you say these things because you want to keep eating meat.
Now me-I am a meat eater. I do not pretend that dogs are superior or better or more deserving of life than a chicken or fish or cow or pig. I am not yet at the point of eating dogs or cats or people–but to survive or if that is the only protein around and I need to live–you BET I'll eat it and I do not pretend we are humane about how we treat animals.
But we should all consider the spurious nature of justification in arguments–all the sayings, the lines, the justification for SLAVERY were the same things we used to argue for and against it (less intelligence so blacks and others were meant to be slaves, born into it so too bad for them–but not good to have white slaves....etc) it is all BS to make people think their own crap does not stink while screaming profusely about the stench of others.
They eat dogs–GEt over it–While Europeans spent the last 1000 years cultivating dogs into workers and "friends and surrogate babies" it is obvious for between 20 thousand years others cultivated them for workers and food. It is all a matter of perspective and no matter what–people in Korea or Switzerland or Africa or whereever do NOT owe us their minds or need to have our group think. All of you dog lovers who try to personify your dogs need to grow up.
And FYI–dogs ARE prey to wolves, bears, lions and any other carnivore, big enough or smart enough to take them on and kill them.
I wouldn't oppose the consumption of dog meat if they were slaughtered in the same manner as cows, pigs, chickens and sheep. That may be the way it's done today, I'm not really sure.
The aversion I have to gae boshintang (dog soup) is more the traditional manner of slaughter than the actual meat of the soup. I'll leave discovery of the traditional manner of slaughter to the curious, but it's designed to capture the "power" of the animal...
Well when choosing any kind of meat to eat it must first pass the test of whether it was designed for humans to eat or not.
Just because you don't fall dead after consuming dog does not mean it has not caused severe problems in your mind and body that will come back to haunt you later in life.
Someone made the statement that it is no different than eating pork...well you are right about that one.
I know most people could not care less about what the Bible says but if you follow the food rules in there you can't go wrong
It was not that long ago that we in the United States DID sterilize women, against their will, for "social issues"
I believe the last, in Virginia, was 1969.
Morality is for religious nuts. If you don't want to eat dog meat then that is your provocative. Remember that your god created animals for you and me to consume.
I don't think that means what you think it means . . .
Yes, and he created you for me to track and hunt down. It would be interesting to see if your value system changed if I could put you into a closed hunting area and issued license for hunting you. Winner to receive $ and the privelege of consuming your 'meat'.
you mean perogative... correct dog eater?
That's your "provocative"? Come ON, we can do better than that! Eating meat is gross...and delicious. We draw the line at dogs others at cattle. Truth be told eating meat is morally wrong not based on the animal but b/c of the impact on our health and planet. It's probably logically true that farming pigs and beef has a greater negative impact on the environment than farming dogs. The type of animal is morally irrelevant.
Wow. When I read comments like yours I think there should be a short test/quiz to pass before one is allowed to post. Incredibly ignorant there, Stevarino
Steveo,
Humans are animals. Can we eat your mother?
I wonder what a god would taste like, hmmm gotta go find one this weekend.
See the Twighlight Zone "To serve Man" better way to raise food.
Morality is not for the 'religious'. Morality is ethics, it is a common sense of right and wrong that society agrees with.
Should eating your child be wrong? Here in the U.S., it'd be considered wrong and murder, you can go to jail. So, does that mean it is okay to do it in another country that does not consider it wrong and that it is murder? You may say, your children and a dog are different... evolutionary wise, dogs have left the wilderness and have become our evolutionary foster children. They socialize with us... imagine a K-9 policy unit dog is retired, and the policy enforcement kills the dog and cooks it. Feels a little messed up? Same as it would to eat your children...
I believe you meant prerogative as opposed to provacative? Most people here shouldn't even be commenting until they've complete high school English. And, as far as meat is concerned, in tough times we all would eat what's available out of sheer necessity. In this modern day and age it is hard to believe this farming of dogs for food is a necessity but if it is so be it. Let them eat. If, however, this is done for some purpose other than to supply food to people who are truly starving then I find it to be relatively disgusting. I know my dog wouldn't view me as food even in the worst of times (more likely he would hunt for both of us as would I) and I can't imagine doing that to him. Joey's just to cool, anyway.
So morality doesn't matter until something bad happens to you right? I'm sure you wouldn't just stand there and say "oh this doesn't matter since there are no morals" if someone feasted upon a member of your family.
@stevo:
Morality has no association with religion or god.
Morality is rights and wrongs that are usually on a society level but often cross the entire world. Murder, rape, etc.. it's all 'immoral' by that reasoning.
Religion simply tried to piggyback by writing it up into their doctrine and placing a face onto the creation of it. Just consider it a human thing.
If I EVER see ANYONE killing a dog or cat to eat I guarantee you regardless of whom they are.................I will definitely be in prison because I will KILL that person as sure as there is a God!
ed sr, .you will definitely be in prison because you will KILL that person as sure as there is a God! ...
as sure as there is a god,... so what you are saying is that you won't kill that person..
OK, so did god give you that in written statement or as a will?
Either case, you are a good candidate for my bullet. Remember the gods will. No Exceptions.
If you believe that God created animals,you believe in the Bible; and you should know that God intended for us to eat from the Garden (vegetarians). Only after sin entered the world and the first animal had to be sacrificed in order to cover their bodies was then acceptable to eat animals, and there's a list of what can or can't be eaten.
I guess you can't expect any better from third world countries. Those Asians are morally bankrupt.
Yes, and we americans are flying high on a veritable motherload of ignorance.
Are you kidding with this comment? Why even waste your time typing this you ingorant sob. South Korea a third world country? Why don't you do some research prior to wasting other people's times as well.
South Korea has one of the largest economies in the world and is the size of one of our Great Lakes. Nothing 3rd world about it.
just think, if we were to start eating dogs and cats, it would effectively put a stop to all the strays. and you would not be euthanizing so many unwanted pets.
lol to the people thinking its morally wrong to eat a dog. Arrogance and ignorance at its finest. And good wholesome hypocrisy. "Not that poor dog!!!" "where we going tonight honey?" "was thinking the angus barn". That is their culture. do not forgot some places in the world do not eat cows or pigs! The dogs are grown on farms like the ones here. they aren't snatching peoples pets from their homes at nights or something. some people are pure dingnuts.
I believe this post was meant as sarcasm....just doesn't come across correctly in text.
Since when is Korea a third world country?
F*** you!
I'm Asian and I believe my moral standard is higher than yours. Just because we consume dog meat doesn't mean we are morally bankrupt. You need to get out more and travel to more places to learn more about our world . Don't stay in your little corner of the world incestingly cuddling up with your pet and tell us that we are morally bankrupt.
The Swiss and Poles eat dogs or use dog parts in food too–to this very day–did you know that?
I feel out of my chair laughing when I read that
I am married to an asian (I am caucasian) and we have lots of asian and caucasian friends and there is NO difference in moral standard
Asians can be just as piggy, nice, mean, polite, rude, moral and ammoral as africans, europeans, americans etc
you are a snob
I completely agree with you Joe.
Joe. ... and in North America we circumcise boys as a substitute to teaching them proper hygiene.
Boy, what a tangent to go off on. Do you often confuse issues like this? Or are you just still mourning the loss of your foreskin?
What a ridiculous comment, JJ! I didn't circumcise my youngest because I listened to people like you. He never had any problems because he was taught proper hygiene, but as soon as he was 21, he had himself circumcised because he thought it was a pain to take care of himself and he's never been sorry. Everyone isn't a freak about circumcision, and this forum is about eating dogs. As a newborn nurse, I frankly saw maybe 3 babies even cry when they were circumcised, and that was because they were hungry. You are over-reacting.....
Joe, americans bomb the living crap out of innocents everywhere, what "moral" ground do we have to stand on when lecturing other countries about right and wrong.
If we're going to make moral arguments, then we need to stop eating pork chops, bacon, ham, etc. But we don't because pigs are fat and ugly, and dogs are adorable.
Amd you wonder why people outside the United Statwes wonder why Americans are ignorant
And I think Indian's are ignorant for not eating cows. (Oh, but they don't get called ignorant because they aren't American) Hypocrites.
Matt, you are incorrect. They don't get labeled ignorant because they don't expect the rest of the world to conform to their beliefs, unlike Americans.
I understand the outrage by dog lovers since I am one as well... but if we think about this rationally, we eat Cows, and they are sacred in certain religions... Should they have any right to tell us not to eat beef? I can make all the arguments in the world about how you can see into a dog's eyes and see emotion and thoughts, but I've been around too much livestock to not say the same thing about pigs and cows. So I say... Eat more Chicken because they are really really stupid.
Likes this
Yeah, that is an awesome comment.
"it's just morally wrong"....."humans have been eating humans"....I love dogs. I think many are intelligent, but they are still animals. I think the Bible and common sense make it clear. It's not morally wrong to eat a dog, but it is morally wrong to kill a human and eat them, because you would need to kill them! Duh? The soccer team that survived in the Andes Mountains in the 70s survived by eating their DEAD friends, that's different. These people were already dead from the crash and it was an emergency. Dog? Doesn't sound apetizing. I suppose if there was nothing else and I was really hungry. Would need to be an emergency, but "morally wrong"? C'mom! Animals are animals and God has given us dominion over them. People have made pigs pets and they are as intelligent as some dogs. Who's going to stop eating bacon for this reason? Common sense. Use your head. People are people and animals are animals. But we are more than animals! Unless I am already dead, I don't want anyone chewing on my leg. I will leave that to the bugs when I die. C'mon, common sense!
An animal is an animal is an animal. I raise my own food – pigs, chickens, etc and there is NO difference between killing a pig for food, and a dog. In fact, I would have to say pigs are smarter and just as likeable. These "dogs are pets, not food" people are ridiculous. Maybe to YOU, in your affluent suburbs, sipping your $10 mocha latte from some multi-billion dollar corporation as you pour over your laptop – eating a dog (that is essentially just a wolf) seems "wrong."
BUT it is an animal, no different (in it's soul) than a pig or cow or sheep or wild dog. They should be killed humanely, and treated fairly and kindly in life. I am SURE that many, many dog "owners" in the US treat their canids far worse than many of the dog "eaters" do elsewhere.
Thanks for that lecture your highness! Now, go take a bath.
Thanks TIm! You too are an animal, no different in the soul! I'll treat you well then slaughter you too! I mean you are a human which is pretty much an ape- so who cares?
Tim, thank you for a reasonable post. I don't plan to eat dog since that's not a common food in our country, but I do think what you said is basically true, and not a hysterical comment somewhat equivalent to, "Everyone wants to eat Fluffy now, and she is like my own baby! In fact, take my baby first!" Is there no ability to listen to reason, or have you all just lost the point of the article?
This guys the smartest man in the forums. AND he grows all our food. Let no one talk shit to him.
Tim, valid point. To tell the truth, dog is quite tasty. I live in the US, but this was not always the case. When given the opportunity to try this delicacy I was happy to do so. We sit on our high horses and dictate what is wrong and right I have no right to dictate what another culture eats for food if it doesn't affect humans.
I am an asian American. I don't eat dogs. I eat beef, pork, and chicken, but I don't think eating dog to be immoral. After living here in the US for 36 yrs, I think politicians are immorally eating us all. So, what I desire to eat right now is "eating weasel politicians" in Washington. Grrrrrrrrrrr......
Dogs form friendships just as humans do. I know some of you are going to say this is ridiculous, but, if you look at how tame dogs interact with their human it is clear that they form a strong bond that can be deemed as friendship. As this is a defining characteristic of human societies it is clear that raising dogs for meat is inhumane. This is a short paragraph with lots of steps left out of the argument. It doesn't, however, take a lot of intelligence to see that eating dogs is wrong.
I agree with the idea of dogs being companions. But the article specifically states the difference between "pet dogs" and "meat dogs." The "meat dogs" are no different than our cows, pigs, sheep, etc. They are bred and killed for one purpose, food. There would not be the emotional bond to the "meat dogs."
Chickens, pigs and goats will all form long-term, affectionate relationships with humans, other animals and, of course, members of their own species. So, by your logic, should I not eat chicken?
Domestic animals are a source of meat. Some are mean and some are friendly. Many are tasty.
And you are intelligent enough to tell the rest of the world what is right and wrong?
BOO HOO! Killing dogs for food in Korea is just so baaad ... Koreans should do what we do in the US, put the dog in a kennel for a month and if nobody adopts it, euthanize it. Should Koreans also shoot up theirs dogs with chemicals to make them fatter or produce more milk or have more babies (like we do here)? What a bunch of hypocrites!! There are other cultures, norms, and world views other than our own. Happy 4th of July! Celebrate our freedom – but remember to resect the freedom of others as well.
The problem I have is that they are NOT eating dogs, tigers, lions and bears because hey are hungry. They are eating them because they think it will make their penis grow bigger , so they can be strong or it will make them smarter. Its sick
In biology and medical researches, people use something called FBS, i.e., fetal bovine serum. There are tens of thousands of labs using it in large quantity everyday in the country and elsewhere in the world. Think about how they were made.
Courtney you're an idiot. They eat them because they are a DELICACY as written in the article above. It's no different than French eating snails and Americans eating lamb's brain at a gourmet restaurant. And I guess you'll say eating oysters are wrong too?
Ignorant and dumbasses
We eat fish in America because it is supposed to improve our brains. People eat oysters and think they are aphrodisiacs, we eat tomatoes because they are supposed to fight cancer, we eat bran...we eat flax... we eat white meat because it is lower in cholesterol, we eat greens for the vitamin C and A...we eat–not just because we are hungry but also because of what our version of science says the food can do for us–same as the orientals. Get off that high horse before you break your own neck.
>>We don't brutally sterilize our young woman in the U.S. as they do in parts of Africa
Seeing how crack addicts keep having deformed babies after 'street sex', and then dumping them on govt welfare, I am for forced sterilizations of unfit persons (male and female).
Eating meat should be rated on a sliding scale. How much heart does the victim have. You can't see the 'Tsunami dogs' video, following the Japan tsunami and think.. 'Yum... they must be tasty!'. If you do, there's something wrong with you. Fish, lobster, pigs, are less likely to have that level of emotion. Some things have to be looked at on a scale.
Pigs are just as smart and show just as much emotion. Why do you think they're always smiling??? And I wouldn't turn down the dogs at after the tsunami because they're "heroes" for doing what they're trained to do (skills that could also have been taught to a pig), but because they'll probably cause me to grow a third arm or start a zombie militia.
Also, sterilizing people is a slippery slope. Where do we draw the line? Drugs abuse? Alcohol abuse? Welfare abuse? Poverty to the point of "not being able to sufficiently care for their children?" Better to not give the power to a holistically inconsistent judges.
How do you define an unfit person? How would you enforce this rule? Not very thought out in my mind.
Anyway topic on hand, why not eat dog or cat I mean they're animals and meat is meat, I'm sure if you were starving you would eat Dog.
My uncle had a couple of pet pigs for a while. They are just as smart (if not smarter) than dogs. I also agree that they are tasty. If it's in a culture to eat dogs, more power to them. Welcome to the real world, where things get eaten.
Also, somebody mentioned that humans have been eating humans since the beginning of time or some crap like that...? Doesn't that cause disease? I'm inclined to disbelieve that.
The attachment to pets can be at both personal and cultural levels. If a people doesn't have the culture, say with dogs as pets, instead they only had a culture with dogs as food, why someone can contemplate them? As a species, humans agree we should not eat each other. This is the bottom line, not about dogs. We should pay more attention to spending a million dollar apiece on a missile friendly killing members of the same species in other land. After all, we don't often see or hear wolves killing each other for oil, or lions killing each other for money.
You are a loser. Tons of women and men are abused in America. First way is by the religion shoved down their throats.
I have eaten dog and lots of other things. It is all cultural and I would never insult someone by being offered their best dish for a visitor. I eat it, smile and try more and more and get used to it. Get a life and get off the computer with your stupid thoughts.
its something we should practice in america. a women who has 12 kids has had all of them taken away from her by the state and guess what she is still having kids.
No, they don't "sterilize" young women in parts of Africa. They "circumsize" young girls. Generally with no anesthetic, using dirty tools or a piece of broken glass, and on the dirt floor with other women holding her down while she bleeds and screams.
In recent years, the Swiss have been protesting the large-scale breeding of St. Bernards by the Chinese for slaughter. Why do the Chinese breed St. Bernards? Because their love of humans and docile nature makes them easy prey and they are large and grow fast.
People are disgusting. Dogs are more loyal than we are. And, no, I don't eat pigs either.
"Dogs are more loyal then we are" ... Well, I suspect there is a 50/50 chance of your dog wanting to eat YOU. Dogs kill people. Dogs sometimes eat people (cases of dog eating baby's toes off, cases of dog eating invalid's feet) I have a couple dogs. I have no urge to eat them, but that doesn't mean I should order other countries and cultures to do as I do.
Dogs indeed are loyal–but their loyalty is never to their own kind it is to another species which may beat them, sexually abuse them, kill them, starve them, force them to fight, force them to breed–at will. If dogs were more like people–we would at that kind of loyalty as a sick collaboration entered into for advantage–nothing noble into it (the same way people despise collaborators who suck up to an invading army)
So what of loyalty? If they were truly capable of loyalty–why don't they have it for each other instead of a very different species? AHHHH YES–dogs like the perks–don't they?
And we like them because they are loyal to us–no matter what we do to them–seems to me they are sort of suck ups who are also opportunists and possibly stupid–not that I do not love my dog–nothing better than a furry sycophant who licks my feet and thinks the dregs from my plate are like ambrosia. FAce it–humans like dogs BECAUSE of a loyalty that denies the dogs on race/species and because we have bred them to worship our race/species. Do we really love dogs or love how they make us feel? If so–at what cost to themselves? Ah yes–the PERKS..............
Interesting and specious analogy, forced sterilization "in Africa", where two countries employed that practice, ignoring China or even the US history of forced sterilization of African Americans.
This is a CULTURAL item, where dogs were PRIMARILY FOOD FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS.
But, you judge other cultures by your own filter and DEMAND that they obey YOUR cultural norms. In short, you prefer the rape and murder rape to American levels, along with what food they eat!
Do you like it when a foreigner comes HERE and tries to change our laws? Didn't think so. It goes both ways.
For the rocket scientists that claim that dogs are companion animals, you are foolish in the extreme. Dogs were BOTH working animals and emergency food for most of human history. You confuse modern companion animals with animals originally as guard dogs, sheep dogs, hunting dogs and even draft dogs.
Indeed, the golden retriever was thrown out as an example. It's a golden WHAT? RETRIEVER, it retrieved wild game that was shot by a hunter, not his companion. Bernese mountain dogs and Swiss mountain dogs, draft dogs, to pull a cart with the farmer and his milk to market.
So, who is the companion with the African wild dogs? Other than nobody. The Australian dingo, I guess that they kept company with the blonde bigfoot there, huh?
Maybe the dingo ate your baby...
What is morally wrong with raising and animal for meat? What is the difference between dogs, cats, chickens, cows or horses? Every one of them have lovely faces and can be a pet. But fewer people yell foul with cows than dogs. I am half Korean and I have never tasted dog meat nor do I want to. But I have had goat, sheep, cow, all sorts of fowl, everything from the sea except mammals, and even insects. Food is food. You should not kill your neighbors' pet to eat (unless it's war time or famine) but if you raise a dog for FOOD and it is livestock they should be able to eat it. People should not judge what others do in other countries. Now these people, out of guilt, spend money on animals like they are humans.
The problem is people humanize dogs and other animals as well and then they have some issue against eating dog because they see a fellow human not a potential meal. People forget that as Humans we are animals. We are in the same Class as dogs. That class being Mammals. Through out the Animal kingdom you find that many mammals eat other mammals. As it is we eat a lot of other animals. I would have no problem eating dog, I just wouldn't eat my pets.
If you're talking about the difference between people going hungry or people having something in their stomachs when they go to bed at night, I would say that any animal is up for discussion.
That being said, it sounds to me as though dogs are being eaten based on old wives' tales – certain animals DO NOT possess certain "benefits" of increased sexual potency nor do certain animals possess the ability to increase energy or stamina levels, or make you smarter, etc.
The answer to this problem is EDUCATION. That's how young girls in Africa are made safe in their own homes.
It is amazing to me how morally superior we Americans are to everyone else. Who are we to pass judgement on one culture or another? With regard to cruelty, I agree that there are things that are shocking to us, however that doesn't make them wrong. I have lived in Korea, lived with its people, loved it there, and yes have tried all the local quisine. I have three dogs, and have also raised my own beef, pork and poultry. In addition I hunt, fish, and grow my own food.
Let them eat what they want, for their own reasons. There is obviously a demand for it there, the animals are not on an endangered list and guess what. They really don't care what we think of it.
Good post, fitzi! Not many are really using common sense, and are too removed from raising their own food and being close to the land. I suspect those of us raised in the country and who hunted and gardened understand the whole process a lot better, and have less time to stand in judgement of other cultures. Too busy living our own lives to live someone else's......
That's where the problem comes from. People telling other people what to (or not to) do. Don't we have enough problems in this country, to enforce our morals to different countries on other side of the globe? Nobody forces YOU to eat dogs, but don't judge other people, who's life and culture you're ignorant of. Sure I won't eat dog in US; it's illegal. And for sure, I won't mind a nice dog stew in S. Korea, China or Vietnam. Also, I never turn down a nice hard Hungarian salami (made, if somebody is ignorant, with addition of horse meat). Yammy!
If we are comparing species, cows, in general have the same cognitive abilities as dogs. They are just as smart and have personalities not unlike most dogs do. This is purely a matter of cultural differences. Although I do not agree with eating dog, in poorer countries it may be one of the only sources of protein available. I love my dog, she is my child. Would I eat her? NO! I would rather starve. However, with that said, if I were to travel to Korea and be offered dog meat, I would try it. As long as I do not see what the dog looked like before slaughter (puppy eyes) then I would try it. Does that mean I would make it a habit and try to bring the practice to our country? NO! NOT EVERYONE HAS TO BE LIKE AMERICANS and NOT EVERYONE HAS TO BE LIKE KOREANS! Deal with it!
they are not! Cows are sweet – granted but they are totally dumb. plus we should not eat meat at all unless we eat humans too, all or nothing I say!
@sosafesosaneandsosecure Cows are not sweet. You anger or startle cows, and they will trample you to death without a second thought. I think people forget that only very FEW species are devoid of their natural instincts which is fight or flee. You do the same to cute little ducks swimming in the pond, they will squack at you in anger to protect its chicks. Same for you. If you had a baby girl or boy and some pedophile schemed in front of you to kidnap him/her, you would attack that pedo.
As for the "all or nothing" comment.... So I guess you're either really poor or really rich? If not you should strive to be. You're either a REALLY bad person or really good person? Stop kidding yourself.
That's a perfectly valid analogy. Why kill animals bred for hunting/protection/companionship? I guess it's what you're used to. I'm not going to eat dog.I'll stick to livestock and fish/shellfish
I've got an answer for your perfect valid analogy. These dogs were bred and raised for consumption. Not companionship, not to assist in law enforcement task force, etc.
We as man domesticated dogs for companionship. THey really are man's best friend. I think it is a very sickeing practice and needs to be halted immediately. Now I know that won't happen, but I will do my little bit to help it get recognized and abolished. Sick question and horrible article. The picture breaks my heart!
Americans have a very hard time, distinguishing their own culture, mores and society from the rest of the worlds. Usually a 3 year old thinks the way the world looks and is to him is how it is to everyone else. As we grow older we learn it is NOT that way to others not in this country–not in the rest of the world.
Who the hell is "We" "we did not domesticate dogs" a certain group did. We may not use dogs as food but many Americans and others have during migrations out west. When the food runs low–dogs are usually killed and eaten BEFORE horses.
Just because we make something pets in the west does not mean the rest of the world see it as a pet. STOP imposing our view on animals on the rest of the world–Asia and other cultures have been eating dogs for THOUSANDS of years–even native Americans ate dog. If you think that eating an animal we revere as a pet is sickening imagine the Billion or so Hindus who have to think on us eating an animal they revere as a god (they see cows as holy and gods) so we are sickening too?
Learn where the line is drawn–if famine grips the world–not only will most of us run to eat our dogs and other dogs–we may eventually rush to eat rats, bugs and finally each other–if that is what it takes to survive. As for the reasons they eat–no different than the reasons we eat–look in any woman's magazine–they will tell you to eat certain things for lycopenes to reduce aging or fight cancer–or to eat salmon for the omega 3 fatty acids=--HORRORS! How can people eat salmon? Are they not living? Do they not bleed when you cut them? Don't they have hearts?
Oh yeah, salmons don't suck up and kiss much butt like dogs–and they are not great to pet–cute or not–dogs are meat–and where people want to eat them for any reason–butt out. Not your dog. Not our country. Spend more time minding American business and less time trying to judge the world–we'd be a lot better off as a nation.
Guess what. Your ancestors in the very first few years of American colonization ate people from their own colony in the winter when there were no food. There's a picture for ya.
And trust me, the minute you start to force South Korea to conforming into your beliefs because you think is wrong; the Asian economies will start to think "America never pays their debts... should we even associate our economy with theirs?" It won't happen but it's not different in any form.
Unless you're a vegetarian, Joe, your simile holds no weight. Meat is meat. The emotional attachment some place on dogs as pets is really the issue here. In other words – the seemliness of whether or not to eat eat dog meat is simply an opinion. How is a dog any different than a cow, a chicken, or a lamb?
I ask that people open their eyes to the big picture please. Instead of trying to decipher what types of meat are ok to eat and not ok to eat, shouldn't we step back and ask ourselves if we should even be eating meat? Economically, ethically, environmentally and for health purposes, it really doesn't make sense at all for us to be eating any meat. Not to mention that our bodies are not designed for meat in any way. The most common misunderstanding is that our canine teeth are for meat. Well, then why can't we take a bite out of the backs of animals? We have to use forks and knives to tear into what has been raised to be slaughtered for us. If you want to eat meat or feel you should be, atleast try to do what Mark Zuckerberg is doing.
See, this is what I'm talking about. You immediately jump on the "let's all be vegetarians, and don't eat meat of any kind!" bandwagon, and then use phrases like "tear into" a piece of meat, when in reality, we use a knife and fork when we eat vegetables, as well, so we will have some manners and not act like animals at a trough, no matter what we eat. I drink milk from a glass, too; not straight from a teat. I do NOT spend time ever trying to turn a vegetarian into a meat eater. Please stop trying to make this thread about vegetarianism vs. meat. It is not about that, it's about eating dogs in Korea, period.
In order to survive, the both the heart and brain require fat. FAt usually comes from animal sources. In addition, vegetables cannot sustain life. All vegetarians have to eat protein in order to live. They usually get this from soybeans and augment that with other proteins and no vegetable source is a complete protein with all 21 amino acids. People can survive without food for about 4 weeks, without water for up to two weeks, they will survive between 10 and 30 days maximum without protein–after that, they will be dead.
Statistically, we do not have the microclimates or the means to feed the entire world with vegetables–also it takes about 60% more food to sustain a person as a vegetarian than it does to sustain a person with meat–finally, vegetables especially refined vegetables are full of carbohydrates which while an energy producer short term, is also a catalyst for instigating the insulin pathway–this ultimately leads to a burn out and type 2 diabetes if not modified with protein. There is no panacea. The closest are research into using certain marine algaes as food sources but we are not there yet. The world will never be able to live as vegetarians solely–but if we come close we will have to rid ourselves of those animals who still require meat to live–ie predators–that includes dogs–who eat animals and animal by products. Or do you imagine we can grow enough veggies to feed pigs, dogs, cats and all the other predators in the world who depend on meat, also?
People should be able to eat dogs if they want....as long as they don't mind me walking up to them and splattering their brains all over the ground with a bat. I'm good with that exchange.
Yeah... you should try that in South Korea. They won't kill you or make you so wounded that you won't feel pain. They'll probably dislocate your shoulders and elbows and find the most painful way to make you pay.
Not the rest of the world think of homicide as sensitively as America does. In most countries outside the Westernized world, death is just another part of life as it should be. An average homicide rate in Perera Columbia would be 17-25 in the weekends. Instead, they'll just make you suffer rather than splatter your brain and let you die so painlessly and easily. There's worse things than death, and death isn't so bad. It's just another part of life.
The only difference between eating pigs and dogs is that we have trained dogs to be our companions and pets for thousands of years, and we have historically raised pigs as meat. Dogs and pigs are of similar intelligence, and I bet some pigs are smarter than your average damatian. I wish we didn't eat pigs and would stop if I thought it would help, but we do and probably always will. I think the fact that dogs have been domesticated and have learned how to love people and sense their owner's feelings makes all the difference. It's something that pigs dont' have.
I appreciate that you are recognizing some of these facts. However, have you ever held a baby pig? Have you ever pet any animals aside from cats and dogs? Most of the meat people are eating is from animals that have taken not even one single step. All animals can become mans best friend without thousands of years of domesticating them. I have a buddy who raises animals of all types and trust me, they all are his best friend. His bears are the ones in the Dr. Dolittle films, Bart the bear was his name. Watching a guy run and tackle one of these guys and roll around and playfully wrestle means that you can befriend many animals if done so appropriately. Dogs were just easier to capture and train in the beginning. Look at the NFL players, basketball players, body builders, Mr. World! We do not need to be eating animals and just for your sake... Don't ask vegans where they get their protein.... It is not a smart question. It shows you know near nothing about health but rather what you've been told.
I was meaning the athletes that are vegan*** Which they are out there. Also, if the biggest mammals on this planet are vegan and can maintain their size and strength, I think little humans will do just fine without meat.
If you meant to type Dalmatian, I have to report that you are wrong. Dalmatians are among the smartest (and most stubborn) breeds.
OpenEyes: why is it not smart to ask vegans where they get their protein? Obviously they eschew meat products–so suppose you tell us where they get it, how it is grown and how they combine different veggies or marine products to do so–then tell us what the largest animal in the world eats–if you say plankton–understand that is not a veggie, it is an zoological (animal) organism and never equate what humans eat to any animal that has a totally different metabolism.
there are animals that can eat poisons and live solely off of rabbits–humans can do neither, due to our metabolism.
OpenEyes, if you're referring to whales; Whales eat fish. Fish are meat. Fish feel pain too.
And in case you want to make a legitimate comparison, animals that live in the water have completely different genetics than animals that live on land. The only exception to that are whales, orcas and dolphins and other marine animal that breathe air as main source of oxygen. And by the way, it's a MUCH different world in the water. It's not about eating fish or vegetables. Down there, all fish eat what they can eat and stay away from what they can.
Seems like a horrible and ironic price to pay (on the part of canis species) for giving their affection and loyalty to the human species.
Hindus consider the cow a sacred animal. Does that stop you from enjoying a good steak?
SOYLENT GREEN IS PEOPLE!
Horses and Dogs and cats have become our companions. After millenia of such bonding it seems cruel to eat one's friend. I suppose we should all eat bugs and leaves but plants have feelings too. Then again, if we ate the dead instead of burying them in pricey idolatrous mounds we'd be doing the environment a favor.
Basically, do what you will, but know that every action has a reaction.
And no, I will never eat dog or horse unless the Chinese have Indianapolis under siege.
just because you had a pet dog doesnt make it morally wrong to eat a dog.
The stigma of eating dog meat is a moral of convenience. In the Western world and in many other places, dogs are pets and are accorded a place of honor that makes it almost illegal to eat dog or horse meat. It is a moral of convenience because when humans get hungry enough many will eat anything including other humans. But before we proceed to cannabalism people can and WILL eat dogs and cats. Let the world get populated enough or famine hit the west like it does other parts of the world–then we WILL seek out and eat dogs, cats, bugs and yeah–even dirt. You betcha.
This is culturally insensitive. It is not appropriate for us to judge what they eat in Asia. It is a crime the average American dog is feed better than most kids in the world

I think we got the point already......
Great post!
But if only there was someone we could write about this..
Good post... I'm just not sure who to write to...
Well, I guess you didn't want anyone to have discourse, you just wanted to dominate the thread physically. Way to go, TruD, Do you have all conversations this way? Starting to hate vegetarians and vegans, you're too self-righteous....
Thanks for the info. I didn't know whom to write to to show my support. Now I do!
Dick pussy... OK, now I got CNN:s attention... I just wanted to report the comment this is a reply to. It is repetitive over and over in meaninglessness and destructive in its enormous length. Of course, I don't mind the slighest that this comment will be removed as well. It has then fulfilled its purpose, which wasn't to throw around provocative words, but only to get your attention.
actually joe america did sterilize minorites and the poor 40 yrs ago. google: npr, sterilization, north carolina
The woman who are career welfare recipients should be sterilized.
Off topic – unless you're calling them dogs and suggesting we eat them...
In point of fact, young women in Africa or other parts of the Third World are not forcibly sterilized. They are genitally mutilated to keep them from experiencing sexual pleasure. In those places, women are considered to be nothing more than chattels and breeders. Sterilizing them would make no sense whatsoever.
Where is the morality in killing a dog? It has nothing to do with morals.
They are an animal throgh and t
"Morally wrong"? That's a strong thing to say about eating dog meat. I understand the aversion, especially among Westerners. I understand the risk from a health point of view, as there is risk in eating anything that's a carnivore especially, as well as with omnivores. But morally wrong? Is it wrong to eat beef or pork, both of which large populations in the world would find morally wrong, sinful, and repulsive: Hindus & Jews/Muslims, respectively.
Perhaps it's the taste? It's hard to say you don't like the taste if you've never had it. I've eaten dog meat, 2 types of dishes, and found the taste to be very good. Perhaps it's because they're pets? The ones eaten aren't your pets, you don't have to slaughter them, and really most animals eaten can be made into pets.
So let's just say 'you' don't like dog meat, but to put that on others is an overstep.

LuLz!!!!! Space Wizard fails at science. Get off the internet Fred Sanford and get back to your junkyard.
Joe your analogy is completely ignorant and wrong. In 1907, Indiana became the first state to pass a law permitting involuntary sterilizations on eugenic grounds; at least 30 states would follow suit. By the mid-1920s, more than 3,000 people had been sterilized against their wills. These included the homeless, orphans, epileptics, the blind and deaf. Also sterilized were those who scored poorly on IQ tests, who were diagnosed as being "feebleminded." May 2, 2002, marked the 75th anniversary of the shameful Buck v. Bell decision, which has never been overruled and was cited in a federal appeals case as recently as last year.7 The Court’s action in Buck led to the forced sterilization of more than 65,000 Americans by 1979. Some states continued to sterilize residents into the 1970s. do a little research before you talk
Last time I checked humans were omnivorous. A dog is still a type of red meat. Don't get me wrong, I love dogs as a pet, but if we were both starving on a deserted island...'ol yeller is going on a flamin' spit and in my belly. Honestly sometimes I feel sorry for that poor cow that just wants to chew its cud, but that doesn't stop me from eating my cheeseburger for lunch.
Humans are made out of meat too. If you want to use that argument, you can justify cannibalism.
NO LIVING BEING HAS THE RIGHT TO CAUSE SUFFERING AND PAIN TO OTHER LIVING BEINGS, MUCH LESS IF THOSE LIVING BEINGS, LIKE HOMO SAPIENS SAPIENS HAVE ADVANCED INTELLIGENCE TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND IT.
WONDER WHAT WOULD BE LIKE IF HUMANS WEREN'T THE ADVANCED INTELLIGENT SPECIES, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SUFFER SLAUGHTER AND BE EATEN BY OTHERS????.......
Dude, chick, or whatever the hell you are.You are obviously not for life, im gonna go back and use the easiest saying that is animals kill animals all the time it is simply part of nature, we are nothing more than a very intelligent animal able to think about things like this confusing ourselves with our minds. If you really think people are so stupid and imperfect i'll give you a loaded gun and you can blow your brains out on the curb, the only reason we think killing is wrong is because we get to attached to things and then when those things leave you feel pain and dont want to deal with it so you repress your feelings or you let them out like you should and then MOVE ON
so.... dogs should all die of starvation?
They are carnivores... to survive they must cause other living beings pain and harm.
@doom, just to nit-pick; dogs are not carnivores, dogs are omnivores. They just have a meat-heavy diet.
and mutilating newborn boys by slicing of some of their penis is just as brutal and violent and it's a person not a dog. Does that make me antisemite?
What's wrong with eating dog meat?? Sentience. Dogs are a very intelligent mammal, like a dolphin or human. Most non-dog owners subconsciously dismiss a dog's inability to purse it's snout in ways that mimic speech to mean they're stupid. They're not, and anyone who really wants to care enough to think about example of dogs saving humans could get to that conclusion.
Dogs, if we are to believe cave drawings and ancient sculptures, were pack animals that followed wandering nomadic humans, understanding there was a benefit to pick-up scraps, while at the same time giving humans a curious form of protecting...barking at nearby predators. Invariably, the two grew closer than most mammals.
Frankly, most people like myself respect different cultures. On this, I don't. If people in any culture feel they just have to eat dog meat, an intelligent and far more loyal and forgiving partner than literally any human I know, frankly, you may as well eat your own human young. Frankly, you are beneath others.
The Romans ate dogs. Asia has been eating dogs for thousands of years. Pioneers in America ate dogs, the eskimo have eaten dog–most cultures have eaten dogs. For you , in this time and in this country dogs are not an edible option. Right now. But they are meat. In those cultures which predate almost all European culture, dogs have been eaten. Think about this–we are such a people that whenever we make a rule that governs how we live in America we think the rest of the world should be like us and follow our ways or rules? Why? Just because we have a very high opinion of ourselves does not mean that others have a very high opinion of us. Just because people want what we have–does not mean that they want to be us–they just want stuff like us.
So you'll judge the value of a person's life and achievements all with one factor that s/he ate dog meat...? Yeah you sound intelligent all right... American intelligent that is, which really means ignorant and retarded. So JUST BECAUSE the species is loyal to man... I guess you never ran into strays or pack of feral dogs because you live in the nicest suburbs where you won't have to worry about REALITY. Trust me. If you're from the suburbs, no matter how strong or tough you think you are, a pack of feral dogs would do its best to make you bleed out to death.
Ummmm, Erzhik, did you just say that wolves were PREY animals?
If you did, I would find a way to delete that comment if I were you. It makes you sound ridiculously ignorant.
What's wrong with it? EVERYTHING...... As a pet owner, which I really don't like the term "pet" as they are family to most owners, I cannot even fathom what they do to these dogs for them to be consumed. The thought is revolting. We have to eat to live, but there are just some things that should be off limits. Dogs, Cats, off limits. I wouldn't want to even travel to a country that would condone such actions. People risk their lives to save their pets from harm, to eat them is disgusting. We have dogs in all parts of our lives, pets, police dogs, war dogs, they are not meant for food. Look at how much they did to help people in the tragedy of 911, earthquake survivor searches, human rescues, etc. Can we really look at them and know the service and love they have provided to us isn't different than what we consider "food". It is. To those who think it is OK, if you are ever lost in the woods or trapped by mother nature in a horrible way, may all of the dogs of the search and rescue teams have a day off while you are scared to death without food and water. May they be in the comfort of a home with air conditioning with doggy treats and toys a plenty. Sometime during your tragic experience you will think to yourself, "I'm sure they are searching for me". Hmmmm....... Maybe you will become food to the "wild" animals that consider you a meal!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How many bomb sniffing pigs are there? How many lives do pig or cows save each year? To me, that is the big difference between dogs and other animals. Dogs give humans unconditional love and will often put themselves in harms way to do whatever is necessary to protect their (and other) humans. You don't reward them by serving them up on the dinner plate.
These dogs that are raised for food live in the most horrible conditions imaginable and are usually slaughtered by hand, some are skinned alive. The other dogs get to watch the whole process.
Pigs, chickens and cows save BILLIONS of lives each year. Insulin that is used to treat hundreds of millions of diabetics each year comes from the pancreas of pigs.
chickens are used as the food source for many vaccines and antibiotics. (the virus is injected and grows by using specific pathogen free eggs from chickens)
bovine serum is used in virtually all biologics except blood–meaning if you have ever had ANY type of vaccine or pharmaceutical product within the past 100 years, the substrate to make those products was either fetal calf serum or bovine serum.
Most people who apply sentimentality or emotion to issues like this are IGNORANT. In addition, downer cattle and bovine are often used as the "animal products" that are in dog food.
KNOW what you are talking about and try to learn things. More people owe their lives to pigs, chickens and cows than to ANY dog. (and I love dogs but DETEST sanctimonious ignorance)
So if Osama Bin Laden saved your life a day before 9/11, how would you hold him regards? Just because a person or animal saves another's life doesn't make them some sort of sacred being. We all die in the end. Guess what all humans get eaten too... By mother nature. Technically plants are living beings as well. And they feed off of the dead carcasses that our bodies provide. In the end, we are just slabs of meat with nutrients.
Let's not forget there are never TOO GOOD or TOO BAD people/living beings in this world. Everything is in balance... and to eat meat, to kill, and to die is part of that balance. Why? Because that's just another part of life. Face reality and get over yourself. The day where every animal is treated with respect and no one dies is the REAL END OF THE WORLD.
Actually, there are pigs trained for bomb-sniffing in some countries and the results indicate they are much better at it and learn much more quickly than dogs. Additionally, rats are used at airports in some African countries for bomb- and drug-sniffing and, like pigs, they are much better at it than dogs. And in Russia, there is ongoing research to use hyenas for “sniffing” purposes because they have a more pronounced sense of smell than dogs.
Unconditional love?! Get real! Dogs do not “love,” they do what is necessary to be fed and cared for and if that requires dancing around, licking their owners and acting like fools, they’s what they do. If you think your fleabag “loves” you “unconditionally” (or in any other way), have a neighbor start feeding it steak and hamburger instead of the processed dog food it gets at home and see how quickly your mutt transfers all that “love” to the neighbor!
I don’t know where you are getting your ridiculous information – probably from some psycho website like “For the Love of the Dog” – but dogs used for food are NOT “skinned alive” any more than pigs and cows are “skinned alive.” It would take extraordinary effort and an exorbitant amount of time to skin a food animal alive. Dogs, like any other animal slaughtered for food, are killed as quickly and efficiently as possible.
How many lives have cows and pigs saved? Countless millions who would have starved to death or died slow, painful deaths of malnutrition without beef and pork! Dogs, on the other hand, serve no useful purpose. They are unnatural (i.e., they did not evolve naturally) superfluous, unnecessary creatures and the world would be better off without them.
Joe, I hope that you are just a troll, and not actually that ignorant. There is nothing at all wrong with eating dog meat. They are just animals.
We Americans have got to quit forcing our own stupid pet-centered culture on other people. Dogs are not companions by nature.
Dog's don't exist in "nature"; dogs are a product of human breeding.
To you joe and everyone else who thinks this is wrong, why? Meat is meat people try to survive by eating, and over there that is just common tradition and culture. The thing that everyone forgot is that every animal is concious in some way or another, we simply have to be thankful for every bit of food eaten and share WHATEVER food we have so we dont get so hungry that we go back to eating people simply the most intelligent being on earth and a close second is dolphins.
Well, babies are legally killed in this country when people don't want them...
@naive, very clever, except for the being incredibly stupid part. Fetuses are aborted in this country, but fetuses are not babies. Babies are not (legally) killed in this country.
Jeez, it's gettin' so's these here comment sections are turning into regular donneybrooks. ....I wonder how long it's gonna take before we take this hostility into the streets and whether we will take it out on the "right" people.
Actually, all seriousness aside, I rather enjoy reading all this tripe. It is becoming clear to me that the vast and overwhelming majority of commenters (let's assume they are mostly American, shall we?) are parochial nincompoops who have never strayed beyond the confines of the mob turf. And I draw that conclusion based on the amount of passports issued in toto.
Remember that for thousands of years, haute cuisine often consisted of eating that which had been rendered incapable of eating one.
It is all about perspective, I suppose. Wasn't it Douglas Adams who said "Galactic civilizations tend to pass through three distinct phases of development, that of survival, inquiry and sophistication. The first may be characterized by the question, "What do I eat?". The second, by the question, "Why do I eat?". And the last by the question, "Where shall we have lunch?".......?
Anyway, my two cents amounts to this:
I like babies; but I can't eat a whole one by myself.
and due to the people who decide to kill them being the ones who have done what it takes to create them and have to incubate them in THEIR bodies and they come from THEIR egg and they will have to agree or not agree to allow a parasitic relationship it is THEIR choice and unless you were the donor sperm or egg YOU are not in it....THAT is a very different issue from dying dogs. People need to quit acting like all the eggs and the womb of a woman are public property to be debated and decided on by ANYONE/EVERYONE. Stay out from between my and my daughter's legs–we are not OWNED by society therefore NO ONE in this universe will tell me what to do with any part of me. I want it, I keep it-MY EGGS, MY WOMB, MY CHOICE. I don't want it–I get rid of it–MY EGG, MY PERIOD, MY CHOICE.
If you are a female, you can choose for your own vagina/womb/baby making–but your choice ENDS where my legs/vagina/womb and eggs (to keep or not to keep) begin and it will be that way–REGARDLESS of the laws of the land.
We used to sterlize young women in the USA all the way up to the late 1970's it was called the eugenic project. Since we have now learned that is not okay to do maybe just maybe so will other countrys when it comes to eating dogs.
First and foremost, we are all animals. Just because we segregate ourselfs and call ourselves something different does not change that fact. How intelligent we are versus a monkey or dog, or pig is all relative. Most mammals have similar sense of trust, love, fear, pain, grief. Just because they are less intelligent than us doesn't mean it is moral to mistreat or kill them. Next of course, we are not carnivores by nature. Our natural diet is more plant based than most would accept, and we would be better off to get back to eating primarily fruits, veggies, nuts, etc., etc. Our bodies were evolved for that. Meat is not a very effecient food source for us. We also other than rare occasions actually have to eat meat. That in and of itself is a cultural choice. Finally, killing and eating any living creature that thinks, feels, emotes, can love and protect (no matter if Dog, Cat, Monkey, Pig, etc.) has moral problems in my view and is abuse and murder no matter how we wish to convince ourselves otherwise. What is supposed to separate us from lower life forms isn't just intelligence its our ability to empathize, to love, and care for others of our own species as well as other species. That is why we can become bonded to our animals. I for one would take the same steps to protect my dog, cat, as I would for a human child, up to and including as a last resort injuring another human. For those out there who can't understand that, I feel sorry for you since I wonder if you truely meet the better definition of what it should mean to be human!
I think people can understand AND respect how you feel about your animals and your belief in the rights/abilities imbued in them. What people the world over cannot understand or tolerate is when anyone in any country tries to make their personal beliefs, prejudices and thoughts be the law of the land and impose them on everyone else.
here is some great advice–don't take your dogs to any place that can also view them on food. That would be many parts of Asia, possibly Alaska, perhaps parts of Africa and of course anywhere in the wild where the other animals will not realize how special either you or your dogs are. Dogs are still meat and can be eaten in other places. We can respect your beliefs BUT that does not mean people can or should adopt them. You do what you want and in America abide by the laws of the land–but your laws end where American territory ends and its a different ball game in the rest of the world. One of the reasons people DESPISE us as a country is because too many in our country are quite ignorant of the rest of the world and pretty self righteous. We point out our moral superiority as if it is fact and not just another position–among many based on our version of society and culture.
In other words–in America people do not eat dogs. Okay. In other places they do–and guess what? There NOTHING you can do about it. Even if laws are passed–it is just like the American preoccupation with liquor or drugs–if humans want it–they can get it and chances are people here in America are eating dogs too and we just never know–take care of your own home and impose your own beliefs there–we who have so little regard for human life that we bomb and destroy countries just to get more oil for our cars, are racist to a fault, have little to no punishment for rapists and molesters of children and will start wars based on lies–can not have the high road–when we try to get on it–people see ALL of our country for the hypocrites we are.
You brutally kill people in your country and in other countries. You brutally kill domesticated as well as wild animals. Who are you to say what is morally right. Korea is a much more peaceful, civilized, moral country than your country will ever be.
look at that sad face! These people are little more than cannibals! I saw a program once where they were dipping live cats in scalding water to skin and eat them and I was just phyically ill watching it. Those poor things were clawing and howling the most horrible sounds as they were boiled alive! How can any person do this!! If I were starving on a desserted island and the only thing there was me and a dog I'd die before I ate it! These people need some moral standards!
You know, whenever you go out for a nice dinner like eating lobsters; they throw lobsters alive in the boiling water too.
HORRIFIED: you do realize that as soon as you were weak enough, the dog would probably tear your throat out and eat you...or wait until you died then eat you–because a dog knows what you fail to grasp–in the matter of survival, meat is meat and meat is food and food is survival. So in the end–you would die, the dog would eat you, then the dog would die and either birds would eat his carcass, or another predator would get him, or the bacteria on the island would swarm all over his carcass and eat him up too. The only one likely to have had a chance to get off the island would have been the human–but being overcome with sentimentality –YOU would have died first. DARWIN principal in action.
I don't understand that logic. You eat beef don't you? You eat pork? Chicken? Turkey?
Hell, even vegetables are living organisms. So should I report you for abusing another living being? How is it "inhumane" to eat meat when meat is part of our diet? How is it "inhumane" when you got a group of people starving and torturing people to death with financial and social hierarchy?
Don't get me wrong. I'm born in South Korea, I live in the USA. I love dogs as pets... hell, actually if I had one they would be my family. I have never eaten dogs in my life. I would try it once maybe as I would try eating horse meat and guinea pigs in certain Latin American countries. If you order Chinese food takeout more than once a month, you've probably eaten cat meat at least once. You eat spam? Fast food? Yeah... Some of you people just contradict yourselves.
If you do a specific study on all the reactions of plants, you'll see that even plants feel "pain" when pulled from the ground. Just because you can't hear them scream or there's no blood oozing out, you think it's humane? You people are so dumb and ignorant. I don't understand how any of you function and have a legitimate career. Probably why you blame illegal immigrants solely responsible for job shortages and economic instability. Yet another idiotic thought.
They cut off people's hands in other countries and stone to death women in some muslim countries and this is your logic? Just because some subhumans like this practice doesn't mean they are right. I suggest we eat liberals. I am sure they meat is tasty and hey, why not. New Guinea people used to be cannibals. Must make it right. You're an idiot lady.
dogs evolved as companion animals to us over thousands and thousands of years. they are the only non-primate that understands what a fingerpoint means. This is not the case with any other livestock that we consume.
It is cold and counterintuitive to eat dogs, while it is much more natural to eat other animals that are there specifically as food sources. They are also PREDATORS, unlike pigs, chickens or cows or any other source of meat.
these are the reasons why eating dog is strange or shouldn't be acceptable in my mind.
Wow you really are stupid. If you're referring to dogs knowing the fingerpoint, it means they are domesticated. Domesticated means they are not predators. It may still be in them instinctively but the fact that you have them as PETS devoid them of such instincts otherwise they'd "put it to sleep."
Second, how is it more natural to eat cow and pigs than dogs? It's not MORE NATURAL to eat meat because it's been that way for years. It's MORE NATURAL to eat meat because there is an abundance of them. What kind of dumbass part of America did you come from?
Carnivorous predators are not food animals. Walleyed herbivores are food animals, they exist to be prey and be eaten. I don't eat dogs, nor wolves, nor lions, tigers, or bears. If that plain fact were not obvious and logical enough, there is also the fact that there such thing as a seeing eye pigs or bomb sniffing sheep. Goats do not guard you when you sleep and cows do not deter thieves and trespassers when you are away from your home. Dogs have earned the right to be treated as valued companions and loyal servants, which of course precludes being eaten, among other sorts of mistreatment and abuse.
I hope you are a vegetarian. Otherwise, your statements are hypocritical.
Some things ARE morally wrong depending on who you are and where you live. Like Americans eating cattle when in India they are considered gods. It all depends on the country you live in and what that culture finds acceptable and what they practice. The important thing is for us to know and respect the mores of the countries we live in and to have tolerance in understanding each culture is different and really in the over all scheme of things, NONE possess or have the higher moral ground when it comes to either behavior or food.
The problem is that dogs are literally connected to humanity's social evolution. Dogs were utilized thousands of years ago to allow farmers develop private property without having to actively guard their crops or land from intruding neighbors (e.g. I can sleep at night b/c my dogs will bark if someone invades my private land). Long story short: this precedent leads to dogs developing a quasi-human role as social partners, which is why they can be distinguished from other animals.
The real question is why do some societies continue the callous practice of subjecting "man's best friend" to inhumane treatment? I think they've proven they deserve much more, and any dog person could acknowledge that canines are often inextricably tied to the human soul.
It's also an obvious thing that human beings cause more harm to this planet than good. Does that mean we should kill all humans? No. Grow up and stop being so naive. This is reality. No one's holding your hand in Disneyland no more.
Once again Maya, you're an idiot. Official nation in according to the USA, Russia, UK, France, etc. The reason why I said official nation is because you don't need to register so that a nation from the other side of the planet can acknowledge you as a real country.
How fuckin condescending and disrespectful.
No Animal should be eaten! No Dogs, Cats, Pigs, Cows, Chicken, Goats, Fish and Animal I missed. Time for the world to go Vegetarian or better yet Vegan. The Death toll of Animals on the Planet is Astronomical, People just realize how many Animals are Slaughtered each Day for high Cholesterol causing, Artery Clogging, Cancer Causing Meat People eat each Day. You can live longer and Healthier by Eating a Plant Based Diet and you never have to give up Taste for it, plenty of Protein, Calcium, Vitamins and Minerals in a Plant based Diet.
Plants are living things too. Science has proven that they respond to stimuli ergo –they feel when they are cut, yanked and they "die" like every living thing–why eat them? Because you don't hear them scream? Stop eating all together–either come up with a nonliving food source to digest or stop being a selective hypocrite. We make the rules that are convenient to our ways of life–for those who like meat–that is okay–for those who like war–that is okay, for those who like to maim and rape–our laws give the most lenient sentences–it is okay–unless it is done TO us–then we are in an uproar. We don't mind the evil that the US does–as long as it is us doing evil to others–we draw the line, when it is time for turnabout. Stop the hypocrasy. Koreans should stop eating dogs (to appease the west) when the West stops eating beef (to appease India and other vegetarians) yeah. right.
It's not always about intelligence of the animal, but how it is perceived and people's emotions over logic. Logically, a pig should be saved as its intelligence is on par with a dog but its natural instincts to roll in the mud has doomed its image in most humans' eyes and this allows it to be consumed without much thought. It is human nature to feel uncomfortable and disgusted when something cute is killed (such as a dog) and something that rolls around in dirt is generally not considered cute. There certainly is a double standard here about the decisions of what animals are okay to eat but this is human nature and these flaws is what makes us human. We are not robots, so emotions play a large role in what is considered right or wrong. Deal with it.
I would bet money that Joe is a Christian....This is the Christian mentality.
"Dogs are sentient. Cows aren't. I'm sure you won't understand this, since you seem to be about as intelligent as a cow".
What stupid remark! ALL ANIMALS ARE SENTIENT! Pigs are more intelligent than most animals and look at the the way they are treated! If you don'y like what I said F<({ U!
Do you happen to mean female genital mutilation? I've not heard of forcibly sterilizing women in Africa. Female genital mutilation usually includes clitoridectomy and are more based in denying women sexual pleasure (which is also completely horrible). Complications from the "procedure" can include sterilization, but it's not the aim of the practice. Also... as far as "we don't brutally sterilize our women".. there was a point in history when.. yes in fact we did. Criminals, Native Americans, impoverished citizens, citizens of color and those deemed mentally incapable. There were many laws in various states pertaining to this, the first being Indiana in 1907. It's called Eugenics. In fact our eugenics programs were copied by Nazi Germany & included in the 1933 Nuremberg racial hygiene laws.. The Rockefeller Foundation funded some of the early eugenics programs in Germany. Why do I say this? It's morally wrong, YES. Nazi Germany.. we see where this can lead. Just because it's morally wrong doesn't mean that societal standards have caught up to that thinking. Does it seem backwards to us to eat a dog? Yes, but we're talking about a different culture here. I give props to the people in these countries fighting against the social norms to do what they consider the morally conscious thing.
I like your point in clarifying the excision practice and I'm in total agreement with you stance on that, but the analogy with dog eating still baffle me !!!
I couldn't eat a dog...cat...hamster..or any pet. But I've heard that killing a goat with a knife is the most terrible thing ever. The few people I've heard who did it or seen it done said they couldn't even eat the meat afterwards. The goat is tied up and then it knows you are gong to kill it and you can the goats eyes it knows that and is scared to death and crying.
Okay...not sure if everyone wanted read all that about goats.
all ya gotta do is look at the face of the dog in the picture. They are intellegent creatures and companiions to many. The service dogs who help disabled people, the guard dogs who would take a bullet for their owners, the companion dog that gives the elderly company, the pup who brightens a sick childs day at the hospital. I wish I could say we are beyond this barbaric practice but.... very sad
The temporal cure of Hypotension for people with average to greater IQ is reading comments on most posts and this one is no different.
Starting by Joe who compared eating dogs to sterilizing women in Africa. This analogy is not just completely irrelevant but also wrong. I think that by using the word sterilizing, he meant excision. (A practice in very few regions, but he generalized this to a whole continent), then I saw somebody who compared eating dogs to having slaves ???!!!
Examples like the one cited above are just meant for provocation instead of making an actual point. What is morally wrong for Humans does not necessarily translate to other animals, otherwise we all should become vegetarians.
So, is it wrong to eat dogs? my answer to that would be that it depends on the person and the value that the dog represents for them. If a dog is considered as a pet by a person or a given society, then it is wrong for that person or a society to eat dogs, but if the dog is considered as a farm animal in countries such as South Korea, then this is not wrong for them to eat dogs.
Otherwise we all would be vegetarians, as most animals mean different things for different people. As an example HIndus don't eat cows because they are a divine symbol. So is it wrong for us Americans to eat cows? Some people don't eat pigs because they are pets/forbidden by religion, is it wrong for the rest of humanity to consume bacon every now and then? So no matter how hard it might be for me to admit this, it is not wrong to eat dogs (whatever animal/ humans excluded) as long as you like eat.
Bon appetit my friends !!!
South Korea is part of the American democracy colony. There's not too much differences except for culture. Majority of people in Korea will consider dogs as pets and will love them as pets. Eating the dog delicacy in Korea is, as it says, a delicacy. It's not eaten much, majority of them don't eat it. Majority of them are like you and think it's kinda creepy eating something that you would love.
South Korea is not some third world country or anything. It's well established and half the technology you use is made there. iPhones/Apple products actually go through a huge manufacturing process through Samsung in Korea.
Finally...a voice of reason!
@Joe: actually, young people in America have been involuntarily sterilized, a practice that continued up until the early 1980's. The State of North Carolina recently issued an official apology for its 40-year long program of forced sterilizations that began after WWII. This also happened in Sweden and various other otherwise modern nations.
Joe, I agree. And I would go a step further. Raising any sentient beings for the sole purpose of killing them to eat their meat is disgusting. This extends not only to dogs but to cows, pigs, goats etc. I wonder how many people would still eat meat if they visited a slaughterhouse in person and actually saw the killing of their next meal. At least animals killed by hunters and fishermen enjoy free life before they die. Eating meat is unhealthy anyway, and we in the US have our hamburger habit to blame for the obesity epidemics that affects our country, with its associated risks for diabetes, hypertension and cancer. In a sort of poetic justice, the more meat we eat the more likely we are to shorten our own lives and die slowly of horrible diseases. So, no, we should not condemn just the cultures that eat dog meat. We should give up the farming of meat animals altogether. Do yourselves a favor, go vegetarian.
People don't form the same relationships with pigs, that they do with dogs. Nor have they since the domestication of animals, many years ago. But here's the thing. If the article writter thinks it's only people in the US who are bothered by the idea of eating dog, then allow her to try ordering dog in Taiwan. The answer to that one will come out hard and fast, where some who live in Taiwan have informed me it's illegal there. And in fact illegal in more areas of China, then where it is legal.
Besides, the protesters here, are not necessarily all American's calling them up there. It sounds more local....
I used to live in Taiwan. Dogs are eaten there. They ate 3 of my dogs. two were just fat puppies and they climbed over the wall when I lived on Red Brick road and took them. It was a pretty common practice. If you are a foreigner, sure you will be told there is no dog–but dogs as food can be found and is eaten. My Nanny, (we called her Ah Sue) found out what happened to my dogs. Some people within the market bragged about stealing the dogs from Americans and they took them and skinned them and roasted them. She told me that the death was probably quick and to keep the last dog tied up and in the house not in the outer buildings on the property. We did this. But one day, I came home from school and Friskie (the momma) was gone. We pretty much figure she got ate too.
A lot of people like dogs as pets some eat them–there are people who eat dogs in America too. You may not like to think so–but in a multicutural population, it is silly to think new immigrants check their culture at the border. They bring it with them, and they adapt–but some old cravings die hard.
When you go to Taiwan, if you want dog, you have to go with a native person from Taiwan-if you just go in and ask for dog–of course they will tell you it is illegal and they will not give you any. But it can be had–it is like really graphic porn or any other contraband–it is there and thriving but only available if you have the right ticket in.
Lame. As if eating dog is "morally wrong". I've got news for you. Just because something isn't the norm for your culture doesn't make it morally wrong. Spend your time advocating more important things, please.
Contrary to popular belief, only a small percentage of koreans eat dog, mostly older men. When Korea was a poor country, eating dog was not a choice but a necessity. As Korea has gotten richer, ppl now own dogs as pets and the idea of eating a dog is similar to the US. Most Koreans think of eating a dog the same way as Americans, we imagine cooking up Fido (the family pet) and we cringe. It's only a matter of time before the practice of eating dogs fades into the past...as the last of the dog eaters will eventually die. Most countries with a history of over 250 years have a "used to eat but not anymore" story. Korea isn't the only country to have eaten dog. As a matter of fact, most of the dogs eaten in Korea comes from China.
WOW, Seriously? Are up really trying to make a positive argument for eating dog meat? Is a real article? is this the trash that is passed off today as news commentary? No excuse for this trash. FIRE YOURSELF.
logic and spiritual divinity are not related. Moral disconnect and too stupid to even know it.
Morality and scruples are for the well-fed. It is a fact that pets disappear in times of war and famine. Gee, what could have happened to them?
I am not specifically replying to "Joe" but to the whole idea of eating dog meat. I will never visit a country that eats dog meat. Period. Or that eats endangered species or that raises beautiful animals for their bile or for their body parts. Somewhere people have to draw a line where their sense of entitlement ends and their humainty begins. We don't get to have everything. You can't look at a dog or cat which we have domesticated for centuries and think they are for eating and have any humantiy left. . Cows, pigs, goats, are raised as meat, they don't really bond to humans except to receive food, they only exist to be raised as food. They should be treated with all the kindness we can before their are humanely killed. That is why they have lived with humans for centuries. But companion animals are totally different. We raised them to trust us. How can we then kill them for meat that we don't really need. If you think it is okay, you are already lost.
Over 85% of all Americans will NEVER step foot outside the continental US. Over 30% will NEVER leave their own state in their lifetimes. NONE of you will be missed. Ignorance means not knowing–and nothing contributes more to ignorance than insularity–but...have at it–in America, though ignorance is not bliss–sadly it seems to be the way of life for many.
What a bunch of nut cases. You are just as wrong as militant vegans. If it is ok to eat animals it is ok to eat dogs. Get over yourselves.
Few things. Chinese like to pose as Americans to skew public sentiment. So not every Tom, Henry, and Sue on here are actually who they appear to be.
And LOL at the article author, no, sorry we don't need to rely on the argument that "we don't do it in America." Bwahahaha.. You wish. The reality is, dogs evolved with humans. They are true companion animals. They are not wolves, though they used to be, like we used to be apes. SO the point is, the dogs are part of our evolution. They are the only animals that can recognize human facial expressions, and know what a pointed finger means. Not even Chimps can do this. They are genetically wired to be companions. While they are not humans, they fulfill that role. Whether we acknowledge it or not.
As for pigs, intelligence is not the same thing as the ability to interact with humans. All these counter arguments are a joke. But it doesn't matter. We don't have to worry too much. Even in Korea and China the dog lovers are taking over.
So yeah save us the livestock arguments, they don't work at all. No worries, you don't have us stumped. Lol!
If it is morally wrong to eat dog meat, then it is morally wrong to eat pork, beef, and chicken. Not saying I would ever eat dog, but passing moral judgment on those who do is the definition of hypocrisy.
Where exactly in Africa is that done and why on earth do you feel it's so cool to say 'Africa' like it's some street in New York, why not say Solar System? Do you have the faintest idea how huge and culturally diverse 'Africa' is? I have never heared of any such practices and I live in a couitry of over 170m with over 200 ethnic groups, each with it's own culture. Do you know Africa is almost as big as North and South America put together. Imagine someone saying North and South Americans are gays. And you know what we think of your gay culture? We think it's a piggish disgusting culture (no offense intended), so when next you think of doing a Sarah Palin ... well, think again.
If you re talking about the excision of the clitoris, it is done in Sierra Leone, Liberia and any where factions of the Mende tribes or those who are in the Sande society exists. Sande is a very rigid cultural code that defines and dictates rites of passage into womanhood and includes months long initiation. Females who refuse the ceremony are not considered women, no matter how old they are and are largely ridiculed and ignored–in short, they are ostracized. The male equivalent of Sowei or the Sande is Poro but it does not involve sexual mutilation.
the mutiliation is done (so they say) to keep down promiscuity in women. THAT is actually a more recent explanation due to having discovered the main source of female sexual pleasure is in the clitoris. The original reason was to take away perceived aggression or boldness believed to be caused by the miniature penis or clitoris. The idea was by removing that item, women became more sedate, and docile and subservient.
you would be surprised to learn the chief enforcers of the sande are other women. It is a sisterhood and all women in the tribe want to go through this. The only ones who do not are those whose families have had large exposure to western culture–they usually leave before their daughter comes of age (it is done between 11 and when the girl goes into puberty)
Yes it is done and is still done and is a very interesting ritual. The net result is at the end, woman can be promised to certain men who pay her family –she will have her face covered with white chalk and wear white on the last day–her hands and soles of her feet will be painted and her face and upper torso decorated, she will sit demurely, with eyes downcast and lips pursed, trying for all her might to look like the Sowei masks that define Mende beauty–she will tie strings around her neck if she is not thick enough to have neck folds and in her hand she will hold a mirror. She will not run, scream or act rude in any way, she will not laugh loud or shout if her training has been correct–the goal is to become docile and she will emulate that or try to. There are deaths every year from having the clitoris removed but the thing is–like any hazing from any sorority–it binds the females together–those who have come before would have no respect for those who did not undergo what they also went through and those who come after would feel cheated if not allowed to experience the seclusion of the initiation. (they are taken out in the jungle to a secret camp and their internment is about 8 weeks long but can be longer)
All the ceremonies and activities are monitored and strictly adhered to–including the sayings and teachings shared during that time–it is highly ritualized. So now you know which parts of Africa and you even know some of what goes on. If you want to know more–google Sande society, or Mende–perhaps even Sierra Leone. There are chapters of Sande over many parts of Africa–surprisingly, despite western opinion–many more are being created as women want a sense of order, community and solidarity across the continent.
Something Westerners especially white Americans should consider–no race wants to be your or be like you–they just want to have some of the things (many of the things) you have. This means they love and embrace and want to keep their culture and ways–and they do this no matter how you or your countries feel about them–this is why blacks in America have not yet assimilated even though they have been here (many ) longer than many whites (dating back to the 1500s) They don't speak their own tribal dialects but they have bastardized the English and routinely update it to have their own language–they have their own dances, culture, music, way of dressing and acting and no matter how many commercials or marketing–many will always cling to what sets them apart–Only integration stops each generation from being totally separate, but the black "community" tries to enforce a certain mindset–in order to control and keep the black identity separate-even if it costs jobs, lives and education to their own people. They do it, because though they love America and are Americans–they have NO DESIRE to be white or be like whites.
The point is–when you scream about dogs–you are speaking from a white European point of view. THAT may not be the world view. Westerners like to think they can dictate what the world does, or how it thinks –but really the only hold they have is in what the world wants–but people do not displace what they have or who they are as they pursue what they want–they want to be who they are –but also want the new stuff. That's all.
Good point! We (in the USA) tend to do this regarding Europe also – "Europe does this or that".
Thanks Queenbee. You are apparently well read and you know the stuffs you're talking about, but labelling a people based on the cultural practice of a few is just unacceptable. And she calls in 'sterilization' or what did she use again? I have heard about female circumcision and I know it has been stopped in most parts of my country. Why didn't she mention the medical practises of Europe and America when psychiatric patients were lobotomized in the 60s. Was it not out of ignorance as well?
WELL, YOU ALL ARE PROBABLY RIGHT, BUT REMEMBER, DOGS EAT DOGS!
Yes "some things" are just "morally wrong"! Those would be the things I say are morally wrong. Those things you say are morally wrong don't count! Enough said!
morally wrong? Are you kidding? There is no difference between a dog, horse, pig, bird. Animals are animals. Culturally in many places we have placed an importance on different species. It just so happens that we value the characteristics of a dog more than a pig.
if you were all alone in the woods with a hungry dog, he wouldn't be to worried about it being morally wrong to eat a you now would he? people need to stop whining about other peoples eating habits, i like ketchup on my turkey sandwich, get over it!!!
Yes we did! this is from North Carolina this was on the front page of Fox and RT.
"Nearly 35 years after ending the country’s most active post-war sterilization program, North Carolina is the only state trying to make amends to thousands of people who cannot have children because of eugenics-inspired theories about social improvement."
I would never eat an adult human, but fried baby is just delicious.
its all cultural. I love dogs. Have 2. Part fo the family. But, in Asia, i ate both dog and cat. i also eat hamburgers, which come from a cow. We as americans love dogs but have no problem eating cows. How about asking India what they think of that, and what would we do if India asked America to stop eating cows because they are Holy.
Again, its all cultural. Leave other nations diet habits alone. That said, Americans do eat way to much meat.
The great arctic explorers planed their expeditions in great detail, how much weight their dogs could pull, how long those supplies would last, and when they would run out of dogs, since they would be eaten or feed to the other dogs as they were no longer needed to pull the sleigh as those supplies were used. We love our pets, but they are animals. Face it many animals that are kept as pets are also commonly used as food, goats, birds, snakes, fish, just to name a few. It is purely an emotional response to criticize someone else because they do not treat animals the way you do. Of course it is immoral to abuse or torture an animal, I'd be the first to step up in the animals defense, but to end an animal's life humanly for the purpose of consumption in not immoral.
I've eaten dog meat while in the Navy in Hong Kong. We weren't aware of what it was at the time. Couldn't really tell that it wasn't beef. I've also eaten monkey meat in the Philippines. That tasted pretty good barbecued on a stick. I don't know that I would eat them again. But, different strokes for different folks. As long as you don't eat your own kind, whatever.
One third of Puertorican women have been sterilized in a campaign that was born from racist eugenics (see the documentary, "La Operacion"). This was coercion by misleading statements about health, suberterfuge, and outright llies, in addition to physical force. Many Blacks and mentally challenged individulas thoughout the 20th century were also forcibly sterilized in the US so I´d be careful of saying it didn´t happen here.
i think people should website

imformation good
thank admin
i think the people that say that eating dogs is wrong r so stupid, i mean i love dogs and i will never eat one but no way am i ignorant enough to try and push my beliefs and traditions on other people on the other freaking side of the world. get a clue people, just because you love something doesnt mean others will too. it sucks having to deal with people like this. i delt with one today so i was doing a little research and came accross this. if you dont like it then dont do it, but no one has the right to tell others what they can and cant do. if its normal in other countries then that is there thing and just because u live in america and dont do it doesnt mean its not done. its a fact of life that people eat dogs so if it makes you that mad dont search about it, dont read about it, dont comment about it, and dont think about it.
Absolutely distinusting! We have to sensitise poachers, guzzlers und exploiters of endangered animals for medicinal use, that they should keep their hands off tigers, bears, dogs and lambs, rhinos etc, .
Dogs are endangered? But hey, you are most likely American, so of course the Koreans are entitled to your opinion.
i think you are so right, that was a good comment, i hate people thinking that theere oipinion is the most mportant and everyone should listen to them
Eating cows in India is taboo and heresy. Does that mean we shouldn't?
I love dogs, but in other parts of the world, a dog is just another animal.
Dogs are sentient. Cows aren't.
I'm sure you won't understand this, since you seem to be about as intelligent as a cow.
So just because it has feelings, you should give it special treatment huh? Let me remind you that's not how the world works. Find help for all the people suffering in the world. Then you can go on about this BS about how we NEED to liberate and save all these dogs... if they were in the USA, they'd be put to sleep. So what's MORE humane? Killing a dog for the sake of killing it, saying how it's a merciful thing to do? Or instead of killing dogs just to kill them, eat them. There IS overpopulation of dogs in the world. People overlook this fact.
You add dogs to the same list as Rhinos? Laughable.
dogs are not endangered, in fact they are over abundant, and sheep are food.
why did you say lambs?
what's the big deal about Koreans eating dogs.... i eat a "HOT DOG" every time i go to see the Dodgers.
Well I hope when you get old and disabled with blindness and or or need assistance you will call on a hot dog to help/ save you moron! Dogs are companion animals and deserve our respect. They do so much for us and we murder millions in the US alone in shelters let alone raise and torture them for FOOD? It's disgusting and has to stop in my opinion. Spay/neuter/adopt and save lives.
You have absolutely NO sense of humor. HE WAS JOKING! God, you're an idiot.
I'd like to see the consent forms filled out by the dogs/pets that get spayed/neutered. That seems to me like the torture that you abhor. Who are we to deny animals their natural right to be loving parents?^^ (^^ = sarcasm indicator for those that don't get sarcasm)
Well you just discovered a new "cash crop" at least now the shelters won't have to kill them for no reason. Just sell them to Koreans solve two issues and make a ton of money while your at it.
Good point Elle. Agree with Dave that instead of euthanizing in the shelter, sell to a dog farm for export to other countries that eat them or domestically to feed the homeless and those in need of food. It could possibly replace the need for food stamps and other gov programs funded with tax dollars.
What a waste! Killing all those dogs in shelters and wasting the good meat! If they are going to die anyway, shouldn't they be properly served?
Hi. I was eating my breakfast while going through the web news and I threw up!!!!! Our world is a mess. Just when you think that you have heard or seen the worst cases of everything some discusting nasty and 'i can't even come up with words to describe how disturbing I think this is! I have actually vomited twice now since reading this ff'n crap. I can't imagine my life without my dog and my cats. I have chronic health problems and they comfort me, love me, and they are always there for me. Most people, I have found don't want to be bothered by sick or the disabled. But no matter how bad I feel, or how much pain that I am in, my dog loves me no matter what. When I cry my dog 'joey'. Comforts me. And is always there for me without any judgement. I haven't seen anything this upsetting in a while but knowing our warped society I'm sure there will be another disturbing story, unfortunately it will probably be sooner rather later. Good luck to you and give your dog a treat from me
Let me quote you on your own comment Elle. "opinion."
It means it's subjective. And you've openly admitted into imposing your own ideals, beliefs, and feelings onto others trying to force them to conform to your ways.
Second; America is the only country where "opinions" matter... not that it really does.
Oh, you are hilarious. You taking this on the road? What are your tour dates, DB?
This is the stupidest article I've read in a long time! Not only does Emily Lodish never even bother to do any research to answer her inane question but she thinks she can get by by publishing a shallow rebuttal to her own childish question. Heck, even Huffington Post's story on S.Korea trumped this poorly written commentary.
Ok Emily here's the cold hard facts you should of posted had you made any attempt to post a well, researched story.
Every year, two million South Korean dogs are electrocuted, strangled, or bludgeoned to death and are then skinned, chopped up, and boiled to be eaten. The cruelty and suffering endured by these dogs is unimaginable.
Where do the dogs come from?
Most are homeless dogs, captured by butchers and sold in open markets.
The country's Animal Protection Law, which was passed in 1991 considers dogs to be "domestic pets." However, authorities are giving the dog meat trade their silent blessing by turning a blind eye to this outrageous bloodbath throughout South Korea.
Let me assure you the eating of dog meat isn't based on any deeply rooted South Korean tradition. South Koreans have only eaten dogs when poverty has been widespread, as was the case during World War II. Even in those hard times, dogs were treated as companion animals.
Now, however - with the unspoken blessing of the government, greedy, unscrupulous dog traders in South Korea propagate the myth that canine meat increases male sexual prowess and general health. This illegal industry has organized itself well. It bribes government officials and police, hires thugs to intimidate animal welfare campaigners, and persuades newspapers to extol the "virtues" of dog meat.
Although the vast majority of South Koreans don't eat dog meat, official figures indicate there are at least 6,484 stores nationwide dealing in this horrific trade.
"I asked about the eating of dogs and was told over an over that it didn't happen anymore. You can imagine my shock and horror upon getting lost in one of the huge markets in downtown Taegu. I looked down and saw the head of a dog with its legs stuffed in its mouth. I saw limbs that were skinned. Everywhere I turned there were dogs in cages. The smell was overwhelming. That market, that sweltering hot August day, was what I envisioned hell to be like." –An American teacher in South Korea
And if you still think animal rights people are making a 'stink" about the abuse of other living beings then watch these videos, every last one of them. I dare you:
http://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=south+korean+dog%2C+cat+market&aq=f
That does sounds awful and I do think that the writer should have put this information into her article, you're right. However, the fact still remains that if the dogs are raised well in a sanitary environment and killed humanly then there is nothing wrong with eating them. I eat beef but I don't support factory farming and animal abuse. The premise, that eating dogs is ok, is valid given that the above conditions are met.
Eugene, you are dillusional by saying you eat beef but "don’t support abuse". Do you think those “humane” slaughterhouses give each animal comfortable surroundings, feed them healthy food and plenty of water, treat them with dignity and respect, and then when their time comes, carefully inject them with some kind of solution for a quick and painless death? I mean, how – and when – can unwanted death be humane?
Plus, saying “if the above conditions are met” – well, we all know that is so far from reality that it’s not even worth mentioning. That’s like saying “if a 3 legged clown dances hip-hop above the grand canyon and 4 people turn cartwheels on a truck tire and 8 world leaders kiss the pope’s butt on the 3rd Sunday of the summer if it’s not raining, I’ll give you a million dollars.” Aint gonna happen.
All of my consumable meats are koshered.
@Eugene please do more research. When you buy meat you're supporting animal abuse. Its a rationalization by saying you don't. Please watch the move "Meet your Meat" . You will realize exactly what kind of junk they put in in meat, all the toxins and hormones and animal parts plus how much the animals suffer so you can have that barbecue.
Good job John649, this Emily woman is clueless and I imagine heartless and lacking of all empathy.
The writer is an idiot and why is promoting this? Most Asians are repulsed about this and have dogs as pets.
Where is the outrage at people who boil live lobsters?
It turns out that Lobsters aren't companion animals. They just don't have the same meaning in society as a dog. As much as you try to trivialize it, dogs and cats are a step above all other animals because of their roles as companion. It is not unreasonable for people to be outraged when they see stories like this.
Yups!
you should keep reading...until the end. This "article" was just an intro a a series on the subject... a teaser if you will.
Who cares. Don't you have something better to do? Eating dogs has been a cultural practice in the far east since the ancient times. In China, Vietnam, S. Korea, and elsewhere, men like to eat dog meat when drinking. How would you like it if people protest against you infidels eating either beef or pork. Just because you don't eat it doesn't others should not. Are you perhaps a vegetarian?
Well, in terms of cruelty to animals, the way people butcher cows, goats, chickens, ect, are not any more humane, but we don't object to that, because it's part of food culture. I'm going to get in to the defense of the meat industry, because it takes a long time, and very often, is indeed hard to defend, but I'm going to make the point that if a country wants to eat dogs, they should be allowed to. Just as Hinduism holds cows as sacred, we have this sense that dogs are 'sacred' in their own way to us, as loyal companions, rather than dinner. Because a lot of people believe it's disgusting to kill cows, should we stop? No. I love dogs, and would never eat a dog, but that's my personal choice, and I respect other peoples rights to eat what ever they want.
you didn't even comprehend the commet did you? This is ANIMAL ABUSE!!!! You say you love dogs then go on to defend the torture of them?? what a hypocrite!
Excellent post, john649. I imagine that Emily was trying to be provocative. Unfortunately, her piece came across as sloppy and irresponsible.
Excellent post. It amazes me how insensitive people truly are about such issues. Thanks for setting things straight. I doubt many people will stomach the videos though. It's the same thing in our food supply, people want to pretend poor practices don't exist. Imagine having to face the idea that as an individual you were raised to partake in something that you know is horribly wrong but everyone else is doing it and changing takes effort. The same dumb retorts and excuses will follow, humans are superior, etc Humanity hasn't evolved and here is the proof.
Thank you for posting this. I am so disturbed by this story I can hardly stand it. One has only to look at the photo with this story to see that these dogs are NOT some wild, feral version of our pets. They are the same domesticated animals. How do we call ourselves 'human' when we stand idly by to cruelty?
Finally! an intelligent and well researched comment.
John...every year millions of cattle and other animals are shocked, bludgeoned, and have their throats slit or heads chopped off. They then are skinned and boiled, grilled, sauteed, and fried so that you can buy the results at the restaurant or grocery store.
The act of converting any living item whether it be plant life or animals to be used for food requires, in most cases, that the item be "killed." And i am not sure if you know this but its can of hard to kill something and be humane. The process of killing anything is somewhat violent.
Have you tried it? Just sayin?
I find it very interesting that there are millions of people suffering each and every day in corners of the globe, and yet there are some who seem to care more about animals than people. When no human is hungry, abused, or neglected, then we should worry about other species.
Awesome John649- thank you for taking the time to write this. I am abhorred at the cruel treatment of all animals that are slaughtered which is why I don't eat them. I dated an American-Korean and while he didn't buy into the hype of foods doing this and that, his traditional mother did. She eats "stem cells" paying hundreds per bottle- I have no clue what she is really eating but Koreans are very into eating foods that "helps" them in some way. My ex hates that about his country saying how gullible the people there are.
Authorities in South Korea are not like the police in America. They generally leave people alone and don't really consider "domestic disturbance" a need to report to the location. They are just there in case shit goes down. For the most part, South Korea is not a police state like America. It's not their real job to look for people buying dogs. And even though dogs were adopted as domestic pets officially, it still does not mean you cannot eat them in that country. It's not illegal. It's a legitimate business of dog meat industry that you require a permit for.
What you think EVERY place has to be like America for it to be a good and non-barbaric country? Grow up.
and if your still wondering whats wrong with eating puppies after all those videos perhaps this might help:
Puppy Roasted Alive Over Open Fire By Chinese Women
This woman maimed this baby puppy first by using the heels of her shoes and then burnt off the fur while it was still alive. Children in a school nearby could hear its piercing screams as it was tortured.
http://www.chinasmack.com/2011/pictures/puppy-roasted-alive-over-open-fire-by-chinese-women.html
Is this what you're protecting when you think people are making a 'stink' over animal abuse?
It is the cruelty that is my issue.
When I was in South Korea, I personally observed a korean burning off the fur of a live dog. The screams still haunt me. I emotionally questioned why I was there protecting people like this.
If someone wants to raise an animal for food, at least do it humanely as possible and try, to the best ability, to limit the suffering.
The deliberate torture of animals for food is what offends me.
There are a lot of food in the world I choose not to eat. Dog being one of them. But does that give me the right to expect other people to change just so that they act in accordance to MY opinion? I don't think so.
@Thomas: Your is the best reply of the day.
@Thomas Since you are against animal cruelty, please check out the movie 'Food Inc', and google "animal cruelty in slaughterhouses' to find out how we in US make food out of cows, pigs and chicken.
I can't watch that video for my own sanity but if you [john649] happen to respond- are you in any sort of animal rights group/ organization? I am trying to get involved with an animal rights group and make it my career instead of just volunteering.
Bravo for you! You should attend the Animal Rights Conference in LA this year. From there you can figure which avenue is best for you. Lots of law schools are now teaching Animal Rights programs. This si the newest and best addition to this movement yet. Lawyers who do nothing but fight for the rights of animals.

Everything about eating a dog is wrong.
Why not play frisbee with the dog instead? Or let it lick your face when you are sad? Or hike a mountain trail with you? Or teach it tricks and have fun? Why not let your dog be your friend?
What a waste of friendship, compassion and love in a world that needs more of it.
If you want a true friend, get a dog. If you want to be a monster, eat the dog.
It is tough to play Frisbee when you or your children are hungry.
Why don't you pet a cow. Cows like to be scratched behind the years. Pigs are also friendly and very intelligent. Why don't you play with pigs?
Because culturally you have been brought up that it is ok to slaughter cows and pigs but not to slaughter dogs. If your culture was different, you may have been brought up to believe that cows are sacred and not to be slaughtered.... or that all animals are sacred and should not be slaughtered for food.
Different cultures are different, not better nor worse.
I agree cultures are just different, not worse. The concern is the complete lack of animal welfare. This is what separates us.
A pig will do the same, have you adopted the pig? or are you still munching away on your tasty bacon every morning, as a true American does?
A pig WILL do the same, and that's why I don't eat them either. Haven't since I was a kid, and came to a realization that I am human, and have the capacity to make choices in what I inflict on others. ('Others' being, I suppose, sentient beings.) Today, I'm sending a donation to an animal protection agency, in the name of the dogs of Asia. It's all I can think of to do.
Because licking your face is as unsanitary as it gets, I have to lovable dogs but I also see what they had eaten or licked just minutes ago, no way they get into my face. As much as I love my dogs, we run together and yes they are great companions, they are also so must discussing animals to have as a pet.
Right. Because human companionship is not worth anything.
Did you know that many dog owners, cat owners too, do not neuter or spay their pets and thus allow their pets to produce a large number of unwanted offspring? Would these pet owners feel the same if it was their own children produce large numbers of unwanted offspring that then had to go live on the street? Nature was meant to be a balance. And if left to its own devices it would be. Humans disrupt that by taking food as pets and then allowing those animals to breed without any control. There are millions of unwanted pets and dogs. why not introduce some population control in the form of using them for food? Its how we control population several other species.
you gotta be kidding me! That dog in that picture is so obviously in such utter pain and suffering I can't even believe this article is questioning this! Those poor dogs and cats are treated like rats. They boil them alive because they're too lazy to treat them humanely. I agree -what a stupid article.
Are you a dog psychic? If we have a rule about eating animals it should be to not eat ANY of them. Fat Americans subsist on factory meat that has a serious impact on the environment and on public health. If we're telling anybody else what to eat it's from within our giant glass house.
I encourage you to visit a slaughterhouse. I can assure you its no 5 star hotel where the animals are pampered until they freely decide to give up their lives for the greater good and take a pill to and calmly fall asleep.
In & of itself I suppose eating dog isn't wrong, it does have alot to do with how an animal is percieved. To us dogs are pets. We eat cows here, but in India they would starve before doing so. We don't eat horse, but they still do in parts of Europe. I've had it as sandwich meat. It tastes like pastrami, very delicious. there are meats I would not eat, unless we were in a severe famine, critter such as: racoon, squirrel, cat, rat, snake(tasted & didn't like), alligator/crocodile(same as snake), groundhog, mole, grub worms or any type of insect. I don't like froglegs, but love escargot,which sounds tasty, but snail doesn't. Alligator gar, the bottomfeeding fish, is mostly junk except for a really tender portion. I don't know if the gender or age of the fish plays a role,but that filet is the most delicious fish I've ever tasted. It was light & flakey like fish, but sweet like crustacean. I think I've illustrated it's about familiarity, willingness to try new things & tradition. And what turns our stomachs!!
Fernace's response and statement is the most sound out of all I've read here.
We BRED them as companion animals. There is unfair advantage to kill them. Most of the animals you have listed are prey animals or wild.
Unfair advantage? WTF are you talking about. You don't even catch your own food. It is raised in small cages, killed for you, and sold to you in a neat little package. If anything, a dog has a MUCH higher ability to self-preserve than cows, which have been bread specifically to stand around and eat. They wouldn't last long at all in the wild. Their real ancestors that were fit to survive were wiped off the face of N. America a couple hundred years ago.
They are companion to you but they are our dinners. Don't you American have things like creational hunting ? you slaughter animals for fun and we slaughter them for food. Who's more barbaric ? It's a cultural thing.. yours ain't better than anyone's
You need this to be explained to you? All animals have a natural fear of being someone's dinner, not dogs with humans. They were bred to trust and rely on humans not fear us as a predator. That is the unfair advantage. Exploiting that relationship is disgusting. Dogs are the only animals who will directly look us in the eyes, that's how trusting they are of the relationship.
Is eating an ALOT ok?
The author used the term "delicacy" wrong. Also, Americans are notorious for eating cow, a SACRED animal to the Hindus. I don't know... just some food for thought.
Exactly.
Cows are GODS in places like India, but American slaughter cows by the millions every year, and serve them up for every meal. Not to mention Chickens, Pigs, Lambs, etc.
People in America seem to think that DOGS are PEOPLE.
I can assure you, DOGS are ANIMALS. And if those ANIMALS get hungry enough, they will eat YOUR ASS TOO!
Good God, Hindus are vegetarians.
I know many Hindus that each chicken..
Btw, I don't think I adequately stated that pets are not for eating. I'd never eat dog or cat, or even horse again. These days I'm strictly a fish or chicken person, & escargot now & again.
did it ever occur to you folks that a billion indians consider cows sacred? so for us to eat big bloody cheeseburgers is just as abhorrent to them. shall we ban burgers because cows have rods punture their skulls, feel fear at slaughterhouses and are hung upside down by a hoof before having their throats slit? learn where food comes from and stop being cultural hypocrites.
Yes. We should ban burgers – and all beef for that matter. Eliminating cows as food would ultimately prevent the planet from it’s inevitable destruction. Do a little research if you don’t know what I mean.
Well I for one dont know what you mean-If dogs are dear to you, cows are dear to another nation. So why this discrimation- why one animal is OKAY to be slaughtered and eaten and the other deserves compassion and love??? Meat is bad no matter whose you are eating- every animal feels the same amount of pain/torture before getting killed. The milk that you and your kids drink, comes from cows – is that no ground for showing some respect to the animal? Anyways I am talking to hypocrites- besides dictating what you can eat in your nation, you also want to control what other countries are eating/doing – typical Americans!!!!
If tomorrow you start eating human flesh – I wont be surprised. I also know some people will now start commenting on my nationality and stuff – but thats besides the point. Think logically- meat is meat no matter what animal- if you are saying its barbaric to kill one animal but not the other- you need to do some serious thinking and some RESEARCH. And if you mean cows will graze all the grass- well, I am sure you realize that cows are bred in large numbers only for the meat- and you should look at the videos available everywhere on internet about young calves getting killed for "veal" Disgusting!!!
So lets stop eating all animals. Stop breeding them, let the population of them decrease and the methane that cows produce decrease. Let the fields that they walk around in grow back up. Decrease traffic and gas fumes from trucks not delivering meat and animals etc... That would be my Utopia- people would also get along and give a d*mn about the world we live on. Treating everyone, animals too, with kindness and respect.
Companies do give out samples. They are looking to put their products in potential consumers' hands. They wouldn't do it if it didn't work one of the place that always worked is "123 Samples" search online
Emily Lodish are you just an ignorant or just plain stupid??!!!!!!!! i dont have to give you the facts since john649 said it all. This is the stupidest article I've read in a long time!!!
Dogs are companion animals period. They deserve our respect! Who are our eyes when we go blind? dogs! Who protects and searches for our missing? Dogs! It is a disgrace to even consider abusing let alone raising these wonderful companions for food. We torture enough animals for that already!!!
Nooooo...dogs are wild animals. Go to the plains of Africa, and you're not gonna see packs of Lassie's and Scooby Doo's having Tea Parties with each other.
You're gonna see packs of wild beasts (DOGS) that meticulously hunt other animals, and have every bit of the pack mentality as every other predator.
No, dogs are domesticated animals. The difference between a domesticated dog and a wild animal (say, a wolf, from which they are descended) is astronomical. Dogs have been bred for centuries for companionship, loyalty, and protection. They are pets.
It is not ok to eat dogs under any circumstance...regardless of whether it is done in the US or not.Emily Lodish writes a very uneducated article...not only in her obvious lack of knowledge about the dog meat industry but also in the sense that she does not realise that she actually positions her writing against her own argument on several occasions! The quote from William Saletan is actually AGAINST the meat industry!! Incidentally not all dogs used for meat are bred on farms (not that this matters to 'real' humans)...many of them are peoples companions rounded up from straying on the streets.Unfortunately many of them are cooked and skinned alive not because the preparers are too lazy to kill them first but because they actually believe that the more trauma that the animal experiences before death, the tastier and more nutitious the meat will be.In regards to culturalism...dogs are not part of a culture neither are cows or pigs or horses or chickens or .......they are part of the amazing fabric of life which makes up our planet...they are not ours to use or abuse in ANY way....don't ask whether we should eat dogs...ask why we don't eat humans.....the answers are the same..
AGREED!
Emily Lodish, EVERYTHING is wrong about eating dogs!! We are in 2011, where the hell did you leave your brain?? Why in the world would you wanna act like a barbarian and eat something that wags it's tail till they very end?? Animals are our friends, not food!! It is time to evolve, Emily!!
Put YOURSELF in their shoes, how would you like it?! This is certainly one of the stupidest article i have ever read. You certainly are not fit to write an article like this till you put passion in compassion!!
It is clearly an article meant to make you think. She is clearly playing Devil's Advocate a bit. Also, I could arguably replace every word "dog" in your post with "cow" and it would be just as valid.
OMG...A dog will give it's life for it's master...SAVAGES, only SAVAGES would do this..Dogs are your friends
What a stupid article defending animal cruelty. The dogs are tortured to death to make the meat more delicate.
Emily Lodish you are a totally ignorant person . How can a civilized person defend such cruelty? You are stuck in the medien ages ! We live in the 21 century, wake up !
As long as it's okay to eat pigs, cows, chickens (which it is not) I think it's okay to eat dogs as well. It's both morally condemnable, no need to be a hypocrite
pigs cows & chickens do NOT save countless children & adults,it doesn't take a genius to figure that.over 5 million South Korean dogs are electrocuted, strangled, or bludgeoned to death & are then skinned, chopped up, and boiled to be eaten. we are talking about man's best friend hello!!!!!! pathetic bloody superstition that the more animals suffer the better the meat becomes, vegan here.u?
hey stupid, pigs do save countless lives.....much more than dogs ever will. It is called medical research, look it up. Do you know how many people are dependant on pig hormones to have normal lives?
Pigs-pancreas used to treat diabetes (pig insulin is used)–millions alive due to it. ( type I diabetics used to die within 1 -2 years of diagnosis)
chickens–flu vaccines as well as many others depends on growing the virus to make the vaccines in chicken eggs (food source)–BILLIONS each year get flu shots and your DOG"S and CAT's vaccines are also made using chicken eggs and fetal calf serum
fetal calf serum or bovine serum–used as a food substrate to grow viruses out-BILLIONS owe their lives to cows
cow, Chicken and pork, and lamb byproducts (as well as horse) are used to make the dog food that your loving pets eat. )read that bag of Science diet, Eukanuba, or Iams and learn stuff.
Ignorance is a terrible thing–educate yourself before you spout off–of all these animals the ones who help humans live the LEAST are dogs and cats Though they do give you something to do with your hands, your time and your emotions when you are bored, emotional or needy.
Just leave the meat off your plate ffs. I truly cannot understand how is it possible for one to drool over tendons, veins and blood.
I'm not interested in the tendons, veins and blood. I just want the tasty meat! But why eat dog when pork and beef are available?
I agree.Pass me some more steamed paws would you.
yeah dog is a filthy animal, but a dog got personality, personality goes a long way. Like that Arnold on green archers....
I ain't eatin nothin that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces
Awesome. Now just tell me what's in the briefcase? Okay.
There is absolutely nothing wrong with eating dog meat or cat's for that matter. Pigs are kept as pets too and have been shown to be even smarter than dogs and far more than cats. People go hungry around the world and here in the US every day while tons of so call euthanized "pet meat" ends up rotted in landfills. Shame on you for putting animal meat over a child's right to food.
Shame!
What barbarians. What's wrong with eating dogs? I dunno...I guess the same question could be asked about eating human flesh (after they die). It is just barbaric and wrong, unless the nation is actually starving to death. Is Korea starving to death?
These Asians..they also keep bears in bile cages and shoot dogs in the street. They are a barbaric race, despite all the PC-crap about how "wise" and old their culture is. I only give a pass to the Japanese these days.
The Japanese get a free pass? Have you watched The Cove? http://72.21.214.36/title/tt1313104/
I wonder about Koreans and other Asian countries since it is a fact that they also bury animals alive when doing mass exterminations due to communicable diseases. They have recently buried thousands of pigs due to Hoof & Mouth disease. Local villagers said they heard the pigs crying under the ground until they finally died. I think this is BARBARIC. Why these animals are not killed first is a legitimate question. Is it cheapness???? Too many cruel acts against "food sources" occur in these countries. Believing that torturing dogs to get a hard-on and have sexual stamina is plain pathetic. Torturing and skinning dogs and cats alive to get a more tender meat... plain old ignorant and disgusting. Who can defend this???
I'm a meat eater but with the way the world treats animals already, from your backyard animal abuser to poaching animals facing extinction to overbreeding, this just goes to show if eating dog meat becomes acceptable, we're morally headed in the wrong direction.
I don't follow your logic. You sound like the barbaric killing of dogs for food would be the straw that pushes morally in the wrong direction.
Eatings dogs is wrong because dogs have been breed for generaitons to be COMPANION animals. I see nothing wrong with eating a wild dingo or coyote but a dog is not a wild animal. Most dogs have a need for human companionship and love, traits we have breed into them.
Dogs as "Companion" animals is a relatively recent phenomena. For most of recorded history, and what can be gleaned from paleoarcheology covering something like 40000 years, dogs have been working animals. They filled a different functional role than, say, horses, sheep, goats, or other domesticated animals, but they had to pull their weight. Literally, in some cases. There's a reason the AKC registry has headings of "Working", "Herding", "Sproting", and "Terrier". All of those are "working" breeds. They may be lap dogs in some cases now, but they were bred to work.
It is no accident that Chow is both a word for food and a breed of dog.
The US has this fixation on their dogs. We treat them like children, and get bent out of shape when other cultures don't treat them the way we do. Animal cruelty is animal cruelty, whether it's domestic food animals raised in poor conditions or puppies raised in mills. The "cruelty" part is what's morally and ethically wrong. But having a moral objection to eating a particular species just because we think it's cute or our culture uses them as a child substitute? Sorry. That's culturally biased and illogical.
And lest you think I'm some dog hating cur because I don't have an inherent moral objection to eating dogs as food (whether I would personally or not is a different question) – I'll point to the two shelter rescued, and one stray rescue, who share my home. And no. I wouldn't consider eating any of them, even when the old Border Collie wake me up at 4.
Thank you, Mike, for the only reasonable post I've read here. Most people here are unable to engage in a little bit of self-analysis.
Seems like most people are more intent on villifying dog meat eaters than admitting their own moral bias, which isn't a bad thing anyway. The important thing is to recognize where your moral lines are drawn and acknowledge how others' may be different, but not inherently better or worse. As you rightly say, we can all agree that animal cruelty of all forms is heinous, but that is completely distinct from the appropriateness of eating a certain type of meat. Apparently our country has a lot of growing up to do, intellectually speaking.
Because it's monstrous - it would be like eating my child. No way do you eat dogs, cats, or other animals that are pets.
I ate a Guiney Pig in South America. I had several as pets when I was a kid. I also ate a rat in Asia, but I never had one as a pet, so that one should be okay by your standard.
Sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I wouldn't know because I wouldn't eat the filthy thing.
Not all species of animal are the same. Some have such small neurological system as to lack an ability to place suffering or life and death into context. You need to examine their brains to be certain. But I agree that overall the decision of what animals to eat (or not) is largely a combination of sentimentality and cultural norms. I think cats and dogs for example should never be food, though if a person is starving and a serving of some companion animal is the distinction between life and death for them, then I would not blame that person if they ate that animal. But if you have a choice, the most self-aware of animals should, if one is a carnivore, not be utilized for food. If one can and wants to go veg, then probably even better, for a lot of reasons. Dogs have too much self-awareness and capacity to suffer for them to be used as food. Clams and oysters? Not much going on there. Dogs and cats? Too much going on there.
I like how you throw out the idea that intelligence is based on the size of the brain. I surmise we as humans do not know as much as we think we do about the intelligence of animals because for one we simply do not speak the same language as other animals. That would be like saying that you are smarter than a Chinese man because you can't tell what he is saying.
There are animals that have bigger brains than humans. Blue whales come to mind. Maybe we should ask them their opinion of eating other animals. If you want to consider the size of the brain to body mass, there are animals that beat us in that area. Hummingbirds for one.
The truth is we believe these animals have no understanding of pain and context as you suggest based on our misunderstanding of our brain. But I have found that is not a good comparison. Our brain has evolved differently that other animals. There is simply no true way to know what they are thinking unless we were able to decipher their communication. My personal guess we would be extremely surprised at what we found if we could communicate with other species.
Hippies will always be hippies... End of story.
Go play in traffic.
Cons will always be heartless cowards. End of story.
Absolutely barbaric!!!! Eating meat in the first place demonstrates a very degenerate way of life. We teach our children that violence doesn't solve anything, that violence is reprehensible yet the majority of our diets consist of dead bodies that are mutilated and burnt. Human beings have a very selective moral compass. Yet if you are truly proud to eat meat than take your child to a slaughter house and let them hear the screams and suffering of animals. Let's see how truly superior the human race really is....Disgusting! Absolutely disgusting! Eating dog is just as disgusting as any other creature. You say you are evolved? That you have the capacity to empathize with the suffering of others, then stop eating meat!!!!!
You think plants don't suffer when you eat them Justin? I think you should just starve yourself and make the world a better place.
Someone needs a basic course in biology because last I heard plants don't have a central nervous system.
There have been many studies demonstrating that dogs are so attuned to the humans around them that they can read our micro-expressions before we can see it in each other and actually predict our behavior. They are a mirror to ourselves.
Any culture that would so callously and heartlessly destroy life without a higher understanding of its relationship to us is barbaric. We can say the same of factory farming here in the States but let's not pretend that dogs don't represent a much closer bond and relationship to our species than any other on this planet. In this regard we DO have the moral high ground compared to other cultures who seem to see everything as food.
A couple million years of evolution made us omnivores, not herbivores. While ecologically it takes fewer resources to generate a given number of calories from plants than from animals, it doesn't change the fact that the human body evolved for a range of food sources. Meat being one of the major ones.
Abusive treatment is a bad thing in any context. But a blanket rejection of meat as food on "moral" grounds is, essentially, denying what Humans are: Omnivores that eat whatever we can get our hands on.
To each his own.....................meat
Given that thousands of dogs are euthanized every day because we have no place to house them/take care of them, I don’t see why their meat can't be sold to McDonalds or Chinese food restaurants.
The first sensible comment I've seen on here. Who knows how much healthy meat is thrown out every day.
Remember, cat meat causes cancer!
Please pray for the souls of the dogs who are to die. Pray that humanity emerges in the hearts of all.
-Amrit
I'm not even convinced that humans have souls and you are trying to tell me that dogs do? Hey, i'm an animal lover, but I knew that All Dogs Go To Heaven was BS when I was 7!
You bite your tongue! That movie is true and has been accepted as cannon by the church.
If the Pope declaired that dogs have souls, would God have to give them souls?
Whatever the pope says God has to do. It's in his contract.
I am more likely to believe dogs have souls than humans.
I've heard that Jesus would eat dog, at least when he was hungry enough.
Jack, they let dogs in but not people.
I'm fine with that actually. Humans tend to suck.
Humans are the only animals that have souls retard!
Yes, that indefinable, non-corporeal, characteristic free accoutrement that cannot be proven to exist which humans concern themselves with all their lives so that it can go to an indefinable, non-corporeal, characteristic free place that cannot be proven to exist. Yes, humans are the only ones to have those.
Enjoy your dog meat.
All the tortured souls of the dogs and cats will be waiting for those tortured and kill the animals. We are all here on earth for a brief time. But hell in the afterlife can last an eternity. They will be waiting for them.
They our loving, loyal and the only friend that wont leave your side when you are feeling down. They think more of you then they would ever think of them selves. Dogs our not dumb. They our very sensitive creatures with feeling and emotions. Iv had A dog in my house hold ever since I got married and Iv come to see first hand how caring loving and wonderful they our.
that explains it last winter my dog ran away I was looking for him and I asked my neighbor, a real good friendly family from South Korea if they seen my dog they said no but their was something cooking in the kitchen that smelled good.... o' wait they invited me to dinner, did I eat........................ ???????????
So you think they may have wok'ed your dog?
What a stupid, insensitive article. People in other countries turn their head to marrying children, rape, sex slaves etc. That doesn't make it alright.
Cows are revered in India, but we love our burgers. I'm a dog lover but the writer has a point about different cultures, different tastes.
Oh for Pete's sake! The only thing worse than this inane article is is the comentary that follows. Why are you people trying to rationalize this subject? Sometimes the simple answer is the best one. Dogs are pets, not food. There, see how simple that was? No explanation needed. And it's not just a cultural thing either. This is a trait that is shared over all of humanity. So the next time this stupid question gets thrown out there by some hack journalist who is trying to justify her own job, just answer "Dogs are pets, not food."
Tasty pets.
Sometimes it must be really nice to be so simple-minded.
Except . . . not all cultures see dogs as pets.
Sorry, but again, a very US/Euro-centric view of the world. In fact, some cultures consider dogs "unclean". So, please, don't apply US cultural norms to the rest of the world. It's really counterproductive.
God just reading this article makes me hungry. That pup in the title picture just looks so tender.
But seriously, I am a little curious as to what it would taste like. So why you have a dog as a pet, you could have a chicken or pig as a pet too and have no problem killing them to throw on the grill. Why not a dog?
It's similar to people who say eating horse is inhumane. Tell me again why exactly other than "ooh but it's cute so we can't eat it". Why not?
Honestly, unless you are vegetarian, I think it’s hypocritical to object to eating dog meat. I think it’s disgusting and morally reprehensible, but, then, I’m vegan.
I guess all the jokes about what they are actually serving you at the buffet table in Chinese restaurants are not really jokes.....oh well, at least it tasted like chicken.
Go eat some twigs, nuts, and berries and shut up.
I guess you haven't savored fondue of freshly-born live mice.
The problem with eating dog is that humans have shaped the dog's evolution through selective breeding over the course of millenia to work alongside humans and to be our companions. These are not animals we have domesticated to be food animals, such as cows and pigs. Dogs exist as they currently do because *we* made them. We bred them to be our loyal friends and helpers. In turn, they trust us to care for them, because we have bred out their ability to fend for themselves in the wild. Eating them is a betrayal of that trust. Dogs are not "just another animal." The dog species has a special relationship to the human species unlike any other animal. We made them. We owe them better than this.
Best reply so far.
Our revulsion to eating dog meat is similar to the revulsion we feel over slaughtering dolphins and whales. Intelligent animals that have a special relationship with humans.
Now cats on the other hand... (just kidding)
This is a great idea! Dogs are tasty and nutritious.
Mmmm....poodle, the other white meat.
Cat meat gives you cancer.
eating "strange cat" will get you in trouble if your caught!!!!!!
didnt anyone tell you eating strange pu**y can lead to diseases?
I've often wondered if the way an animal (cow, pig, chicken, etc.) was killed affects the taste or nutrition of its meat later, but I'd always assumed that an animal killed humanely would yield better meat then one that was tortured or killed while terrified.
But when money is involved, people get desensitized to that aspect, and abuses and crimes happen. It's a shame, but it demonstrates that in the end, we humans have a much higher opinion of ourselves than we should.
And let's hear it for the lowly pig! As smart as dogs, but they're not as cute so we don't even think twice when we eat bacon, pork chops or ham.
You are right Don. What an animal eats and how it's treated and the state it was in before it died, does affect how the meat tastes.
What about doing your own slaughtering?
Oh yes.. Please, let's ban all meat for consumption... Let's let all those animals run free and just eat and breed and multiply all they want.. Let's compete with them for food because, how dare we eat them!
I'm more than okay with eating animals. However, I do draw the line at eating animals that are widely and popularly considered companions. Yes, some people have pet goats and cows.. Some people have pet chickens and pigs, but they're not widely considered compnaion animals the way horses cat and dogs are.
Yes the Indians believe cows to be sacred, but they they also don't keep them as pets. It's part of their religion not to eat a cow not because they find some emotional companionship with it. Muslims and Jews don't eat pigs but, again, that's for relgious reasons not because they find companionship in the animal.
I get that other cultures eat dogs and cats.. and I'll continue to be grossed out by it.. But I also won't march over there and make them think the way I do. If their own culture wants to change their mind and stop the practice of eating fido, then let them make that cultural shift internally. It's not the same as human cruelty. No matter what anyone says, animals and humans are not equals.
I always marvel when people say well, animals aren't humans–like some difference in intelligence or, maybe, the lack of an opposable thumb makes ANYTHING–any cruelty, any treatment, anything at all–ok. It IS the same as human cruelty, once you recognize that suffering is suffering. We debase ourselves as human beings when we blithely allow suffering in the name of our own pleasure. The grace of being human is to have consciousness about what we do, and its effect on others (human and otherwise), and choose humaneness. Simply deciding that, because it happens out of our sight, we are off the hook, isn't good enough. If you witnessed a person abusing a dog, I presume that you–as a decent person–would stop them; why is it different when the abuse is out of your sight? You are a decent person, so mustn't you act? Speak?
No. in India , cow is not just seen as a cattle, but it is seen more than a pet, just like another person in the home. You can see this in Indian villages still. Also since cows are raised in house backyards the added attachment, when the child is given milk taken from the cow. It is seen with a motherly attachment, because we drink its milk. I have my self seen cows showing back the love to humans just like dogs. In America peope cannot understand this,since I belive cows are in Ranches, and people dont have a personal attachment. In Indian villages each cow will have a name and when you call by name they respond. I am in America for job now and have also gone to Israel. In Israel farms , the just born calfs were separaed from mother cows, it is such an cruel act from my perspective. I have seen how much love the calf shows to its mother and vice versa, just like humans. But we don't advice others, it is your own belief and culture. Atleast let us not be cruel to fellow Humans , that is common in all culture. I love both America and Israel I hope I have not offended you.
Israel & India are good friends, we love you too
@Author, Because you contradicted yourself by using that photo. The civilian sting against the dog meat transport in china (featured at the top of the article) rescued hundreds of dogs.....many of whom still had collars on and were not of the "junk dog" breed. They were peoples pets, house dogs, family. Your not supporting some loser hipsteresque trend, your supporting an industry run by criminals, thieves and homewreckers. I'd love to knock some sense into you, but you'd probably run away like the obsessive counter-culturist you are.
is this a joke? what kind of idiot would ask if it is wrong to eat a dog?? Have you ever met a dog, Emily? They are completely unique in the animal world...they seek and thrive on human affection. They reflect the best in us. Loving, forgiving, funny, open, and willing to do anything for love from those they consider their family... Why not eat homeless people, or unwanted babies?? Why not punt bunnies. This is a fractured world filled with so many problems, can't we as a people agree that, at least, it's wrong to eat friggin dogs??
Megan did your ever got bitten by a dog. I think not, if it would have happened you would have known by now that they don't always " thrive on human affection"
This article is shit. The author a moron.
Just because some guys like to have dogs as companions dosen't mean the rest of the world should also feel so. In India they pray to cows, but in the most of the other parts people eat them. If eating dogs make koreans distinusting, then what about the people who eat cows or any other animal. Non-vegetarians have no right to comment on this topic. How are dogs different from other living things.
If it's my personal choice to eat humans, is that alright?
It could be my "culture", afterall.
Let them eat cats instead.
Yes, please. Eat 'em all up!
People have pot belly pigs for pets but don't hesitate to eat bacon or a hot dog at an all American BBQ! Look...animals are animals and people are people. Jesus sat and ate with others and lamb was an item frequently on the menu. The animals of the air and beasts of the land were given for us to eat if you've ever read the bible. Is Jesus a disgusting meat eater?!!! Please....Jesus is perfect. Why not respect what you eat. If you choose for it to be your friend, then so be it. If you choose for it to be your dinner, then so be it. That is life!!!
STOP THEM NOW! This is so wrong one does not know where to start. How many times dogs have saved human lives and so we turn around and eat them - no good deed goes unpunished? They are emotional, loving and loyal when given even half a chance. That is one heck of a lot more then can be said about a whole slew or people I know! What's next - abortions on our dinner table?
Someone should stop you now... from breathing!
Dogs were human's creation. We domesticated them thousands of years ago and made them our pets. You don't eat pets.
Dogs are trusting and obedient creatures, not meant for food. Asia has a horrible track record of animal cruetly and disregard for animal in general (eating whale/dolphin, endangered animal parts like tiger, gorilla parts....the ivory trade, etc). I am not surprised.
We domesticated cows, sheep, pigs, and cattle yet we eat those. People have the right to eat what they want (horses, cat, donkey, dogs). It is egotistical of you to judge people because they eat something you find lovable.
We don't eat dog because dogs make special connections with humans to the point that dogs are more than just 'dogs' to a lot of people. End of story. Eating a dog would be like eating a family member for me. And in that sense, I don't have any right to end the life of a family member for the purpose of a meal.
Next they'll be sayin' nobody can eat pussy. Boo Hoo.
If it were North Korea it would be more understandable. they are starved by their oppressors, and would likely eat the as,s end of a skunk. but you would think the south would be more evolved.
A few weeks ago I got, hungry and ate my dog and then I wasn't hungry anymore
Dog meat was a favorite meal for the Lewis and Clark expedition. But when they tried to trade for dogs to eat with the Nez Perz Indians the Indians thought that the white men were barbaric. If you do not believe me look it up in the journals of the expedition.
Lets face the facts, many cultures and countries eat dog and other types of animals or rodents. They breed often and in large numbers, grow up quickly and are available for consumption quickly.
I think the major revulsion many Americans have to eating dog is simply, in the U.S. and in other countries, dogs are pets, nigh on to becoming family members. It's been a fact though out history to some, they're pets, to others they're a food source.
Personally, I wouldn't eat dog because I have the emotional attachment to them as pets but regardless of how I feel, to some peoples, their food.
Why do Asians have this thing about eating dogs and cats? I know it is a cultural thing, but it just seems like there is a better way to get protein then eating your best friend.
Honestly? because they, the animals, are not seen as "your friend."
"Man's best friend' is a western concept for dogs, not everyone in the world considers then that.
I laugh at all you fools, India, whose culture has been around for thousands of years longer than ours hold cows sacred. That is there dog, but you don't complain about beef when you're feeding your fat faces, do you? I personally love dogs but not all cultures are the same, and no animal is more important than the other, just cause you want one sitting on your lonley disfunctional lap.
I find this to be very sickening, especially the comment about how dog meat "helps stamina". This seems to be the excuse to consume things like seahorses and shark fins as well. Some cultural rituals should stay in the past. Raise farm animals to eat if you must east meat. Eating a dog is disgusting period. I'd rather see them cannibalize themselves which serves two purposes....they get their protein and they help with over population....a win/win solution for all.
"..raise farm animals to eat" You DO KNOW.. that farm animals are ANY animal that is routinely raised on a farm? So ...if Koreans raise dogs to eat on dog farms...they ARE raising farm animals. THINKING - a dying art.
WHat is the problem with Asians and their "stamina"? Always trying to increase stamina...tiger penis, gorilla hands, dog meat, endangered bear gall bladders, etc.
Try Viagra guys.....it's alot easier.
I agree....get a freakin' implant if having a woody all the time is so important or use Viagra! Leave animals alone.
Aren't the Ebola virus and SARS, both fatal and extremely contagious, transmitted from eating "exotic" meats? If there is brain-destroying "mad cow" disease from cows and other ruminants (sheep), maybe there is a similar disease among canines.
It's a GREAT thing that Americans don't consume animals raised in filthy, squalid conditions typical of FACTORY FARMS where animals are cramped into tiny cages inside of unventilated closed off sheds where their quantity is more important than their quality and their bodies have to be literally flooded with antibiotics to keep them alive under conditions that would normally kill them...because that would be hypicritical...wouldn't it?
Oh wait! It's not fascisim when WE do it?
Nothing to see here folks, industry can regulate itself and the welfare of humans/animals will always trump the almighty dollar int he eys of big corp!!
Amen.
The problem I have is the cruel way the animals are treated. These idiots believe the meat is better if the animal is scared and full of adrenaline at death. They hang the animal until near death several times then burn the fur off while it's still alive. Check it out , it's all available on YouTube. When the people in charge of the animals are toothless retards that find it entertaining to torture...it's just wrong, in Korea or on US factory farms.
Too many dog pets for my taste buds. But honestly, if I got hungry enough I would.
Too many people on the planet...eat them.
This article turned my stomach and i would assume Emilly has no pets. I have four dogs and love each and every one of them. I would also like to say that everyone in this forum that is comparing dogs to sheep, pigs and cattle is absurd. How many cattle do you know of that protect thier owners and thier owners children? My dogs stay outside without chains and not in kennels and they never leave the yard as long as anyone is home. I have two pure breds and two mixes. They are all special good dogs that love my family and are a big part of our family. It makes me sick to think even in the civilized coutry of America that people wouldn't have a problem eating dogs (man's best friend!!). You people are sick. if meat is meat then let one of your family members take you out back and bludgeon you to death and your meat product down to some cannibals in the amazon!!!!
I feel the same way, nauseated while scanning this article. I was told by a Korean friend (who doesn't eat dog meat and abhors such idea) that in Korea, these dogs that are slaughtered for meat are actually specially bred for that. They're not kept as pets just like cattle, hog, or sheep.
Oh how true!
These people aren't Americans and aren't eating the family pet. You're also mistaken about the ability of other animals to bond with humans, to include pigs, cows, horses, burro, etc. The bottom line is you want the world to live according to your values and standards, yet see no need to conform with the value and standards of the rest of the world. The very freedoms the US was founded to embrace are the very freedoms you wish to trample over. You want to take away the rights of others because you don't like them. Imagine someone coming in and telling you to get rid of your dogs because they cause allergies that make their child deathly ill? Yet, you admit yourself that you don't confine or chain up your pets, thus putting the lives of others at risk. Whose life are they endangering by eating dogs?
Stop trying force your cultural ideas of food on other cultures. As long as the animals are humanely treated and slaughtered I don't care who eats what (and no I do not include humans in that). People keep pigs as pets, maybe we should force others not to eat that. People in India worship cow, maybe they should come over here and tell us what horrible disgusting people we are for that. Not every culture consider dogs mans best friend that is a western idea, not a human idea. Don't get me wrong I think dogs and cats are cute and all but I would give their meat a try (same with horses and rabbits and people keep those as pets).
Eating dog is no more immoral then eating pigs or chickens, its just a stipulation in the US that dogs are friends and above other animals. But if you were to grow up with a family pig or cow you would feel just as bad about eating from their species. The perfect comparison is to the Hindus in India who would cringe at the thought of eating cow while we eat it once a day, even worse they are genetically modified and raised in awful conditiions here. If you dont want to eat anything living than you can morally starve alone, eating other creatures is not just a part of human life but of all life.
I think China should be wiped off the face of the earth for eating dog meat. How disgusting. I say, let's rescue all the dogs and bomb the F*$# out of China.
KBell,
The picture maybe pointing to Chinese dogs, but the article itself actually describes the South Korean dog meat trade. So why not as you aptly put: "bomb the F*$# out of" South Korea too. Oh, while we are at it, since India's sacred animal has always been consumed in large quantities by Americans, why not let India "bomb the F*$# out of" United States too? I believe India has recently become NUclea capable.
Meant to say nuclear capable.
Correction:- India has not 'recently' become a nuclear power ... it has been one for decades.
No! Let them eat dog!
That dog looks so sad! I wanna take him home, give him a bath, a bowl of good food and a soft bed where he just realx as long as he needs too. Bet hes covered with fleas too.. poor baby.
As a vegetarian I don't understand what the difference is between eating a dog raised for meat and eating a chicken raised to be slaughtered. Meat is meat. And for those who think it is inhumane to kill dogs for food, just look at where your meat is coming from in the US. The way the raise and slaughter pigs, cows, and chickens are atrocious, so where are we to pass judgment on another culture's practice and customs?
Crazy I agree with another commentor. Although I don't believe the eating of dogs to be morally wrong. I think that most American's(and much of the developed world) looks down at the consumption of what we call our pets. We live a life that has been far removed from having to resort to eating dogs, but for some that's not true. Of course there are the frindge idiots that eat dog for "stamina"(they probably value rhino horns too).
.
People keep pigs as pets all the time, miniture pot-belly pigs are quite cute, but it is a weird reversal and it is seen as strange to keep "food" as a pet.
.
All in all, we have a soft spot for an animal as loyal as a dog is, and I myself would have a tough time eating one if I knew. But I wonder what would happen if this article was about eating cows in India.
.
Different strokes for different folks.
this story made me hungry. I would totally try dog. you think different breeds taste differently?
Small dogs taste like chicken wings – boney but tasty. Large breed dogs have more fat and taste like bald eagle.
Hitler should have included vegans on his hit list.
That comment is twisted and evil in so many ways I can't even find the words. Shame on you.
Didn't read all the posts but... the reason I believe these dogs in particular should not be used for consumption is that they are clearly domestic dogs. These dogs have been originally bred to be our companions not our dinner. It is cruel for this fact alone. People who eat domestic dogs are clearly lacking in the civility, compassion and responsibility sector or are starving to death and simply have no other choice. I commend those who work to bring knowledge to the people who support this unnecessary, inhumane, lower tradition. It is should simply be below the people of Korea and any other developed country to eat domestic dog.
Hermanocleas,
I sincerely hope you do not consume beef at all. Otherwise, you'll need to beg forgiveness from a billion Hindus for consuming their sacred animal.
What about dogs for research? I've seen a hundred cute beagles caged in a small building (in the US) for toxin research.
You all love dog meat anyway, anytime you go to a chinese restaurant what do you think your eating?
Bigot. I know the people who run my local Chinese restaurant, and they are ok. American people might be putting raccoon or possum in the burgers down at the Burger Clown, but the Chinese are touchy about their food.
There are a couple of reasons why eating dogs in civilized society is wrong (I use the term "civilized society" b/c in situations like Shackleton's expedition to the South Pole where you have problems keeping the humans and the dogs live–those are atypical and extreme worlds where normal rules don't apply).
1. Dogs have been bred over centuries to produce a creature that uniquely seeks human approval. We've bred chickens or cattle or other lifestock to enhance their agricultural productivity. The unique element about the selective breeding of dogs (which has produced hundreds of distinct breeds many of which have very specific purposes) is that dogs seek human approval and want to make us happy. To eat dogs is effectively to betray the species.
2. To argue in theory that "meat dogs" are okay b/c they bred and raised to be food is much like the theory that prostitution is okay b/c it's between two consenting adults–it ignores the reality of the situation. In theory prostitutes are consenting adults. In reality they're often minors, forced into, placed in extreme situations where to say "no" is to be beaten or even killed. Homeless or abandoned dogs, runaways, in some cases even stolen dogs end up in the "meat" category. Furthermore, there is often little or no regard for the dogs themselves. There are hundreds of video and documented accounts of dogs raised in pens too small to turn around in, or dogs who never exit their crate until they go to be killed and processed, or dogs who are inhumanely killed (the account above of the puppy barbecue is not the norm but also not surprising).
3. Just b/c something is "tradition" doesn't mean it should continue. We've got a near extinction of rhinos and something that's driving it further is the belief in some cultures that pieces of the rhino (like the genitals) have some medicinal value (so we see poaching and illegal marketing). Does anyone want to argue that should continue just b/c it's a cultural tradition? How about killing whales? While those two examples involve species that have seen their numbers reduced greatly, the point is that there are plenty of times when the world says "we don't care if this is a cultural tradition–it needs to change."
Cattle, horses, pigs, sheep, and more are all bred and have distinct breeds with distinct qualities. I have horses, yet I also know the value of their meat. Burro is the same. The problem is you want to apply western philosophy and values to another culture. They didn't invite our involvement and it's purely a cultural/internal issue that doesn't warrant us jumping in. Before you get too critical, then research every cultural and religious objection to what's in your diet and give those items up when someone opposes the consumption. Once you've done that, then you may have grounds for dictating what others may or may not enjoy. As it stands however, you're attempt to restrict the freedoms of others to live life on their terms is far more appauling than them eating dogs.
@sigh: Yes, but cattle as we see in the west was specifically bred long, long ago as a source of meat and milk. Horses were bred as beasts of burden. Dogs, on the otherhand, were bred from wolves to specifically assist humans in hunting and herding. Dogs have been bred to seek human approval, and to be our companions for thousands of years. Cattle have not been bred in such a fashion. Futhermore, there is strong evidence to suggest that dogs, unlike cattle, are sapient; that is to say that they are aware of their own existence. For most people, sapience marks the line between beast and personhood. That is the difference, and to ignore it is stupid. I condemn anyone who raises dogs for food.
I think this is a relevant question. Most of us are aware of the great abuses within the U.S. beef and pork industries, yet we continue to eat cows and pigs. Pigs are extremely intelligent creatures, and cows are usually gentle giants. We either eat sentient beings or we don't... to pick and choose is just imposing personal value systems on other cultures.
The difference between dogs / cats / horses and other production farming animals is that dogs / cats / horses have obvious compassion and understanding in their faces. Look at a cow / pig / sheep / goat and tell me that it understands anything...
How anyone could work in a "dog farm" and not feel like a complete waste of life is beyond me.
Sorry, we humanize our pets – whether they're dogs, cats, fish, birds...whatever – and treat them as family. Consuming a dog or cat in this country is akin to cannibalism. It's just not a societal norm, and rightfully so, never will be.
When Rover dies, we don't throw him on a grill and eat him. We cry and mourn for weeks after giving him a proper burial, much like how we'd treat a death to one of our close human counterparts.
This isn't a "discussion" that can be had on CNN.com, or anywhere else in the US.
To the author, I ask you this: will you eat your mother when she passes away?
Well put, the key phrase in your response is "in the US". However, the article is about the dog meat trade in South Korea. It is strange where a country that prides itself on the freedom of speech would impose certain views upon the citizens of another sovereign country. Let the citizens of the said country decide on their own what to do. The article acutally pointed out that due to many objections of the South Korean citizens, one of the traditiona dog meat eating event was cancelled. So, leave the South Koreans alone. They are doing fine just by themselves. We have too much of our own issues that need our attention.
This article appears on the front page of the US edition of CNN.com. My argument is this is not a discussion that needs to be had in the US.
I'm all for allowing other cultures to do what they want as long as it is internationally lawful (i.e. the international ban on whaling and Japan's refusal to abide).
I'm glad that CNN found this worthy of their homepage. Another USELESS post they put up... this might as well have been entitled "crap I heard from while at the mall."
For me, it's a feeling of connectedness to dogs which make me feel like eating them is out of the question. When I see a dog, I immediately see a friend – not an animal – and it might stem from humanity's bond with dogs that goes back thousands of years. In my lineage dogs were herders. My ancestors couldn't have survived without them, which is true for many of us in the West. In the East, where agriculture was king, maybe that wasn't the case as much. I have no scientific proof and I have no idea what I'm talking about, but that's how it feels. I would eat my own arm before I would eat a dog.
Meat is meat. Get over it. Animals are on this earth to be our food.
You narrow view, not mine.
Of course it is his/her point og view. He/she said it. The name says it all: "NotForYou".
Humans are meat too. I dare you eat a family member of yours when it dies. Using the term "Meat is meat" is stupid.
Go to the Amazon, they will gladly hunt, torture you, and then you eat you.
It is disgusting. But only because were not from there. In the Hindu religion it is a horrible act to eat a cow. There really is no difference between eating one mammal over the other except the stigma that is created in a particular culture. However, you won't find me eating a dog myself, but then again, I try my hardest not to eat any mammal at all. I love all animals, and they should never be treated poorly, even if they are to one day become food. It is not the eating of an animal that is inherently wrong, but the manner in which they are treated by their caretakers on the journey to their fate. And in the Western World, we have nothing to brag about. Factory Farming is just as horrifying as what is going on in China with the dogs.
I'm seriously considering dropping CNN.com from my daily pages to visit. This is just garbage.
Some people have pet pigs. They think you're a heartless evil villain when you eat pork.
Some people have pet cows and others worship them. They think you're a heartless evil villain when you eat beef.
You people have pet dogs. You think they're a heartless evil villain when they eat dog.
Why are you more right than they are?
1. Pigs are, well, pigs. They don't understand anything and they wallow in / eat their own feces. I've met some wonderful micro pot-bellied pigs but in the end their just a mindless eating machine.
2. People that worship anything are daft to begin with.
3. As I said farther up, dogs are companion animals. If cows or pigs sought human attention, helped humans to tame the wild (in any sense other than providing food) during expansion, saved lives on a daily basis, helped people to live better lives on a daily basis (in terms other than providing food) then I would view it differently.
Comparing production animals to something that has aided the human race (in terms other than providing food) for thousands of years is completely absurd. Dogs are inherently attatched to humans. They seek interaction, they seek to help, and they seek to comfort. You don't eat something that has been bred to be your companion.
Emily Lodish is just another CNN "noobreporter" looking to move up the ranks with a controversial topic. Moving on.
The only thing that can be gathered from this article is that many (not all) Asians are too incompassionate towards traditionally non food-trade animals, preferring to consume them for needless purposes (Asian men needing erections, puhleeeeeze, consider getting a penile implant losers!).
Wow. Generalizing much, JagPthr?
This Asian man is satisfying an British/German wife everynight. Does that make yours shrivel a bit? You Bigot!
What's wrong with eating dogs??? Have you ever owned one? Ignorant humans! Animals have no choice we are inhumane barbarians to do the things we do to animals. But we live in blindness because this society claims it's normal to inject animals with hormones cage them up rase them to kill them. How humane is that!
All living creatures have souls and emotions. What's wrong with eating humans then? We're the one's distroying this world and overpopulating it! If it's okay to slaughter, mistreat, and eat what was once a living creature?!
I don't know what this world has come to but it's not going to end good! We are distroying this earth and it's the very thing that gives us life!
People are so cruel. Anyone who would do this to a dog, cat or any pet animal isn't fit to live themselves.
These cruel people should be killed humanely and then consumed as delicacies.
It's just wrong because it is. We do not naturally hunt wolves for meat (except for ceremonial purposes – yuck). But for sustenance, we eat hooved, herding type animals or fish, etc. That is meat on the hoof, not dogs. Dogs are our companions. This is not cultural, it is anthropological. People would only resort to eating their dogs in a severe famine, and it was regretable. You don't need logical arguments to be against eating dog anyway, it's just wrong in your heart – and that's what people in these countries are starting to embrace finally.
I was going to say that we have become more civilized and do not need to eat dogs but after I read a lot of posts here I changed my mind!
Ah, yes... This simply provides more verification for the guiding theorem and principle I have believed most of my adult life that most of this world, the "human" world that is, is a backward, barely civilized and generally smelly ****hole in which every kind of inhumane brutality is valued by some tribal fuzzy-wuzzy somewhere. The fact that the United States seems to be moving in the same direction with its bold advance back to the 18th century utopia of "The Founders" (genuflect please) demonstrates that all complex systems will eventually reach equilibrium.
Sorry but this is just insane if not inhumane to me.
I think you mean incanine.
Although I have yet to enjoy the taste of dog meat (that I am aware of). I do know people who have partaken and they were not displeased. In fact, you can find recipes online. Most of the negative comments here are not regarding eating dog meat, but how the animal is killed for the meat. These are two separate issues. If you want to focus on an animal being killed in a cruel fashion, then argue that. Do not argue what happens to the meat.
I'm a vegetarian and I have 3 rescued stray dogs and would never knowingly or willingly eat a dog. but there are people who have pet pigs, pet cows, pet sheep who also have similar loving feelings toward their pets, yet in America it's totally acceptable and maybe even encouraged to eat these animals. Pigs are smart, trainable, and make great pets, yet bacon is such a popular and ubiquitous meat. I think it gets very tricky when you start to argue that some species of animal are "better" or "more deserving" than others..
It's just what you're used to- you can't try to place American cultural framework upon a different country and then call it revolting and horrible. Besides MOST Asians, especially the younger or more educated, do not eat dog meat. It's a small minority that'll probably continue to dwindle in the future. SOME dogs are very smart, loyal, sweet, playful etc. but some are also violent, aggressive, etc. Be honest, not every dog is a perfect FIdo ready to pull its owner out of a freezing lake etic.
Think about this too- thousands of homeless & unwanted dogs are euthanized each day in American shelters, they're overbred, tortured, discarded like trash. We have our own problems to work on here, before you start bashing on the "uncivilized Asians"
Are we forgetting that Koreans CLAIM to be Buddhists? And that, according to Buddhism, harming of sentient beings is unacceptable, especially if it's for purely personal, entertainment or selfish gain? (Rules self-defense as ok) Really....what a bunch of hypocrites.... Here's a verse for ya that probably most of those "animal activists" are living by, Mrs Emily: "Respect all sentient life as we are caretakers of things great and small"–Metta Sutta. IF you're so ignorant that you can't interpret what that means beyond it's superifical meaning, here ya go: in terms of nature, humans SHOULD be at the bottom of the food chain i.e. we don't have the sharpest claws, the highest jump, the longest life, the best memory, the stinkest spray, run the fastest, etc and etc and etc on into infinity. BUT......WHAT WE DO HAVE....is this mushy matter inside our skulls called brains. All we have is our intelligence. And our intelligence calls us to higher order behavior.....and eating "DOMESTIC", "COMPANION" animals is NOT higher order behavior. To all those of you here drawing analogies between cows (and Hindu beliefs), snakes, fish, etc....HUH?? Do I seriously have to point out to you that LIVESTOCK or WILDLIFE are NOT DOMESTICATED, COMPANION animals??? Seriously?? (and...please...let's stick to the situation presented, not 15 slightly related tangents)
Lastly, Buddhism calls humans to use our brains, which actually put us at the superior end of the food chain, for good, not for bad. Siddartha Gotama recognized that, while humans can use our brains for such great things i.e. cure smallpox, build skyscrapers, the internet, it can simulatenously be used for such evil things i.e. cruelty, torture, inhumanity. Which do you think the Buddha wanted us to choose? And which do you think that the hypocritical, Buddha-claiming Koreans are choosing? I see evidence of both choices.....when it should really only be the one choice, in every action, in every value. Such hypocrites.....(and yeah, we could have conversations aaaalllll day long about how all religions are hypocrites in some way.....so spare me....and let's focus on this particular situation that is presented....thanks)
Buddhism is going out of style...most Koreans these days are die-hard Christians
That explains it...
@futurelawyer2005
Only about 1/5 of South Korea is Buddhist! Some lawyer you're going to make!
@Dave@DailyHealthBlitz (geez...self-promoting AND eating/self-esteem issues):
You forgot to take into account that I taught English in Korea for several years. I am not wrong about the majority being Buddhist. Nor am I ignorant to the tenets of Buddhism as it applies to this topic (a direct result of having lived there for years). But, for the sake of argument, which you clearly love, let's suppose I am wrong about the FRACTION of Koreans who are Buddhist....what does that logically have to do with my being a good lawyer or not? Oh wait....it doesn't. Seems your logic and critical thinking are defective....which is usually direct reflection of the person themselves. I graduated in the top of my class and am currently a hard-working transactional attorney in Dallas. What are YOU doing??? I can only imagine you espousing daily rants at those who choose to cook their food or drink out of a bottle with BPA. hahaha Oh wait...I'm being trivial like you. So, back to being a mature adult, I confront and deny your misinformed fraction and troll-like behavior with my first-hand knowledge and experience. Have a nice day, mate.
Dogs and Cats are part of my family, just like the humans! If someone was a lower grade of human I wouldn't eat them!! Sick.
Dogs are different then other meat because dogs can become loyal, save people, comfort people. No other animal really does that other then cats.
Pigs do all of those things as well, as do horses and I'm sure many other animals. We only think of dogs and cats differently because as Americans we are used to these animals being pets.
Pigs do that too. British police use them to find lost persons. Farmers use pigs to find truffles.
To add to that sniff out bombs, drugs, find missing people . They are allowed to be companion animals and work with the blind and disabled . Yet some with eat the under the belief that they have special powers? That right there shows the ignorance of the person's eating them. Just because they can doesn't mean they should. If you followed this photo when it came out this truck was stopped by activists and paid off the driver to leave the dogs behind. They later found many of these dogs were ill and most had been family pets gone missing. Sick, sick, sick....
American liberals always think they know best what everyone else should do. Just because some people keep cats and dogs for pets does not make them different or special biologically than any other animal. Some people keep pigs, cows, and ducks as pets too but that doesn't make them inedible. God put all plants and animals on this Earth for our benefit, what each group of people chooses to do with these gifts is entirely up to them, not us.
Your "God" put animals on earth for the sole reason of feeding your ignorant right-wing gut? Boy, I'm really glad I don't share your distorted right-wing wacko world view. Then, in your religious holier-than-thou self-righteous superiority, you hatefully bash "liberals." You are so typical, so classic, of the right wing self-centered world view.
If that is what you actually believe then your god sucks. I suggest finding a new one.
Sorry Matt but there is only ONE to choose from. And He gave us animals to use for different reasons - some for food, to help us in our work, or to be companions. God is awesome!
not entirely agreeing with you but want to add one point.how can you call yourself a liberal when you object to someone else's behavior that has no consequence on you? just like gay marriage will not affect your marriage, other people eating dogs will not affect your diet or dogs. hypocrites. not that i am for or against it, let people choose for themselves
It does affect the dogs though, who are sentient beings.
God is so awesome that He also put the dog eaters on this earth.
They are just sick. I have a dog and if anyone every touched him they would have to deal with me. These people who kill and eat these dogs should be slaughtered themselves.
... and eaten with wasabi sauce.
And a nice chianti (key-YAN-tee)...
I forgot a vegetable. How about a nice, quiet sweet potato. "Silence of the Yams!" 8=))
So what if they eat dogs? Indians and many other hindus find our consumption of cattle to be morally appalling. Jews find the consumption of pork to be completely disgusting. I think it's fine if you don't agree on the koreans eating dogs, but if you're going there and forcibly impose your beliefs.....talk about Westernization. Send missionaries too while you're at it.
You're dead on. Not to mention these idiots wanting them to stop eating dog, but I guarantee you they aren't willing to pay for a "humane" solution. Are they going to pay to have the animals fixed? Isn't that "mutilation"? Suggest doing that to people and now we've crossed the line. Are they going to fund shelters? Are they going to do all this at their own expense, or dump it on someone else? I bet as soon as that bill comes due, they'll run for the hills and deny having anything to do with it.
It's a dog-eat-dog world.
You shouldn't be eating meat of any kind. There are way too many alternatives out there that are much healthier for your bodies and the environment than meat. An animal shouldn't have to die so that you can eat. Plant based diets are much healthier.
A close friend told me he doesn't eat meat of lower-intelligent beings because "you are what you eat".
So he only eats college professors, physicists and members of The Mensa Society?
Dogs, unlike other mammals, can understand the intricacies in different emotions of the human face. Its been proven that dogs can pick up on 99% of non-verbal cues from their owners...hence, "man's best friend"
To eat them is disgusting, especially in a world where there is plenty of other options for food. To me, the equivalent of eating monkey or dolphin- neither of which I am interested in.
Most animals can. Try hopping on a young horse when you're nervous and see what happens. Doesn't make them taste any worse, or less valuable as a source of nourishment. Are you going to foot the bill for taking care of all these dogs, or just try to force your will on them and then let them deal with the problem? You pay to keep them alive and don't you dare ask someone else to foot the bill whether through taxes or other. Still feeling righteous?
Dogs are our friends. You don't eat your friends. Reading about a dogmeat industry makes me sick. Its true. Asians will eat anything with a heartbeat.
Yeah, you were looking good until the last part. Did an Asian do your mom or something?
Asians will even eat fungi--and tofu!
And to the ignorant idiot who said animals are on this earth to be our food. Read a book do some reasearch so you can educate yourself and see it's not the case!
Whats wrong with it? Just about everything.
I think the analogies to eating pig or cow are valid, but just lead to the point that we shouldn't be eating any of these animals. With factory farms and rampant maltreatment of animals leading up to their slaughter in the meat industry, meat is both immoral and unhealthy. It made sense to consume animals at one time, but I think that time has passed. Not to forget that we have a growing global population with limited space and eating meat is not sustainable nor as efficient as eating vegetables.
I agree. I've mostly stopped eating red meat. It's unsustainable....not to mention how much meat goes to waste. At one point we would use every part of the animal. Now, if something's not cooked "medium-rare", we throw it down in the garbage. So wasteful.
Emily Lodish – Please allow me to respond to your article as eloquently and thoughtfully as I can. Your argument is as gutless and heartless as it is logically fallible...I could make the same case for cannibalism using the, "well, other cultures do it, so don't judge" argument. In all sincerity, please do the word's gene pool a favor and never, ever breed.
And CNN, shame on on you for putting this tabloid level crap on your website just to generate clicks.
They were the glowing eyes outside our campfire light, until one day when they came and joined up with us. They were the cry in the night that woke us in time, the lightning-swift attack that saved us from a beast, the fierce and loyal protector who guarded our families while we hunted. They fought rats for our food supply in deadly winters while we slept exhausted, and ran barking beside our horses as we rode to the hunt. No cow or horse or goat will step up and die to save you out of love. We brought them out of the caves with us, and we owe them for their loyalty and service, so eat something else.
Well said.
NICE!!! They are a gift to humans from God.... God spelled backwards is DOG.
This article just ticked me off and made me hate people even more. That poor baby in that picture!
Anyone who kills a dog for food should be killed themslef, unless it is an absolute life or death survival situation. I would love to get my hands on ANYONE who kills an animal, especially a dog. They would regret their deeds 10 fold. ANYONE who abuses or neglects an animal needs to have the same form of abuse done to them for the amount of time the abuse was done to the animal...cowards!!!!!!!
So, do you remember the EXACT moment you took leave of your senses?
So your a vegetarian?
You spoke nothing but ignorance. I love the taste varies meats. Rabbit, goat, deer, lamb, are very tasty. The book the that I read doesn't mention that I will eternal damnation for consuming such meats. Which book you ask...The Bible. If you can point where it says that I will have eternal damnation in that book, I'll change. Until then nothing you PETA people say really matters!!!
Wow, a real fire-breathing internet badaz. You don't see those every day- oh wait, you do. Yes, you are a dangerous guy, and you'd rip off their heads and pee down their necks, because you are pure awesomeness. Yawn.
In India they worship cows. Muslims consider pigs unclean. In Denmark, they eat horse. In Italy, they eat burro. If you're feeilng righteous enough to try and force your morals and values on others, are you willing to give up eveyrthing in your diet that others find offensive? Give up that beef, chicken, fish, pork. lamb, etc? People around the world view different species in different light. Personally we need to stay out of it. If you don't want to eat it, then don't. I'm passionate about horses, but don't have a problem if others find them delicious. I'd rather see one humanely put down and used to feed people over suffering from ailments due to old age. I guess that raises another point. If they let the dogs live, are you going to foot the bill for taking care of them? Don't tell me you want to ban the consumption and force others to foot the bill when you get your way and they have to figure out what to do with them because of you.
Excellent words and I agree with you.
It's a cultural thing, which of course the Western world wouldn't understand. Having been in Asia, there are parts that find it barbaric that we eat cow, or that we kill horses for glue, dog food, etc...
It's all about cultural norms... The "barbaric" views work both ways is what I'm saying.
Well said.
You mean dogs eat horses?
Dogs are just as bad as those Koreans.
The slaughter of horses is illegal in the US. Do a little research, champ.
Wrong, Brian. Horse meat consumption is not illegal in the US and some horse slaughterhouses still exist. More ignorance (why don't you do some research, pal?)
You're right; it's cultural. But our culture is entirely hypocritical about this, which you would realize if you were to witness how health research with dogs is carried out in the US.
My dog's got no nose.
"How does he smell?"
- Awful !
Nothing wrong with eating dog meat in my opinion, as long as it was not raised as some persons pet before. I have eaten it in Seoul.
It is wise to remember that when canis lupus became canis lupus familiaris some 15,000 years ago Rover was not viewed as a family companion but a working animal (hunting, herding, hauling, protecting). We selectively bred the dog into the hundreds of recognized breeds we have today, many of which are basically worthless except as a pet.
That some cultures chose to use the dog as a source of protein is not surprising. Other instances of use of he dog as sustenance abound. Read the account of Roald Amundsen's race for the South Pole and discover the fate of the dogs he used to haul the supplies on their journey.
As some of the posters point out, we humans are not particularly fussy about the way we harvest domesticated animals for food. That dogs are unceremoniously slaughtered for food should come as no surprise.
In the west we tend to romanticize dogs as 'man's best friend', but in other parts of the world (it's a BIG world, kids) they are just another animal; one that is not especially rare, endangered or deserving of any 'protection'.
Why does every other animal meat or bi-product from that region of the world supposedly increase "stamina". What a bunch of BS and moronic people.
The same type of mentality that believes invading Iraq will guarantee freedom and safety. Placebo effect is great.
BOO HOO! Killing dogs for food in Korea is just so baaad ... Koreans should do what we do in the US, put the dog in a kennel for a month and if nobody adopts it, euthanize it. Should Koreans also shoot up theirs dogs with chemicals to make them fatter or produce more milk or have more babies (like we do here)? What a bunch of hypocrites!! There are other cultures, norms, and world views other than our own. Happy 4th of July! Celebrate our freedom – but remember to resect the freedom of others as well.
??????? You say to respect their freedom and then at the same time say that Koreans should do as we do... Make up your mind.
Dog meat has been on the menu since ancient times. It's nothing new; it's just being made more public now. American's have a hard time understanding the need to consume certain animals because we see them as intelligent creatures with a willingness to offer friendship and love. Cats, rabbits and guinea pigs are among other animals that have been regularly eaten in other parts of the world; so this should not be a surprise to American's who happen to revere dogs as friends.
Here's is perfect reason why dogs are not food:
If you and your dog were on a lost on a hike and starving to death. Your dog would not eat you even after you die. In fact that makes them better that humans.
That's a nice thought, but actually, I think there have been cases where the owner died and the dog nibbled on the corpse before it was discovered. Few animals (humans included) will ignore food when they are starving and there are no other options. It's just basic survival instinct. I guess the only way to know for sure is to run an experiment, but that wouldn't be very fun, would it?
How stupid are you?! A dog would ABSOLUTELY eat you if you died. Dogs, unlike humans, don't really care where their sustenence comes from. Marie Prevost, anyone?
NOT TRUE. I personally know a guy who died in his house. It was over a week before someone discovered the body, and his two dogs had become VERY hungry. Use your imagination...... The dogs didn't starve.
They were eating anything that moved in Germany and Japan during the waning months of WWII, and through manipulation of the media, many of the civilians didn't even know they were losing the war until Allied troops were marching through their towns. I wonder what they'e not telling us? What's the recipe for next week? Rats?
Wow! What an article. I will remember the name Emily Lodish to see what other types of mess up skewed perspectives she can provide on other subjects in this world. The fact that CNN would publish an article like this is way beyond me. Wow! There really are no words to describe how messed up Emily Lodish must be as well as whoever at CNN thought running this story would be a good idea. Why don't we run a story about the benefits of female circumsision? How about the benefits to families in poor countries who abort all their female fetuses? In the US we certainly have a very arogant warped opinion on these types of things. How about the benefit of women not being allowed to drive in Saudia Arabia? Maybe Emily could let us know about how much safer their streets are because of this law? How about the Burqa? Doesn't that encourage a woman to remain pure for all the middle eastern guys? We just don't understand the benefits of these sorts of things. But thankfully Emily is here to explain these things to us.
That country is a toilet. Those people should be exterminated without regard to being human because I do not see them as human and neither should the rest of us!
Ivan, you've got your blinders on so you can denigrate another group of people. You really think this makes you superior? Would you think your geek-hater friends should also be exterminated for looking the other way while the US sacrifices thousands of really cute beagles caged for repeatability in spurious health research?
HUMANS ARE NOT THE SAME AS ANIMALS!!! Yes, there are some that have the ability to form bonds with humans, but people should be smart enough to use discretion. You can't over generalize things! An animal that saves peoples' lives is most likely a person's pet so of course it wouldn't be given up to eat! It was taught to view humans as a caregiver/companion. In the wild, a wild dog would eat you just as eat anything else! Would you try to pet a wild African dog?!!! Hell no! They are vicious and would eat you within their pack!
A wild African dog is a wild dog, a domesticated dog is a domesticated dog. They are related but not the same.
Doesn't look to me like the dog in that picture is about to eat the hand that is petting it. It looks like a completely domesticated animal. I would think they believe that domesticated dogs are much easier to raise and control than wild dogs. It also doesn't look to me like the dogs in this picture have been raised under stellar conditions. Don't argue with me that cows are domesticated. It's a dog, bred to be man's companion.
Second that.
What is acceptable in one culture is not always acceptable in another. Do I find it disgusting that Koreans eat dog? Yes. Do the people of India find it disgusting we eat cows? Yes. We cannot impose our will on cultural diversities we disagree with, but as the world becomes smaller, more and more of the outdated cultural issues will most likely disappear. There is nothing wrong with showing them an alternative, and allowing them to make the decision to continue or abolish a practice. What the real concern is the treatment of any food animals before slaughter. Are they taken care of? Killed humanely? We can't even treat our own species with respect, so how can we trust ourselves to treat other species with it?
Great argument but it seems that most people here are set on emotional reasons rather than rational.
how could you post that picture on the front page of cnn? so sad!!!!
When the real depression hits the US you'll be eating your own dogs too.
Many of the dogs in question here are domesticated breeds who were bred as companion pets, not as a meat source, which is the problem most civilized human societies have with serving them at meal time.
This is also part of the emotional reaction we see whenever these stories pop up.
Now, if Koreans were farming a specialized breed of WOLF that wasn't bred as a companion pet, that would be a little different. Granted, there would still be those who'd oppose eating wolf meat, but Koreans would be able to defend their practice by alleging that they're farming an undomesticated animal which is much larger, which means fewer deaths for per pound of animal flesh.
Also, a larger, specialized breed of wolf to serve as meat would be more difficult to argue against. After all, these wouldn't be the cute little puppies people buy at their local pet mart.
And btw...
It's "man's best friend," not "man's best snack."
Eating dogs violates Rule No. 1 of meat eating: No eating cute animals. No dogs, baby animals of any kind, cows, or pigs. Only chickens and fish are acceptable to eat.
You obviously haven't had some good veal. Mmmm... mmm... tasty baby cow.
Or Portuguese baby eels. Yum. But I guess that's outside of your "cute" criteria so it's ok.
and why not human flesh? meat is meat , no wait i don't like eating stupid bitches like Emily
This is why if push comes to shove, we gotta nuke them Chinks first.
Hopefully after we've paid them our debt...since in the financial world...they own us! That way we wouldn't be so barbaric and keep things fair.
if you eat a dog you are a soulless bastard, plain and simple. it does not matter where you come from. talk about evolution...?
so bring on the subsequent posts about "what's the difference between a dog and a pig, etc...". if you still don't get IT...read the sentences above repeatedly until you do or go watch the videos that John649 posted links to. then...if you still don't get IT you are still a soulless bastard. case closed.
If I HAD to eat dog, I would demand that it be fried in kitten oil. Delicious! Eating any meat is gross (says the vegetarian).
I understand that when an animal is abundant- it tends to be food for somebody. However, these people need to understand why so many people are against the inhumane treatment of dogs, and eating dog meat. One of the ways that science tests for animals intelligence is whether or not they can follow the famous human finger point. Dogs are one of the few animals that can understand exactly what it means when a human points at something. Dogs are intelligent, but not that intelligent....They can follow this point because of thousands of years being a companion of humans. It breaks my heart to know that there are places where dogs are raised just for meat. I personally don't enjoy eating any kind of meat. But i really can't understand predator eating predator. I hope that soon we can come to a common understanding about what a dog is to a human. Friend, not food. <3
Wild African dogs view humans as prey...like a rabbit or elk.
Killing undomesticated species who hunt humans isn't the same as killing a Chihuahua.
For ignorant people who keep bringing up Hindus and cows, get your info straight, they are VEGETARIANS. Pigs are not like dogs. If a pig escapes a farm it becomes a wild pig. It physically changes back into a wild animal within weeks. A family's dog gets loose, in a few weeks it's still a dog running up to people!! Can't believe how uneducated some people are.
That's a gross generalization... not all Hindus are vegetarians... many Saivites only abstain from meat on Fridays.
Most Hindus are vegetarian, is that better? Continue to chase your tail in circles...
No... "most" would suggest a numerical majority when the number is closer to 45% are vegetarian. Characterizing Hindus as "mostly vegetarians" is just as bad as using the strawman argument that the cultural taboo about eating cows in India as some sort of correlation to Koreans eating dogs.
Um no, I was in India a few months ago, practicing Hindus are vegetarian, vegetarian Hindus is much higher than 45%. MOST places yes MOST have extensive vegetarian menus, in areas with tourists, Christians or Muslims there is more meat on the menu.
If you balk at eating a dog but will eat any other animal flesh, then you are a hypocrite. The only ones that have any moral ground to be judging others on this topic are vegetarians or vegans.
Personally I'd try dog if it were offered to me; it can't be all that different than eating bear meat.
Eat dogs ??!!! What next ... eat your own children ? No debate on "good" meat or "bad" meat then. Burrrrrrpppp !!!! What joy ! Hail the human race !!
What the hell is all the big deal?! I'd have a dog burger any day, I bet they're great! This is an animal that was and still is eaten since it has existed, by humans. We here in America have gotten too damn use to our "own" ways and not that of our ancestors or the the rest of the world. " Politically correct" attitudes can go hug a tree for all I care.
I don't know about dog burgers, but whale burgers are delicious!
Its funny how humans see themselves as more higher-level beings than animals. Its true that our intelligence is higher than that of animals, but we've also created these ideas of souls and afterlife to comfort ourselves regarding death and in the end, they make us think human life is somehow more valuable, and help us to feel less guilty for killing animals.
But before people here in the USA want to start protesting about others eating cats and dogs, we should start applying the same logic to ourselves. Hindus dont eat beef, and yet we've never thought twice about that. Maybe we should look at their perspective to change our own habits before we try to act wise and pious enough to change the ways of others.
I agree. We will keep a convicted killer in prison for 50 years, but slaughter homeless cats and dogs, puppies and kittens, after 7 days in a shelter. We, as a species, have a long way to go.
Okay there are many good reasons why not to eat dog and why it is okay. But you have to understand culture and the reason behind South Korea eating dog meat. The reason why Koreans still eat dog meat (like many other Asian cultures in poor living situations) is mainly because of the Japanese Occupation. The Japanese took everything valuable and useful from the Koreans so that they couldn't live their normal life and eat normal food. So, what did they do? They had to eat their dogs to survive. Wouldn't you do the same for your family? For your children? I would place the life of my son or daughter or the life of my dog. Many of you may disagree but this is a cultural thing, not an immoral or intentionally cruel. I'm not trying to change your mind, but just offer a different perspective. I personally don't eat dog meat but understand that some people may. Its their choice in the end.
Quite right, my friend.
While I wouldn't eat dog myself, for anyone to argue that since they are "companion" animals no one should eat them is a silly argument at best. The article states that certain dogs are raised for consumption. Gross to me but so is eating cows in India or pigs to Jewish people. Pigs especially have a high intelligence and can be very caring pets.
No way should anyone eat a dog!!!!!! Or any other meat as far as I am concerned! We need compassion for all living things!
More holier than thou attitude from Western jingoists. Ask ourselves...what's different with a cow and a dog? What's different than a pig in a dog. Honestly, we like dogs because they're cuter. But if you look at resourcefulness and usefulness, maybe we shouldn't eat pigs then because of their usefulness beyond being livestock. But no – we don't like being objective and then force our opinions and judge other cultures.
Well the answer is obvious, but since you seem to have a 2nd grade level intellect, I will explain it. Dogs are not wild animals. They haven't been wild animals for thousands of years, not since wolves were first domesticated by man. They have been bred quite specifically to be companions to man (in addition to guard dogs, hunting dogs, etc.) ever since. Millions of people around the world have dogs in their homes that are a part of their family. Nobody keeps a cow as a pet.
Ever heard of "wild dogs." They exist. And pets will go feral when let loose.
What's with the needless and completely unwarranted dig in the article at a Golden Retriever?
"Then you're slaughtered and fed to a man who thinks he's humane because he pampers a Golden Retriever that has half your brains."
There is no dog with twice the brains of a Golden. Maybe twice the brains of a Beagle, that I could see.
Golden Retrievers rank 4th on the smartest dog list, Beagles ninth on the dumbest dog list, but I personally think that is much too high.
It's barbaric to eat any kind of meat in our society. If we did not have livestock to feed we would have even more food. Do you realize how much corn, etc livestock consumes? I grew up on a farm it is an enormous amount! Don't forget about all the water wasted in processing.
This is so heartwrenching!! How can anyone do this? This is so inhumane! what can we as activists in the usa do to fight this war on the dog meat trade?
I think this is the most sick think I have heard of beside people eating horse meat these are our pets what are they thinking my family comes from the meat industry, and when I work there I was sick I stop eating met for a very long time, I can think of why in the world you would eat you pet dog or cat, it makes me sick cows are raised for man to eat not a dog this has to STOP !!!!! this is aA SICK WORLD WE LIVE IN NOW and I find it very sad that we as civilized people but it looks like we are not I feel for the dog & cats, it make me so mad !!!!!!!! that this still goes on sick sick and very sad a law need to be passed to stop this NOW !!!
The arguments here are lively, as they are revealing. Many arguments though should be dismissed when anecdotal "evidence" is the sole basis of ones thesis. What I have gathered though: The human psyche is a fragile thing. As such, worldview is therefore a matter of perspective. I, for one, would engage in partaking of dog meat if the conditions warranted: Starvation, however noble the reason, is not an enjoyable excercise. The populations of many countries engage in this practice due to cultural normalization, or lack of more sustinable "domesticated" supply chains. The inhumane treatment of any animal, though, should give pause to any consumer. This though may never be as long as one mammal systematically consumes another. I will not, however, as Good Queen Bess stated: "seek to pry windows into men's souls" and regulate what they shall or shall not eat. Rather through patient and careful consideration make purchases and endorse products that are the lesser of many evils. The slaughtering of any animal is death to that creature the same; we can only seek to lessen the suffering. IMHO
That is just what overpopulated countries need: something to help their "stamina"
It's not so much eating dogs as it is how horrifically they're treated before butchering. Slaughtering animals for food should be quick and painless.
That said I would have no problem if the practice of eating dogs, cats, and other companion animals went the way of the dodo.
Those dodos would still be around if they weren't so d@mn tasty...
We kill thousands, maybe millions, I don't know, of dogs every year because we can't take care of them and can't have them going feral and running amok on our streets. Why not butcher them afterwards and export them to Korea? Would help the trade deficit.
Intruiging proposal. I am not sure though if a free range scavaging carnivore would be the best export to offset the trade imbalance.
no use in trying to reason with imbeciles...i'm an american and i don't eat dogs but what part of 'having a perspective' do you people not understand? the center of morality is not based on the american culture. eating dogs sounds disgusting to me but people have no right to judge others. muslims don't eat pork, indians don't eat beef and americans don't eat dogs...get a f***in grip and get off your high horse
In my opinion, eating pet style dogs is wrong, but I can understand why people do it. They have been bred for centuries to be docile, trusting, amicable animals, not the wild, untrusting and dangerous wolves that they once were. Something kind of seems wrong about breeding an animal to be "mans best friend" to where it has no defenses and then raise them en' masse to slaughter. I suppose animals like cows are more trustworthy and we raise and eat them without batting an eye. Pretty sure they weren't bred through the centuries as pets first though.
Dogs were domesticated for practical purposes like protection and hunting, etc. Early man found or created a symbiotic relationship whereby dog and man could exist together and both benefit from the relationship. It was a working partnership. They weren't domesticated so man could have a furry, cute little critter around to pet. That evolved later as we modernized, to the point where we really don't need them so much anymore, so let's eat them. But don't worry, as we enter the next Dark Ages, and civilization erodes away, that bond will be renewed.
mans best friend/emergency ration
I'm sorry, this is just wrong. But I'm a dog owner and I love my mutt. Not gonna grill my dog. I understand cultural differences though. To each his own.
One man's meat, as they say...
https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Sergeant_Stubby (great story of a dog promoted to sergeant in ww1
just another reason, we shouldn't eat dogs...?
What's wrong with eating dog meat? Everything!!
There's no difference between eating meat from a dog, and eating meat from a cow, or a pig, or a chicken. The only difference is in your head. Meat is meat. End of story.
How can they look into the eyes of the puppy in that picture and not see the sad expression on his face?... He knows he is being mistreated... He knows he would be loved by someone in a country that doesn't ask friends to give the ultimate sacrifice... Cows are expressionless animals who are happy eating until they die... They don't know things like dogs... My dogs are like my children... You people are sick...
Wow, you're perceptive. You think you know what dogs and cows think and feel? Who are you, Dr. Doolittle?
ok, i can't stop the chinese from eating dog meat, but really! the chinese are the cruelest people. they skin animals alive and sell them that way in the market so the meat is fresh. they raise their animals in the most inhumane ways. these people want to be respected because they have an inferiority complex which is driving their rise to the top of finance, etc. and they still maintain a culture that is on the reptilian scale. btw, i'm 1/2 asian so i know from what i speak!!!!!
Do you know what we do to cows and chickens in this country??? Do you know how they make veal??? Give me a break.
Is there anything wrong with eating a dog? Absolutely not. It's a persons personal choice and right to eat whatever they want to. What is NOT ok is pushing someone's personal mores onto another. Get that through your thick head first.
Having lived in Korea I can say that the country has more than enough farmland to raise whatever livestock is needed to feed the population. While I dont think our Government should not dictate the diet of countries we trade with, they should at some point raise the issue. Why does a country turn a blind eye to this kind of barbaric behavior? Maybe because as long as both sides are enriching themsleves with goods that we trade, then it's acceptable behavior. Why do we alloow Japan to defy a world ban on whaling? Well, they happen to hold a massive amount of US debt and I guess that means they hold the upper hand. In short. capitalism has turned this countries politicians into the biggest collection of money grubbing whores on the planet. They have little regard for the environment....and even less regard for their own citizens. The sooner they go the way of the dinosaur, the better off we will all be.
Joe! Point well said, anytime our country benefits from money, we do turn the other way! Why did we attack Iraq? To gain access to their oil... a no brainer.
Why not eat humans? There is no reason other than custom that prohibits it. As someone put it meat is meat. Food availaability and cost will drive change in our habits which are mostly cultural.
I have three dogs I love dearly and would protect at all cost but dogs raised as farm animals are not pets they are a comodity..
Domestication and breeding has evolved dogs in to creatures that bond emotionally with owners. We have created an animal that needs and loves us – I get the hypocrisy but can honestly say I just don't get how anyone could eat any animal be it pig-dog-monkey that is capable of bonding so intensely with humans. "But you mustn't forget it. You become responsible, forever, for what you've tamed. " — Antoine de Saint-Exupéry
I completely agree. It is wrong to eat an animal that has been bred to be your companion! I love the quote.
It's gross to us to eat dogs but we have no problems with the other animals we eat. That's the culture. In Israel & Muslim Countries they don't eat pork. Indians don't eat beef. I've been to Asia several times and have eaten dog. If taste a bit like a dry hamburger.
Dog can be quite a delicacy, but it must be prepared correctly. One doesn’t eat an old dog, as the meat becomes gamy and toxic over time. The ideal dog is about 2 years of age and a large breed.
Bake extremities at 350 degrees for 45 minutes – Rum and round cuts should be cooked longer at higher temperatures.
Season to taste and serve over a bed of rice.
I read this and just got vomit in the back of my throat, are you trying to make us all sick?
Say what you want about dog meat. We westerners were not raised on eating it. Parts of asia may love it, and considering they have the longest life expectancy by many years, who are any of you to say anything? Japan, then Hong Kong, are first and second place respectively. USA is ranked 36.
Wtf? Seriously? Who cares how we are "ranked", it's inhumane.
Please, instill me with your knowledge. How is it inhumane to eat an animal?
I personally would never eat a dog. I've had them my whole life, snuggle with my black lab any chance I get, etc. I pamper my pooches and love dogs in general. I guess in a way I'm the typical American, hyprocritiical in nature when it comes to eating meat. I can eat pork, chicken, beef, venison, etc because I am removed or distanced from killing it myself or seeing it be killed. If I owned pigs, cows, and chickens, chances are I wouldn't be able to eat them. If I saw those animals as companions, I would like be a vegetarian. If I observe a deer walking in its majesty, I couldn't bring myself to watch it being shot, field dressed, prepared, and eaten. Yet, if it were cut up in a grocery store it seems to remove some sort of moral responsibility from my sight. The only thing I admit is after I come home from the grocery store, my hypocrisy often tastes very good.
THis is a disgusting habit and no, eating dogsd is not at all the same as eating animals specifically raised to be eaten. Even those animals should be treated well and killed humanely, for that matter. But dogs and cats have been domesticated by mankind as companions and as such shoudl not be treated this way. They are intelligent and bred to help us in our lives and as such should be treated with respect and not as food. People who eat companion animals are horrible and should be stopped at every chance. Again, companion animals are different that food animals. Period. It's more than judging other cultures, it's about treating companion animals with the dignity they have earned over thousands of years of helping mankind. EATING dogs and cats is reprehensible.
Cows are domesticated also, have been before dogs and cats, yet you eat them. Just because you have a certain affection for the dog or cat, doesn't rule out that they have been harvested for sustenance.
How circular an argument.
Hear, hear! Second the Motion by EarlGray.
A dog is less intelligent than a pig. If we can eat pigs, we can eat dogs. It's silly to say that eating a dog is morally wrong because it's cute. Either you're against animals in general being eaten, or you're not. Picking and choosing between the ugly and mean animals is irrational. If an animal is not endangered, I say it's a go.
Although pigs can be social with people, they haven't been specifically raised over thousands of years, to be our companions, protectors, etc. We're part of their pack.. the leaders of their pack, to them. They love us unconditionally.
Personally, I'm a vegetarian because I don't make the distinction. Whether or not animals want to be our best buds or not, their lives have meaning. They don't exist, and certainly shouldn't suffer, just for our benefit.
I find some of these comments completely outlandish. Some of you act as though you've never eaten meat in your life. Where do you think your beef, pork, lamb and chicken come from? People all over the United States are slaughtering these animals in the same manner. I don't see how it's any different except for the fact that we consider dogs "pets". Can you honestly answer why it's different?
Yes, of course it's a cultural thing–and that is precisely what makes it immoral to eat dogs.
That is, BECAUSE we as a society find it morally reprehensible to eat dogs, it is incumbent upon those who are not anti-social to respect that common societal revulsion and not eat dogs, to embrace society (with all of its arbitrariness) as it is and treat dogs with the love and respect that our society demands of us.
It's like this–if your child has a strong emotional attachment to a blanket for whatever reasons (and some of these reasons may be good reasons, such as the association of the blanket with security and family and good times), you don't go and burn the blanket in front of them for the purposes of teaching them a lesson about transcending their emotions and that they should favor things like reason over emotion. There is nothing unhealthy about emotional attachments.
To go about challenging every cultural more for the sake of breaking society away from its emotional attachments, especially in the name of reason, is sociopathic. Eating dogs, in spite of the obvious social stigma against it, is explicitly anti-social and thus immoral to the point of sociopathy.
We do have an ethical obligation to our fellow man, to respect their emotions even when it might restrict our liberties somewhat. We do not need to choose between starving and eating dogs in this society. If it comes to that kind of choice, no doubt our collective repugnance concerning eating Fido will change and in that case, it would no longer be immoral because our eating of dogs would no longer offend so many people. Until that time (if it ever comes), it is obviously immoral to eat dogs in a society such as is found in the United States, and it seems that societies in China and other places in Asia are becoming more like the west in this specific cultural more.
You're a loon. There's nothing anti-social about wanting to eat, regardless of what it is. Remember that little wagon train up on the mountain? Survival is a core instinct and it's unrelated to social interaction. You're argument is like saying if your a Muslim instead of a Christian, then you're anti-social. Give me a break.
So go and prove your point. Raise a daughter and a son. Get them a puppy for their 5th birthday and raise it for a few years and make sure that your child has a strong emotional attachment to that pet.
Then, on their 12th birthday, you kill the dog in front of your child and make them eat a healthy serving of the pet's meat and finish that serving before they can eat their birthday cake and open their presents. Tell them that the gift you are giving them is the ability to transcend their emotions about Fido and that it is "not anti-social to eat" and then try and tell yourself that you are not a sociopathic @$$h0le and that what you are doing is not child abuse.
You can't.
Dont hurt the doggies :' (
The ONLY people who can condemn this are vegans and vegetarians...period. If you eat meat, then you are eating animals that have been culturally sanctioned as food...there is no objective metric that makes one animal edible and another not. Around the world people eat frogs, ants, guinea pigs, roaches, cows, pigs, sheep, etc. etc. Whatever emotions you have attached to dogs is all in your head. There's even scientific research showing that dog owners falsely believe they can read their pets' emotions...look it up.
You don't know what you are talking about. Do some research for posting please.
@Daniel...I bet the doggie in the photo looks sad to you right? It tugs at your heartstrings. Ever seen a cow in a slaughter house? Does it evoke any emotion in you? How about chickens, or ducks? I've done my research, and I am telling you, it is all in your head when you think that dogs are somehow more noble than other animals, or less deserving of slaughter. No animal should be consumed by a species that has the technology and the abundance to subsist solely on plants...until you give up all meat, you really have no argument...no objective argument anyway.
Actually, John would appear to know exactly what he is talking about when he is pointing out the hypocrisy that is very present on this board.
John, you also know that the science of psychology would support the fact that the vast majority of the people in our country have a very similar emotional reaction to the photo at the top of this article. Because of this, any call to people to pretend that they don't have this emotional reaction, or to tell them that they are WRONG to have this emotional reaction (because it is emotional and not, say, rational), is anti-social on your part–I daresay anti-social and even borderline sociopathic.
That is, it is immoral to be so anti-social with your "pro-rational" rhetoric in this manner. You DO have a moral obligation to your fellow man, to your society, to treat known emotionally-based mores with the respect they deserve.
I agree Bruce, that's why I condemn eating cows and pigs and fish and any other animal...because I find it disgusting and cruel. I have a negative physical reaction to photos of these animals being caught, corralled, gutted and chopped. Are you ready to defend all animals equally? It doesn't sound like it...
The day that the vast majority of society feels the same way about cows and pigs as they do about dogs (something you claim you feel), then yes, I will defend cows and pigs in the same way I now defend dogs.
Today this is not the case, so no, I will not come to the defense of cows and pigs and I will continue to eat beef and pork.
Such a terrible thing.
Remember Dog is God spelled backwards. LOL
Dogs are NOT food. They are pets. Period. Whether thats ok in some countries or not is not the point.
Everything is food. Just ask the worms that will devour your corpse after you're dead.
This is like asking "Why don't we eat babies". Other than the ick factor of cannibalism, of course. Dogs have been genetically modified over time and selective breeding to be our companions. They seek our companionship. They love us unconditionally. They are also completely dependent on us. Hurting an animal, much less raising it in factory farm style conditions, is abhorrent, and really more than inhumane, it's inhuman. We should've grown out of this level of barbarity by now.
Tell that to my neighbor's dog...he unconditionally wants to tear my throat out. If he comes over my fence, it's going to be me or him. But don't worry, if it's me, I won't eat him.
He's protecting _his_ pack and territory. You're not part of it.
I'm sorry, but I don't agree with people eating dogs. I am not some animal rights activist, but as a dog owner I think these animals cannot be put in the same class as cows and pigs (as demonstrated by the fact people all over the U.S. do not have pet cows and pigs in the same manor they have dogs). Dogs demonstrate a capacity to love and to learn and we see this demonstrated with police dogs, dogs used by the military, dogs that help the handicap, etc. To me reasoning with the logic to eat a dog is no different than accepting the notion of eating people.
Then don't. But just because you have an opinion doesn't mean I can't enjoy a little Great Dane now and then. People need to remember to cook them at low heat, because they are so lean. I have a nice marinade I can share if anyone's interested.
Only time a dog should be eaten is when there are no other sources of affordable food available. In the US, that is never the case, however in these countries, its most likely an ideal situation. Dogs are domesticated animals, who started wild, and were cross bread to fancy the likes of human beings. At the end of the day, if your dog is hungry, they'd eat you and so would you eat them.
As a dog owner, I love my Dachshund. I cannot fathom every being in a position where I'd have to see her as a meal, however, when it comes down to the nitty gritty, and its just her and I left in the entire world, with no resources left, its her or me...I'm taking her out.
I like kids..I just can't eat a whole one in a sitting.
I would refer you to a little movie called "A Boy And His Dog".
A classic....
I I am not a vegetarian and I am a dog lover, proud owner (or father, lol), but this is just wrong! Even looking at the picture of that dog on this article breaks my heart. To even think that he was destined to be eaten. It feels like it's a human child. It's just wrong!
how can you call yourself a liberal when you object to someone else's behavior that has no consequence on you? just like gay marriage will not affect your marriage, other people eating dogs will not affect your diet or dogs. hypocrites. not that i am for or against it, let people choose for themselv
themselves
right on. there are many things that people consider 'wrong'. what they don't understand is that they are just different.
Liberals care when actions have negative affects on others, not just when they have negative actions on they themselves. I think you're confusing liberal and conservative.
another fake liberal
There's nothing empirically wrong with it. If you're looking at cold hard facts, it's hard to draw a moral line between dog meat and cow meat.
On the other hand, most of us see dogs as companions, so most of us find it offensive. It doesn't matter if there's a calculated reason not to eat dog meat if there is a large public outrage against it.
It's kind of like the Supreme Court ruling on p-o-r-n: I can't define it, but I know it when I see it.
Cows have not been bred to be our companions. Humans selectively bred dogs for thousands of years, enhancing the traits that make them better companions to humans. Their purpose is to be a companion, because we've pretty much designed them that way.
causing pain and suffering to any being that self aware is just cruel. look at that animals face. that truck is equivalent to guantanamo bay. that animal feels pain, experiences depression and anxiety just like you and i do. clearly we are never going to truly evolve or understand the meaning of compassion.
He is terrified and afraid and looking to that human for solace. He could bite her in fear but he doesn't
How is raising dogs for meat ANY different from us raising cows and chickens for meat? Would I eat dog? NO...but it is their practice and way of life. And yes they do need to impose some more humane laws...
Have you ever been on a farm? Have you ever seen a cow or a chicken up close and interacted with it? They have absolutely no thought process. They are the essential "animal". Like the squirrel in your tree outside it's brain is saying, "find food, find food, find food, eat, eat, eat, eat, gotta poop, eat, eat, walk, walk, walk, find food.. etc". A dog comprehends human speech, it comprehends emotion, and interacts with us better than most of our own species do.
The "how is it any different" arguement is flawed on so many levels. Go visist a farm and tell me that the cow knows it's rear from a hole in the ground.
It's not like these people are taking Fido, the family pet, out after 10 years and putting him on the grill. It seems a little shortsighted to push our morals and social norms on a culture half a world away. Like most animals, I'm guessing eating dog came out of necessity, but as time went on some locals developed an affinity for the meat. It's easy to judge when meat has been widely available and relatively inexpensive in the U.S. for a very long time, but that has not been the case in some of these eastern cultures including Korea 40 years ago.
No worries, I doubt you're going to see gaegogi underneath bulgogi or kalbi on the menu at your local Korean BBQ any time soon.
Actually, yes, they are. The industry isn't regulated. Stray dogs are picked up all the time and slaughtered for meat. Don't let your dog off the leash!
Voicing a revulsion that all of us have (and we have it because it has been given to us from early childhood, we really did not have a choice in that matter) to the photo at the top of this article and to the image that comes to mind when we read the term, "dog meat farm," is not forcing our culture down anyone else's throat. It's merely giving voice to an emotion that pretty much all of us have when we contemplate those images.
If we invaded China with our military in order to stop them from eating dogs based on our collective emotions regarding these images, now THAT would be forcing our culture down their throat. Posting your reactions to a CNN blog is not some form of cultural imperialism.
If you want to live, you have to kill something, even if it's just a plant or a seed. Even if you eat corn, you are preventing the life of a corn plant. Several corn plants, even.
There's a big difference between eating the product of a plant that has no emotions, central nervous system, or brain, than eating an animal that has all the same brain structures, emotions, and pain sensors we do. Not to mention dogs have been bred by humans to be our companions, enhancing the emotional responses that improve such relationships.
(Many plants make fruit to entice animals to eat them in order to spread their seeds when they come out the other end)
True, but plucking the fruit off a non-sentient plant doesn't involve suffering on it's behalf. When's the last time you saw momma plant leading it's quacking babies to the pond for a brief swim?
Ahhhh–because it has no CNS does not move and does not speak–we have decided it cannot feel? And we base that on? Oh yeah–the fact that feeling comes from the CNS–we do not yet know the equivalent in plants–but science has shown that plants do react to stimuli–from the wind blowing to being cut and they react violently to the latter.
If your criteria for life and compassion rests solely on movement and sound–Lord help any comatose or catatonic or paralyzed person you may come across. The reality is–to survive–something must die for you to live. For some, they kill other animals (and those animals also kill things to live) for others, they kill plants–but killing is done–its just that humans rationalize what they personally do as opposed to all the "horrible things" done by others.
To each his own–still no one exists on the planet without killing something in order to be more comfortable or to eat–humans are the only things that kill for pleasure or to gain money–both ephemeral and largely abstract benefits.
They aren't naturally prey animals. They were bred to be human companions and have certain emotions associated with us. They evolved along side us, not to be eaten by us....duh stupid stupid people. I don't eat meat anyway, there's no point besides the fact it tastes good...not a good enough reason for me.
If the above photo does not only offend but ANGER you, then you are being way too pragmatic. I realize that customs including, diets differ in other countries. But I don't care who you are, this picture should anger you...dogs are pets...IMO, and not food...I realize as a pragmatist, some would think dogs are the same as pigs and cows, but as a feeling human being....NO WAY!!!! That is it, I am becoming a vegetarian...Maybe Mark Zuckerberg was on to something...don't eat anything that you don't kill yourself...that way you have to think about killing something every time you eat some thing...there may be way less meat eaters in this country that way....I personally couldn't do it...
Congratulations on your decision to become a vegetarian! Sometimes it takes something like to get people to see exactly how they're rationalizing the torture that animals go through every day because we like to eat their dead bodies.
Sick, sick, sick. Many dogs are nearly family members, they are domesticated pets. These people are not eating dogs because they are starving and there is nothing else to eat, they are choosing to do it, sick.
I think mistreatment of all animals is wrong but mistreatment of a dog is so much worse. they are bound to us for centuries by selected breeding to be our companions. they feel what we feel, they can sense our pain....they protect us, help us hunt, help us to see when we can't and so much more....they have been saving our lives and helping us survive...any comparisons to other animals are just false...have you every seen pig walk a blind person to safety? or a cow rescue someone trapped under an avalanche? Eating of dogs and the entire process is reprehensible and should be outlawed. Just because it was common 50 yrs ago during a famine when people had no choice doesnt make it cultural. you can explain many different atrocities as cultural, doesn’t mean they're right and should be tolerated in modern society. A dog is the smartest animal on the planet outside of us, even smarter than a chimp according to recent research…to torture and eat it is morally reprehensible.
Dogs raised for food is ok. Pigs raised for food is ok. None are tortured before slaughter.
Typical meat eater who isn't interested in knowing the facts. Animals are tortured every day in the world's factory farms and slaughter houses so you can eat their dead bodies. Male chicks, for instance, are tosses on a conveyor belt leading to a grinder (alive) because they're not of use to the poultry industry, and that's just the beginning of what goes on. If we held farmers (factory) to the same standards we hold pet owners to when it comes to animal cruelty, they'd all be in jail
meat is meat so go eat your mother u moronic bitch but first beat her up to death or boil her alive same as asians do to mans best friend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! stupid people should not breed, thats 4 yr mom Emily
Your comment is sick, LMAO, but I must say I agree with you...
vegan hugs dude..
Please don't give the Koreans any more ideas...
I don't see why everyone is so worked up about this. Food is food, whether it's your best friend(dog) or a genetically engineered cow. People need to realized that prior to Korea's industrialization, food was SCARCE. When you're starving on a cold winter in Korea and you come across a dog... well use your imagination. Eventually this spiraled into a common Korean household delicacy. People need to realize that not everyone eats McDonald's( though you never REALLY know what's in that burger). Lighten up people! Let's realize that life doesn't revolve around the American Norm.
Just because it was done in the past during a famine when people had no choice doesnt make it acceptable now. We can't live in the past, society must evolve. Should we all live like barbarians because our ancestors did...what ridiculous logic. S. Korea is a wealthy nation now...there is no reason for them to eat dog now. better, cheaper meat is available...meat that didnt come from man's best friend. Also, stop using "culture" as an excuse...you can use "culture" as an excuse for every atrocity...oh "Child marriage and subsequent rape has been legal in Saudi Arabia for centuries...what's wrong with you...stop being so American centric"....no you idiot...wrong is wrong and its not America vs the world on this one...only a hand full of countries have areas where dog is eaten...its South Korea vs the world and what’s moral.
There is a difference between food and society evolving. We all can't eat the typical Mcdonald's happy meal can we? Most food/cuisine were made centuries upon centuries ago, something that America isn't abundant of. Also, I never said those things were right did I? Of course those things are wrong and should fixed, but don't relate human mistreatment with cultural cuisine. Dogs are different from humans, whether you agree or not. They are. The fact that you won't even try to understand the other side amazes me. If you really feel passionate about saving those dogs, I recommend you taking a trip down to Korea and buy up all those dogs and take them home =)
The Orient is an evil place. Dogs are companion animals and evolved to be in tune to emotion. Any person who advocates the torture of burning and skinning alive of any animal will have a special place in hell. And to the moron who says the US bombs "innocents' everyday- Get a life.
Wow, what a pompous thing to say. The fact that you even called the "Orient an evil place," just shows how ignorant American's are. You need take a trip to an Asian country and experience the life-style of the "Orient." I am a proud american and it makes me sad that we harbor arrogant jerks like you! Thanks and have a nice day!
And who the hell are you to say that? I'm not "Oriental" and as a vegetarian, I think all forms of meat are wrong, but I'm not going to spout that off to anybody who eats it. GTFO
I sure hope they catch those people eatin dog. That's just wrong. Even my uncle Earl knows that and he's down right dumb.
There are cave drawing of early Europeans being buried with their"dogs". They are in the same "grave". India doesn't eat cow? Yep, because Indians understand things?? Right..
Even if trained, I doubt a cow/pig would take a bullet for someone(dogs do it all the time), make conscious decisions to run into fires( going against their survival instincts) to save someone they love.
Or without being told, go get your bedroom slippers because you say" my feet are cold"..
Look into their eyes, there is something, that very few other animals have.. Dolphins have it, cats have it, to some extent horses have it.
AND NOW-A LITTLE BIT OF FACTUAL INFORMATION ABOUT THE EATING OF DOG–NOT JUST IN THE ORIENT–BUT IN THAT MOST CIVILIZED OF COUNTRIES–SWITZERLAND–EATEN TO THIS VERY DAY....
"Dog meat refers to edible parts and the flesh derived from (predominantly domestic) dogs. Human consumption of dog meat has been recorded in many parts of the world, including ancient China, ancient Mexico, and ancient Rome.[2] According to contemporary reports, dog meat is consumed in a variety of countries such as Switzerland,[3] China,[4] Vietnam,[5] the Philippines,[6] and Korea.[7] In addition, dog meat has also been used as survival food in times of war and/or other hardships.[8][9]
In contemporary times, some cultures view the consumption of dog meat to be a part of their traditional cuisine, while others consider consumption of dog to be inappropriate and offensive. In response to criticisms, proponents of dog meat have argued that distinctions between livestock and pets is subjective, and that there is no difference with eating the meat of different animals, while countering that those critical of dog meat consumption are guilty of cultural supremacy, if not racism.[10][11][12] Eating dog is forbidden under Jewish and Islamic dietary laws"
Switzerland
Popular Swiss recipes for dog meat include gedörrtes Hundefleisch served as paper-thin slices, as well as smoked dog ham, Hundeschinken, which is prepared by salting and drying raw dog meat.
The traditional culture surrounding the consumption of dog meat varied from tribe to tribe among the original inhabitants of North America, with some tribes relishing it as a delicacy, and others (such as the Comanche) treating it as an abhorrent practice.[88] Native peoples of the Great Plains, such as the Sioux and Cheyenne, consumed it, but there was a concurrent religious taboo against the meat of wild canines"
While the meat is not eaten, in some rural areas of Poland, dog fat can be made into lard, which by tradition is believed to have medicinal properties – being good for the lungs, for instance.[79] In 2009, a scandal erupted when a farm near Częstochowa was discovered rearing dogs to be rendered down into lard.[79]"
uh huh–now talk some more about those "horrible orientals" LOL
Unlike all other animals, dogs have a soul just like humans. That is why it is so very very wrong.
Insane. You don't have a soul either. Religion is rubbish. They are meat, we are meat to animals, it's all meat.
Those who are against dogs being used as a food source because they believe all meat is wrong, then at least they are not being hypocritical.
Those who are against it because dogs are 'different'? They need to take a step back and stop judging from your own little cultural bubble. Animals are animals. Eat them or don't based on your own moral code, but what doesn't fly for your part of the world is perfectly normal elsewhere and you have no business trying to force your will there.
If Koreans want to eat dog, great. It's a cheap plentiful food source that could help them cover coming food production gaps perhaps with their ever rising population.
Get off your high horses people.
Incidentally the Swedes want to eat your horses too..
It's sad how many people here have a superiority complex or try to come off as educated when they clearly aren't. Here are the problems with eating dogs.
1. Cognitively, yes they're higher developed than a cow. Do some literature and article searches you'll find a lot of research on it. Dogs have the basic cognitive functions of young children, same goes for apes which is why I would also call eating a gorilla perverted.
2. For those drops out who don't know this, dogs evolved from wolves. They were bred, unintentionally, to exhibit wolf puppy like behavior over a longer period of time. This is why dogs are not aggressive towards humans and act like wolf puppies because essentially, they are juvenile their entire lives. It's like killing a baby.
3. Dogs have diverse emotions, not just fear responses. They can love just like a child can with all the devotion that comes along with it. Same hormonal responses as mother child bonding.
4. Dogs are evolved ALONG with us, not for us. Right now a lot of research is being done regarding our own evolution which is highly likely to have succeeded, in contrast to the neanderthal, BECAUSE we word side by side with dogs. Early cave paintings depict people hunting with the HELP of dogs.
So for us to sit here and make this a cultural debate is irrelevant. This has nothing to do with culture this has to do with a sense of humanity. If you want to go eat a little 3 year old kid and have no problems with it because "meat is meat" hey, I know some great psychiatrists. If you're going to sit here and say every cultural practice should be accepted by the world, think about segregation, child brides, forced prostitution, etc. If you're a vegan, this is not a chance for you to try to guilt trip everyone either, humans are omnivores, don't force it.
1. So are pigs. Pigs taste great.
2. Do you really think modern cows existed in nature in the form we see today? Modern meat animals have all evolved to one extent or another in parallel with their hungry human masters.
3. Good for them. Goats and pigs can be quite affectionate as well if you've spent any time around them.
4. In addition to #2 above I would add that dogs make wonderful force multiples as tools to help with everything from hunting to security and in some cases companionship. They are still tools though, ask anyone who hunts with dogs.
It actually has everything to do with culture. In SE Asia until recently (when Western ideas about dogs came into play) dogs were seen as tools and a food source. Good for them. In India the cow is sacred. Good for them.
Here I choose to eat the cow and pet the dog. It doesn't mean I should tell them what to do just because I don't approve of it. Making analogies to eating a human child is just idiotic.
It's called personification–ie imagining human characteristics, emotions and thought processes to a nonhuman. Dogs did not "evolve" along with us. Dogs and the current position is the result of domestication, opportunity and a lot of free time on the part of humans–not to mention many people equate dogs with children–especially as they get older or are sterile and cannot have kids anymore or cannot take care of kids.
The reality is that in Poland TO THIS DAY–dogs are often rendered down to make lard for cooking. The Swiss DO EAT dog meat, Many European cultures eat horse meat and other animals. What we have here is ethnocentrism–we presume what we believe, do and think is right and if the rest of the world perceives differently –then we are superior for our thoughts and acts. Of course this superiority exists only in each country's mind. The reality even more evident is that dogs like steers and horses were both working animals AND potential FOOD and have been for thousands of years.
you may wish to imbue dogs with human characteristics or argue that they should not be food–if they could get away with it or were starving, we can guarantee that you would be food to your dog. Pragmatically, they are protein and protein is the only means of gaining all 21 amino acids essential to human life.
Protein can be derived from veggies but not in a complete form–in meat, it is in a complete form (with the exception of rabbit which lacks Vitamin E) People may not like it–but the majority of people are meat eaters in the world and we enjoy meat. That some have the luxury of limiting the kinds of meat is laudable but it is not the norm. Most countries do not have enough space for herds of cattle and many do not have the viable resources to raise pigs or they do not eat them for religious reasons. The bottom line is–in some countries –dogs are food–they have been food for thousands of years. Sentimentality aside, the only reason humans do not eat each other except in dire times is because to do so would indicate a breakdown of society. Long pig is a food relished by some tribes still and many peoples have partaken of it.
Some countries, including some European ones eat dogs, some eat horses. If you don't –then don't but consider that if you do not want other nations telling us what to do or how to live, then you might want to treat people the way you want to be treated–we could extend that to not invading other countries for our own gain, and not bombing people too–but it all boils down to a lot of Americans needed to grow up and get perspective–both your opinion and your ability to dictate what people do–STOPS at our own borders or where we occupy and control the people.
@ korean culture 101, No, don't give me any of this cultural relativism crap. There's some things that are universal, and killin your best friend is always wrong. Dog = man's best friend. Therefore killin dog is wrong. End of story.
@Billy Bob redneck, just because your little brain have not experienced other societies doesn't make yours right.
Dude, just like I don't need to eat dirt to know it tastes bad, I don't need to be Korean to know that eatin dog is wrong. There ya go.
Billy bob are you being serious? So it's ok for Americans do bomb/invade other countries without a legitimate reason( Iraq- so called weapons of mass destruction.) But it's wrong for an country to practice certain aspect of their culture? My friend stop being a hypocrite!
No, I don't agree with America bombing other countries – I agree that's wrong. But on the issue of eating dogs, I just don't see any middle ground.
I dont see any reason why we cannot eat dog meat, these dogs are raised with one purpose the same purpose pigs, cows, chickens and pigeons are raised for, for there meat. I eat dog meat and have pictures of my family members skinning a dog on my facebook. I also have a pet Shitzu, this pet probably is smarter than allot of people that have commented here, will I ever even think about eating him NO. Just like people who have pigs as pets. A few years ago I had two dogs, one of them was in a pen in the back yard for meat and the other was inside the house sitting on the bed while me and my wife slept.
People have commented about eating human meat, I dont care for human meat and I dont want any. Although looking at some of the people around me and probably allot of the people commenting here, if we still live in a society that kills the butchers the weak, allot of you guys would be dead and in someone else's stew pot.
i prefer possum
If you want to dictate they give up dog in their diet, then I assume you have the rest of the issue resolved. I'll agree they should give up eating dog if you can answer the folllowing:
1. Who will pay for the care of the dogs?
2. Who will pay to have them spayed and nutered?
3. Who will pay for vet care and vaccinations to prevent a massive outbreak of say....rabies?
4. Who will take in the animals?
5. What will the source of meat be that will be used in lieu of dog?
6. What will the meat cost to raise, procure, and process for consumption compared to dog?
7. Who will fund these new facilitiies used to raise the replacement?
8. Are you going to foot the bill, or expect them to deal with it once you've forced your will upon them?
9. Are you going to give up eating everything other cultures find revolting, or just be hypocritical?
10. Why is this your problem and issue to deal with? Do you live there? Were you invited to participate/meddle in their affairs?
Humans can live as strict vegetarians, but not as strict carnivores. We don't need to eat meat, but do need to eat vegetables. Your points about the need to care for the rescued animals are certainly valid,and there are humane societies in China that would be able to provide that care.
I hate what hey do to dogs in many countrys in Asia is so barbaric!!!!!! I hope they find in the hearts to stop the cruelty!!!!
you've got to be kidding me. asia is barbaric for eating dogs? how about the german nazis back in WWII? how about the americans dropping nukes?
@ John T., come on, nobody has pictures of people skinning dogs. That kind of brutality is from the middle ages.
The problem with eating dogs and cats is that these people will be eating people soon. You guys are just too young to have watched Soylent Green. You'll see, your lust for meat will wind up being your neighbor ala The Road, it's people!
I think we should raise humans as meat animals. It makes as much sense to me as raising dogs that way.
Exactly. People keep arguing that it's "all meet" and that animals are all the same.
The fact is, that humans are animals too.
I agree with the people who think it's morally wrong to eat dogs, our companions, vs. pigs, cows or chickens. 100s of years of domestication have made dogs able to connect with us emotionally. They give us comfort, protect our children, they can be trained to guide the blind or physically impaired. I think of my dog who, if I cry about something, snuggles up next to me until I feel better. It's a disturbing thought to think we could slaughter and eat these animals that love us so much.
Shame on Emily Lodish for writing this article.
Looking at some of these comments and their callousness makes me fear for the future of the human race .... if these supposedly human (but definitely not humane) beings truly believe in a "dog eat dog" world, who will be next .... ?
@ Riddle me this, each dog can be given to the humane society and the owners must pay $50. They should be lucky to avoid jail time for their cruelty.
Assuming they have the humane society, $50, etc. This isn't in the US.
Are dog meat low in cholesterol?
same as low as your brains u fucktard
I cannot imagine dog meat tasting good, but I see nothing wrong with it. I also do not see anything wrong with eating cats or other things people would consider taboo. I think Pig meat is nasty. Not because I am a vegetarian, but because I know the conditions that most pork comes from. Pigs eat garbage, and have an abundace of parasites. You would not eat pork medium rare. Pigs can be fed garbage until they are slaughtered and taste awful. They can also be raised on garbage and fed vegetables (usually corn) near the time they are slaughtered and they will taste better. I have eaten wild boar meat(not the deli meat company) and had it prepared medium rare (maybe more on the rare side) and it was awesome. I did not get sick or anything. My point is that anything can be eaten that has a certain diet. I cannot imagine dog or cat meat tasting good because they also eat meat and this effects the flavor.
Rabbits are awesome pets and I have heard they taste good. Would I ever eat one, probably not. Would I eat a dog, cat, rabbit or squirrel if I were starving to death? Probably.
I have a pet chicken that comes to my door and lets me pet her and hold her. She and my dog even get along. I would never eat her, but have no problem eating chicken in general. I can understand how someone could have a pet and eat its cousin. Culturally, I couldn't ever imagine eating dog meat, but then, it's not my culture.
Probably would try it, guys I work with that go to Korea told me it was great. I have eaten horse in Japan. Everytime I see a pile of dog crap at the park or in my yard I think we should start eating dogs here would help reduce the population.
Maybe all the starving people in the world just need that, give them all the dogs.
eating meat whether beef, pork, chicken, etc means taking out another ones life for your own. if you do you can make it fair by promising to have others eat out up when your time is up. but humans are ego-centric and do not give back what they took from the planet and so they place their bodies in caskets.
What a bunch of hypocrites! When some people eat dog, you frown on them. When some people do not want to eat cow, you laugh at them! Have you ever thought that what you consider as moral is may be, just may be, considered immoral by other people, just like what some other people consider moral is deemed immoral by you?
I would eat a person with your opinions...
Eating meat is wrong in all cases (in my opinion). Eating dogs is Barbaric , no exceptions. I know there are many who disagree with this view and enjoy eating meat. If you eat chicken, cow, pig, or any other animal.. yet you say it is wrong to eat dogs... you are a hypocrite. The thought of dogs being raised as food, tormented, and killed... is revolting and I cry just thinking of it. I have 2 dogs and I'd kill anyone who even thought about harming them,. There is no justification for dogs as food other than it's probably cheaper than cattle , sheep or pigs to raise them.. since they are naturally drawn to people and trust them with their lives....the cooperate and are easily handled, require far less feeding and housing. The monsters who do this will find themselves answering for their actions at the end of the line... Fate, Karma, heaven or Hell... one way or another... the score wil be evened.
Dogs are companion animals just like cats & horses. Companion animals are NOT for consumption. They're family members, best friends, helpers, etc.
We 're not experiencing any global devastation, no nuclear winter. We're not in "survival" mode. Eating companion animals is massively wrong on every level.
Horses are on the menu in Italy and France.
If you look a dog in the eye and don't find love, I don't know what's wrong with you. Dogs are great friends, everybody should be lucky enough to share their life with one.
Tell that to a family who has lost a child from a dog attacking it. I know a number of people who have been attacked. Not all dogs are like Snoopy. There are A LOT of vicious dogs. Don't tell me you're all for putting them down? That would mean it's not dogs you want to protect, but only select dogs. Who makes the determination and if you want them all to live, then what do you do with those that aren't "social" and pose a threat? Answer without using my money to pay for the solution, or without any state/federal/other funding.
What's wrong with eating cats, parakeets, aborted babies of any kind, any thing that we want? Pretty stupid story.
There is nothing I would die for faster than my three dogs – or your dog or anyone's dog – I will not speak to anyone who has ever eaten dog and I would consider any country where dogs are eaten to be barbaric and unworthy of trade with the US or me or my children.
Friend of mine bought a puppy. Said he got it just in case of hard times. Named it Yummy.
eating dogs is absolutely disgusting
It really depends on the seasoning...
Discounting emotion, I can't think of any logical reason why it is wrong to eat a dog, but it is not wrong to eat a cow or a pig or a lamb. Americans love dogs and don't want to see them treated like other animals... and collectively we can pass laws that we like. We can't force our love of dogs on the rest of the world, though.
Someone asking "Honey, would you pick up some pet food on your way home?" has a totally different meaning there it seems.
There are more hits on this article than there are in any political election article. Hence, the corrupt gov't.
In my opinion, killing any animal for food and/or self defense (including pest control) is absolutely fine and we should be thankful to these creatures and the nature for feeding us. What I condemn is killing or torturing them in the name of fun, entertainment (rodeo, hunting games), luxurious outlets (ivory, leather).
All seem to be the trappings for the citizens of a developed and "civilized" country such as United States.
I tell you what, and I surprise myself for saying this, but I think I'd lay down my life for my dog. I love her that much.
I love dogs too, but that is a bit much.
A guy dove in and fought a gator for his dog last year, and he won. Nobody will fight a gator for a goat or pig.
Eating dog meat is not my cup of tea and I do not support it. What I must ask however is why people are not indignant about the way they use giant hooks pushed through a dog's upper jaw and then throw them alive into the sea for shark bait?
America is no more civilised than China however as it one of the few (The only western country) countries that kills people to show that killing people is wrong. Take a look at the conditions on death rows around the country and you will see that America treats people worse than most countries treat animals. To make matter worse the USA has murdered many innocent people in the death chambers.
I don't think America murders innocent people in death chambers. It's true that we need to get rid of the death penalty, and that some innocent people have died accused of crimes they didn't commit, but I don't think you can extrapolate to a country of 300 million people and indict them all on the basis of a few cases.
we don't eat mammals that can eat other mammals. it is plain unhealthy not to mention gross. stick to non carnivores
Chicken eat worms and bugs. That OK?
Really....you cannot think of one animal that Americans consume that feeds off other mammals? Really?!?!?!
Chicken is not "Mammal" and neither are bugs and worms.
I don't like pork, partly because I think pigs know we are raising them for food and hate us for it. They are too smart to eat. It feels wrong. Chickens, on the other hand, are so stupid they deserve a quick and delicious death.
Pigs are mammals and pigs eat meat, and will even eat other pigs which also makes them a cannibal.
When the world dies and humans have nothing left but guns and fear, what would you rather eat.....the family dog, or the obnoxious middle sister?
If you answered dog, then you are not above eating them. If you anwered sister, than you are crazy sick and need help.
Since you used my "Name". I'd eat the dog and am not opposed to it. I've been all over the world and have experienced how other cultures live. I'm not going to judge based on what I don't know. However, I am not opposed to cultures enjoying the same freedoms we have in the US, to include the expectation that other countries don't meddle in our internal affairs. Think of the money we could save if we ate dogs over here instead of the complex no kill shelter requirement to try and save what could be on Monday's menu. Cheaper and more profitable to eat them. You probably wouldn't think twice if it was a steak on a plate. Most people don't have an issue eating a cow, but I bet they'd have a hard time if they knew they pet it while it was alive at a zoo or farm.
I think dogs taste like pork. But the have a tougher texture. You most definitely need to tenderize them. Nothing like a big dog stew for a wedding, and some tender puppy paw meat kabobs.. mmmmmmmmm. I love it. The best part of eating dogs is they are a nutrious meal fortified with all the essential vitamins and minerals. Look up dog recipes.. they are all over the net. In China St. Bernards are referred to as the Big Dumb Ones. They make great drumsticks.. extra crispy or Cagun style!!! yum yum eat um up!!!
Cool, this ought to get the non-vegetarians thinking. Why reserve your slaughtering of animals to certain species? How is eating a dog moral decrepitude when eating a cow/chicken is not?
Because dogs are emotionally very much advanced as people are, there ya go. A cow ain't.
hey billy bob, cows are considered religiously SACRED...yes sacred in india...please don't try to push your beliefs on others.
Dogs are "more emotionally advanced" than a cow? Really? I'd love to see some actual scientific evidence of that.
now this board has turned into a vegetarian vs. carnivore battle..nice. but how can you eat that beautiful artichoke heart? it's a living being!!!
there is nothing wrong with it. Dog's are animals just like cows and pigs and chickens. just because some people have attached themselves mentally to dog's doesn't mean every should. i personally wouldn't choose to eat dog meat but i'm not saying it shouldn't be done
And we spent how many billions of $$ and lost how many American lives definding this country?
re: meat is meat no matter what 'animal' it comes from.
As the cannibal said as he was stirring the boiling pot, " If God hadn't wanted us to eat missionaries He wouldn't have made them taste so good."
Here is what is wrong with eating meat ....
Albert Einstein said:" Nothing will benefit human health and increase chances for life on earth as much as the evolution to a vegetarian diet. If a man aspires to a rightious life his first act of abstinence is from injury to animals.
Leanardo Da Vinci :"I, from an early age have abjured the eating of meat and the time will come when men will look upon the murder of animals as they now look upon the murder of men."
Shopenhauer: "Compssion for animals is intimately connected with goodness of character and it may be confidently asserted that he who is cruel to animals cannot be a good man."
Leo Tolstoy: " A man can live and be healthy without killing animals for food; therefore, if he eats meat, he participates in taking animal life merely for the sake of his appetite and to act so is immoral."
This is a very complex issue, I think. I tried to walk a fine line for many years between feeling compassion towards animals and doing what my biology tells me to do, i.e. sustaining myself with meat. After being a vegetarian for 7 years I became very sick and was told to eat meat. Now I eat meat about once every two weeks but I follow certain guidelines. It has to be humanely raised (even though I understand that it doesn't always mean that the animals was indeed humanely raised). It cannot be something like fois gras or veal or any other kind of product that is known come from animals raised by extremely cruel methods. I don't eat pigs since I feel that that animal is just too intelligent for me to feel at peace with consuming it. I would never eat any companion animals, including horses, or endangered animals. I know it's all subjective but I think the guideline for me is to use my conscience while keeping in mind that it is also true that creatures eating each other is just part of life. What I don't like, however, is the attitude of people who simply say "hey, if it tastes good, I don't care where it comes from." You should always care. You don't have to be extreme but it doesn't mean that you should silence your compassion completely, desensitize yourself to animal suffering, put it out of your mind and stop being discerning about what you consume. The world is difficult and complicated and in the world of shades of grade one needs to keep to the middle of the spectrum. It's not easy and at times you will end up being a hypocrite, but it's better than becoming an uncompromising radical or an uncaring simpleton.
same BS as usual, if the koreans wants to eat dog meat is their problem if you don't , just don't do it,
care for your self and let the other do what ever they want, stop beeing the world police
is called FREEDOM
For those of you who argue that there's no difference between a cow, pig or dog, because they're all animals, or as some have put it, "meat". You need to remember one thing....
Humans are animals too.
Right, but no one is arguing in favor of cannibalism...just against being a carnivore that confuses his or her chosen diet for a moral imperative.
Refusing to make a distinction between animals, makes the argument that people should be eaten too. There is a difference between predator and prey animals, as well as animals raised for companionship and those raised as livestock. Personally I don't think there's enough of a difference to choose to eat meat, myself, but for those who Do eat animal products, the distinction can and should be made.
Cannibals die of Kuru
From eating the brain not the meat.
That's it, I'm becoming a vegetarian.
Great decision!
I like Reese Cups!!!!!!!!!!
Dogs have personalities and are intelligent ,more so than cows and pigs, I am farmer, and it's obvious that dogs are smarter but with cute personalities, and they love you unconditionally, THAT"S WHY WE SHOULD NOT EAT DOG!! WHAT THE HELL?
There are smart dogs and there a dumb dogs
I don't see how you could miss the personalities of pigs and cows.
On the upside , when the pig is slaughtered that makes room for a new cute little puppy...I mean piglet.
Strictly an ego issue. Get over yourself and realize not everyone does the same thing.
i really dont see the big deal. im not the one eatn it. these people have been doin this forever. they are making use of what they have instead of letting them run wild and starve in the streets or attack people. i love dogs, but im not the one to deny someone else of their cultural rights just because i was raised differently. and have a field day with my capitalization, please
Who cares. Eat a dog. It's meat.
who cares eat that fucktard Emily & Jeffrey, its only meat.
People are really emotional about this
nothing wrong, i suppose, with eating meat (of any kind) – it's the way they are treated before the eating that matters! that is the important issue here.
Dogs are the only animal on planet earth that have a genetic predisposition to human companionship. Through thousands of years of selective breeding, dogs have been genetically altered to truly be "man's best friend."
To eat them, to eat something that we created to serve and love us, is cruel. Dogs were never bred to be food, they were bred to serve, you don't eat servants, and unlike horse meat, this should be a generally accepted rule the world over.
Ben, some of these dogs were actually bred as food and don't expect to be pets. It's just really strange.
All dogs, even dogs "bred" for food, have a need from genetic manipulation for humans. Dogs are bred to serve, and to then say oh but some are bred for food is disingenuous. Those food dogs were still bred from serving dogs, and still have that same urge to serve.
It's still morally wrong on a human level for a master to take advantage of a servant in such a way.
I think everyone going crazy about this is freaking awesome. The same people who don't want dogs to be eaten, are probably the same people that are saying we need to solve world hunger. Um.....I think we solve one with the other. I have had dog, being stationed in South Korea and really it wasn't that bad. Plus here's an idea, think about the almighty dog as a stand in for old fashioned beef. Thanks to all you people who require 42oz steaks, the farmers inject these cattle with BGH and folks like me are allergic to the hormone and can't eat beef. So, IMHO, no problem with this practice at all.
It's not something we can do anything about, and maybe not anything we SHOULD do anything about. It's just really weird to think about it: dog slaughter. Slaughterhouses and and meat packing plants for Fidos. Assembly lines, big piles of paws and tails and skins. Ladies in white suits sorting out the choice cuts and boxes going down conveyers into the freezers. The dog meat section at the supermarket, and moms looking for a nice roast, man, is this a strange world or what?
meat is meat and man's gotta eat
eat NOW that fucktard motelhell its only meat.
We can feed a lot more people with crops than with meat. We could use a fraction of the land that we use for raising animals, and feed the world.
ricky, google motel hell before you just wank out that same comment again.
i rather google yr shithole i may find some brains in there u dickhead
NO ONE has to eat meat. Especially not our precious companion canines,you phuktard!! Perhaps some should broil you and serve you up.
You are an idiot! We are carnivores. It is called survival of the fittest. When you get hungry, you eat. Read Darwin. And as broiling people, Hitler already did that to my family. So you want to sit down with me for some BBQ paws and baby seal?
I know it sound a bit melodramatic, but, in my opinion, the reason we shouldn't eat dog is simply out of respect for the bond in which man and canine forged over the last 40,000 years or so. There are anthropological studies that propose that, without the semi-domestication of wolves as hunting companions in our hunter-gatherer days, it is quite possible that we might have never grown at the rate in which we did. Without that particular bond, man might not have developed the hunting skills necessary to take us out of that chapter in our history. Second, I do believe that there is a very distinct line between predator animals and prey animals. By and large, we eat prey animals. I think we should respect that line. There is more than enough food out there, we don't need to eat dogs (before you light up on me, those that eat dog are not the poor and destitute. If you can afford dog, you can afford chicken). As a human race, they have been truly our closest animal companions.
I hope the writer is reincarnated as a dog living in Korea.
and you as a cow in the US...
oh yes, b/c obviously he'll remember being a human and writing that post. Judge not lest ye be judged yourself!
eat more cocks.
There's nothing wrong with eating dogs – so long as you don't do it in my country. At least if you can justify eating pigs, you can justify eating dogs – but we don't eat dogs here – so you can't either – whoever you are.
Several people mention the difference between livestock such as cows, pigs etc and "companion" animals such as dogs and cats, but that isn't really even an issue here. These dogs are raised as livestock, for the express purpose of being eaten. The only difference is that we keep dogs as pets. But people keep pigs and chickens as pets as well, and nobody gets squeamish about eating those animals. The only reason we find it so repugnant to eat dog meat is because we don't traditionally eat it in this country. It's exactly the same as our moral outrage towards the French for having the unmitigated gall to eat horse meat, and it comes from our love for those animals. That's fine, but there really isn't any purely moral reason not to eat dog or horse or cat or any of the other bizarre meats people of any number of cultures eat all around the world.
And you know what? I'm just going to go ahead and say it. Boshintang is delicious. I've eaten it, and I don't feel bad about it, nor will I ever. If I hadn't eaten that particular portion of dead dog meat, someone else would have.
Actually a lot of the dogs are picked up off the street as strays. Not, raised on farms. Also, whether or not the dog has been raised on a farm has nothing to do with the resulting 'product'. A dog is a dog. You'd need tens of thousands of years to remove the traits that we have selective bred into them, many of which come from their wolf ancestors so it may not be possible to breed those companion traits out of them at all.
Dogs are intelligent animals, bred to form emotional bonds with human beings and be their protectors and companions. Not food.
We should not be outraged by the fact that dogs are being eaten. In some countries they think it is outrages that we eat cows. We should be outraged that the animals that are giving their lives so we can eat are being treated cruelly. There are all sorts of cruel images and videos out there that depict cruelty to both dogs and cows.
Cows don't curl up to you on a winter night. Chickens don't warn you when the bridge is washed out. That's the difference.
Aren't the roosters used as the alarm clocks in the morning?
Chickens won't tear up an intruder who breaks in on your wife when you are gone(you need geese for that). Junkyards don't have signs saying BEWARE OF THE COW. However, they do make chickens fight to the death in arenas when they can't get dogs.
My pig pulled Timmy out of a well when he fell down it.
My friend Bruce says Dogs are friends not food! But seriously... you should not eat dogs. They are domesticated to protect us, to be loyal friends, and for companionship. There is somethings you just shouldn't eat in this world and dogs are one of them enough said.
I once ate mountain lion. Very good tender meat. One should try some before any conclusion.
top of the food chain, baby!
Please tell me when this article is removed. I'll come back to the computer when I stop vomiting.
Now I'm not saying I'm for eating dog, but who are we to say other cultures can't? People in India don't eat cows, do they try to force us to do the same? No, because that culture doesn't think it's better than everyone else. This country makes me sick. A few of you cited that the dogs are strangled, electrocuted, so on and so forth. There is much worse going on right here in our own country, but we choose to turn a blind eye to it. So stop being so judgemental... who knows, when society collapses Rover might not look so disgusting to you when your starving!
It's called evolution. Wearing clothes, bathing, cannibalism, living in a semii-lawful society, etc. etc. I don't know what more I can say other than this is one of those articles where common sense goes out the window ... there is a reason they are called "man's best friend".
It's not the eating of the dog that is the sick part (though it's not something I would ever do since I LOVE dogs ALIVE). Its the cruelty involved in the process of that meat. I remember awhile back I saw pictures of dogs ready for slaughter in an Asian country and their front legs were tied behind their backs. That can't be very comfortable for man's best friend. And no, I don't eat pigs or cows but I do kick myself when I occasionally eat a bird (chicken or turkey, no wild birds for me)
it just is. K-9's and humans have a bond. We domesticated them so we have a responsibility to them. This also goes for felines.
Sorry for those people advocating dog food as okay. They obviously have never loved a faithful, loving dog or anything else. Why don't these dog flesh eaters cage and raise mice, rats, or simlar types of vermine? Seems that would be more to their taste. Tell China and Korea to stop lying about not eating dog any longer. It's the only reason I refuse to travel to these areas and I wish everyone would refuse to go to such barbaric places. Yes I am American and we don't eat dog !!!! Why don't these people rise up in their own counry and protest and stop it? JoeW makes sense.
I loved South Korea. Would go back in a heart beat!! Rats are too chewy and mice just aren't very filling. I am sure there is a starving family in your neigbborhood that would be more than happy to eat your dog for you.
We euthanize millions of pounds of food every year in the shelters. Hunger in the United States could be solved if all the unwanted animals were used to feed people.
like, seriously? it's the ONLY reason you won't even visit those countries?? um... wow.
There's a place for all of God's furry critters.....right next to the taters and gravy. You'd probably eat it if it was on a plate and all you saw was a steak. Most people I know have an issue eating a steak if they knew it came from a steer they had pet.
Directed to blah... in other countries who don't eat cows, they do not curl up, pet, and lye down in their bed with them
Meat is meat is meat. Honestly, the only reason I'm not looking for someone to feed me a big fat juicy tiger steak right now is because I wouldn't want to eat an endangered animal.
do us all a favor & go eat yr momma u fucktard
How would that help anyone? It's too late to prevent me from being born, and there are better forms of punishment for bringing me into the world. Think your ideas through a little better next time plox, kthx.
the consumption of any carnivore is wasteful from a strictly ecological perspective.
"Soilent Green is made of People !"
Wow... Let's toss the idea out there and act like it shouldn't be any big deal with the old adage "Hey, Everybody else is doing it". Hey Ms. Lodish, if all my friends are doing something stupid or immoral, does that make it okay for me to do it? What's next Ms. Lodish? Babies given up for adoption? After all, they're just crowding up a lot of space that could be used for more important things AND their sacrifice would benefit those who are starving. After all, you could "Justify" this argument by telling some heart-wrenching stories of some of those kids that are approaching the age of 18 and have never been adopted. You are welcome to move to a place that serves dog on the menu if you really feel that's the best practice. I'm tired of people like you trying to convince Americans that we should adopt other countries practices while trying to justify it by presenting how it will solve problems here. I think we should all chip in and pay your airfare and relocation fees to help you move to a place like this that you admire so much. By the way, if they are doing such a great job there, why haven't you moved there yet? Ooh, maybe because you have it so much better here in America?? I love it when people like this or our wonderful movie stars want to praise people like Hugo Chavez for the way they run things, yet I never see them pack up and move to those wonderful places that they just can't praise enough. Why is that? Hmm... If you don't like the fact that we haven't been using dogs as livestock here since this country gained its Independence, then move somewhere that does. Stop trying to "Indoctrinate" us. People like you love to do things like this, little by little, making it sound like such a great idea. Then, eventually, we are just like all the other countries out there and we are no longer exceptional or stand out as an example for others to follow or strive to be like. I personally love this country because we are exceptional, we are the good guys and so many others before us “Sacrificed” so much (including their own lives) to make us who we are (regardless of the select few idiots who try to make all the rules). WE DON’T EAT DOGS IN AMERICA !!! Move if you don’t like it.
Any animal species that has eaten humans should not be eaten by us. It is indirect cannibalism. Eg: Sharks, Crocodiles, Tigers (other man eating feline and canines), Pythons, and of course Dinosaurs.
CNN, seriously, of all the news in the world why did you even post garbage like this? I understand the need for journalists to make people think and to have people express emotion over what they write but seriously to write an article that is so useless and serves no other purpose than to make people bicker among each other....its just sad CNN. I have come to accept the majority of your journalists are idiots.
as ludicrous as this article is. emily has done her job...get people riled up.
Are all Asian men so bad in bed that they think every taboo or morally questionable food will give them "stamina"?
You like dogs? Sorry, asian men are bad in bed.
You like Tigers? Sorry, asian men are bad in bed
You like bears? Sorry, asian men are bad in bed
You like Rhinos? Sorry, asian men are bad in bad
Love monkeys, apes and gorillas? Sorry, asian men are bad in bed
Love Amur Leopards? Sorry, asian men are bad in bed.
Love elephants? Sorry, asian men are bad in bed
I am tired of hearing of animals I enjoy and care about being slaughtered by poachers due to Asian men and their "inabilities"
When I ate out your mom last night she wasn't complaining.
Probably out of pity for your inability to do it right, you see my mom is a really nice person
Hey BCK why don't I prove that asian's are not bad in bed by doing your wife or gf? Please don't be arrogant and follow stereotypes.
Sorry dude but the multibillion dollar black market industry in asia based around devouring rare animals genitals so asian men can do better in bed doesn't exist anywhere else on earth, only asia. Why is that? I wonder?
Where's my eye roll emoticon? Like no woman eats meat eh? Oh that's right, thy don't eat for sexual purposes they just wear make-up, get themselves cut up with plastic surgeries, wear FURS, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. Women have their hangups too so lets not play self righteous moralizer mkay?
women aren't rolling Amur Tiger gall bladder on their face as makeup, this is about crazy animal cruelty and wild animals hunted to extinction due to asian men and their "problems" …. the rest of the world just uses viagra! leave the tigers alone!
Actually BCK, women's make ups and perfumes contain lots of ingredients derived from animals.
they're only bad in bed because the ones you sleep with can't get access to these magical ingredients under your watchful eye
This reminds me of the Guinea Pig Festival in Huacho, Peru. Guinea Pigs are dressed up in cute little costumes and paraded through town, then at the end of the parade they are prepared and eaten. Approximately 65million are eaten in Peru each year.
I have eatten dogs many times, although it is not my favorite dish and is somewhat tough unless the the dog is tenderized (beaten). Also they usually serve it too salty for my taste
We eat Bambi – don't we? How is that different from dog?
Bambi is a prey animal. We didn't breed dogs to be our prey, we bred them to be our companions. We have evolved dogs to be our partners in life. You don't eat your partner (unless you're a freak). How many stories of dogs saving our lives do you need to hear? How many stories of dogs helping us do you need to hear? They are a caliber above ordinary food animals. That has ALWAYS been the unspoken deal between man and dog: I'll hunt for you, protect you, sniff out your drugs and land-mines and even be your eyes for you and in exchange, you'll feed me, shelter me, love me and not eat me.
mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, ....... tasty.
I had dog meat as a child in Korea. They were delicious. I miss them. Things are brought to life to serve a purpose. When a dog is raised as a pet, it's a companion. When a dog is raised to be meat. It's just meat. Anywhere along the food chain, killing happens. In the US, people hurt deers and mooses. I adore deers and mooses, but I know I shouldn't judge people for their culture difference. Is there any thing wrong eating a piece of venison?
I could never approve of eating another being that could be a companion. Dogs have evolved beyond the canine pack mentality to anticipate, have remorse and be able to detect disease and doom.
The Chinese culture does not put a high value on the multitude of human life...so it comes as no surprise that they would not value canine life, or feline for that matter, either.
Dogs rule! Chinese dog meat market sux!
You know, I've seen all kinds of animals express remorse. Even fish express remorse if their close fish friend dies, and can go into a kind of depressed state. All beings can be companions.
The sooner people realize this part of nature, the sooner we will respect our food – not only as sustenance but as life and beings we shared time with on this Earth.
DOG IS GOOD TO EAT !!!!!!!!! MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
Hell yeah!!!
not as good as yr fucken momma though
Biased article is biased.
One of the worst articles I've read on cnn, I thought news was meant to be fact based not writers-opinion based.
It's a fact that people have opinions. It's also a fact that peoples' opinions affect their behavior and their emotional reactions to other peoples' behavior.
Stuff humans don't eat: sloths and orangutans and fruit-bats and stoats!!
Dogs can be meat just like pigs, if you disagree then I would suggest you not eat dogs. This is hard for some people to swallow, but animals don't have inherent rights. When you make eating dogs illegal, you are potentially starving people and possibly putting them in danger (packs of feral dogs are not uncommon).
Dogs were not bred to be eaten. Dogs were bred and selected because of their companionship with humans and for all of the services they provide us. Farm animals are bred to feed us, whether it be for their meat or eggs or milk. Believe it or not, there is an animal hierarchy in the eyes of man. We value a dog's life more (and are less likely to eat it) than we do a cow's, just as a cat is more important to us than a squirrel.
Not in China we don't. Man is not a homogenous absolute; man is a series of diverse individuals with varied backgrounds and ancestry.
So in China you don't value dogs. It is fairly obvious that in China, the Chinese largely don't value each other either. Man has created an unspoken agreement with dogs that honestly, dogs do a better job of holding up than men do. China just proves that.
Why would you name yourself common sense and be soo stupid? The dogs in this article are farmed meat dogs, not the dogs you see everyday in shelters or on tv. They are created to be eaten, like emu, cow, chicken, just like it's been for hundreds of years. China sbeen eating dog before America became a country so this hierachy of meat is bullshit. The hierachy of meat is based on cost verse taste, and you wouldn't understand because your not chinese nor korean so you didn't know it taste like lamb. By the way common sense refers to an action that does not require preprogramming; in this case if i'm hungry i'm going to eat it, such as a dog! That's common sense. dumb ass!
Just because you value dogs more than cows doesn't mean that everyone in the world does. In fact, comparing a dog to a cow would be offensive to many in India. Newsflash, your culture is not inherently better than anyone elses.
Why don't those Korean man cut their own penises and eat them for supper? It must make a very good aphordisiac.
This people need to look at science and recognize that the belief in dog meat raising stamina is bologne.
No, I rather eat dog. Though, you are more than welcome to cut your dick and eat it =)
So you would prefer someone didn't cut your dick off and ate it....WEIRD, I bet animals of all kinds feel the same way.
I don't know why im surprised by the "dog lovers" going crazy on here about it being "morally" wrong to eat dog meat. comparing it to cannibalism? You do realize 3-4 million companion animals are destroyed every year in the US right? at least the Koreans are eating the meat and not just burning/burying it. The peta/aspca nazis out there are the biggest hypocrites in this country. want to stop "pet" abuse? stop owning them. every time you "rescue" one from the shelter you contribute to the problem. you think whoever dumped the animal there didn't turn around and buy a puppy 2 weeks later lol. shelters are only enabling the problem .the only way to stop animal abuse/neglect is to ban the ownership of them....besides ive tried dog meat. better than monkey but i wouldn't go out of the way to eat it again. although it would be fun to walk through an ASPCA fund raiser chewing on a dog kebab.
The overabundance of dogs in this country is part and parcel of the same thinking that the Asians are using to justify eating dogs. Careless breeders who consider the dogs as a product or a path to money and care little about the dog are what is causing so many to be destroyed. If you cannot understand what a dog can bring to your life other than a few dollars or a source of food then I pity you.
You pity me? how sweet...but im not the one who NEEDS a companion animal to make my life "complete" and your right about puppy mills etc.. but my point is if there were no consumers there would be no market. you "dog lovers" are the root cause of the problem. your just to blind or delusional to see it.
You cant go and just eat your pet, its wrong, its like saying if you can eat your dog, i can go eat my neighbor, where is this right, dogs are a domesticated animal, there is no reason to be eating them
The Native Americans raised dogs as a meat source regularly. It has not historically been just China.
you have no idea what you are talking about moron.
Oh yes I do... MORON.... I'm a history teacher!!
Sorry D...
Aubrie is correct. Do your research. Or can you read?
I wouldn't eat dog meat because it just sounds disgusting. However, if people want to, more power to them. Anyone that complains about eating dog meat but eats beef, chicken, fish, or any other sort of meat is a hypocrite.
There is a huge difference. You'd know this if you ever had a dog as a companion. They are a much higher order animal than a simple food animal. Perhaps that was due to humans breeding them this way however, that is the state of affairs and as such, treating them any other way that that for which they were bred and evolved by us is tantamount to betrayal. Dogs, are not and have not been for a few centuries now, a simple animal. They are a family member. There is absolutely no contesting the fact that a dog without a home isn't just another dog but an orphan without a family. Would you eat an orphan?
looks like someone has never lived on a farm. ignorance is awesome.
Oh, and another thing....all you dog lovers that shop at Walmart and Target...you are continuing to buy the crap that supports the cultures that kills and eats dogs.
Don't like it then don't support it.
Omg!... the look on this dogs face makes me want to cry!.. I never in a million years would ever consider eating a dog or cat!. Yes, in "OTHER" countries.. people do alot of revolting things such as eating cats..dogs..rats..bats..etc... But here in the states.. your funky ass would be shot for sure!.. Dogs are companions as well as cats!.. They have unconditional love to give and always looking for your attention. I will tell you this, don't ever park your ass next to mine and ask for some "FRIED LAB".... I will give you a 10 second start before I pop a cap in your ASS!......The same goes with horse meat!..Uh, don't think so....I may give you a 15 second start!......
so by your logic eating certain animals should be punishable by death? sounds like the Taliban..your "morality" is that a dogs life is more important than a humans? all the issues and tragedies in the world and you choose this issue to become violent over? BTW wanna be tough guy, your not the only one armed and i will guarantee some one is faster better stronger than you. careful making threats like "i would give them 10 sec" . in 10 seconds i can put 20 rounds center mass on you dumb a$$. and then 2 in your mutt for the fun of it
"they have unconditional love to give" Right ... as long as you hold up your end of the deal the feed them unconditionally, shelter them unconditionally, etc. Stop feeding a dog and tell me how long that love lasts before it tries to eat your leg off?
What is right? What is wrong? Who first looked at the sky and said "blue" instead of "red"? In the animal kingdom predators hunt prey because they want to eat them. But sometimes, things go wrong and the prey either gets away, or maybe even kills the Predator. I'm reminded of the episode of Seinfeld where Kramer uses butter as tanning lotion and Newman is chasing him around with a knife and fork. So to all of you who compare it to eating people let me say this. If your dog is of the same importance or mor than your child, then eat the baby. But remember they are higher in cholesterol. I'm ok with eating small yappie type dogs as they p!$$ me off...but that's me. Oh and to those of you wondering what it tastes like, it varies from breed to breed. I had some when in China that tasted similar to lamb, but my chinese is bad and I couldn't understand the breed when I asked.
I like mine doggie style....
What was the point of this article? No valid points were made. It's almost as though she became tired and stopped writing it half way through. Afraid to answer that question herself?
Am, there is no answer. There's no question. It's just an article that says hey, did you know that some Asian countries eat dog meat? Mister Brain's Faggot's is a popular food in England, so there's no accounting for taste.
She was leaving the question open to elicit discussion. Duh.
I agree with you Aminal Lover. WTF?
I fully believe in respecting other cultures BUT when it comes to the welfare of animals cultural rights be damned. By people's statements since they do it in other countries it must be okay. Have any of you seen how they skin these dogs? The do it with the dogs ALIVE!!!! Since that is done in China because they think it makes the meat better does that make it okayOnce they skin them ALIVE!!!! How is that right in anyone's mind??? Dogs give us love and affectin and any creature able to give and receive love should not be eaten...pigs, cows, etc....and yes, I am a vegetarian and any animal products I eat only comes from well run, safe farms (milk, eggs).
The problem isn't so much dogs as the reasoning; according to the article men eat dogmeat to "help stamina"...we all know what that means. Such superstitious idiocy is a big reason why there is such a market for the meat and other...parts...of species that are actually endangered. There is harmless backwards and not-so-harmless backwards...
Dogs have been bred for thousands of years to be our partners in life and work. Many of their qualities, loyalty, trust, generosity of spirit, are qualities to which we humans aspire and often fail to meet. In dogs, we are able see the idealized self that we would like to be. So, in turning this relationship into one of devaluing, emotionless commerce, where thousands of years of trust, bonding and partnership results in one of the partners being viewed as an object worth only the value of its meat, we devalue our compassion, our insights, and ourselves as well.
Beautifully said!
a narrow point of view, no matter how well said, is still a narrow point of view.
i love animals..........they are delicious
As a dog lover it breaks my heart to see that picture and I would refuse to watch the slaughter of dogs or eating them. Having said that it is mainly a cultural thing and the only people who can morally object to this are vegetarians. Anyone who eats meat can't really object to this on moral grounds.
let people eat whatever they want, but the only wrong things most of the time is the condition the animals are kept in before slaughter lol. ate bear meat before, both are smart animals, so what is the diff?
I am hungry and I would eat the hell out of dog, Though i would not slaughter it myself, I love dogs too much. Its just the social stigma.
Why is eating a dog different than a pig... cow deer or any other animal? Just because they are cute?
If you leave your emotions out of it, steamed paws sound really good! I will try any kind of meat. I am a carnivore. Give me one good logical reason that it is not ok to eat dogs when we eat every other animal on Earth. I would definitly try it at least once. All the animal lovers stop your nonsense!
Hey, here's a solution – don't eat meat period! Meat production is an environmental train-wreak and a moral minefield. Skip it.
That is just a stupid comment. Go eat a leaf!
At some point, there is a limit to "cultural relativism." At some point, a "live and let live" and "it's all good" mentality doesn't work. In some countries, it's o.k. to dress Americans in orange jumpsuits and lop their heads off. In other countries, you can stone women to death because they were raped. In other countries, you can sell your 9-year-old into the sex trade. It's o.k. to consider these practices barbaric. It's o.k. to think of whaling or dog-eating as barbaric as well and to be a proponent for our culture's moral standards. (You can also be a proponent for moral advancement at home as well.) If you are an American and accept the eating of dogs, you have lost your moral compass and you need to come home. If you are considering immigrating to America and you eat dogs, please know that if you eat dogs in America you will be lucky if the police arrest you and can protect you.
This the the dumbest arguement yet. So you believe that other peoples cultures are wrong and immoral because you don't live that way. I would come over to your house, cook your dog and then serve it to the family and you would not know the difference between that meat and white chicken meat. Know tour facts!
Oh you forgot to mention about how America invaded other countries with "suspicions" of weapons of mass destruction. BUT IT IS OK! RIGHT? Dude you need to realized that people and animals are different.( well at times some human's are like animals, but that is besides the point) By the way, I know a good place that sells dog meat in AMERICA. Come to downtown LA and I shall take you there
Only in Asia you will find low level "humans" who will actually do that. As a matter of fact, the dogs they eat, are much smarter that them. It's a shame that we share a planet with these morons.
Man made a pact with dogs thousands of years ago. We care for them and provide food and they protect us, hunt for us, and give us companionship. It is morally repugnant to raise and slaughter dogs for meat. Sorry to say but Asians are the worst offenders in this as well as shark finning and over fishing. Korea needs to be shamed by others to get them to stop. This is a concept all Asians understand. To be shamed is worse than death for them.
I don't think that dog that killed my baby sister was part of that pact... Besides, who are you to judge or shame us? No wonder Asian is going beat the US economy soon. (14 trillion dollar debt - not a good sign) Also, people here have illegal dog fights? Think before you write because honestly you sound like a 15 year old arrogant jerk.
Well this is repeated over and over again here but eating dogs is eating cats is eating pigs is.......on and on. It's all the same. Remember when you slam down that pork rind, you are eating the closest thing to human flesh. If you lived on a farm, pigs are just as intelligent, friendly, bonding as any dog or cat. I'm a meat eater but at least i'm not so stupid as to not understand that the meat I am eating comes from something that was once living. Heaven forbid humans figure out that plants can communicate one day............then the veggies will really be in a fix. People need to just respect what they are eating and where it comes from and then move on.
If I ever found someone doing this to a dog I would literally murder that person right where they stood.
Oh good... a psychopath.
Hey people, if u expired while walking friend Fido in a remote area, when hungery said friend would happily consume your MEAT.
Cut the crap people, eat a dog, eat a dolphin, eat a person! What if they might be smart? Hitler was smart look how that turned out. If the korean culture wants to eat their dogs then let's try to be alittle less culturally ignorant for once and except the difference in people from around the world.... But you love your dog, i'd love your dog even more covered in bar-b-q sauce. Half the world is starving, and instead of using this as an oppertunity to find ways to feed people, lets ruin their festivals and teach the world to be american so they can shit on everyone else....
Prior to reading this article, I had been considering buying a Kia. I will definitely NOT buy a Kia until I see an article that Korea has outlawed the consumption of dogs.
ZIPERHEADS will eat anything.
and dumbasses will say anything to troll. go take your meds.
IF YOU ARE HUNGRY ENOUGH, MAN WILL EAT JUST ABOUT ANYTHING TO SURVIVE.
not only would i eat dogmeat, I would feed some to my dog just for giggles.
Korean's, north or south, are the most despicable scumbags on earth.
Shouldn't you have "skin in the game" before you join? These people are the ones who will suffer the consequences of your decisions to ban the consumption of dogs. I guarantee you that the vast majority of those against the practice will fight to get it outlawed, but once they get their way, they will disappear and let the people impacted try to figure out all the problems they have caused. Unless you're living there and dealing with all the aftermath of your decision, then it's probably best if you stay out of it.....or do you want outsiders coming into your community telling you how you're going to live?
Maybe it's the solution to our economic problem.. Asia is booming, why? They have no "beef" with dog!!
Where's the beef?
well, i can't really think of any real reason other than...we don't like the idea of it. it doesn't stop me from having this feeling..i like dogs and don't like the idea of eating it, but..i suppose in another world.. well, if i had to come up with something i would say, there is some evidence dogs have actually evolved (as opposed to being bred more recently) to be with us. on an aesthetic level it seems a shame to eat the one species that has actually developed to living with us. not many can do that and survive
ourselves included..
these comments are hilarious...so many myopic perspectives. what one culture believes doesn't supersede others. if you believe so, you need to extricate your head from your anus. humans have been breeding and manipulating dogs for hundreds of years so that their chihuahuas look like rats and their shar-pei's faces looked like scrunched assholes...so sure, that's okey-dokey. eating them though? oh fuck, now you've crossed the line.
Not to mention turning around to mutilate them by nutering or spaying them. Cram a chip in them and cut off their tails or dew claws. Let's remove the claws so they don't scratch my couch, and then shove them in a small pen in all weather, or tie them to a tree while patting ourselves on the back because, "We love animals."
nothing tells your dog more that they're your best friend like cutting off their balls...
It depends on where you are from and what YOUR culture happens to be. We can only comment from our own personal perspective. Personally eating a dog is not my preference. No right or wrong here.
I'd sooner eat Wilfred.
The practice of eating dog in Korea is fading away. Most of them are elderly who grew up with dog as a folk medicine. The youth of Korea have not developed a taste for it yet and prefer a hot fresh Krispy Kreme instead. There are more dog fighting operations in the U.S. like Michael Vick was once associated with than dog farming operations in Korea. Add to that the greyhound racing industry that has several owners that kill or abandon the animals when they can no longer produce at the track despite greyhound rescue groups that are willing to come pick them up and take them off their hands. Add to that the dog breeders in states like Missouri that have lobbyists to keep state regulators passing puppy mill friendly legislation. Spent five years stationed in Korea and while I knew there were restaurants serving dog, I never saw it. The government made it illegal before the 88 Olympics. They were still there, fewer in number, and you had to know where to look. And it was much more expensive than beef because it was illegal, it was a folk medicine and it was more expensive per pound to raise than cows.
What's next, fresh human? In this day and age it is unbelieveable that people do not become vegatarians, all animals have consciousness, thoughts and feelings, and experience the same terror and torment and pain when they are about to be murdered, whether for meat of fur or any other reason. WAKE UP PEOPLE OF THE WORLD AND SHOW SOME COMPASSION!!!
See my post below about eating faggots.
Dogs are passionate, their existence is beyond t being our companion. They are our best friend. Will you eat your friends? Through out our human histories, they've rescued our life while we, humans, do not have the capability to do it. The news made me cry. Asian believes Karma and incarnation, I hope those dog eaters will have ill- fate in their next life.
'Will you eat your friends?' Just the ones with 'benefits,' honey. Arf arf.
Why is their no outcry over the cruel British practice of eating faggots? It must be stopped.
Here's a challenge to some of you: Raise a daughter or a son. Get them a puppy for their 5th birthday and raise it for a few years and make sure that your child has a strong emotional attachment to that pet.
Then, on their 12th birthday, you kill the dog in front of your child and make them eat a healthy serving of the pet's meat and finish that serving before they can eat their birthday cake and open their presents. Tell them that the gift you are giving them is the ability to transcend their emotions about Fido and that it is "not anti-social to eat" and then try and tell yourself that you are not a sociopathic @$$h0le and that what you are doing is not child abuse.
You can't. You know you can't. Please don't actually do this, it is sufficient just to think it through.
Likewise it is with our society. We have ALREADY developed an emotional attachment to dogs. We have NOT developed, as a society, this same emotional attachment to cows or pigs or fish. It is NOT wrong for people to get a visceral reaction to the photo at the top of this article, to get angry at the thought that the dog pictured there was on its way to be "harvested." Yes, it may be "intellectually inconsistent" that we feel this way for the dog and not for the pig and not for the cow in a similar picture, but it is what it is.
Stop it with your judgmental attitudes and looking-down-your-nose at those of us who hold this double-standard. Your calls for us to transcend our emotions and drop emotionally-based double standards are as wrong as serving the family pet at your daughter's 12th birthday party.
that is the stupidest morality story/asinine corollary. the additional closing remark of "stop with your judgmental attitudes" was extra ironic given your own narrow-minded perspective on the topic...telling another culture to observe your cultural mores.
I never in my comment told China to stop eating dogs. Read it again.
The article is about eating dogs in Seoul, not the US. It's not whether we should legalize it in the US, or what most Americans think if we did. So, given the criteria of the article concerning eating dogs in Korea, it's not anti-social behavior. These dogs are no different than cows in the US. Someone else is raising them for consumption and not as family pets. With that said, I have helped raise cattle that have been consumed, even though you do get attached to them. It's part of life, but does not make me sociopathic.
My point isn't that we are doing wrong by the dog, or doing wrong by the cow, or whatever. My point is that we are doing wrong by each other if we insist on declaring people WRONG (shame on you!) for holding a double standard regarding dogs, that we somehow are forcing people in Korea or China to abide by our cultural standards by voicing our visceral and emotional reactions to the photograph that starts the article.
My point is that the emotional reactions that people are having to this article and to this conversation are as predictable as the emotional reactions of a 12 year old girl being force-fed the family dog on her birthday. She is not WRONG to have these emotional reactions. Who is wrong is the parent who force-feeds her in the name of reason, in the name of helping her to transcend her emotions and her culturally-derived double standards.
I would never knowingly eat a dog, but in other countries that is just what they eat. Some countries also eat rats. Bottom line, meat is meat and I'm sure some animals we eat here other places wouldn't even consider eating.
Like Mike said, if you eat cows, pigs, fish, or chickens and you criticize others for eating dogs, then you're a hypocrite.
And don't give me that "well dogs are pets" argument, some people have do have pigs, fish, and even chickens as pets too you know.
No he is not a hypocrite he is an intelligent person who recognizes the distinct difference between dogs and animals that were made for food. who share no bond with mankind like dogs and cats.
Interesting and you conveniently leave out the part where I stated that some people have pigs, fish, and even chickens as pets too. Funny how all you people seem to want to impose your beliefs on everyone else and just because they don't do what you do, then THEY are the ones who are wrong.
No other animal on the face of this earth can establish a relationship with mankind like that of a dog. I truly believe God created dogs for a special reason and that is for companionship with human beings, a bond that no other animal can establish. It is for this reason that I think it is absolutely wrong to eat a dog, "Man's Best Friend".
Dogs are different from other animals. After all, they're called "man's best friend." They are loyal and have demonstrated love beyond what other animals are capable of. To eat them (except in a dire, dire survival situation) is disgusting. Shame on those who do it.
Horses should be off limits, too. Many former racehorses have sadly been auctioned off and ended up in trucks that go to slaughter houses (whether down in Texas or in Mexico). So their talent and dedication earned them nothing but a horrific and fear filled death – where they are forced to sense and watch other horses dying. And the barbaric way that's it done would curdle your blood.
If you consider any kind of animal charity contribution this year, look into ReRun (up in New Jersey) – they rehabilitate and find homes for former racehorses or other horses who would otherwise be needlessly killed.
If you Adopt your dogs fine, have your own opinion.
If you buy puppies and actually think eating dogs is bad your a raging hypocrite. In South Korea they eat dogs, in America 4 million dogs a year are slaughtered cuz Fat Idiots want there Fuzzy Wuzzy puppies. I'd love to buy a puppy but I can control myself enough to know that I can save a dogs life by using my brain when getting a dog instead of my emotion. Eating dogs aren't the problem, its anyone who buys a puppy. Pick up the slack for the sloths of this country, it will save a dogs life.
Honey, what are we having for dinner? That certainly taste good..
By the way honey, I have seen Rex all day?
Weird how they are up in arms about the dog meat but no mention of the dog sex trade. Underage dogs are being sold for sex.
We're all just atoms that were belched out of dying stars.
I feel sorry for you if it were that simple then we would all be the same, every living creature
Actually, it's true. A large number of elements form in stars and are spread through the galaxy when the stars go supernova. The initial cosmic dust, so to speak, formed into hydrogen (the first element) and then compressed into stars and went from there.
What that has to do with this argument, I'm not sure. We're definitely more than a sum of our parts.
i love hot dogs!
I can't look at them now.
A long time ago I tried to eat raccoon but couldn't, today I'd would never try to eat mans best friend for the same reason, I don't have too. I'm not saying I wouldn't, I'm just saying at this time I don't have too. If there were a need then yes but there's no need at this time.
Dogs and horses have been selectively bred over the centuries to TRUST and OBEY human beings. Even if these dogs are now being raised on a meat farm, they still come from thousands of years of selective breeding that has made them into the trusting and obedient animals that they are. That's why it's wrong to kill and eat them–it's a betrayal. We've bred them to be obedient and to see human beings as members of their pack or herd, and then we kill them like a wolf in sheep's clothing. Cows, pigs, chickens, etc. have been bred to be a little less fearful of humans and a little more docile than their wild cousins, but nowhere near the level of trust and obedience that we've bred into dogs and horses.
It has nothing to do with training. You could sit there and try to train a cow, a pig, a chicken and many other animals that are OK to eat and they could never be like a dog. Some of you people who think you are so smart really show your supreme ignorance many of the times just to push your own personal wacked out agenda.
Domestication does not = training, teaching an animal to do something is not the same of hundreds of years of breeding an animal to be mans best friend.
Exactly what I was going to say. I don't think we can sit here and tell a country what to do that's their own business but personally I could never do that because of all the reasons you stated, dogs instinctively trust us and look to us for care because we have made them that way.
And by TRUST and OBEY you mean we've essentially turned dogs (and cats) over the course of 1000 years into a dependent species who we neuter at will, and who could not survive in the wild due to our rearing.
Yes, which is why we have a responsibility to take care of them.
Really they are all the same? When was the last time a cow sent messages over enemy lines during a war...or sniffed out bombs in Vietnam....or found a survivor in a pile of rubble...or took down a criminal ready to shoot a police officer? Our companion animals are NOT meat sources. Neither are horses. I am HAPPY the west is influencing other parts of this world and creating ETHICAL cultures for animals to live in! Animal cruelty has no place on earth just like child abuse...there is No difference. Maybe those in favor of eating dogs and cats, should put THEMSELVES on the menu. So to speak, BE MY GUEST!
"I am HAPPY the west is influencing other parts of this world and creating ETHICAL cultures for animals to live in! "
Those are strong words but still from ONE of many perspectives. Can it really be deemed unethical to eat meat WE may feel should not be eaten? When was insert 'ethics' there has to be a right and wrong. It may gross us out but maybe it's just DIFFERENT and not wrong.
....sorry....I meant WHEN WE insert 'ethics'.....
Really? What in the # is wrong with this title? Have people lost there @D minds?
You can argue all day about what animal is smarter then another (pig, dog, etc), But what it comes down to is that all animals are a life. And IMO its wrong to take any life!!! End of story. Weather you have a dog as a pet or not its just wrong to take a life. You are putting yourself on a slippery slope, and become hypocritical, when you try to argue that killing a dog weather humane or inhumane is the issue when in the US we kill other animals for food, and a majority of those animals are not humanly cared for or slaughtered. You can watch movies such as "Food Inc.", "Korn Kings", "The Beautiful Truth", and more, just to get a glimpse at how horrible we treat animals even in the United States. Many people are are just oblivious to how poorly we even treat animals in the US. I believe that we need to educate ourselves and others around us, and not just talk about how wrong something is but to get off you ass and do something about it. Everyone makes their own choices and one person at a time you can make a difference. For instance you can choose to only buy organic, or grass-fed humanly treated meats, or become a vegan.
I believe in practicing what you preach. I am a VEGAN (A person who does not eat or use animal products). Not saying that everyone should become a Vegan its your own personal choice, but you really can't argue not to eat dog meat vs. other meat, when you are consuming meet that have been farmed and slathered humane or inhumane for human consumption.
I can understand in times of great strife, starvation, war, ets, a need to perhaps do this, but NOT NOW KOREA...YOU DO NOT NEED TO DO THIS
to everyone talking about eatting human flesh look up...KURU DZ...
There are many humans that are not as smart as dogs. There are many humans that act as wild as dogs with no remorse. Eat these people, not innocent dogs.
"In the country, they raise "meat dogs," also known as "junk dogs" and "lower-grade" dogs. But you don't become a "lower-grade" dog by flunking an IQ test. You're just born in the wrong place. Then you're slaughtered and fed to a man who thinks he's humane because he pampers a Golden Retriever that has half your brains."
true and sad.
I went to China where they eat dogs regularly. It is kind of an odd thing. I remember leaving our hotel one morning, we saw a few people on the street skinning a dog. The word on the street was that the dog had been hit by a car, so they were making the best of this unfortunate opportunity. Later that afternoon when we came back to the hotel, they were selling meals made from the dog meat to passersby.
Typically they have two "classes" of dogs: those you eat, and those you befriend as a companion and don't eat. Oftentimes, the dogs they choose for eating are farmed and harvested.
All this talk about eating them being wrong.... People have a problem eating dogs but what's less humane? Humanely killing a dog and butchering for consumption, OR.....
1. Nutering or spaying a dog against its will
2. Shoving a chip under its skin for identification
(Both forms of mutilation)
3. Tying it to a tree or putting it in a kennel with a minalistic shelter with no room to run
4. Drying its fur through shampoo and conditioners
5. Shaving it for our vanity, not a real need
6. Docking tails or clipping ears for vanity sake and because "That's what they do with that breed".
7. Keeping them confined to an apartment or house for hours on end without companionship
8. Dressing them up and making them do stupid tricks they would never do in nature
9. Feeding them unhealthy treats, table scraps, and letting them get overweight to the point of health issues.
The list goes on and on. Personally, I'd rather be put down than deal with life a great percentage of dogs are forced to live in your homes.
I can tell you right now that I would DEFINITELY rather be forcibly shampooed than murdered and eaten.
That made my day!! However, be careful what you wish for I watched a woman almost overdose an animal with medicated shampoo. As an animal trainer, I see more issues with people treating pets like members of the family and assigning human emotions and behaviors to their pets than anything. There's a distinct difference and many problems arise when people erase that line. This applies not only to behavioral issues, but at a physical level. What may be perceived as love and affection might actually be domination on the part of the animal.
You are nuts, and putting a rice-grain-sized chip under a dog's skin isn't mutilation.
Clipping ears is necessary? Bobbing tails is necessary? It's not mutilation? Chipping pets is necessary? Isn't that done because people can't be trusted to control their animals and is needed for identification purposes? If they can contain, and adequately protect them, then why's it necessary? it's mutilation. it's an altering of the animal when it's not medically necessary. Nutering occurs in nature? Spaying? Removing dew claws? What about declawing cats? Simply put, it's mutilation and there's no argument against it. However, if the government wanted to chip you, then can you say you don't have an issue with it? What's the difference? You have a social security number, but now you just have a chip embedded so your identity can't be stolen, employment can be verified and we can get rid of all the credit cards and such. It's not mutilation and for your protection right?
I agree with the tail docking, dew claw removal and ear surgeries but that is all. We spay and neuter dogs to prevent unwanted dogs who will be abandoned/neglected or murdered. As far as comparing neutering which is done under anesthesia with eating dogs is flawed. Neutering is done for the dogs and future dogs protection. It is done as pain free as possible and post op the animals are given pain killers. Do you know how they prepare the dogs for slaughter?? Are you really comparing a humane surgery ( I've had 16 major surgeries so I know post operative pain) with the brutal beating and torture then the subsequent skinning alive of the animal??? Get your facts first. Shampooing and drying may not be a dogs favorite pastime but I bet they'd take that over TORTURE anyday. I know I would.
To me this entire issue comes down to the process used. As horrible as many western slaughterhouses are there is not a common practice to brutally beat, torture and skin alive our cattle or pigs (personally, I do not eat any meat nor do I own leather products).
Just because our culture considers dogs taboo to eat doe not mean its morally or ethically wrong for another culture to think and act otherwise....Lets consider India and their practice of holding cows sacred. To us that's a silly and laughable thing, nyet we condemn another culture because they choose to eat an animal we hold "sacred" per se. There's a word for it, its called Hypocracy........We're a culture of hypcrytes...
so many comments, such little sense
- this article is not about china, just the photo caption, people
- there are obviously people in both china and korea that oppose dog-consumption (um, the animal rights activists?), so don't make generalizations about entire races/cultures, that's just dumb.
- i am a dog-lover/owner, but...please don't compare any situation concerning animals with that of abuse/mistreatment of humans. that's just plain rude & insulting to human victims of cruelty!
- in that same vein, comparing eating a dog to cannibalism? also rude to the humans!! (p.s., if you see a starving child going to slaughter a dog so he can have some much-needed nourishment, are you going to deny him or her that right?)
- *kind of* in the author's defense, she seemed to be asking a rhetorical question to challenge the reader, perhaps to re-examine how our own cultural norms alter the way we view others'..although it kind of backfired...
- as someone with close ties to several asian cultures, there are many tales circulating in asian countries about people who were afflicted with serious and/or chronic illnesses but made better after eating dog meat..im surprised that the article didn't expand on that point as it could provide an enhanced perspective on why there's still some people in those countries that seek dog-meat.
- this article provided absolutely no information/facts/background on which to even begin a thoughtful discussion. its really just a bunch of words thrown together to incite equally uninformed reactions from people
Then consider yourself insulted.
Animal abuse AND human abuse are virtually in sync considering crimes against humans BEGIN with animals. DUH. If a culture doesn't protect animal rights WTH kind of human rights do you think you have? Seriously? Look it up if you can't wrap your brain around it.
As far as other cultures and their "foot"being their thing, Bullshit. This is not religious. This is simply because they can and will use anything for profit. It is an ethical issue obviously or else these dogs would be soup today!
I didn't know that Nazi's started killing Jewish chickens before they moved to actual Jews! OMY for you information, Korea's human rights are literally on par with United States? Also, I think that hypocritical because Americans do anything for profit too.. Like feed their livestock, corn instead of actual grass? Finally, it doesn't make it ethical because YOU think its wrong..
Take an ethics class; the view that right / wrong is subective is flawed and can be refuted easily. How? The fact that arguing the point that right/wrong is subjective means you think there is at least one right view; which disproves that right and wrong is subjective....logic sucks doesn't it?
She is entitled to her own opinion's right? Stop trying to act like a logic expert and open your eyes to the real world! This happens as we speak and your comment isn't going to change anything goes on. Feel proud that I wasted my time typing this for you. Thanks bruh
Multiculturalism would be easy if other cultures didn't suck.
While overseas I have eaten dogs, cats, snakes, lizards and all sorts of other things that crawl around, all of it was good. I think these animal activists need to take a closer look at the food chain and stop watching disney movies. With world hunger the way it is dogs and cats breed way faster and mature way quicker than beef. Also would be a good solution to the feral cats and dogs problem, round them up and feed them to the needy.
Unless you are poor, starving and have nothing else to eat there is no excuse for eating a dog and seeing that you can afford to use the Internet you are none of those.
There is absolutely no difference between eating dog meat and that of other animals (i.e. pigs, cattle, chicken, etc.) The argument revolving around the fact that we keep dogs as companions in the United States is, in fact, no argument at all. Just because the vast majority of humans view dogs and cats as companions, and "farm" animals as food does not justify the situation. Neither of the two groups of animals is more intellectually more competent than those included in the other. What are considered "food" animals in America are viewed as sacred in other countries. But what it all boils down to has nothing to do with culture, or the bandwagon effect; some might even say that moral choice plays a minor role. It is utterly hypocritical to comment on the "pain that one sees in the face of the poor animal" and the "blatant difference between the diets of Americans and those practiced in other countries" and that "there is an unfair advantage to eating dogs", because if "meat is meat" then all animals must be viewed as equal. And if that is indeed true, then the relativity of the pain which chickens, cows, and pigs suffer through every moment of every day so that we, as Americans, may enjoy a "wholesome meal" should cause every person who rails against those who eat dogs to be outraged at the prospect of factory farming. Examine the morality of your own diet before criticizing others. If this article was upsetting or shocking to you, then it is clear that you are ignorant of the horrors of America's meat industry.
"Just because the vast majority of humans view dogs and cats as companions, and 'farm' animals as food does not justify the situation."
Actually, it justifies a lot. It justifies the double-standard we have when it comes to dogs versus pigs and dogs versus cows and dogs versus fish. It's a collective societal double-standard on-par with (though certainly not identical to) babies versus pigs and babies versus cows and babies versus fish. Your point about "it's just meat" can be made equally to other taboos regarding meat.
Yes, it's a double standard. Of course it is. I, however, make no apologies for holding that double standard.
I completely agree with your comment, and I fully recognize the double-standard that has been in place for many a year now. However, I object to said standard. I was simply trying to outline the perspective that a large number of Americans tend to identify with.
It's not just a "view"–it's a scientific truth. Dogs and horses have been selectively bred for trust and obedience to humans for thousands of years. There's nothing subjective about that.
We are entering an age where the world's population is exploding and the food sully chain is dwindling. God forbid any catastrophic event in the supply of food, it would be beyond my imagination of what the human being would eat. Remember the drought in Africa.They were dying by the thousands, and eat anything that they could get their hands on...
Putting a chip under a dog is not mutilation, that is like saying someone who has surgery is being mutilated, give me a break! As for spaying and neutering, same thing and all the other silly points you tried to make.
Consumption of food is culturally relative. I'm making this statement as an animal rights advocate. The reason American individuals find disgust in the factory farming, or even "humane" farming, of dogs is similar to why I find the farming of pigs absurd. (Don't give me the intelligence argument; pigs are highly intelligent creatures.) A animal rights movement must come from the inside (people of Korea) and not from American's who think they are "fixing" a culture, but are merely cultural imperialist. As an animal rights advocate, I will help support and fund the animal rights people in Korea. I will not promote or advocate or support American animal rights advocates who try to tell the Korean people what to do.
well said!
My mother was raised on a farm. She had a pet pig named Cowbell (they weren't too bright on that farm). My mother treated that pig like I treat my pet Terrier now. Then, one day, when she was "old enough", my grandfather ordered her to go and kill Cowbell to be sold at market.
My mother told me she cried uncontrollably, but she did it. And the family had ham sandwiches later. She'll never forget Cowbell. But, she'll also never forget Cowbell was a pig. If I'm starving, my Terrier better start running...
Your terrier and those Terrorists they have locked up...
Dhondi is the smartest person on this Blog.
AS AN AMERICAN HINDU PESCETARIAN DOG OWNER who used to eat meat (it means I only eat seafood because I am weak and can't give it up) I say LET THEM EAT DOG.
Why do people who eat cows make fun of Hindus who "worship" cows.. First, we dont' worship them but relied on them for Milk, Ploughing the fields, Transportation (Carts) so why would we eat them.
People who eat meat who judge others who eat dogs should either (a) shut up and let people eat Dog or (b) stop eating other animals which you have rationalized as "lesser animals / beasts". To not want to eat a Dog "because it has a cute face" but have no problem eating rabbit, or a calf or piglet is just plain stupid. Best idea: stop eating animals if you don't need to.
And Cow pee..Gandhi's favorite drink.
And Camel pee is Mohammmmad's favourite drink.. google it if you want.
You can't just lump all dogs together in one category as "having value". My wife has a P.o.S. Dachshund-Beagle mix, that thing couldn't possibly be of any use outside of a chili pot. Not every dog is a German Shepherd. If it isn't useful, or at least housebroken, then you can't justify why cows and swine are acceptable food sources, but yippie little turd droppers aren't. Same with people, we aren't valuable simply because we're human. If someone is lazy or parasitic, I have no problem putting them on the barbie, you have to actually contribute to have any value.
I understand your point. I feel that way about conservatives.
I'm a vegetarian. I've always felt that my respect for life should be based on the level of brain function, especially capacity for pain. I have more respect for dogs, whales, tigers, and cows, than I do for plants, bacteria, bugs, or snails. The higher level brain function life forms deserve my respect.
Why?
While eating dog wouldn't be my first choice, meat is meat. Industry regulation may be necessary in order to monitor and prevent incidences of animal cruelty. People will always eat dog, whether we like it or not, so let's instead make sure that they are being provided a decent product, and the animals to be consumed are properly housed and fed... the same way we monitor the well-being of cows, chickens, pigs, and other common sources of meat.
Hey guys, will you visit HelpFaye.ORG , a friend of mine is fighting for her life... Thank you ...
I love that meddling causes so many issues, yet we feel the resolution is to meddle some more. Just think. If we had left dogs "wild" and not domesticated them, we wouldn't have the problem with whether or not they're eaten. We wouldn't have a problem with strays. We wouldn't have any of the issues if we left nature to nature instead of thinking we could manage it better. The issue of a dog chasing a car. It's not the chasing, it's what to do with it once you have it. Now that we have domesticated them, what do we do with the problem of nature no longer controling the population?
It appears to be a dog eat dog world. Dog can be a little greasy, cats taste funny. Not like chicken at all.
Because the life of a domestic pet is much more important than that of an animal raised for meat. Cows and Pigs are only good for meat, but the life of a dog is equivalent of the life of a baby child. I would kill a person before letting them kill a dog.
What a lot of horrible analogies and arguments. "Dogs were bred to be companions." "Some things are just wrong" "Some countries sterilize women..." If you can justify eating a cow, a pig, or a rabbit, or feeding horse meat to your dog (dog food), you can justify eating a dog. Sure, you shouldn't eat your PET dog. You've established a relationship based on trust with that animal. But this article is talking about dogs that are raised just like any other domesticated animal that was bred for food. Since most of the world has domesticated dogs to be pets, we've acquired this fuzzy and warm relationship with dogs and can no longer see them as just animals. Some people have rabbits for pets. You can find them in most shopping mall pet stores. But rabbit is still a common dish even in American restaurants. Should we not eat any animal that has ever been kept as a pet? I don't think there are enough nutria and platypus to feed the world. Don't judge the practices of others solely on your own practices.
People sorely lack the ability to rationalize beyond their own feelings and emotions. While I would never eat a dog or a cat because I have that same connection with these animals that most Americans do, I still understand that this is not true in all cultures/countries and I would never condemn them for eating a dog when I would eat a rabbit. That's hypocrisy; a sin I rate right up there with the worst kind.
"People sorely lack the ability to rationalize beyond their own feelings and emotions."
And that is a good thing. I dearly hope that people do not ever transcend their emotions in the name of reason or rationality. Really really bad things happen when they manage to do so. Emotions are a good thing. Emotion is not the enemy of reason.
While it is a good thing to become aware of one's intellectual inconsistencies and double standards, it is not incumbent upon the rational being to do away with those same inconsistencies. In some cases, it is immoral to do so. This is one of those cases.
Again, a dog is different from a pet rabbit because dogs have been selectively bred over thousands of years to trust and obey humans. Rabbits have not. The dogs being raised on these farms also come from thousands of years of selective breeding for trust and obedience. How an individual dog is being raised has no effect on the DNA that it has inherited.
It's wrong because dogs are DOMESTICATED PETS. They instinctively trust people. Once they know you, they will love and protect you as well. Try getting that from chickens and cows. Freaking uncivilized people...
Personally, I wouldn't eat dog meat. Cat meat, that would be a different story.
You really should try to eat a pussy. It's delicious. Just don't know what you're missing
I've never seen so many disgusting comments in my life on an article. The Chinese are disgusting, my father is a veterinarian and you would be astounded at the diseases that can be carried through dogs if never properly treated, and that's just one dog in one household that could die from not having proper vaccinations, worming, and prevention of many diseases carried. After reading these comments.....it's official....I have no defense at all for Americans being labled as "DUMB." Might as well as throw in immoral as well.
In our culture, we don't eat dog because we feel it barbaric. In most cultures (75%), they don't cut the foreskin off a baby boys because they feel it barbaric. Who are we to judge anyone.
Two wrongs don't make a right. Maybe the folks who think circumcision is barbaric are right–we should consider their arguments. Just as they should consider our culture's arguments for why eating dog is wrong. Respecting other cultures doesn't require one to throw away all concepts of right and wrong and decide that everything's subjective. Instead, it requires a willingness to consider the arguments made by people from other cultures.
What's next? What's wrong with eating your kids/siblings/parents meat...
Don't forget....the chinese also use aborted fetuses in soups and beauty products. Yet they are the largest exporter in the US.
Carnivores typically eat herbivores, but that's not law. Doctors tell us the less meat you eat the healthier you will be. Vegetarians tell us that the lower you eat on the evolutionary scale, the healthier you are. Fish is better than insects which are better than reptiles which is better than birds which is better than mammals.
The problem I have with eating dogs is my absolute disgust for anyone who eats them.
Other than the fact that you get four drumsticks, I am just not seeing the appeal.
Yeah, not really much meat on a pooch and it's rank carnivore.
Having been born and raised in the Philippines I absolutely could not stand the capturing and killing of dogs for food. This is very popular in the north (Baguio area among the tribesmen) and also sidestreet food.
I personally believe it's wrong but don't know what to say when I hear "it's all he could afford to eat"
I know a number of people (myself included) that can't stand seeing a dog being killed on TV but we seem desensitized when we see humans die but that's probably because we see humans being harmful and consequence is considered justice while dogs will always be blameless.
At the end of the day, there are those who see dogs as blameless and have developed such a strong connection with them simply because they live to be your companion but there are also those as nothing more than animals and don't care.
Pastlife, you had dog meat as a child in Korea. Are you still living in Korea? If you are living here, why did you and/or your family move (is it better here for the most part)? If I move to Korea and they have a practice of eating dogs, I don't tell them how they should stop eating dogs. That's their culture and it should be respected by those who were not raised in it. The same should be applied here when it comes to the person who wrote this article. If you do live in the U.S. now, it would be offensive to try and push your cultural ways on a country’s citizens, when you know it goes against their cultural ways. We are all part of the food chain. Are humans considered "OFF LIMITS" or are they just off-limits "FOR NOW"? You may think my example is a bit extreme but to use your own analogy, there are cultures in the world who eat other humans. They practice cannibalism. Apparently in those societies eating humans is justified. So here in America, should we consider eating humans. It sure could help cut down on the homeless population and cut down on all the money that's spent on homeless shelters and many other services. Think of all the money that could be saved and we could all enjoy really low priced bar b que! Cannibals eat humans. Does that make it a good idea that we here in America should consider? Where should we draw the line? Is it okay to keep moving the line a little further again and again till adding humans doesn't seem so outrageous because others do it? Where do we draw the line on our morales?
I couldn't eat one but meat is meat, same as eating a cow or pig.
I think this issue goes past a lot of the analogies that are being made, from comparing dogs to other animals, comparing humans to other animals, and comparing the acceptance of eating one animal to the unacceptance of eating another. We all understand that we come from different cultures and backgrounds that shape our outlook on life, we all can agree on that. But what we can't agree on is who's culture or backgroud is more 'right' than the others, but thats ok right? Because if we could, then we'd have nothing to argue about, nothing to fight about, nothing to go to war about...these differences make the world we live in today, and without them nothing would be in balance. I love my dog very dearly, and would protect his life with my own. If another people half way around the world want to do something else with them, then fine, just don't dare come to my country, my house, my life and inject that on me...because it would start an agrument and a fight. So to all you who think this is 'right', move to Korea, I'll help you pack your bags
Well, we finally got rid of Palin. Now it's Bachmann's turn.
I've eaten dog & cat all over the world and coyote backstrap here in Montana without ill effect. I also lost my companion dog a year ago and still miss her greatly. My dog Sammi was never a food source and my willingness to eat dogs has no influence on the love I share with companion dogs.
This is just another case one group trying to impose its values on a large portion of humanity. We are carnivores; get over it.
The problem is Americans are so quick to judge someone that doesnt live life exactly as they do.Of course we dont eat dogs, we werent raised eating them or being told they were a source of food. But in other places its different, every where you go in the world there are different delicacies and some of them we would turn our nose up to. That doesnt mean theyre wrong for consuming them.haha. I love dogs and probably wouldnt eat one,but im not gonna judge someone if they do thats their choice. And besides they raise these "Meat dogs" just how we would raise catlle, so i dont see the problem with them eating the meat. Now if they were just riding around snatching up peoples pets, then yes that would be different. Lastly theres lots of people who eat veal,which is a calf. That could be looked at as inhumane also,becuase your consuming an animal thats not even an adult yet. Let them do them,its not affecting us its two different cultures.
Just because it's part of a culture doesn't make it right Biggs. There are some people that still eat humans in remote parts of the the world as "part of thier culture". Eating animals that have evolved over thougsands of years along side humans is equally disgusting. Much like your ignorant comment.
It may sound terrible for dog lovers in the United States about dog eaters in some parts of Asia, but don't you think some people of Hinduism faith feel the same way about us eating cows? and yet you see big bill boards with juicy pieces of steak being advertised next to our freeways. If you tell a horse lover that part of the menu in most French restaurants is horse meat, he/she may probably not be too thrilled about that statement, but it is very normal to come across that in the menu over there. If they eat dog, cat, or horse who are we to judge their cultural habits? We eat cows, fish, pigs, and chickens, are we despicable for that?
Why don't you just change your site name to Yahoo and get it over with? CNN is losing all sense of journalistic integrity. My post is the only time those words have been used in association with CNN all year.
Hmmm...I'd hate to see what Americans who think dog eating in Korea is o.k. do when they get to Bangkok.
"Just because we don't do it in the U.S. doesn't seem to make for a very good argument." So that is your conclusion to the story or the question? where's the article? where is you thought process? go back to high school and try again.....
Mostly we have lost our relationship with feed animals.
Pigs, chickens, cows have let the small farms and back yards for factory farms.
So now we pamper our dogs but the price is a cruel life for our food.
Friend of mine kept a pig in a brownstone in Raleigh, NC. Actually had it in the back yard, but he used to let it in the house. One day it got out the front door and climbed up on top of his neighbor's car, leaving huge dents, then ran off down the road and caused a lot of damage and legal trouble. Now, you can get you some pigs and chickens if you want, but unless you live on a farm . . . .
The look on that dogs face is breaking my heart. How can someone look at that and then eat it? We aren't cavemen anymore, we have food options. Eating dogs should not be an option. Notice all the weird stuff is done in Asian countries? Eating dogs, pooping in the streets...lol... gross.
65 million guinea pigs are eaten in peru every year.
Kitty tar-tar. Be generous with the white pepper, it needs it.
F- the Koreans, F- the Chinese and F- all meat eaters! You all suck period....!
And those those lazy workers who like to "F-" the dog...
There is no ethical justification for slaughtering and eating any healthy animal. Human, dog or otherwise.
ethical? Humans are meat-eaters and just because a lot of Americans look like cows, doesn't mean we should eat like cows. I'm pretty sure lions and tigers don't beat themselves up about the ethics of eating their prey.
spiritual divinity has no logic, no justification. So little knowledge, so little understanding. Too stupid to even know your souls disconnect, and glaring unintelligence.
BOYCOTT SOUTH KOREA! Don't drive a Hyundai or a Kia!
Historically, recently, Chinese have demonstrated that when times get tough, they will sell and eat their own children, girls first of course. Don't think of them as human.
Having lived months in China......I agree. The Chinese as a people are totally nasty!
IF I COULD DESTROY THESE PEOPLE AND THEIR PRACTICES........I WOULD.
>>> Some things are just morally wrong.
Joe, I'm sure you realize that eating dog meat is not different "morally" than eating chicken, beef, duck, or.....I'm sure you meant it FEELS wrong, and depending on the culture you live it that's true.
Everyone seems to forget that we “evolved” this amazing companion through carefully breeding and now look at all we have created with the many different species, these may be animals but they have much more emotions and feelings from their wolf ancestors and feel sadness and pain just like us, they are sentient and to eat what we created to be a loving companion is just wrong. Just because it moves Asians doesn’t mean you should eat it. If dogs were to be looked at for just “meat” then we would not have them in the military, police, patient care facilities….they deserve more than a life of sadness and fear…all for a fuc*ing burger…shame on you!
I have lived in South Korea a couple times for a number of years (I am a Caucasian American, in case you are wondering). I have eaten boshintang (dog meat soup) a couple of few times. It was okay. I am also a big dog lover and have three. I also grew up on a farm where we had pigs, cows, and chickens. I can tell you that pigs can be just as affectionate and fun as a dog. I have no moral qualms about having eaten dog, pigs, chickens, cows, deer, elk. bear, and rattlesnake. I am just honest with my self about the situation. I am a omnivore by nature. I eat meat. There is no difference in killing one animal versus another for food purposes. Trying to rationalize that it is okay to kill and eat one versus another might make you feel good, but such an argument has no basis in logic. Having said this, I fell strongly that all animals should be raised humanely, whatever the purpose. Would I eat a person? I suppose that in a life or death situation, I probably would, as would everyone else, I think.
There is littlle to argue here. I love dogs. I eat meat. I would never eat a dog unless my survival required it. Meat is meat, and if others cultutally are not opposed to it, then how can you argue against it, unless you are vegan or vegetarian?
The difference between dogs and livestock is basic. We keep livestock and the livestock puts up with being kept because they get a regular supply of food. In general livestock does not show affection to the farmer or anyone else. A cow might come to the gate for grain, but it isn't looking for a pat on the head or to have it's belly scratched. It doesn't get excited just because the farmer entered the barn.
Dogs, even stray dogs, show affection to humans - even humans they don't know. They look to us for guidance and leadership. They look to us for playmates. They freely give us their love and affection. Anyone who's ever had a dog come up to them to comfort them knows they could never eat such a creature.
I dont eat meat now anyway but to eat cat or dog where i come from in the UK is barbaric its the way they do it to they steal dogs kill them barbarically its just not right these were peoples pets would you eat your son and daughter these animals have feelings and are supposed to be mans best friend the way they treat the animals for fur is also very barbaric can you imagine having your skin being pulled off while alive its sad and i hate it they roast animals alive to eat you cannot say this is humane i think they should STOP! Alot of people dont go to Asia because of this i would never go because of this!
Maybe we should drop a nuke and a little hot sauce on South Korea.
Put's a whole new meaning to hotdog..
Developed countries have largely moved beyond eating animals that are taboo. Dogs (and cats) have been domesticated as companions for thousands of years so in most countries it is considered taboo. Perhaps someone should start domesticating the Koreans and those people that think its ok to consume these animals. Personally, besides being taboo I think it's barbaric and grotesque...and those are the nicest words I could find.
you only write this and think this way because you live where there is the luxury in choosing where one can get protein. IN much of China and other Asian countries, dogs are eaten as a matter of taste and necessity. Almost NO protein source goes uneated–which is why many countries also include reptiles, and bugs on their menu. In western history, people often ate dogs when faced with starvation on either land or in harsh climes. They are a protein source. Of course people also have eaten humans if the need arose and the protein source is limited. One reason this is so is that of all food sources only the 21 amino acids available in protein are essential for life–ergo–you don't eat protein, you cannot live long.
So they eat dogs, and they probably raise them to eat also. So what? I am a dog owner and lover and since I am that, I will keep my dogs out of countries where they are considered food. I have lived in Taiwan and lost several dogs to thieves who no doubt put them on the table –I was very upset but I am also a pragmatist–We need to grow up and stop thinking of the world just from our own point of view–where food choices and water and shelter are plentiful–where other countries do not get in to invade, bomb or occupy and where, if needed, there are food banks or large areas to farm –every where does not have this. We are not holier than thou–but we most certainly are very self centered as a nation. A lot of food choices started as necessities then evolved into genuine liking. I suspect our disdain and horror at people who eat dogs is equivalent to the Hindu horror of people who eat beef.
You are wrong queenbee, Just because I live in a developed country with plentiful resources does not mean I am oblivious to the sufferings of mankind and what is right and what is wrong. You can justify their behavior all you want but all your excuses doesn't mean that their behavior is right or just. I have traveled all over this great world and I have seen the poorest of the poor and they weren't eating their pet companions systematically. Dogs and cats have evolved to become our companions over thousands of years. There is nothing justifiedable with eating evovled creatures. Additionally, perhaps you should search the internet and look at the practices and torture at some of these slaughter houses...there is nothing "humane" about it. You should read the article a little closer I don't think a "dog meat festival" equals to survival! Kudos to the animal rights activitsts in their own country that saw the lack of civiility and and stopped it.
Octopi have feelin's!
I had a dog who saved my family life twice. Once from a House Fire, the dog woke us up barking so we were all able to get out safely. The second time the same dog saved my brother from drowning. We lived on a farm with cows, chickens, cats, etc. and no the chicken's did not save us or the cows... but the family dog! Dogs are really man's best friend. Treat them with respect and love and they will reward you back with the best companionship!
I just watched a video someone posted above about the dog markets in Koren, Horrible!!! They love to torture before they eat! Very disturbing! People have to stop this. This is no need to eat dog meat. You can get plenty of protein from beans, nuts and seeds, tofu etc. The cows I had on my farm were dairy cows and hen laying chickens. No need to eat meat!
can we cook PETA up please?
This is a tough one. I would say I would pass on dog. Not because I don't think it is a good meat but that unlike other farm animals dogs tend to show affection when they become accustomed to someone. No matter how much time I spent with the cows or pigs or chickens they never came up to me unless I had food and really didn't want to be touched, where a dog will come up to you just for affection.
The problem with the analogy of farm animals or game animals with dogs (also with cats) is that the former animals didn't coevolve with human beings for humanity's social pleasure in addition to survival. For many thousands of years in all parts of the world, humans, dogs, and cats have actually coevolved socially and genetically. Humans have artificially selected and bred dogs and cats so that they have the social qualities that humans desired. Human beings with an affinity for dogs and cats also were more likely to survive and pass on their own genes, meaning that dogs and cats have actually altered the evolution of humanity. In that process, these animals have become "human-like": that is they display social qualities that work in harmony with our own. Most human beings on earth actually have a genetically-biased (inherited, not learned) affinity for these animals, as well (as is readily apparent), due to the positive pressures of natural selection on mankind associated with cohabitation with dogs and cats. We have made our bed, and we must now sleep in it. It should be a taboo, a social stigma, to belittle these animals as food when we have put forth such an effort to make them "human-like". After all, we have these stigmas in place to deter cannabalism. Dogs and cats are part of our extended gentic families, and we are a part of their's.
I'm not going to claim that this argument is wholely objective because obviously it's not. But coming from the biological perspective of the selfish gene and survival of the species, it does make logical sense in terms of humanity's ingrained/instictual desire to survive, a desire which extends to those we call "family".
Thank you! This is what a lot of folks just don't seem to be "getting"–the designation of dogs as companion animals isn't just some fuzzy feeling. It's based on thousands of years of evolution and selective breeding.
I'm sorry but this whole article and subsiquent posts are nothing but a failed attempt to prove that moral relativism is some how a justifiable belief system. If something is wrong with your culture something is wrong with your culture. Moral relativism falls apart so easily.
It's sad how many people here have a superiority complex or try to come off as educated when they clearly aren't. Here are the problems with eating dogs.
1. Cognitively, yes they're higher developed than a cow. Do some literature and article searches you'll find a lot of research on it. Dogs have the basic cognitive functions of young children, same goes for apes which is why I would also call eating a gorilla perverted.
2. For those drops out who don't know this, dogs evolved from wolves. They were bred, unintentionally, to exhibit wolf puppy like behavior over a longer period of time. This is why dogs are not aggressive towards humans and act like wolf puppies because essentially, they are juvenile their entire lives. It's like killing a baby.
3. Dogs have diverse emotions, not just fear responses. They can love just like a child can with all the devotion that comes along with it. Same hormonal responses as mother child bonding.
4. Dogs are evolved ALONG with us, not for us. Right now a lot of research is being done regarding our own evolution which is highly likely to have succeeded, in contrast to the neanderthal, BECAUSE we word side by side with dogs. Early cave paintings depict people hunting with the HELP of dogs.
So for us to sit here and make this a cultural debate is irrelevant. This has nothing to do with culture this has to do with a sense of humanity. If you want to go eat a little 3 year old kid and have no problems with it because "meat is meat" hey, I know some great psychiatrists. If you're going to sit here and say every cultural practice should be accepted by the world, think about segregation, child brides, forced prostitution, etc. If you're a vegan, this is not a chance for you to try to guilt trip everyone either, humans are omnivores, don't force it.
Thank you! Again, the designation of dogs as companion animals is BIOLOGICAL, not cultural.
When a dog had the personality, intelligence, loyalty, and companionship as it does...I don't, never WILL, understand how a human could hurt, much less, kill a dog and eat it. Like another poster said...that would be like eating a human baby (I would feel nauseous at the thought & severe remorse if I simply ate the meat). I LOVE dogs...LOVE them. They are precious in my eyes, and have the ability to develop a special relationship & bond-I DON'T BELIEVE (my OPNION) that it is a morally right thing to do. I would be severly distraught if I even saw dogs for sale for this means.
These people are worse than barbarians. If allowed, they would even make soup out of human flesh. People in these Southeast Asian countries such as China, Korea, Vietnam, Japan, Philippines etc. are so nasty and cruel. They won't hesitate to kill anything that is moving and make a meal out it. They have no compassion or respect for other living creatures. For every damn food they attach the fancy adjectives like 'stamina', 'sexual prowess' 'virile'..even with all this these people are not considered as great in bedroom...
"they would even make soup out of human flesh" Really, and you know this how? Calm down and stop raving about the Yellow Peril.
You will never defeat Doctor Fu Manchu, Mister Nayland-Smith. He is too cunning for you, and by the way, have you seen your dog lately? Ah, ha ha ha!
Again, more illogical and hypocritical ethnocentrism. Perhaps you are the barbarian – you know, for living in a country that slaughters 100s of millions of animals in their own backyard while being ignorant to it), not to mention invades and bombs others who don't agree with it.
I would rather see dogs being killed for food in Asia than dogs being tortured and killed in the US.
I would rather see dogs being killed for food in Asia than dogs being tortured and killed just out of sheer joy in the US.
Oh my gosh.ever heard of mans best friend!!!! This just makes me sick!!! A dog is a loyal pet and to some a family member and to suggest such a thing is so so wrong!!!! That just goes to show that there are alot of sick people in this world..We were given fish and foul to eat and pigs and cows..but dogs are trainable loyal and loving animals..So glad it did not take place I am so glad for the animal rights activist!!! That picture is heartbreaking!
Feed the Chinese and Koreans to the pigs
You know, I can understand this barbaric atrocity if people were starving, but to have a festival to promote it as a celebration of nutrition is inexcusable. I've noticed its the same countries (Japan, China, Korea, Singapore) over and over again who commit these acts against the animal kingdom. And no one speaks up about it...some weird little cultural thing I guess about criticizing their own. But to butcher a domesticated animal as its probably wagging its tail at you is beyond vile and disgusting, just like the ones who commit this act. May the ones who do this be reborn as a "nutricious" alternative to beef in their next lives. Disgusting.
PS: to the idiots slamming the Chinese - PLEASE READ THE DANG ARTICLE! Chinese animal lovers STOPPED the KOREAN Dog Farmers. Koreans are the bad guys here folks. Figure it out.
I eat my girlfriends hair pie and thats human. So I guess humans do eat eachother.
Good point. Although, she does have that weird citrusy flavor. What's up with that?
You naughty boy, you!
I am officially a vegie now. Eating dogs, humans, rats, pigs, lamb, cattle, chickens, turkeys, deer....that's it.
Joe above has it right. This story is for nothing but eliciting a response. Might as well be posted on Yahoo instead of CNN.
As the the difference between eating dogs or cows. Dogs were domesticated to help humans. Most cultures used dogs in one way or another as workers. Studies have been performed that show even a wild fox will produce young which become easily domesticated in 1 generation. The dog fully relies on humans now to survive. I know I am a dog lover, but to turn all that evolution around and start eating the animal which we intentionally domesticated to help us seems very wrong.
Finally
I like dags too,but they would eat me if given the chance.Ill eat anything that would bite me first
I already can see the dogs plotting against you: "Hey Fido, hey Rex. Tonight is the night. We're gonna have guest for dinner".
Good point. Dogs may have eaten more of us than we have of them in the long run.
So the chinese feel now they are entitled to grade dogs as "low" or "junk". Maybe because they're the #1 in low paying jobs or junk products.
Poor dogs.
I ate dog once in China. We were walking down a street past a street vendor and I just was really a spontaneous decision, more out of curiousity than anything. If I had thought about, I wouldn't have, because I guess I do think it is wrong, and not just because we don't do it in America. Dog's have been domesticated for 15,000 years. Dogs serve many important roles, other than food, for man. Hunting, herding, security, companionship. Dogs risk their lives for man in police and armed forces across the globe. They serve as aids to handicapped people, and serve as companions to people who can't leave their homes or hospitals. What other animal serves humans as selflessly as dogs do? I think dogs have EARNED their right to be protected by humans just as they protect humans.
Personaly I would have to be REALLY starving to eat a dog. However, we do have a HUGE problem with unwanted dogs/strays. Maybe instead of kill shleters where we put the unwanted dogs to sleep, we could sell them for food or donate to needy people. At least then they would not be dying for not having someone who can care for them, but rather sustaining people who need food. I know I coudlnt eat them, but Im sure there are some who do not mind.
Do keep in mind that things like topical flea treatments and dewormers that are given to many dogs make them unsafe for human consumption. Also, you cannot euthanize a dog by injection and then use it for food, because anyone who ate it would also die from the chemical in the flesh. So, these dogs would have to be euthanized using other methods, most of which are much less humane, and you'd have to have a full history of the dog to ensure that it had never been treated with anything else that would make it unsafe to eat, which of course you're almost never going to have for a shelter dog.
In my experience (and some of these posts prove it), a good number of dog/animal lovers display sociopathic personality disorders. They seem to value animal life more than humans (on practical, not just fundamental level). The fact some of these nut jobs are comparing the consumption of dog meat to a notch below cannibalism reminds me of anti-gay neo-cons that say gay marriage only paves the way to legalized bestiality and pedophilia.
Many people have correctly pointed out that the negative perception of dog meat can be reduced solely to a difference in cultural perception, and has nothing to due with some higher form of God's morality or US superiority. Furthermore, I have not heard one purposeful argument from an anti-dog meat post that wasn't then logically refuted or disproved. To think some of you are refuting this (and I understand some people are emotionally attached to dogs), can only be attributed to ethnocentrism, which is absolutely ridiculous.
No one has responded to any of the posts describing how dogs have been selectively bred to trust and obey humans for thousands of years, particularly the post that described how humans co-evolved with dogs and how our survival as a species may in fact be due to that co-evolution. These are biological, not cultural arguments.
There is a dearth of logical arguments presentied here, but I have presented one that explains the seemingly irrational behavior people exhibit in defense of their companion animals / pets (the seemingly 'irrational' behavior is actually more rational than it first seems, at least in biological terms):
"The problem with the analogy of farm animals or game animals with dogs (also with cats) is that the former animals didn't coevolve with human beings for humanity's social pleasure in addition to survival. For many thousands of years in all parts of the world, humans, dogs, and cats have actually coevolved socially and genetically. Humans have artificially selected and bred dogs and cats so that they have the social qualities that humans desired. Human beings with an affinity for dogs and cats also were more likely to survive and pass on their own genes, meaning that dogs and cats have actually altered the evolution of humanity. In that process, these animals have become "human-like": that is they display social qualities that work in harmony with our own. Most human beings on earth actually have a genetically-biased (inherited, not learned) affinity for these animals, as well (as is readily apparent), due to the positive pressures of natural selection on mankind associated with cohabitation with dogs and cats.

But coming from the biological perspective of the selfish gene and survival of the species, it does make logical sense in terms of humanity's ingrained/instictual desire to survive, a desire which extends to those we call "family"."
I am against eating dog. Especially cruel the way the animals are tortured before being eaten.
I am a dog lover, always had one growning up and always will have one. For me it's not the fact of other countries eating dog, it's about the treatment that dogs and all food animals are put through while being raised and killed. Give them humane treatment while being raised and killed and you can eat whatever you want and I won't have any issue with it. That animal is giving it's life for you the least that can be done for that animal is a humane life and death.
If you're going to be purely objective, then let's all eat human meat. Let's face it, there is a huge difference between dogs and cattle. Higher beings such as dolphins, primates, and dogs belong in the same class as humans.
So you have a prejudice against "not so smart" animals, means we eat the dumb ones. Translate that to humans, we eat the dumb humans. Or, just as well, we eat the dumd dogs. Get the I.Q test out. From your postings, you could be a meal....
I never said anything about intelligence (or lack thereof in your case); this is about consciousness, having a sense of selfhood.

And say what, you troll? Please don't inform me about things I don't want to know about? That they are lying about dogs being eaten? Dear CNN, please shoot the messenger?
An animal's life, regardless of the species, is as important to it as our lives are important to us. It is wrong to take an innocent animal out of its habitat, force it to live in a small packed area just so that it can be killed for a human to enjoy for a few minutes. I don't think dogs deserve any greater priority that cows. An animal is an animal and they all want to live just as much as you and I do. I know that humans have been eating meat since the beginning of time, but they did not factory farm or put any animals in cages.
A dog is man's best friend, to eat one would be like eating one of your memorable college buddies or good work colleagues. Let that thought sink in.
lol, I need some fava beans to go with that please!
Look at this poor doggy... When I go to the Chinese restaurant, I am not sure if I've just eaten deep fried General Tso's Dog or steamed cat with broccoli. Want it with some soy sauce? Hot sauce? Mustard?
Our society has become so inhumane nothing stops what a person wants! Kill and eat companion animals, where do you draw the line, or is there no line??? A dog would give their life for their master, but would the master think twice about the life of their dog?? Society has become so desensitized there is no morality. I'm so happy to know I live with someone that values life, mine and hers! Yes, it is my dog, and she has saved my life when she could have run and saved her own! She bears the scars today. I hold her in higher esteem than many of the humans sad comments today!
This is disturbing and wrong I dont even know where to begin. The people that are slaughtering dogs should be beaten within an inch from there life.
It is good to know there are some humane people out there. I'm with you Tommy!
Dogs have been domesticated over 1000s of years to be man's companion, not food! That is the heart of the entire matter! Cattle were never raised to be pets, they were always raised to be food. Eating dog/cat is barbaric at best. disgusting cultures.
Horses were not bred to be food, they were bred for very specific non-culinary functions in mind. And yet we feed them to dogs...
That is wrong too then.
If a bear jumped out of the woods and picked up your dog and ate it, you wouldn't tell the bear that what it did was morally wrong. There's nothing morally wrong with a dog being eaten–it's only our feelings towards dogs which make it seem wrong. I would never eat dog because I love dogs, but there's no moral reason why eating a dog is any different than eating a cow. I do believe in moral absolutes, but what animals we eat for food is not one of them.
I get really tired of this simpleton response. But this is not your fault its the writer, Emily Lodish who wrote the stupidest, article leaving out the true facts about the immense suffering and abuse these dogs and cats are put through.
If this writer had written the truth about the torture that is happening I believe we wouldn't have so many uninformed comments.
"Soilent Green is made of People !"
Is cannibalism okay? It's still practiced today by some cultures. Is that enough of a reason to justify it? We could reduce the homeless population and feed those who are starving. As long as another culture practices it, is that a good enough reason to indoctrinate it into our society? The person who wrote this article is probably cursing right now saying "Damn it not yet, not yet! He's tossing my idea out way too soon before we have had a chance to numb and desensitize the public down, so we could gradually toss this idea at them!!" People like this just chip away our morals a little at the time tell eventually; you realize your society no longer has any boundaries. You wake up one day and realize you're living in the equivalent of Venezuela or Cuba and wonder how it came to be. I'll tell you how that happens; they chip away at you and your morals, a little bit at a time...

Dog is much better than cat, squirrel, or armadillo. You get a lot more meat for the effort of cleaning it. Environmentally, dog is friendlier than pork or beef. Millions of unwanted dogs are killed in the US every year. They should be used for food, at the very least, at animal shelters, if not homeless shelters.

Your an ass.
This is just completely wrong on so many levels. When you sell animal meat such as cows, pigs, chicken, etc. Those are wild animals. Dogs are domesticaed animals are are to be someone's pet not teir dinner. You have counties where unfortunately this is accepted because they are a 3rd world county and have no ahlternatives. But then you get all of these people from oriental countries that move to the US and open their Thai, Chinese or Japanese restaurants. What meat are they using and who is regulatig what they are using? I do not now or will I ever eat any of this food for this reason and this reason alone!
Typical idiotic comment. So by calling pigs, cows, etc. WILD, you mean raising them on concentration camp like settings and slaughtering them systematically? What would you say about Indians coming over here and telling you you are a barbarian and scum for eating cows, for which they consider sacred? Seriously, I'd like to know what you'd say. You'd probably call them barbaric and threaten to invade and bomb their country in a drunken tirade.
As the saying goes, what’s sacred to one is food to others. I think we are quick to judge other cultures by our own moral values. It’s hard for some people to imagines even in today’s day and age that the world is very diverse and people have different faiths and values.
In some nations Pig is considered a great meal while in others it’s considered filthy. In some nations Cow is sacred while in others it’s just a good burger. Same goes for Dogs, Dolphins, and Horses etc…
In US we associate the last 3 I mentioned as pets, professional work animals in comes cases thus the attitude that we should not eat them.
That’s not the case world over. As it’s not the case in US where vast majority of people eat Pigs and Cows. So yes they eat dogs, horses, dolphins in other nations so get over it. It’s not your country and they don’t follow the same set of values as you do. It does not make them any lesser just because they think differently.
I personally am a vegetarian (no fish) so deal with it !
The only dogs I will eat are hot"dogs" on "howl"-adays. I think eating a four-legged dog, would be kinda "ruff." For those of you that could do it, I take a "bow" and say "wow." I mean really, it would make our ancestors "roll-over" in their graves. I could not just "sit" or "stay" silent if it were going on around me.
De, you are right! People don't read carefully rough.
The story is there as a animal issue. Animals are a part of our lives here in the US. I will say I am glad it was posted. Korea is notorious for eating dogs and cats. Humane is not part of that equation.
Those of you who have eaten everything...do you want a award for it? Makes you a big man to eat a slaughtered dog or cat? Can you have better sex now? Being disgusting makes you gross, not manly.
Meat is meat, the diets of others vary from our own and some dogs in Korea are bred ESPECIALLY for consumption. People keep pigs as pets, people keep chickens as pets, frogs even. We still consume them, but typically the only ones we consume are bred for that consumption. If it's put in front of you, it's dead already, nothing can be done besides eating it. Some cultures even say that by eating a creature you gain it's power!

It's a cultural thing. I see no problem with it. An animal is an animal. In India, they believe cows to be sacred and not to be eaten.

Thanks I think we got it.. a little long but you made the point. I was thinking of becoming a member of Global Post and now this article pissed me off so much they lost me!
I don't eat dogs for the same reason I don't eat any animals. I don't judge others who eat meat, but for me it's the same thing.
You should really stand up against animal abuse. When you don't take a stand then you stand for nothing.
Animals can really use your voice to protect them from humans.
Would you of stood by, being "non-judgmental" when the Jews we're being tortured? Why is animal abuse any different?
do some research, watch the youtube videos of south korean dog and cat animal abuse and then tell me you can silently stand by and just watch.
the article said that was the whole point of the festival right? to legalize or at least bring dog meat to light so it can be better regulated?

Please stop this. If you don't, I'll kill your dog.
sorry Bruce The Muse :" – ) I don't even like dogs! ; – )
do bist eine sheissekopf
You are the absolute dumbest clown ever to post here, and I second that about your dog.
WE GET THE POINT.... ENOUGH ALREADY!
Where's the #*&#(&$ report abuse button?
Its wrong because if you loved it, it would die for you.
At the rate the Chinese population is growing and consuming world resources they'll be eating us before you know it.
General George Patton was right – A bomb them.
Again, proof that some dog-lovers display anti-social behavior and devalue human life. Sick, sick, sick.
The savage torture and killing of ANY animal cannot be justified, ever!!!!!!!
To all you "meat is meat" commenters, I know my dog would take a bullet for me. To brutalize the most bonded animal to humans in this way is beyond despicable. When you comment otherwise, I can see you don't have much value in one of the very few good and positive things about this world, the companionship that they have given us since the beginning of time. And this is their reward? Glad I don't know you.
Typical. I think it would be funny if your dog could talk, and asked what it thought about the claim that it would take a bullet for you, I bet it would give a funny reaction. Your dog likes you because it is dependent on you to feed and shelter it.
Enough of this moral relativism! It is just about cultural differences. Have you ever seen an assistance dog helping someone with a disability? Do you know how many lives these dogs have saved? Some of them are used to detect dangerous seizures in advance in their handlers and get help. There is a difference between eating dogs and eating cows. Cows don't share your home and take your child safely across the street if he is blind. The same goes for cats (yes, there are service cats!). Regardless, cows (and other farm animals) deserve to live in humane conditions.
Sorry, I meant to say it is NOT just about cultural differences.
Nikki, in some countries (including our own), pigs are raised as pets and are trained to help humans with disabilities and well as to other things, like sniff out truffles and bombs. Your logic completely FAILS. You're right, it's not about cultural differences, it's about ethnocentrism and ignorance.
There is no "merely" when it comes to culture. Culture is very important, especially when it comes to morality.
It is wrong to eat dogs in our culture because our culture has, over time and for whatever reasons, inculcated a very strong emotional attachment between dogs and humans. It is not wrong to eat cows because that same culture has not inculcated the same or similar attachment between cows and humans.
When we eat a dog in our culture, we do not do wrong by the dog. We do wrong by each other. We spit in the face of the very predictable emotional reaction of our fellow man when we eat a dog, or even when we advocate for the hypothetical eating of dogs as if they are not different (on this cultural/emotional level) from cows or pigs or fish.
Yes, it's a double standard. Of course it is. It is also a very predictable emotion when it comes to talking to people in our society. If you go up to someone and deliberately provoke a negative emotional reaction on any topic, knowing ahead of time you are going to create this reaction, then you do wrong by THEM and are guilty of unethical (and immoral) behavior.
Ah, yes, classic argument. Call people ethnocentric because they care about animals' rights. I've traveled all over the world and actually spent time with other cultures. And no, I didn't stay in nice hotels and watch TV and eat "American" food. I stayed in grass huts and immersed myself in their culture. I still care about dogs being eaten. Period. I also have many South Korean friends who wouldn't dream of eating dogs because of the aforementioned traits.
Nikki, I didn't call you ethnocentric...
I'm waiting for CNN to do a article about japan and whale meat to see if the comments are the same. ~_~
Of course it won't be the same. In spite of movies like "Free Willy" we haven't, as a culture, developed the same or even similar emotional attachments to whales as we have to dogs.

Shame on you Southeast Asians! eating dogs, snakes, rats..you name it. What the hell is that? Why can't you idiots work hard and grow agricultural produce and live on vegetarian diet? You lazy bums..you want to catch animals and have a free meal. In the history of mankind, no one ever died because of eating strict vegetarian diet.
A good portion of these places do not have a favorable climate and/or the land to sustain themselves on a vegetarian diet. Once the human race has evolved to the point where we are plant-like in our metabolisms, I'm sure your argument will be valid.
Someone should beat your bigoted skull in with a hammer. Is that what you get from this article, Asians are bad? Go burn a cross.
Dog is good, you guys should try some. Epitome of indifference. mmmmmmmm tasty.
Dog meat tastes good when roasted.
The fact that this question is even being asked shows what a sick, twisted, primitive society we still are. Shame on all you jokesters. You are all sick.
Dog is mans best friend why would we eat it I would rather starve than eat my best friend.........this story makes me want to vomit!
With everything that is going on in the US, how are you so sure that dogs and cats are not being served here in the US?
No wonder why those Chinese lunch specials are so cheap.
Why I never buy Korean cars.
They will eat anything they can stick a fork into
My Korean car stuck a fork in my dog, and then it ate it! He's right, Korean cars will eat anything.
puhahahahahahahahahaha
For every animal you don't eat im going to eat three.
Not sure what they think is wrong with killing dogs, PETA Kills Animals all the time!!
http://www.google.com/search?ie=UTF-8&q=peta%20kills%20animals
At least the folks over there are eating them, rather than simply tossing them in a dumpster!!
Ok folks we do not eat humans why? One reason isl simply out of self-preservation and good taste. Of all the creatures of this earth humanity possess certain abilities like the ability to realize hey I do not want to eat someone like myself or be eaten for that matter.As I respect my body/mind/spirit I respect the rights of others and hold humanity in proper regard not as livestock. ( lol I have to laugh as this should not even be defended but obvious to all but morons)
Dogs like cats are not simply domesticated they are our pets. Pets unlike any other, we have bread them trained them lived with them as part of our families for many many generations past. They not only rely on us (like barn animals) but are part of our families etc.and trust us unlike any other creature. We do not eat them as their place in our household, history and hearts is like no other simple... And if you enjoy eating them on one hand and still treat them as family on the other I think that speaks to the poverty of one's soul/spirit.
The funny thing is, cats are smart enough not to need you, or absolutely require your affection although they are appreciative of it.
spin it any way you want partner. dogs are easier to raise, cheaper and more efficient than cows or pigs. (and honestly i'd take a fat porkchop over a steak any day.)
the fact that there are domesticated dogs is beside the point. the dogs on the farm aren't domesticated and they are'nt a companion of any form. not to say they can't be. a cow, pig or bug can be domesticated and become pets.
I guess you need to take a close look at dogs I know of few that have not encountered the hand of man either through successive years of breeding or as a pet. Farm dogs typically are working dogs more part of the family than you are pointing out. So no spin here just pointing out key differences
Of course you are talking about the Dogs who are farmed for food. But how do you know they could not be the pets we all come to love? They are breed from the same stock ,,,
Why could it not be cow, pig or bug? Of all three a pig is the closest animal that possess sufficient intelligence to be even similar to a dog with other features that might make them compatible as domesticated family pets. But their utility and use is lacking unlike working dogs and pigs in general offer less companionship ( personal opinion), mobility etc. than dogs. You seem to forget that dogs were bred first and foremost as working animals of intelligence and purpose and as such fit man best or like few others (Horses and cats come to mind) . This speaks to years of interaction, years of breeding. You should read up on these things to see the point I am making. It does not deny other animals as pets but speaks to a special place for dogs (not easily ignored).
That's a mighty modest proposal there, slick.
I can see the Korean's point. The dumbest animal being the dog. Makes for a good meal.
Here's the dumb test,
The darn animal licks anything.
Would continue chasing cars even after being hit by one.
Lengthy pause after "Bow" while it tries to remember "Wow"
Well 'yummy' I know you are not a canine. They are entirely to intelligent for you!
The problem I have with it is that we've domesticated dogs so that they need human companionship. Cows don't care if they're ignored by a dispassionate farmer, dogs do. It's not the fact that they die that bothers me (although it does a bit), what bothers me is the thought of farms of dogs in cages being ignored or mistreated when all they want is to be loved.
We eat cows that disgusts Indians. Should they make complaints to make a stop beef auction houses in Texas?
In England they eat faggots. It must be stopped!
I tell my dog he's going to the Korean restaurant when he's being bad.
So long as you don't take him/her there...... lol
Yes your dog is male. However I wanted to cover all possibilities for the readers here at CNN just in case they get any ideas.
Wrong is subjective. I think eating ANY animal is unnecessary. I admit that I would be first in line to eat dog, pig, chicken or eel if it was crucial for my survival, but it's not. Sure, a dog steak may be tasty, but it is unfathomable to most people in the US. because it's cruel. Than again, I think it's cruel to eat a cow. Unnecessary. But poor people will eat anything and I don't fault them for it. I'd rather the world swing towards feeding the poor with things that are healthy & less meat- of any kind – is better.
In the USA we euthanise millions of dogs every year. Why worry about putting them to good use like eating them? Dog are not that desirable as pets anyway. There are many, many drawbacks to owning a dog.
there's nothing wrong with this..... they brought up these dogs for meat on a farm. if this is wrong then its wrong for chickens, cows, goats, deer, fish, bugs and plants also... yep people have pet plants....
just because you can't stand thinking of fido as your next meal doesn't mean that everyone should think of you.
There's a big problem there with people killing and eating stolen pets. It's not just the "farmed" dogs.
It's sick to even publish this story!!!! CNN you disgust me!!!!!
I guess I could use all of the cat recipes and adapt them to dog. Puppy on a stick with a sweet sour sauce anyone?
CNN and Emily Lodish? To even post an article like this? Disgusting and offensive. This isn't "news" or "reporting". What's wrong with you?
The rest of us think it is. I'd rather know things then not know them. Get lost.
Yeah, you and the voices in your head, ie. the rest of us. *eyeroll*
KC, go back to Nazi Germany where you belong. We actually value our freedoms here in America regardless of your precious morals or beliefs.
Just more arrogance of imposing one culture upon another. So what if they eat dogs? Quit humanizing the animals. Most of the same people whining about the culture of another country not being like their own are the same ones living in countries in which the lower classes of their society are treated worse than dogs. Most need just to grow up and worry about more important things in the world right now. If some culture eats dogs, cats, or whales and have been doing so for generations, who are we to dictate otherwise?
Andrew I understand with what you are saying about imposing culture, and on a lot of things I agree that westerners look down on far too much in the "other" parts of the world, however, there are basic guidelines and actions that cannot be condoned by simply hiding behind the "it's my cultural activity, deal with it" mentality.
Nobody is "imposing" anything on another culture. The article is about how LOCAL groups are getting in the way of dog-meat agriculture. This isn't some US-based NGO getting in the way.
The fact is that the Korean and Chinese and other Asian cultures are CHANGING because their economies are creating a larger middle class that is increasingly taking dogs and cats in as pets. Over time, this set of economics will produce a similar culture that opposes the eating of dogs in the east just as it does in the west.
As for the rest of us, voicing a very predictable visceral and emotional reaction to the idea of eating dogs is very unsurprising, and moreover it is not at all anything resembling cultural imperialism. It's just people giving voice to a very predictable emotional reaction to the idea of eating dogs.
i agree andrew... to all the whiners on here complaining. "who the heck are you to say anything?" and "nobody said YOU had to eat it"
There is a spiritual, emotional, and symbiotic bond and partnership between humans and dogs that goes back for a vast majority of human evolution. Eating them violates everything we are as human beings.
They fought saber-toothed tigers side by side with us, and stood up to wolves and lions because we asked them to. We owe them for their service to us.
Hey "True Dog Lover". Enough with the stupid SPAMMING.... If anything it makes you look like a bloody fool and makes people hate your cause. Please act like a member of the human race that deserves at least some respect.
You know, there are times of necessity, when none of us would question eating much of anything. Those times undoubtedly lead to cultural norms that carry into times when necessity is no longer the driving factor. The South Korean people probably don't need to eat dog just like I don't need to eat beef (I do though). That being said, we should at least consider that the cow we eat or the dog someone else eats would not have been subjected to a less-than-natural lifecycle if we didn't create the market demand for it. Maybe eating dog, cow, pig, etc is not wrong but NOT eating to eliminate your impact is truly right. I wonder if St.Francis was a vegitarian?
The fact is that we think eating dogs is wrong because we were brought up to believe that. Other societies think we're crazy for letting "filthy animals" on our sofas and in our beds. Those are facts. You can say "wrong is wrong" all you want but it doesn't change anything.
Other societies would never eat animals that we eat all the time, like cows.
The end truth is that morality is what you're taught. There's no such thing as "wrong is wrong" or "right is right" outside your cultural context. That's why in America eating pigs is okay and eating dogs isn't. It has nothing to do with their intelligence level, it's purely our made up rules.
Hey Dave
I have never heard of a society where killing anyone you like (including yourself) is legal why is that? Perhaps we do grow to depend on each other as child to his mother and father and these bonds create principles that are cross cultural. Perhaps Who is to say that genetics plays no role that the soul or spirit is not connected in some greater understanding did you ever read books that speak to the role of natural law, genetics, spirituality, conscience, subconscious, or even one book on ethics etc... for instance? Probably not but you should to have a truly informed opinion one way or another. If you are now upset let me add to boldly claim such an absolute when denying absolutes simply speaks volumes. Dave how would you know? Are you God ?
Joe Peterson,
If you have quality evidence that morals come from genetics or some cosmic spiritual bond, please let me know. Until then, I'm going to stick with my claim that it comes from society because it's provable and it explains a lot (such as the issues raised by this article). It doesn't make me god and it doesn't make me right, but it's the best and most realistic answer I know of.
Hi Dave,
I am not denying the role of culture or environment but to say their is a balance. Have you ever read Joseph Campbell. How he finds threads in myth tying many diverse cultures and peoples spread far and wide (no contact) with common themes that express common morality, concerns, and cares? Have you ever read Karl Jung or a host of others who offer interesting thoughts and facts on the matter? Or have you considered how a mother is drawn to care for her baby and how that child requires years of care and how this is common to all men? Or how this and other factors molds a life into a human culture that supersedes individual cultures? I am not questioning the basic idea that environment has a strong influence but to say other factors are true as well. and to say that no commonality exists is just short sided. Please if you wish I can give you a list of books and/or examples. But if you are the same Dave in a later post who stated that no one learns anything by such posts what would be the profit?
Hi Dave,
If you are the same person I responded to in a later post I see that you appear to be reasonable when confronted with a genuine thought. Sometimes I play the same role for fun. The two men I listed are interesting men of some note (a mythologist made popular by his PBS appearances and of course one of the founding fathers of psychology). As I am leaving now I hope that you would spend the time to see the other side to the equation . I realized a while back that simple answers do not come easy .. And I do see the strong influence of the environment no doubt but working in the mental health field for a while also has taught me that the physical mind is powerful influence on behavior and we have yet to really understand our own minds of course that is true on so many levels.. lol
Good night.
Dog burgers are delicious! Also have you tried Poodle? Almost the same as a retriever. Boiling dog is good, just like you would a lobster. So many dishes to decide! dog-burger, dog-stu, dog and potatatoes, there's uhm dog kabob, dog-creo, dog-jumbo, dog-stir fried, deep fried, there's lemon pepper dog, and also a hot dog-dog!
If you eat any meat, you dont have any right to condemn this. In Hindu countries, Cow is worshiped and considered as second mother as many kids are raised on cow's milk, but, can America imagine living without beef??? Its just the cultural diffrence between countries – accept it.
Personally, I find this disgusting and would never do it, however to them it is normal. By the way to the person who posted the you are rich Americans with lattes comment, I am not rich and do not buy designer coffees. Nor would I, in this culture, tell the homeless or very poor to go eat dog. That is stupid. As is the poster who keeps putting in the addresses to email the article. Every culture has things others find abhorrent. Doesn't mean we shouldn't know about them. Doesn't mean we'll adopt their habits. Now, go hug your dog and ignore the idiots.
Incidentally, we allow thousands of dogs to be slaughtered in pounds on a daily basis and most people don't even care. So killing them is a forgettable act as long as we don't eat them?
I don't think this is a good article at all.. way too controversial... And as a vegan, animal rights activist, and dog owner, I don't think that your closing argument of "since we don't do it here doesn't mean it's not ok" is very professional. There are millions in this terrible world who don't eat any meat period, for the reason that animals are sentient beings. Humans are terribly misinformed on what they NEED to eat... Meat is not something people NEED.
I'm not even going to read any of the comments here, but watch the vegetarians try to turn this into a don't eat meat forum. Self-righteous losers.
Oh, I'd NEVER say I don't eat MEAT. Tee hee hee.
I do love them hotdog dog's!
What they did not mention in the article is that dogs can be severely beaten before they are killed in order to "tenderize the meat". I seem to recall stories supporting that fact before the 2006 World Cup in Korea & 2008 Beijing Olympics. These shamefull human activities are on the same scale of herding dolphins & whales for slaughter in Japan as well as beating defenseless baby fur seals in Canada. Sorry, but different cultures on this planet have a proclivity with inhumane tratement of animals – even here. You know that everyone in the USA turns a blind eye to the Amish & Mennonite communities who generate hard $ from dirty puppy mills on their farms – with poor breeding bitches abused to raise litter after litter in terrible living conditions. Lastly, all of you nutter wack jobs out there should be ashamed of your nasty & cowardly third-person comments in the shadow of a blog.
Thanks Emily Lodish, you wrote an article based on shallow facts. It's a fact the number of South Koreans who accept the idea of eating dogs have gone down drastically in the past decade. Thanks a lot.
This article horrified me. I have a Hyundai and I feel like taking it out and dumping it off a cliff. I will never buy a Korean product again until they ban this disgusting activity.
Before you dump it, have it checked out to see where the leather came from for those leather seats?? woof!!
Bear meat is tender and succulent.
I started reading some of the comments here, and got so frustrated that I stopped. The last one I read was from a woman named Libby. Libby says her two dogs are smarter than the children she teaches. They are so smart, in fact, that it would be "gross" to eat them. Yet she still eats meat. Why can't she see the blatant hypocrisy in that statement? If intelligence is the qualifier in deciding who deserves compassion and who gets eaten, then I've got a surprise for her. Pigs are way further up the intelligence scale than dogs, ranking only behind humans, primates and dolphins. And humans only rank first here because they are the ones who decided how intelligence is measured. Where do you think we might rank had a pig created the scale? Society has conditioned us to believe farm animals are stupid, dirty, and deserving of being brutally treated, brutally slaughtered, and cut into little pieces for humans to eat. If you believe it's wrong to eat dogs, you are a hypocrite if you think iut's okay to eat other animals.
Lots of people have pigs as pets – yet we still eat pigs. I really comes down to cultural apects. In India they won't eat cows – not problem eating cow here. It is currently against the law in all 50 states to sell dog meat or to kill dogs for meat – so this isn't even as issue in the United States. As far as the rest of the world – well they make their own culture and law so if you are against dog meat don't eat it when in or don't visit countries that allow dog meat.
Opportunity!! Opportunity!!!
Where's your capitalist hat???
I hear we have millions of strays here..
Time to start a dog catcher business and ship to Korea...
Have containers will ship!!!
woof, woof..
I lived in Korea back in the early 90's. I went to a restaurant out in the country where they had dogs corralled and tied up tightly in dirty, muddy pens, ready for someone to order Gaegogi. The dogs in the pens instinctively knew I was NOT a dog eater so they were all howling and begging me (in their own way) to be freed from their inescapable, certain and horrific demise. There are several things that are different when comparing eating dogs to eating cows, pigs and chickens. First is that Dogs are descended from a top predator animal and a carnivore. However the wolf became domesticated, it is clear that it was NOT for meat. Rather it was most likely domesticated for protection and its usefulness in hunting NON-predatory herbivores. Dogs have not been bred over the last 10’s of thousands of years, as cows and pigs have, to be slaughtered for their meat or milked. Dogs have “evolved” through deliberate, selective breeding (for the most part) to be companions, protectors and guides. Their bodies, brains and mannerisms are geared for mutually beneficial partnerships with humans. Cows and pigs etc. for the most part, have never assisted humans in any way close to the dogs have. Second is the manner in which dogs are slaughtered for their meat. Fortunately, I never witnessed this “ritual”, but another American I worked with when I was there did. He said that when it’s time to harvest the meat, so to speak, they drag the dog out and tie its feet up. All the while beating the dog mercilessly. Then they hang the dog upside down by its bound hind legs and beat it some more. Then, before it dies, they peel its skin off. They say that they do this because it causes the dog to release adrenaline into its muscles, making the meat sweeter and giving more “vitality” (like Viagra) to the man eating the meat. And they do this in front of the other dogs. It’s brutal no matter how you look at it. It’s horrible to treat any living, feeling, thinking creature like this, whether you’re a vegetarian or not. But it is worse when it is an animal that is traditionally our trusted companion. That’s why it is also strange and uncommon to eat horse meat. Because they have been valuable companions and workers over the eons of Humankind’s existence. Arguably, we wouldn’t have not have come this far without their help, trust and companionship. Pigs, chickens and sheep do not have the same instinct or intellect to be helpful partners. They have been bred for and exist almost exclusively to provide a food source. They are generally unintelligent and do not crave for or yearn to be at our side, or to have us pet them and scratch their bellies. Yes, some cows do work. But not eagerly and not to win our praise or approval, they do it because we make them do it. There is a huge difference. I came to understand there was only one reason people (men) eat dogs in Korea. Because it “makes you strong in bed”. Not because it’s an essential part of the diet or because other food is scarce. Simply for some bizarre and baseless belief that you’ll be better in bed. I tend to believe that one of the unspoken reasons they do it is that they “get off” on beating the sh1t out of the animals because it gives them a masochistic sense of power and dominance. It’s disgusting.
I am glad you enlightened people on exactly HOW this is done. Your entire response to this article is accurate, horrible, and a terrible reality that people who talk about it have NO idea about. I hope they read what you wrote. Too many things happen in the most horrible way to animals, and everyone has a "i don't want to know about it" attitude so THEY feel better.. this isn't about people..
Who cares how it's done...that's what you have to do to make money...make your meat taste better. You might say you'd rather die than eat your dog, but the fact that you even think that, is a lie.
Dummass "Dog is yummy" can't read. They don't kill them that way because they can charge more or make more money. They do it because they think it works like Viagra. Idiot.
I can assure you that I would DIE before eating my pets. How dare you insult the majority of posters by saying we are lying by saying we would die before eating our dogs (or cats). My pets (both cats and dogs) have saved my life. I would happily risk my life to save theirs if it ever came to that. I also realize that Asians do not eat their pets but typically eat dogs/cats that were bred for consumption. I have a fried who used to eat dog. Aside from the fact that cats and dogs are companion animals my biggest problem with eating cats and dogs is how they are TORTURED before they are brutally murdered just to make the meat tastier and to give the pathetic men more stamina in bed. If these men need to resort to eating tortured dogs to be good in bed they must be TERRIBLE lovers and no amount of aphrodisiacs will ever be able to help them.
I've got news for you. It's not strange or unusual for people to eat horse. Until a couple years ago, horse slaughter for human consumption was occurring in the US. The meat was shipped overseas.
Did I say unusual? No. I said, stange and uncommon. Close, but not exact. Suffice it to say that it is FAR LESS common, and yes UNUSUAL for humans to eat horse meat. Especially compared to the quantity of OTHER MEAT. Regardless of that FACT, the important points I made in my post are not diminished by your pointless and incorrect interpretation of one small sentence.
If God didn't want humans to eat animals, He wouldn't have made them out of meat. I'd eat dog, horse, giraffe, etc. if I were given the chance, just to try it once. I wouldn't slaughter someone's pet for that, though.
Also, @David Crandall - I'm sure there are many drawbacks to owning any animal as a pet. Dogs cannot be singled out in this manner.
Actually, if you're going to bring God into the picture, that argument doesn't hold up. God identified the types of animal that were acceptable as food and said all others were not. Dog and horse would not be considered "clean" enough to eat. Not sure about giraffe.
Doggy taco's with tabasco FTW!
It's morally wrong to eat dogs for a couple reasons. 1. Dogs aren't a natural species. They were developed from Wolves by humans as a companion and worker breed, not as food. 2. They're meat eaters. What other mammal do we eat that eats meat?
How can eating an animal not be moral? What a dummy!
Bunch of stereotypical rednecks saying its despicable. I dare you to come out of that bubble you live in and think outside the box about what others are thinking about on what you just wrote. Judging upon people that you don't have any connection with what so ever, talking about how you shouldn't buy Korean products....PATHETIC fascists.
I would not eat dog meat unless it was vitally necessary for survival, but that's just my own personal morality. I don't feel others should be forced to share my same sentiment.
All animals are without reason (no conscience or awareness) and therefore edible. Don't compare humans to animals because humans did not evolve from animals nor did animals evolve from rocks.
Ignorance is alive and well...
Truth of the matter is I can sit here and write an essay on all the reasons why it is acceptable to eat or not eat dog meat, but one fact remains the same.. Norms which guide proper or acceptable behavior are different in all nations. Unlike other nations, the U.S.A. is the epitome of a melting pot. Not everyone will agree on what is right and wrong since everyone has different views. We can agree that dogs are viewed as mascots not livestock, therefore as in other countries where certain animals are considered sacred or are not eaten, I believe the norm in the U.S.reveres dogs as a mascot and nothing more.
I'm a vegetarian and eat no meat whatsoever. However, I find it infinitely annoying when non-vegetarians complain about the inhumanities and insensitivities of eating dog meat when they'll happily consume cow, chicken, pig, and turkey meat with no consideration for how those animals are brutally raised and slaughtered. It seems that the dogs being raised for meat are in somewhat better conditions than what we have over here. Obviously I think eating all meat is wrong, but people who criticize this practice and eat McDonalds are absolute hypocrites.
Amen!
Dog has been eaten in China and Korea in ancient times, long before Western countries started domesticating them, and before most of the world began thinking it was "wrong." Even today, most of the dogs that are bred and eaten in Korea resemble wolves–NOT your typical golden retriever or bulldog. In Korean people's minds, there is a clear distinction between dogs that are bred solely for consumption and medicinal purposes and dogs that are kept as pets. They certainly don't decide to kill their house pets one day and eat them, and they don't see a passing stray dog as potential food. It's kind of analogous to birds or rabbits in American culture I guess. We eat certain birds but keep other kinds as pets (like parrots). Tons of Americans (esp. in the South) eat rabbit meat, but there are also those who raise them as pets and would probably frown on eating them.
And remember that dog meat has been eaten in other places in the past–France, Germany, and some Latin American countries. Cats are still eaten in some parts of Switzerland and Italy today, but I don't really see people criticizing them. And many of these countries eat food that Koreans would consider disgusting or borderline wrong (like horse meat).
Dog meat is still served in Korea today b/c people say it boosts energy, stamina, and your immune response. I've never tried it myself, but I've even met expats in Korea who've eaten it and say the same thing. Don't judge until you've actually tried it.
Many Koreans seem to have this belief that the best medicine is found in nature, that God provided us with everything we would need on this earth. And sometimes when I look at my fellow Americans who are popping pills on a regular basis and going to their pharmacists for 10 prescription refills, I do wonder if that's true...
They resemble wolves? Funny, in the photo, they resemble retrievers.
The ones I saw in Korea did, and that's what I've been told by a lot of people there too. The dogs are huge and very muscular–kinda intimidating, if you ask me, but I guess that's so b/c they're bred that way. The photo is of dogs in China, but I guess there could be ones that look like that in Korea too (which is why I said "most"). But in any case, I'm of the opinion that we have no right to judge other cultures based on our own beliefs and practices.
You are clearly ignorant on this subject. "Long before" western countries began domesticating......blah blah.....you say? Prove it. There is evidence of dogs being domesticated long before humans even made it out of Africa, let alone as far as Asia. Dogs have been hanging around with humans since the stone age you nitwit. And the dogs they eat in Korea do NOT resemble wolves at all, other than being canines. They actually look much more like a Bull Mastiff than anything else. They're big, (waste high or bigger) and shorthaired, like a greyhound. I should know, I've seen them in pens in Korea. Get your facts straight. Men eat it because they think it works like Viagra.
NO.... DOG MEAT WILL NOT GET YOU STAMIA OR MAKE YOUR PENIS LARGER. THE DOGS ARE TORTURED BEFORE THEY ARE KILLED!!! WATCH THE VIDEO ON DOG MARKETS IN KOREN ON YOU TUBE AND YOU WILL SEE FOR YOURSELF!!! EATING DOG OR CAT IS JUST PLAIN CRUEL
EATING DOG MEAT IS CRUEL!!!
EATING DOG MEAT IS CRUEL!!!
People eat chicken, ducks, turkeys, etc. Yet there are some species of birds like Parrots that no one would consider eating and in fact some parrots are exceptionally intelligent and can speak back to people, and built arguably better bonds with people than a dog can. However, people will continue to eat birds. If you truly love dogs, you should not eat any meat.
That's what I'm saying. 100% agree!
Did some parrot tell you all this? Don't believe it.
ever try dog chow? i mean dog chow-mein?
Why don't we mind our own business and let people eat what they want? I don't come down on vegetarians for eating poor defenseless plants. The Question here is "where is the line?" It varies with different situations. Just because we are at the top of the food chain, doesn't mean we should eat everything below us on it, but if there is nothing else to eat, sorry Fido. I say eat what you kill, and kill what you eat including plants. Then we will have a better appreciation for what ends up on our plates.
There are those who believe that all non-human life on earth is here to support human civilization. They believe that humans deserve preference over all other life forms. This is why we are seeing the rapidly accelerating destruction of the natural world, as this illogical and anthropocentric point of view is combined with rapidly increasing human population (for which we ARE NOT YET taking responsibility). In the end, this will be very bad for human civilization, and cause unimaginable human suffering.
In reality, dogs want to live their lives as much as I do. They love their young and they love other members of their "pack," be they dogs or humans. They deserve better than to be treated as inanimate objects, living short, miserable lives solely for human consumption. Do they deserve to be treated as well as other humans? Of course, many humans will say "no." Could this be because of a gross human bias?
If I were looking at earth from an objective point of view, and concerned about the destruction of ALL LIFE equally, and not biased to one species over another, I would have to say the humans are the most destructive species of all, both to other humans and to all other species. Unchecked, we are going to kill ourselves, and a lot of other species, to boot. So who is going to check us, if it isn't us?
I believe that humans can live on this world and DO MUCH BETTER than that. Humans definitely have that capability. Some will say that will never happen. But is that really a good excuse for not doing what we know is right? Every religion in the world tells use exactly the opposite. So why not go for a better world? It can only happen one person at a time.
Love is an emotion only humans have you dummy.
I never thought I would do this – but this is going to far – lets stick to the basic:
“Speak to the people of Israel, saying, These are the living things that you may eat among all the animals that are on the earth. Whatever parts the hoof and is cloven-footed and chews the cud, among the animals, you may eat."
Ugh! Really? You're going to quote the f-ing Christian Bible? What other moronic propaganda do you want to spout forth from?
So then it's ok to eat Palestinans?
There is nothing wrong with eating a dog. I just don't believe it will taste very good.
Asians will eat anything, even poop.
Heck, I eat it myself.
The Japanese have actually found a way to extract protein from sewage to make an edible meatlike substance.
For the love of God, everything is wrong with this "ideal". I encourages wrong, breeding for the wrong reason ($$), killing for the wrong reason ($$), not loving and caring for the wrong reason ($$), offer of acceptance for the wrong reason ($$). God did not give us love to not love. God gave us a heart that his larger than life-earth combined, it should be our only reason to know that this is wrong. All life is important and should be valued at all cost. We should never "think" it is right to take a life, any life, we should feel the pain. If we do not, then we are no longer hu-man and no longer the walking love that is our birth-right. Our connection is lost with creation.
Welcome to my new Frachise... KFD..
Korean Fried Dog
I once ate a mix of a bull dog and a shitzhu. Man that was bull-sh1t.
I say let's dogs eat humans if they want
That would even things out
If someone had not 'tamed' a timber wolf many centuries ago, we would not have the domesticated dog today. Someone shoud 'tame' the chickens, fish, cows, pigs, sheep, goats, tuna, etc., then they would all be in the same
catagory. Edible.
In a more perfect world humans would not eat any other sentient animals except in the most extreme situation. Dogs are most certainly sentient. Culture or Tradition does not ever justify continuing something that is inherently wrong. A few hundred years ago in France cildren as young as 10 years old were sent to the gallows to be hung for stealling food. We would like to believe that societies will evolve for the better over time. The only other options are stagnation or regression.
Eh, it's more of the fact that we have emotional attachments for certain animals, and it comes down to culture. Would I eat a dog? Sure, only for survival.
I think everyone here is missing the point. No one, EVER, in the history of comments left after web-based news articles, has successfully changed another readers mind. EVER!!!! Is there anyone out there who really thought they'd post their brilliant, previously unheard or imagined point of view, and the other party would respond with something like "oh my God, you are so right, I never thought of it that way before. You have completely changed my way of thinking about this issue"...It'll never happen, it's never happened.
The bottom line is everyone has their own opinion, almost everyone thinks their's is correct and the other guy is a fill in the blank. I believe that's how most religious wars have started..Trying to convince others to "see it your way", the only difference being those were at the tip of a sword.
I'll end by saying I find it hilarious that some of the extreme dog lovers that have posted here threatened violence against other PEOPLE to protect an animal. I'm betting these people consider themselves gentle souls as they look out for animals that depend on us for compassion etc. That's the logic that has people blowing up abortion clinics and killing doctors, who are someone's father or mother, to protect the unborn..Backwards, twisted logic.. You betcha!!
Enjoy... and let the attacks on me begin...
Noe one has ever changed their mind based on in" comments left after web-based news article" Another absolute Dave ? lol . What proof have to offer? No proof to offer? Man for a guy who thinks all things are relative you sure believe in a number of absolute facts lol You are funny Dave......
Joe, point taken..Has it ever happened? I don't know. Based on the exchanges I see on these boards I think it is highly unlikely and if has, it has to be rare for sure. People tend to come into these discussions with their positions pretty entrenched, so I don't see many people changing their minds, especially for the more passionatte issues.
I only stated it that way to try and illustrate the futility of everyone on this board yelling back and forth in an attempt to sway the other party's opinion..
Absolutes are rare. People who get that are rarer still
Good feedback..
Hi Dave,
I understand and do apologize if I had been a bit strong in my statements. I do learn when someone posts ideas that I have not heard of before that is if they warrant it . It does not mean I trust what they say all the time but I do try to look into the facts and confirm or deny them. .If found true then I learn even here from time to time. So I guess I might be one example though I will agree most things posted here do not pass for thoughts just regurgitated opinion a talking mouth.
Millions of dogs are killed at animal shelters every year.
I smell an export opportunity
While I think of a slaughterhouse that is slaying dogs and I think that is mean, who are we to tell certain Asian countries not to eat dog?
Let's reverse this scenario - if India protested against eating cows, would we do it as a culture? Would everyone here stop eating cows because India objects?
There are far more important ways to spend our time, such as gettiing the democrats and republicans out of US offices and bringing in honest parties!
How can anyone eat and abuse man's best friend?
"To them, dogs are companions not a main course, end of story."
I consider myself a human lover. If i was offered to eat human flesh, i'll have it baked..RUN STUPID CORPSE MUNCHERS ... RUN !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
All your posts seem to be about cannibalism. You aren't insane, are you?
A vegetarian, a meat-eater, and a cannibal walk into a bar, the veg' orders a salad, the other orders a burger, than the bartender asks the cannibal "anything for you?", so he replies, "no thanks, i'll wait till they're done."
9 out of 10 cannibals agree–vegetarians taste better! I follow a strict vegan diet** I eat only vegans.
i If animals aren't supposed to be eaten, then why are they made out of meat?
If humans aren't supposed to be eaten, then why are they made out of meat?
Funny that people here are so offended at the thought of eating dog meat that they would call it morally wrong. Its thier culture and who are we to say that it's wrong or immoral? In Western culture it's perfectly acceptable to raise cows for consumption. If you posted this on an Indian site, where the cow is sacred, I'm sure you could easily replace the words DOG with COW and you would find the same responses. But Americans would be all offensive and try and defend their beef eating ways. Step outside your shoes people, just because YOU don't like it or its not culturally acceptable in your area, don't give harsh judgement on others where it's part of their culture. Happy 4th, let the charring of cow flesh waift through the winds of the USA this weekend.
Chach, thank you for putting the true horror of this practice in full black & white visual. Again, shame on the cranks who make nasty & raunchy comments from the shadows of the Internet & Blogosphere because they don't identify themselves and can just say anything ... cowards. No wonder this country is going down the tubes from an un-educated & ignorant society that does not take responsibility for their actions or hate speech.
Hypocrites! If you are offended by breeding one animal for food, why not others? Because you have a pet dog? And yet, I'll bet most of those upset by dog meat will think nothing about eating a hamburger or chicken for dinner.
I too do not like that some people breed and kill dogs for food, but that is their culture. I'll simply stay away. I also don't like the idea of breeding and killing chickens, cows, pigs, lambs, turkeys, etc. for food, either, and after 35 years as a vegetarian, I don't really miss them. But if you like eating such animals, go ahead. Just don't criticize others for their food choices.
Whats wrong with it? A dog is a loving, intelligent creature, that's whats wrong. They may not be as "intelligent" as us, but so what? And dont give me the chicken, cow argument. They are not domesticated, loving animals that millions of people have taken into our homes and treat like members of our family. Hypothetical: if an alien race lands here and is super-intelligent compared to us, and enjoys human meat every now and then, whats wrong with them eating us as a delicacy? To them, we are stupid creatures, and they harvest us humanely and sanitarily?? Whats the difference? Why should they care and why is it morally wrong?
Steve, please you really need to justs some research, watch the videos of animal torture something that you support when you buy meat. Please, make the effort instead of blindly walking thru life hurting animals out of ignorance.
Don't give me the aliens argument
That's been done before...see The Twilight Zone, "To Serve Man"
Dogs have been evolved from wolves to be a companion to man. If pigs had been evolved in place of dogs, we would not eat them. Evolution is the reason we shouldn't eat them. Dogs have evolved to be our friends, not to be eaten.
I'm probably as much of a dog lover as one can be. However, people need to realize that pigs that we eat daily, are many times smarter than any dog in the world. I would never be able to eat a dog, but just because we are accustomed to eating pork and beef, doesn't make that immoral as well. No I am not a vegan or a vegetarian. I love my steak.
very hypocritical of you to say you love dogs and then support the torture and slaughter of meat.
"I love my meat" mean while animals are tortured and suffer for months so you can "love your meat" Nice all right.
Shows your level of evolvement or lack.....
all you have to do is look at the face of the dog in the photo above to know why eating dogs is wrong.
God you people know how to get away from the topic at hand. People are barbarians. For those of you who think eating dog is acceptable, you're just not evolved, your true nature is nasty, it's evil, its twisted, you have nothing good about you. Many Asian cultures, like this, eat anything with a face, and so no wonder so many diseases come out of that continent. The lack of humane treatment of all animals that they breed in Asia disgusts me to no end – I hope you all end up on hell's barbecue, doused in soy sauce – and go through as much pain as these animals do. Largely your culture disgusts me in this self serving clueless so called culinary respect, and breeding like rabbits, you have spread it right across the world, because the true primitive nature of many other culture when it boils down to it, obviously from the comments here, allows it. It's not alright to eat any animal incidentally – your'e nothing but Neanderthals living under the guise of civility and evolution. So-called humanity makes me sick. All of you here, who think it is alright to eat dog, an animal, that has largely been bred for domestic joy, make me SICK. Karma will get you.
Wait, are you trying to talk us out of eating dogs? We aren't eating dogs, and we don't think it's alright. Some people are having fun with the concept and proposing recipes and stuff, but we don't eat dog in this country. Calm down, you are going off on people who agree with you.
As I said, I am going off on anyone here who thinks this practise is alright, and with respect,I don't know what country you're in, but one just needs to go into Chinatown in most cities in the country I'm in to see that they do indeed eat dog there, and many other species too, and they don't give a second thought to the fact that these animals have gone through pain and suffering just to end up in their bellies. I'm going off on the way these animals are held in captivity, treated, abused and the people who can look in their eyes and have absolutely no emotion for what that animal has gone through. Its alright, as long as the person doesn't feel pain, hunger, captivity – the first to complain and run off to the doctor if they somehow get a tiny little ailment. As I said, THOSE people, many of whom I have read here feel it is alright to make smart remarks about this tragedy, are joking about it and agreeing with it. I suggest you read through more of the comments, because there is a large percentage of those people. Animals can't talk, so no, I can't calm down about it, where I ca, I will voice it for them.
Hey Alien do you eat cows? Do you know that Karma is originally a Hindu principle? Do you know that Hindu find eating cows one of the worst things that any human can do? if you eat cow meat I think that you are the one that karma will get before coming to dog eaters .....
Why shouldn't we eat dogs? How about because they're altruistic? Casting aside that little fact, how about the fact that when they were first domesticated it was for protection and companionship, not food? Seems to me our dog eating friends have forgotten these two little facts. Then again, the Donner Party ate thier kin so who are we to judge, right?
Taste like Chicken
What's wrong with consumption? Nothing but what is wrong is the inhumane treatment the animal receives. Why is it right for someone to brutally kill an animal because they feel the adrenaline makes the meat better? This article should look at more than just the moral dilemma of eating a companion. We all know much more goes on in the practice of eating dog.
When you're born into this dominant, carnistic culture, you inevitably absorb the system’s logic as your own. In other words, we learn to see the world through the lens of carnism. Carnism conditions us to disconnect psychologically and emotionally from the truth of our experience when we eat meat (and other animal products). It allows us to disconnect the meat on our plate from the living being it once was. When people sit down to a plate of beef stew, they're not thinking about the cow that it came from. They're not saying, "I'm eating a dead animal." They're saying, "I'm eating food," and therefore they're feeling no disgust. However, if that same person were fed a guinea pig or swan, they would likely not be able to help but envision a living being, and feel repulsed eating that animal. Stop supporting violence of sentient beings, go veg!
I think you are way over-psychoanalyzing this. When I eat chicken, I know it's chicken and I call it chicken. I've plucked them and cut them up plenty of times, and I tell you, a chicken is absolutely no use for anything except food. They make awful noises, they stink, and they are stupid. I don't think they enjoy being alive. Pigs are too intelligent and I don't think we should eat them, but cows are just dumb lumps. Honey, both swan and guinea pig are eaten as food animals, and if you google "peru guinea pig festival' you may have to go sit down for a while. Swan is supposedly really tasty. All life feeds on life at some level; even vegetarians must have fertilizer.
If you took a cross-section of Americans and you asked them if their value system supported intensive, extensive, and completely unnecessary violence toward other sentient beings, of course they would tell you no. And yet at the same time these very people—just like I had done when I was younger—enable such violence on a daily basis by eating meat. Not only that, but many of them get angry if you try to shed light on where their meat originates—just telling people you're vegan can sometimes inspire hostility. That’s because people know, on some level, that animal agriculture is horrific but support it anyway. By raising awareness of the reality of animal agriculture, you shed light on that moral discomfort that most people feel at the idea of eating animals. So why aren;t you eating dogs?
I don't mean to offend, but I would like to use Indians as example. We have thousands of Indians living in America. We know very well that Indians do not eat cows. You don't see Indians insulting us or offended by Americans eating cows. They understand culture is different in different countries. So how about we open our eyes and mind?
The idea of someone eating a dog is repulsive and outrageous to me. I do believe it is definetely a cultural thing, but it does seem that a lot more people in Korea are starting to feel the same way. The mere fact that people stood against this and got the event cancelled says volumes on how people value their dogs. We do have to remember that in India the cow is sacred and they don't believe in eating them. To a lot of american's that idea of not eating beef just doesn't make sense because we have almost always eaten cow meat here. I think that this article could have been written better and with more information. I feel that the writer rushed through it without really caring that this would be an article people would actually want to read. Instead we got a half-hearted attempt at a story that could have been very informative. What a shame.
word homie...this journalist should be fired right now.
its all how you are raised as a kid, living on a farm all my life i can tell you that the arguement of dogs being intellegent, listening to commands a companion etc don't hold water....i have had pet pigs, cows, deer, sheep etc all just as smart just as friendly and just as loyal as any dog..i know it makes people feel better thinking they are eating a pig they consider a "stupid" annimal but the truth is they are just as smart as any dog you own. you eat them without thought becasue you were raised doing so, not that that is a bad thing i personally love! meat.
A dog will stand by you when you are hurt or in danger, and other animals won't. A dog you raise will die for you and be proud to do it.
I think as a 21st century global society, we need to really reevaluate what animals we eat in general. We now know that gorillas and chimps share 98% of our DNA. Dogs have an emotional IQ and they grow to trust the humans that raise them. To slaughter them after they have grown to trust the human that is raising them goes against a basic human notion. We despise betrayal. When a human behaves one way to another human and then later turns against the person, we view that as wrong. I think the same behavior exists here. Dogs might not have all the intellect that we have, but they certainly have a strong sense of loyalty to the person who feeds them and cares for them. To betray that loyalty to slaughter dogs after the fact is wrong. Many will say that this is Western superiority. I get tired of people who argue don't infringe on other's culture. The reality is that culture is what we as humans decide, and culture changes with the times. The idea of women being equal to men was not always true in our society nor is it true in cultures around the world. Our understanding of the world that surrounds us has grown significantly in the past century, and we should not toss out our understanding of the world just to appease another culture's hunger for dog meat.
Nailed it!
An argument based on emotion and not logic. You people are getting more and more ridiculous and ignorant. As its been said before on these boards, many animals that this country considers fit to eat display some sort of "emotional IQ" as you ridiculously put it. Pigs for instance, are just as smart if not more intelligent than dogs. Of course, you see only what you want to see.
Let me first start off by saying, I would never eat a dog. I will also say that I am a vegetarian who would never eat a living animal, period. But those of you who eat pig and cow, that say you'll never eat a dog and that it's a ridiculous notion are plainly hypocrites. Pigs are proven to be smarter than dogs but yet you won't refuse a nice plate of bacon next to your eggs in the morning to further the 'American' way. So keep living in your blissful denial and be thankful the term 'what I don't know won't hurt me' exists.
Jeff, I agree about pigs. A pig has a handlike 'trotter' that can actually grasp small objects, and a snout that can raise things up to the trotters. When they see something on the ground, they can pick it up; this means they have a bigger forebrain and more curiosity. It also means they think things through, and I think they know we are eating them. It's cruel, and bacon isn't all that great. Cows don't care, chickens are as dumb as potatoes, but pigs look into the distance and wonder.
How is eating dog any different then eating chicken. Millions of people in the U.S. have birds as pets just as much as we have dogs, yet we slaughter millions of chickens a day. If a Asian country wants to eat dog, let them. We have no right to tell them other wise. America has a habit of sticking their nose where it doesn't belong. We have no right to tell another country what to eat and how to live. I guess, people forgot why the Europeans came to America in the first place.
You are a dribbling moron, and here's why. Chickens and other domestic food stocks do not enjoy the dog's priveleged position as a companion to Man as dogs do. As moral and empathetic beings, there is a realization that we are essentially betraying and eating our friends when we see other cultures harvesting dogs for meat.
health benefits are a cheap excuse for eating dogs. there are plenty of other things you can do to boost energy, stamina, and immune response. for example, reducing consumption of grains (particularly those that are gluten-based), eating more green vegetables, and getting the majority of your protein from whey & chicken. combine that with plenty of short and intense exercise.
the day i support eating dogs comes immediately prior to the day i support cannibalism. they're man's best friend. leave 'em alone.
Bub, no one's ASKING you to eat a dog. Almost everyone here is either revolted or indifferent(or joking). We don't eat dogs in this country; the article's about Koreans coming around to our way of thinking.
The question posed here is "What is wrong with eating dog meat?" The answer is nothing. Don't get me wrong. If someone offered me dog meat, I probably wouldn't eat it. Over the years, we have bred certain animals for certain things, some for food (pigs, cows, chickens) and some for companionship/other functions (dogs, cats). Because of this, people cannot get past the idea that this animal is ONLY for this and this animal is ONLY for that. In some countries, not just the one detailed in the article, the dog is more than a companion. It is a part of the regular diet. Since some people cannot get around the idea that dogs are for companionship, they have developed ideas, correctly or wrongly, that they can't be eaten "because they have personality" or, for you vegans, "they are sentient beings." Don't anthropomorphize dogs, or any animal for that mater, beyond what is true. Animals are animals, and we are the dominant species. We choose what we do with them, for good or ill. They don't get a say. It's one thing to say "people mistreat animals" when you see some animal getting beaten to death for no reason. It's another to say it when we kill an animal for food. We raised that animal TO GET EATEN.
Dog sashimi is the best! Also doggy-call rolls are good.
what a joke response! we should be complaining and fighting for animals being tortured no matter where they are!
and YES!! that poor dog is in obvious pain. If you can't see that then stop feeding your face with so much meat.
Here's the difference between eating dog and other animals that goes beyond culture (although, admittedly, it's not a moral argument): Our relationship with dogs is unique among all other animals on earth. It goes to the very beginnings of human culture and the evolutionary journey wolves took to becoming dogs. Cows, goats, sheep, pigs, camels, etc... as we know them today, were all bread from their wild ancestors to serve us in various ways, including the eating of their meat. Dogs were bread from wolves to what we know them as today, but in a very different way. They were bread to serve us, not for what they produce, but for jobs they do. And part of that breeding included a companion relationship, which lead to a unique brain chemistry and behavior with dogs. This phenomenon of Koreans eating dogs may go back hundreds of years, but that is relatively new when compared to the thousands of years dogs have been interacting with humans in non-food stock ways.
If we think outside of the box, maybe we should be examining the implication of "owning" a dog as a pet as barbaric and inhumane. Look, I don't deny that dogs as pets give many people emotional happiness (including some of my extended family), and they've played an intrinsic role in history as guarders of livestock and property, but that fact is dogs are merely our slaves, who we've reared and engineered through eugenics and selective breeding over 1000 years to become helpless animals that must be dependent on humans because it is too stupid to survive in the wild on its own. Not to mention we neuter and euthanize at will, as well as selling off offspring and breaking up families. We also like to force breed them for profit. Dogs may seem happy and content, but they were never free, and I've always compared such temperament to the UNCLE TOM stereotype of a dumb but carefree "negro" slave who thinks fondly of his MASTER.
If you think its wrong to suggest such analogies, well isn't that what dog-lovers do (trying to constantly preach about the HUMANITY in dogs and how they resemble people relationships). Well, perhaps then, this issue is looking ambivalent (are dogs family members or happy-go-lucky slaves)? And remember, for cultures who historically never ate dogs (actually, I'm sure all cultures have at one point in time), they were only domesticated to serve a practical function for the benefit of humans, much like livestock. Dogs weren't domesticated to be part of our family so to speak. My father grew up on a farm, and only a short while ago, was it the norm to keep the dog outside of the house (and not in ones bed or bathtub).
I understand where you're coming from. And you've got a point. But I do think that we have a symbiotic relationship with dogs and that dogs are perfectly content with this bond to humans. It works both ways, humans like dogs, but dogs also like humans. Maybe some of us carry the symbiotic gene expression and others don't (?).
The issue is that dog's have had a symbiotic relationship with humans since our emergence into homo sapien. They express emotions similarly to humans and understand our emotions. All these things have been shown by scientific evidence. So although technically we can eat anything it doesn't mean we should and it does come own to morality. Reference to your picture in the article for proof of the immoral nature of this practice.
Yes, exactly! it is disturbing that you are about the only person here to point this out, while morons keep saying "it's no different than eating cows or chickens" and completely missing the subtext. Thank you.
I think it is morally wrong – in the sense that dogs are one of the most intelligent domestic creatures. They experience way more emotions than say a fish or cow or deer when they are mistreated or about to be killed. I just don't see how this can be done in other cultures, but i know it's hard to understand if we are not brought up in that culture. I feel that the fact this festicval was cancelled is a sign of changing times. And eating dog meat is a sign of poorer times for these countries. Hopefully this will not be considered a "delicacy" for much longer. =(
Pigs have been proven to be as intelligent as dogs, if not more so (I believe they have the capacity of a two year old child), so your logic fails and only shows your ignorance.
I do question our practice of eating pork. Although they don't form much of a working relationship with humans, they are right up there are far as intelligent domesticated animals are concerned. I wouldn't eat orangoutangs or monkeys either.
I'm allergic to dogs. Would that affect me if i eat it?
Screw getting into debates about whether this is right or wrong. This..... just makes me sad. The kind of sad that yanks your heartstrings hard enough to rip them.
There is something about the relationship between humans and dogs. Somehow we forged a working bond eons ago. Maybe for survival, working together to protect the home-front and hunt for food. Somehow, instintually, it seems to be a betrayal of this bond to eat dog, just as it would seem deplorable if dogs began eating people. And dogs are just plain smarter than cows. Ok!
No wonder who its cats and dogs are the ugliest faces in planet.
Thankfully, your poor grammar reflects the fact that you are an ignorant person whose opinion really can't be taken seriously, I'm sure here, and with everything else in your life – home-schooled were you? I'd be very surprised if you were even able to understand this article, but then you probably could make out the words, cat and dog right? Right? Now say it with me, C.A.T spells cat. Oh – big clap for you. Now let's try spelling doggie... are you ready for more than three letters? Imbecile.
On some levels, it's not "wrong" to eat dog meat. Why is it not wrong to eat pig meat? But at the same time, animal rights activists here also protest meat eating. We as a society elevate certain animals above (and below) the level of foodstuffs for psychological reasons.
It's always tricky to eat things that eat other animals. Most (not all) of the animal flesh consumed by humans is from herbivores. Some exceptions are goats and pigs, which I think are omnivores, but the ones consumed here are mostly fed grain and vegetables I believe. Things such as prion based diseases can only be transmitted by consuming the tissues, and those types of diseases are seriously nasty. Some parasites as well. There are reasons that some of these animals haven't become part of the ordinary diet of many places. They can be eaten, but it carries a different sort of risk.
Everyone knows that dogs, whales, dolphins, and any other animals with higher intelligence should be left alone.
Telling people in other cultures what they can and can't eat is culinary imperialism. Mind you own business.
Thank you, it's refreshing to see some voices of reason in this endless sea of self riotous hypocrites that believe if someone doesn't share their same views, culture or beliefs, then it is the other people that are wrong. There are nearly 7 billion people in this world, not everyone is going to share the same culture, beliefs or choice in food.
But then we hear, "But dogs are pets, you can't eat pets". Don't even go there. Just because dogs are pets in some countries doesn't mean they are "pets" elsewhere. Heck many people have pigs as pets right here in America, but how many of those people sit down at their breakfast table and have a few strips of hickory smoked bacon every morning and not even think twice about it. If you don't like people eating dog, then so freakin what, then DON'T EAT THEM; its not like YOU are being forced to eat dog. And the people eating dog has ZERO effect on all of you hypocrites, so get down off your high horses and realize that there are more people in the world other than you with different cultures and just because they are different doesn't mean they're wrong.
Personally, I would never eat a dog or cat, but I'm open minded enough to realize that other cultures do eat them, and who am I to say that they are wrong for doing so.
What's wrong with eating dog is that the dogs are kept in horribly inhumane conditions and then often tortured before they're slaughtered. That was the fate of the other puppies in my dog's litter... and one reason why I was happy to do what I had to do when I brought him back to the US with me from South Korea.
From some of the comments I've read it's obvious the moral and mental character of you is pretty pathetic. Some of the dogs that are eaten are alive while their, limbs are ripped off, or they are skinned alive, they do not die a quick, humane death. Before you make smart-ass comments, do your research. Each country has their own cultures, but when others suffer be they animals or human, then it's never right.
Vincent: Want some bacon?
Jules: No, man. I don't eat pork.
Vincent: Are you Jewish?
Jules: Nah, I ain't Jewish, I just don't dig on swine, that's all.
Vincent: Why not?
Jules: Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent: Yeah, but bacon tastes good. Pork chops taste good.
Jules: Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy mother****er. Pigs sleep and root in sh*t. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eatin' nothing that ain't got sense enough to disregard its own feces.
Vincent: How about a dog? Dog eats its own feces.
Jules: I don't eat dog either.
Vincent: Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules: I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy, but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Vincent: Ah, so by that rationale, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules: Well, we'd have to be talkin' about one charming mother****ing pig. I mean, he'd have to be ten times more charming than that Arnold on Green Acres, you know what I'm saying?
Vincent: [laughing] That's good.
This story should not only draw attention to the cruelty of raising dogs to be slaughtered for human consumption, but also pig, cow, sheep and other animals we take for granted as acceptable food sources. It is illogical to justify eating some animals and not others, therefore the choice should be not to eat animals. While it may be illogical, I will eat birds and fish but I draw the line at eating mammals, because human beings are mammals too. I know this choice undermines my argument and to say "you have to draw the line somewhere," may be a cop out, but it is a choice I can live with.
There are many things wrong with eating dogs! They are domesticated COMPANION animals. Not domesticated CONSUMPTION animals. Would you eat your best friend? I don't think so...
Have you seen my best friend!? Just joking. You're right of course. I agree that they have been domesticated as companions and therefore we have an obligation to treat them respectfully. Just like we have an obligation to treat those that we call friends with respect, otherwise, we shouldn't have made them friends.
Amazing how many people would rather abort a human life than eat an animal...morals? huh? Really? Really?
We choose not to eat certain animals, for this we have changed the way our brain works to think it is bad. For this reason alone in our country this should never be allowed. In other countries it's their choice but we will of course think it's wrong. It's that simple end of story. Also whoever wrote this is an idiot and kind of an ass.
Old school Asians need to stop believing it a good idea to devour everything that moves – from dogs to shark fins to tiger privates. Sick culture.
"is said to possess qualities that "help stamina." BALONEY!
And there's the rub. In Asia the family is everything. It is very difficult for an Asian to change because to declare something is wrong is to declare an ancestor was wrong–an ancestor who is still looking over the shoulder of the Asian wanting to change.
I'm going to go with because dogs are affectionate towards humans. And they're extremely loyal and protective of their owners. Most dogs will die to protects their owners if they're attacked. The same cannot be said for chickens and cows.
I would throw YOU in the BBQ before you put a stinking finger on my pooch!!
You are clearly ignorant on this subject. "Long before" western countries began domesticating......blah blah.....you say? Prove it. There is evidence of dogs being domesticated long before humans even made it out of Africa, let alone as far as Asia. Dogs have been hanging around with humans since the stone age you nitwit. And the dogs they eat in Korea do NOT resemble wolves at all, other than being canines. They actually look much more like a Bull Mastiff than anything else. They're big, (waste high or bigger) and shorthaired, like a greyhound. I should know, I've seen them in pens in Korea. Get your facts straight.
This is driving me doggone crazy...
What I like about dog;
Doggie style
Hotdog
You can't teach an old dog new tricks
Barking up the wrong tree
Bark like a dog (or squeal like a pig)
The human for 10,000 years was bred to be a vegetarian "gatherer" before become "hunters" and meat eaters. Our dental & digestive system was not genetically built for meat eating which results in multiple health hazards. Also, we are the only mammals that drink another mammals milk ... disgusting.
Why would you kill another living being so you can have a few minutes of enjoyment? Seems terribly self-centered and mean to me.
CNN, you will do anything for ratings you piece of subhuman filth. I hate you. This is disgusting. You are FILTH!!!!
DON'T THINK CNN IS "FILTH" JUST BECAUSE IT'S INFORMING ABOUT THIS TRUE FILTH.
THE TRUE FILTH ARE HUMAN BEINGS WHO DON'T CARE ABOUT NATURE, THAT'S REAL DISGUSTING IDIOTIC FILTH.
Koreans are considered the Jews of Asia. Very bad people who only care about wealth and personal gain. If I had my way my samurai sword would drown in their blood.
If you had a samurai sword, your mom would make you put it away. The sword of the samurai is the soul of the samurai.
Let me state a fact Japan invaded Korea, made them slaves. They moved on to China, Philippines, and conquered almost 3/4 of the South Pacifc. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Korea_under_Japanese_rule Koreans are still evil?
I'm betting Koreans rather be jews than a jap nazi...Just because you got your ass beat by a few koreans it shouldnt drive your puny brain to blame them for your failures. samurai sword my ass as well. i bet you couldnt wield one to save your pathetic life.
Everyday 16,000 children die from starvation, and starvation related illnesses. 925 million people go hungry everyday. 1.4 billion people live in extreme poverty. While you sit in your office sipping your coffee, thinking about your 4th of July weekend and about poor scruffy, why don't you for a second think about putting a human life or a child's life ahead of an animals, and realize that often at times this is what you have to do to survive. (And I am a dog owner).
Thanks Brian for having the stones to say what needed to be said...100% agreed.
Emily Lodish you are ignorant and foolish to write such an article. Dogs are more than companions. They are athletes, military (hello Osama bin Laden special forces), police, drug-sniffing, bomb sniffing, human survivor sniffing (tornadoes, earthquakes, tsunamis), their value is priceless – are you as valuable to society? from your article I suspect absolutely not. Please spare us from your toxic opinions.
Wow, aren't you the smart one. She's a reporter, she's stating a fact. She isn't adding her idea the article. No where in the article does it say it is right or wrong to eat dogs.
You all need to learn how to read. There is a clear opinion. She is no veteran reporter. Your responses show a lack of maturity that I will not waste my intelligence on. Good luck you will both need it.
Wow, are you nuts? The author isn't eating a dog, or saying we ought to eat dogs. She pointing out that, although it's considered normal in Korea, opinion is changing and dog meat is becoming less popular. You want to attack the messenger for saying 'hey, good news from korea, less dog being eaten this year?'
They tried banning horse slaughter in the US and succeeded. I'm sure the animal rights folks are extremely proud. Unfortunately, they should be ashamed for what they have done to the horses. First. Horse slaughter has only ceased in the US. They are still sold at auctions then trucked out of country for slaughter. If there's not an auction in the area, many are simply shot and pushed in a hole. Others are left on pasture....if that's an option....without vet care until they die. Then there are those who can't get rid of them, even for free, and then take them on a trail ride with other horses into national/state/local parks. They arrive with 4 horses and leave with 2. The other 2 are turned loose to run free.
The horse market is like the housing market. People can't get rid of what they've got so they can't buy what they want/need. People in the horse industry are going out of business, and the horses are still being destroyed, abused, neglected, and turned loose like stray dogs. I guarantee you the ban on eating dogs would result in a similar situation. Are you going to pat yourselves on the back when it comes to fruition and tell yourself "I did good"?
Interest group forcing others to fall in line, while claiming they respect all, the contradictions of the Animal rights list is to long for them to tell what people should and should not do.
Snoop dogg doesnt approve of this. Fo shizzle
All gooks that eat dog must fucking hang
hillbilly hokie
I'll make an exception and allow you to eat me.
Dogs were domesticated through eating them and using their furs THOUSANDS of years ago in guess what, ASIA. They were the cows and oxen back then and pulled the weight for the humans, such as Huskies with Inuits.
the arrogance of mankind will certainly be our downfall
AGREE 100000000000000000000000X
"just because we don't do it the U.S. doesn't mean it's wrong"? geez talk about cultural relativism. The reason we don't do some things, like eat dog meat in the U.S. is because it's wrong. There are pets, livestock, and wildlife....lets not confuse them.
Fair point, but what constitutes a pet versus livestock IS a cultural issue.
What bothers me more than eating dogs, are the countries like China where they beat the dog or cat senseless before preparing them, boiling, then skinning them alive. There's no reason for it... slaughter them like a cow. Why would anyone want to eat something that licks its butt every 10 minutes?
Before the dog is killed it is beaten and tortured in order to raise the dogs adrenalin level. They believe that eating the dog when it is killed with an elevated adrenalin level gives you strength. So they are not eating dog for sustenance, they are beating them and eating them because of their false beliefs. Its very sick.
We're very closed minded as a culture, and lazy as a people. The only reason the cow is our main meat staple is because they don't run away; the only reason chickens are our main poultry is because they can't fly. They are by far NOT the most tasty meat available.
So, are you going to start farming something tasty and extremely hard to raise? How would you make money on it? Bryan's Kentucky Fried Pheasant Parts? Okapi burgers? Warthog bacon? It's an interesting point, but yeah, we raise cows and chickens because they have the most meat for the least investment. High-return investments are usually best, but you probably aren't into business stuff.
To most Americans eating dogs & cats is just wrong period, we view them as pets even part of the family, but I'm sure some of the animals we do consume here are wrong to ppl of other countries. It's a cultural thing existing for many generations before. I've seen pictures online recently of dogs hanging from hooks bloody and being skinned. To be honest I wish some of these Asian countries shared our views of dogs & cats, the picture (above) of the dog being lead away does affect me. When you break it down however all are animals and God gave them to us so we could slaughter, eat and survive. For any animal I'm in favor of killing it as humanely and quickly as possible, as well as treating them w/ care beforehand b/c all life should be respected whether it's to end up on your dinner plate or not.
To eat or not to eat any animal is purely a societal and/or religious limitation.
Cases in point:
1.) Dogs are not the smartest animals. Pigs are far smarter than most dogs but we do eat pig. So it's not an issue of intelligence. People do maintain pigs as pets, and love them just as much as their dog.
2.) Other animals are just as domesticated towards humans as dogs. How often do you hear of cows brutally assaulting a farmer? Is it unfair to the cow, born and bred to be docile, to be killed an eaten? Maybe, maybe not.
3.) Religions define and dictate what is acceptable. Do you think a Hindu could ever support our eating of cows? An orthodox jew in regards to eating pork or shellfish?
Dogs are companion animals, we love them, many people do, they have been bred over the years to serve and support us. Lets be honest though. They are truly just another form of meat that has the ability to nourish and feed the human body. Albeit, one that is close and important to us.
Don't get me wrong. I love my dog, I could only kill her for meat in the most dire of situations but, in the long run, a selfish species is a species that survives and propagates.
How often do you hear of cows brutally assaulting a farmer? Man, you'd be surprised. All it has to do is step on you, or bolt suddenly and crush you against a wall.
Yet, a roaming pack of starving dogs will gladly, and quickly kill and eat a human.
Uh...cuz it's not kosher. Duh. Same reason we don't eat lobster, horses, or insects.
AND HUMANS DON'T NEED TO KILL AND EAT OTHER ANIMALS TO LIVE OR SURVIVE, THAT'S A FACT SWEETIE
We were physically equipped to eat meat and include it in our diet. A personal choice to exclude it does not mean it's not of value and does not have a place on the plate next to the taters. There are places in the world where meat/fish/poultry are a necessity because of the lack of vegetation, so the argument against "needing" to eat meat is invalid because in those areas it is a necessity.
@Then again
If there's no vegetation is some places (very few places, almost everywhere there's vegetation) why wouldn't humans move to live to a vegetated area? It's like saying humans don't need vegetation either to survive, that's dumb.
Duh, if you killed every animal and cut down every tree and made the entire world into fields, there still wouldn't be enough room to grow enough veggies to feed all the humans. Vegetables aren't efficient compared to protein intake, and also I don't like veg stuff any more than you like raw meat. Don't eat stuff you don't like, that's my motto.
Then you favor cannibalism right?
As long as humans are not violating the human rights of others we should not be so quick to condemn them. Some people feel the thought of two men having sex with each other is disgusting. Some people think that eating dogs is disgusting. Some people thing eating pork is disgusting. Some people think eating beef is disgusting. Some people are vegeterians. Some people are vegetarians who still eat fish. Some people think all animals have a right to life. Some people I know actually relocate black widow spiders instead of killing them. Some people don't think lab animals for medical research is ethical. People think all of these things UNTIL, their son is gay, or they marry a muslim, or they find themselves poor(not American poor, but real poor), or a black widow makes their child sick, or they get malaria from a mosquito who had the right to life, or they are suffering from a disease where some lab animal's life was sacrificed for their cure. Why are we such hypocrites? Let's get human rights established first before we condemn others for not having our own beliefs.
Insects don't feel pain in any relative way as do mammals, so your insect argument about relocating a black widow it's just dumb.
OMG. Do i really have to comment on your dumb ass again. Of course insects feel pain you fucking retard as does every other common living being on earth.
@j man I can assure you they don't, only mammals do. You can check on wikipedia or elsewhere, look it up as 'insect', they don't have the same neurological structure as mammals do.
Regardless of this, I didn't mean it's right to intentionally kill them, if possible, then relocate the black widow or the most poisonous living being on the planet which its a jelly fish species, if not, then I don't consider wrong you try to survive
j, that's correct; they avoid unpleasant stimuli but 'pain' isn't really the word for it. Spiders routinely break off the ends of their legs as they walk and don't care.
Consuming meat is cultural. In India the cow is sacred and they wouldn't dare eatting it. Jews and Muslims don't eat pigs.
We don't eat dogs. Who's right?
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god.......THIS RIPS MY HEART OUT!!!!! I love dogs...this SUCKS!!!
The fact is that dogs (unlike cows, chickens and other animals we slaughter) are social animals who have been selectively bred for hundreds of years to attend to human beings. The cultural debate is actually irrelevant–no matter what region of the world you are from, it is inhumane and unnatural to keep these animals cooped up, and then sent to slaugher.
You are obviously blinded by your belief. Just the way we breed chickens, cows, ect. that's the way they breed dogs. Pigs are social animals and some experts think they are smarter than dogs. Look I love dogs to. But it is not our place to tell the rest of the world how to live. Until they are part of the U.S.A. leave them alone and expect that they return the favor.
We have a ridiculous notion in this country that our way is the only way yet we are a small percentage of the earth's human population. As a species we ignore numerous sources of food even in countries where the people are starving. We have evolved into a society of picky eaters who would rather gorge ourselves on fattening garbage via drive-thru than on quality food. Then we ignorantly decide we have the right to dictate to the rest of the world what is acceptable for human consumption.
Of course, we should add to the mix the fact we have a large ignorant section of the population who refuse to accept responsibility for pets creating an over population of cats and dogs but cry foul if anyone puts down healthy animals due to overcrowding and lack of funding.
The perfect solution to the problem is we stop telling the rest of the world what is acceptable for human consumption. Then we offer aid to those countries, many of whom have starvation issues, by emptying the shelter and gathering up the feral strays and exporting them. We assist in their food storage problems as well as our own animal population problem.
Of course, many will cry foul but they refuse to stand behind their words and want to protest while expecting someone else to fix the problem. Their voices should fall on deaf ears and largely by ignored in fairness to mankind as a whole since generally they are the problem and not the solution anyway.
Why is one meat okay to eat and another "morally wrong?"
NO MEAT TO EAT IS "MORALLY WRONG" OR "MORALLY RIGHT", WHAT'S MORALLY WRONG IS HOW YOU TREAT NATURE, WITH A SELFISH ARROGANT ATTITUDE OR WITH A RESPECTFUL ETHICAL ATTITUDE??
Dog is better tasting than cat or hourse, but hey, if we were on a life boat for week with out food I'd probably eat you IBH!
@RangerDOS Hope you don't eat your mother if you're on the boat situation with her...
When eating meat is obviously going to upset the vast majority of people who witness you eating that meat (as is the case with dogs and most people in the United States) it is wrong because you are deliberately causing them to have negative emotional reactions when you are free to do otherwise. It is equally wrong to eat beef in front of a hardcore vegan and rub their face in it for the purposes of making them angry.
If you want to eat a dog, go eat your dog in private and S+FU about it. Don't go rubbing it in someone's face when you know ahead of time they are going to get angry and/or sad, because that's just being cruel to them.
Eating a dog is not doing wrong by the dog–it's doing wrong by your fellow man. That makes it unethical and thus immoral.
I eat dog. A lot. Mostly puppies. Generally they are strays. Unless I am really hungary.
you're from Hungary?
I Bet you Dollars to Hot dog, if you open a Korean Dog franchise and IPO it on the NASDAQ, the biggest buyers will be Western Capitalists. When it comes to a "Buck" (Not Bambi) dog meat taste good.
For all you hypocrites, go examine your portfolio and see what some of the companies you invest in do compare to eating dogs.
Im a dog lover I would not eat dog. However I have no problem with others doing so. It is a personal choice on my part not to. Humans are OMNIVORES we EAT MEAT.
However I DO have a MAJOR problem with the "farms" that TORTURE these dogs to get the adrenaline flowing because it SUPPOSEDLY adds to the flavor.
YES HUMANS EAT MEAT, DOES THAT MAKE THEM WORTHY OF IT? IF HUMANS DON'T EAT MEAT, CAN THEY LIVE A NORMAL LIFE??........
A bit of a psycho there dog lover? It's just a cultural difference. Just because we have our norm here doesn't mean that is the norm for the rest of the world. Here our main meat supply is beef. In parts of the world the cow is considered sacred and treated as such. Just like some of the post that I have read I to am a dog lover. But with that said I have the decency to let other cultures do their own thing. How would any of you (that aren't vegan or vegetarian) feel if the people of India was putting such a fuss about our beef consumption?
Sadly ... it brings new meaning to " One from column A, One from column B ".
Go ahead and eat dogs, as long as you don't feed it to me.
Why don't they start eating each other. There isn't any thing they wouldn't eat. Boycot made in China. Sick sick people. China is a country that can't supportr itself because of too many damn people. The US is headed that way. The world needs population control. Eat babies.
Wow, the responses here really do prove what idiots many dog lovers are.
Equating dogs to humans is among the most ridiculous things I have ever heard.
Even worse, saying you'd hurt of kill another human before a dog.
The most amusing part is that 99.9% of you are spineless twats hiding behind a computer, performing oral sex on your dogs, that couldn't even defend yourselves against a fly, let alone a human. If you didn't have low-paid labor to kill and process your meat for you, most of you would die in a week.
And until you've tried bbq'd dog, slow-roasted for tenderness, then STFU. Delicious, like a cross between pork and chicken, and very healthy for you. I tihnk I am now going to go grab the neighbors dog for dinner. He runs away all the time, they will not know the difference. Mmmmmmm.
I know... slow roasted dog is the best... I just can't stand all the whining as they roast... I wear eye muffs...
Did Jesus eat dog? No. There ya have it.
Humans. So superficial about everything...
Did Jesus eat pigs? No, there you have it. I guess you better kiss your bacon and eggs goodbye.
My friend Jesus (Hesus) most certainly did...
I live in New York City and I love dog meat... it's delicious... tastes like earthworms... I like those too... and I've only gotten strep throat a couple of times... Nothing like Honey-roasted PitBull, I like the skin too... You can even eat the fur... it's good for digestion... ruff-age I think they call it... There are plenty of restaurants in Manhattan serving dog today... just ask discretely... Say, "I'm finding it ruff to decide." They'll open up and offer you the specials.
What is wrong with eating dog meat? It's a dog! GROSS! They are filthy creatures.
What's wrong with eating you? ignorant.
NO LIVING BEING HAS THE RIGHT TO CAUSE SUFFERING AND PAIN TO OTHER LIVING BEINGS, MUCH LESS IF THOSE LIVING BEINGS, LIKE HOMO SAPIENS SAPIENS HAVE ADVANCED INTELLIGENCE TO KNOW AND UNDERSTAND IT.
WONDER WHAT WOULD BE LIKE IF HUMANS WEREN'T THE ADVANCED INTELLIGENT SPECIES, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SUFFER SLAUGHTER AND BE EATEN BY OTHERS????......
We won't know because we wouldn't be an "Intelligent Species".
You left of "IN MY OPINION". That's all you've stated. By law I do have the right to hunt, fish, and throw a steak on the grill as I see fit. HOWEVER – YOU DO NOT HAVE THE RIGHT TO INTERFERE WITH THE LAWFUL TAKING OF GAME OF FISH. So, state opinion as such and don't try to dictate my rights. If you remember correctly, this country was founded for that very reason. People interfering with the rights of others and trying to dictate what people can and can not do. That's more shameful than a cookout any day of the week, regardless of what's on the menu.
@You forgot
And those rights you DEMAND are too selfish, ignorant, arrogant and irrational for a human being
As others have pointed out, dogs have evolved to develop skills to bond with Humans for support. They have evolved to depend on humans. Dogs connect with humans and are not inately scared of them as prey. Other animals; cows, pigs, chicken, etc. have kept these animal instincts and at least they have instincts to avoid humans. Its too easy to horde dogs and kill them for food because they have evolved to trust humans. In this way I find it less ethical.
Dogs have been companion animals to humans for most of our history. Perhaps it started with wolves. Perhaps it started with the advent of fire and cooking food over it, along with it's warmth, but at some point, canines and humans started sharing space together. Dogs were trainable, playful, loyal...they guarded and fought for humans. They have an obvious level of intelligence that other meat animals lack. They've become part of our families and we often see dogs...and cats, as I'm personally a Siamese cat person...as our kids. A pet can fill a hole in our hearts that a human cannot, for they do not judge us. They mirror us, I believe, giving back whatever level of emotional attachment that we give them. Eat one? I'd rather starve.
Rod, that was very well stated. Thank you for saying what I was thinking and feeling.
Well,I do know the BIBLE,says not to harm { GODS },dumb animals.Dogs are raised right by oursides,just like our kids.They will give their lives to save us from harm.They mourn,they show happiness ,they cry or cry out in pain,so dont tell me that they dont have souls.You all are just igorent,If yall would eat dogs,yall would eat youre own child.They are not the same as wild animals.I can sure see that most of you cannot know { GOD } !!!
NO LIVING BEING HAS THE RIGHT TO CAUSE SUFFERING AND PAIN TO OTHER LIVING BEINGS. I agree so LEARN TO TURN OFF THE CAP LOCK.
ITS CAPS LOCK UNETHICAL? LOL
A lot of ppl enjoy lobster, I think it's rather gross ppl boil them alive
I like to boil lobsters and hear them scream... I do the same to little puppies, than I pull off their skin and eat them... I live in NYC...
Kind of silly to chastise people that don't absolutely agree with your opinion. Hitler did the same thing.
As far as the argument goes, accept the fact that in some cultures there are redeeming qualities to eating dog meat. If you don't like the idea then don't eat dog meat, but for you to tell me or anyone that doing so is wrong displays an incredible sense of hollow self-rightousness. You do not get to dictate to me what is right and what is wrong; that is for me to decide. Conversely, you are afforded the same right.
hollow self-righteousness? i could extend your argument to any situation in any country like female circumcision, no voting rights, child labor and sex slaves. in those cultures, it's perfectly normal. based on your argument, who are we to interfere?
There is a world of difference between choosing to eat dog and the case for human rights, and I have a problem with extending human rights to any animal, dogs included. Animals, all animals, are inferior to humankind.
The sad face of that dog almost makes me tear up. However, in general, I don't think it is worse to eat a dog than a pig, cow, etc. I spent some time on a farm and got to experience how smart, funny and loving pigs are. They had such strong and loving family bonds to their little piglets and I saw the heart-break when their families were separated for slaughter. A couple of the chickens were kept more as pets and they behaved like dogs – came running and jumping up to greet you and rubbing your ankles. What is appropriate to eat in one culture can be horrendous to another. In Japan they hunt dolphins for meat. The movie Cove brought to light the incredible suffering and pain they go through as their families are killed and torn apart right in front of their eyes. I really feel for all living beings – suffering and pain are universal.
Holy moly how can the columnist even entertain this practice with a column. I want to vomit even reading the headline.
Wow! Dogs should be cared for, not eaten. They should eat each other. There are too many of them anyway.
That's it......the U.S. should let North Korea 'eat' South Korea.......
Agree! x10
This article is SICK. Really CNN, you end the article with: "So, what's really wrong with eating dog? Just because we don't do it in the U.S. doesn't seem to make for a very good argument."
OUTRAGED as it is that this is happening, but your response is what is sickening.
What's next? "Just because we don't kill baby girls in the US in this day and age, doesn't make it a very good argument."
Consider your audience.
Cows are sacred in India, does that mean we can not eat cows in the US? Dogs are great pets, and I have one that I love like a daughter. So realistically, I would probably not eat them personally. That being said, all you people judging on the grounds of ethics are hypocrites. You say they are wrong and bad people for eating dog, pushing your beliefs on them as if you are God. They are not forcing you to eat the dog, so why would you force them not to? Keep your opinions to yourself, and stay with the facts.
Slow roasted honey barbecued Golden Retriever is the best... I just can't stand all the whining while they roast... Just STFU... so I wear eye muffs... and watch... it smells great too...
Nature intended that everything be recycled and nothing be buried in her earth. Yet humans have buried billions of other humans all over the planet. And those cemeteries are taking up an awful lot of valuable finite spaces! Now humans have taken to burying animals in animal cemeteries co-opting even more scarce and needed land. Not only should humans eat dog, human, horse or other meats, humans need to truck human remains to the desert or wilderness so the animals that Nature provided (vultures, fox's, wolves, etc.) can perform their intended purposes and consume and recycle those human and animal carcass's.
Pig, Dog, cow, monkey, it's all the same!!! I have eaten monkey on a stick – uhh and maybe dog on a stick, it was no big deal, taste like chicken maybe better. The population of dogs in the US has become such a problem we should be eating dogs, specially pitbulls and ruts! Got to feed the masses some how. Time for you whiners to grow up and face reality, only the strong survive, the weak perish!
what a loathsome creature this writer must be. she strips all humanity from her arguments. i say she should also include humans in her diet if she applies such logic to her nutritional choices.
She who Bill ???
Hey, has anyone seen Brian? Brian, here boy! Ohhhhhhh, that's right.........heh heh heh heh heh heh heh.
Jesus probably ate dog, sheep and cow. NO ONE knows the trueth about that one!!
I don’t eat dogs but I could care less what people eat so long as you don’t eat my dog. So many posts saying its wrong and people argue saying that’s a “American way of thinking”.
Isn’t America the best country in the world? Of course it is. We are not 100% correct all the time but by “ g o d “ we have “it” figured out much more than the rest. Oh and the posts that follow can say different but you know it and so do the people reading it. SO if the “west” says eating dog is wrong… it is.
Sinfear~
OMG! Just reading the headline makes me want to throw up. Dogs are our best friends. It tears me up inside to think that dogs are slaughtered so that it can be spooned onto a plate. Ugghhh.... I'm sure people in other countries are thinking the same thing when they hear about us slaughtering cows, chickens, alligators, pigs, etc. We all know slaughter houses don't kill them humanely, so it's kind of a double-edged sword. I hope the people who are participating in this sort of animal-slaughtering ritual get reincarnated as dung beetles. So sad...
ANYONE who kills and eats a domestic pet such as a dog or a cat should be shot and hung and mutilated and eaten by rats..........they are SWINE and I pray that those who do this to wonderful animals who are pets are condemned in Hell forever! Asians take note!
Have taken a Note , anything more to add?
Dog. The other OTHER white meat. Heh heh heh heh heh heh.
With the exposure of horrific animal cruelty in Iowa the past few days, THIS is the "animals as food" article that CNN decides to post on their front page? How about we work on treating the animals in the U.S. being eaten fairly before we start encouraging the factory farming of another species.
I would love to find out how Emily Lonsih tastes!
I was watching wife swap once and this vegan mom was living with this family that lived in New Orleans and hunted. There was a little boy of about 9 who had some pets, one was a dog and one was a turtle. the vegan lady asked him if the family was ever starving if he would eat his turttle. He said yes. She then asked if he would ever eat his dog, he said no. When she asked why the difference he responded "cause a turtle is a turtle, a dog is mans best friend." That pretty much sums it up why eating dog is wrong. no other animal on earth has the relationship or is capable of the relastionshipe w/ humans that a dog is capable of.
Totally, completely wrong. And let's have none of this 'cultural relevancy' crap either. Right and wrong are not dependent on what culture you come from. Let's end this nonsense now. Just as it's wrong to subjugate women under any circumstances, religious or otherwise. Let me know who thinks it cool, and I'll make sure to not buy anything from any country that condones or allows this. Period. End of Sentence.
people eat cows and people eat pigs and you are all wooried about dog but pigs are actually smarter than dogs. In all of the factory farms in the united stated more than 90% of animals are abused or mis-treated and the US is not giving the rights to those animals but only to dogs cats horses etc... Meat is Murder.
can i murder you?
If youre looking for losing weight, try greyhound as there is very low fat and high in protein. Avoid bull dogs as it is high in cholesterol and fats.
Unless you are a Vegan (like I am) you really have no way to comment on this without being a gigantic hypocrite.
If youre looking to lose weight and gain more muscle, try greyhound as there is very low fat and high in protein. Avoid bull dogs as it is high in cholesterol and fats.
This article doesn't tell the whole story. In Asia they believe eating dog gives certain health benefits. Before the dog is killed it is beaten and tortured in order to raise the dogs adrenalin level. They believe that eating the dog when it is killed with an elevated adrenalin level gives you strength. So they are not eating dog for sustenance, they are beating them and eating them because of their false beliefs. Its very sick.
About noon the following day as they were on their journey and approaching the city, Peter went up on the roof to pray. 10 He became hungry and wanted something to eat, and while the meal was being prepared, he fell into a trance. 11 He saw heaven opened and something like a large sheet being let down to earth by its four corners. 12 It contained all kinds of four-footed animals, as well as reptiles and birds. 13 Then a voice told him, “Get up, Peter. Kill and eat.”
14 “Surely not, Lord!” Peter replied. “I have never eaten anything impure or unclean.”
15 The voice spoke to him a second time, “Do not call anything impure that God has made clean.” Acts10
What goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean,' but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean.' Mt. 15
It's a cultural thing and certainly not against God. We shouldn't tell other countries what we feel they should eat/not eat
What about when they torture the dog before killing it, and frequently skin it alive? Is that part OK too? Because that is what happens. They believe that raising the adrenalin level of the dog before it dies imparts health benefits to the meat. Does that change your opinion of the practice?
Joe, no I dont condone the torture of any animal. If they do that to them then I believe they will one day answer to that, but still not our business. God will judge. It's their way of life, their culture. I do believe all life should be respected and slaughtered as humanely as possible
Apparently you do condone torture because you said that we should not tell others what they can/can't eat (your words). In this case they are eating animals that have been tortured and then killed. We absolutely SHOULD tell others what they can and can't eat if it is clearly wrong behavior. There is a lot of screwed up cultures out there (including ours) and they should all be corrected.
I certainly hope you do not eat chicken in the United States, because I have worked on production patents for that industry and they take live chickens, hang them on a hook attached to a conveyor, then the chicken trundles around with that hook protruding through its neck until it dies or is killed further down the line. I rarely eat chicken anymore unless I am a guest and it would be offensive to others. We raised chicken when I was a kid, and quickly cut their heads off before processing. I had a pet rooster who followed me around and cuddled with me. I would not discount attachment to any animal, we have more in common with all of them than some think. Still, I cannot be a part of torturing them. Corporate farming is grossly inhumane, and watching cows given growth hormones to produce excessive milk will make you sick to your stomach.
No I do not eat chicken. And I do not eat tortured dogs. Do you have a point? Torturing animals is wrong.
If I was visit another country, and Dog was clean/good/etc expression of that country culture. . .I wouldn't have an issue eating it. I draw the line at certain animals (monkey/dolphin/human) due to brain size/genetic similarity. Yet – I dont' see an issue here. . .with dogs. I found it hilarious that someone would say "your are sick" for eating dog, but have no issue with cow, elk, deer, etc. A protein is a protein people. . .at least at this level.
That dog meat they served you was from a dog that was tortured before killed it, frequently it was skinned alive? Is that part OK too? Because that is what happens. They believe that raising the adrenalin level of the dog before it dies imparts health benefits to the meat. Does that change your opinion of the practice?
For thousands of years we have selectively bred animals like dogs and horses to serve us. As a result, these animals are genetically and psychologically hard-wired to want to please people and/or think of them as their pack/herd. It seems wrong and even exploitive to take an animal we have adapted to those ends and turn it into food. That's my fundamental problem with the practice.
Wolves and wild dogs have very similar social organization to humans, and that is why they adapt so easily to us. I am a bit squeamish about killing an animal that has centuries of breeding to befriend us as their pack. Still, the best answer to nearly every problem on this planet is human birth control and reduction of our numbers. The second answer is bust corporations down into manageable parts because in the United States they have the most vile practices and run unchecked with torturing animals. There seems to be no social control over their practices.
We kill cows in VERY nasty ways. In India they are holy. It is a cutrual thing. I only eat fish, and I am sure lots of people have a problem with me doing that. different strokes.....
Absolutely nothing!
Theres are three ways to look at this:
1. Killing: If you belive its wrong then you should be a vegetarian – and many people are. These people have a clear value system whether religious or otherwise.
2. Cruelty towards advanced animals: If you think you should not kill an advanced animal which has feelings and emotions – you should stick to shrimp, frogs, and fish. Every mammals brain is similar. All mammals have a large part of their brain that is empty and must be filled in by parenting. If not the brain develops abnormally and goes through intense emotional shock. Its perfectly possible to put a human or cow in a closed lifecycle, feed it, clean it, etc and never let it emotionally advance – it will live. The minute you put that animal out in its "society" it dies. That does not apply to reptiles, insects or fish. There is no parenting – its all built in. One of the side-effects is all mammals have emotions like love, fear, anger. So if you eat a pig or a cow then there is no reason from a cruelty standpoint you cant eat a dog.
3. Cutural Desensitation: If a culture eats one meat and not another then you start thinking its gross to eat something. Take termites; disease free, no cholesterol, protein galore, almost no fat, easy on the environment and by the way taste pretty good. They are one of the easiest and best things to eat. But we arent culturally used to it so we dont. And this 3rd point is the reason the article is written and most of the comments are what they are.
My advice: accept the world. Eat whatever you want in your house but respect a cultures overall value system. Its equally rude for a Chinese person to eat a dog in the US as an American to ask for a steak in India. Theres absolutely no difference.
Eating animals isn't a cultural issue....not to be done out of politenesss to another culture! The animals have an interest of their own!!!Christ all this time and we still defer to Descartes dualism.....
Some animals just aren't meant to be eaten, but meant for domestic pets. Poor things.
"meant" by whom? It's a simple cultural difference and one we dont have to join w/ but should respect as their choice
We as humans have a natural curiosity to develop advanced ways to live our lives for the better. I believe we are being lazy when we make the choice to eat meat. Especially when these horribly unethical industrial farm practices are so easily found in everywhere. These are not secret, we all know the tortured lives these innocent bi standards endure in their shortened lifespans. There are alternatives, much healthier alternatives, but we choose GMOs, over cropping, hormones, antibiotics, pesticides, petrochemicals. Why? Because we don't like to have to think. Eyes are starting to open to the truth of the matter, and change has slowly started. This makes me happy.
We have the facts, we just need everyone to put them into action.
Even if I was starving to death and my dog was with me, I would rather die than ever harm my dog. They love you like most people don't, and that to me is something sacred and special. I would kill a human before I ever killed a dog.
Agree 100000000000000000000000000000x
Have to respectfully disagree w/ you Bri. I am American thus share similar views as dogs as pets and not food, but in your example starving to death. I'd eat the dog, God gave us animals so we could survive...killing a human first, c'mon that is just ridiculous.
do you also believe in the tooth fairy? sorry but, far too many people use the bible to rationalize cruelty to others. how insane.
@Nuclear Threat
That's because you haven't loved a dog that much as we have, and I can assure you, dogs are more humble, loyal and more loving to their masters than any human being on this planet
What's wrong with eating human meat?
The reason why I eat Greyhound is because it makes me run faster. Try eating it with whole grain rice or multi-grain bread.
there are people with pet fish, pet chickens, pet pigs, pet cows, pet horses, pet sheep, dose that mean it's wrong to eat fish, chicken, pork, beef or lamb? i say, if it's farm raised for the sole purpose of meat, then it would be OK. but eating pets, doesn't matter if it's fish, chicken, pig or dog is a different issue.
Delicious!
Forget dog, my favorite on the grill is American Bald Eagle, YUM!
LOL
Majority if not all of the negative remarks are from narrow minded Caucasian Americans.
I love dogs, I just cant finish a whole one!
We can now give up on the human race. We do not eat dogs, because they are sentient beings with a highly developed mind. This is the same reason we eat tuna, but not dophins. You will also notice that China kills many human prisoners each year. You will also noitce in the future that China will suffer a severe collective karma as is happening now in Japan. The real fact of basic morality: Live in such a way as to cause the least amount of pain and suffering to other living beings. This rule is basic in taking the next step in human progress.
Neil, you talk about karma and all that, so , so the US is nextt
Silly Americans. You do know there is life outside of your country right? Every culture is different.
And speaking for all of us Americans – we are so happy you are not one of us.
What about a culture that tortures the dog before killing it, and frequently skin the dog alive believing that the elevated adrenalin level imparts health benefits? Because that is what happens. Am I a silly American to oppose this? If so, call me silly because I think it is sick.
And all cultures are humanity who should care about the planet that has given them too much but they give NOTHING in exchange, no wonder some people consider humanity a virus...
Are you really just that stupid? So you think we shouldnt eat meat, one of the greatest things on earth? Seriously i want to find out where you live and kick your ass so hard your head will be consumed by it and you disappear. Why is it so wrong to enjoy something not to be engulfed in the desire but enjoy it as us humans of a higher intelligence as we should enjoy any aspects of life
If you're a rational person, the ethics and morallity should come first instead of "enjoying all pleasures of life", but I guess you're just too irrational, unethical, ignorant fool to understand it
Oh, I just answered your 'insect argument' on the other comment, do your research before you comment on the issues, all insects don't experience pain, they don't even feel many of their environment because they lack of neurological axioms that only mammals posses.
don't label all of us. I understand its a cultural difference and one I must respect, just don't invite me over for dog
I don't see what's wrong with eating dog, if there not domesticated and were raised to be eaten or in the wild I don't see what's wrong with it. People are too attached to animals.
God created the animals for mankind, however, they each have their own purpose - some for food, some to work and others as companions. Dogs were not meant for food but to work and/or be a companion.
Enough already! do we have to eat every animal on earth? Aren’t people FAT enough! Leave the poor dogs alone!
It's funny how many of you couldn't ever imagine eating a dog, but can't understand why a Hindu doesn't eat meat, particularly beef. It's about the animals that you respect. The western world respects dogs and cats because those are the pets they keep and know best, but have no problem eating cows, pigs, chicken, etc because they don't really care for them. In other cultures, all animals are treated with equal respect and therefore people don't eat any animals (i.e. Hindus/India). In other cultures, nobody keeps pets and therefore, they'll eat anything, including dogs and cats.
This article is so stupid. The author purposely chose a controversial topic to get a rise from all the users.
SO WRONG!!! ...and chinese eat human baby fetuses
All meat is murder. Simple as that. Justify it as you will. And if you can.
God gave us the animals to kill, eat, and survive. If it were against God I would not, but I have better understanding Thank God ! I respect your choice however
an invisible man in the sky gave you the right to be cruel to others? wait... i'm getting something right now.... i hear it so clear... another invisible man in the sky is telling me that it's wrong to kill animals. how can you argue with that?
by definition the word "murder" only applies to the killing of humans.
Some would call your definition a "legal" definition for use in court. Merriam-Webster.com agrees with your legal definition but also describes murder as "something outrageous or blameworthy". Dictionary.com agrees with your legal definition but also describes murder as "to kill or slaughter inhumanly or barbarously" which is the what I intended to convey by using it. I was not making a legal point, but a moral and ethical one.
What you americans do not know is that the dog possesses powerful nutrients and helps libido. It is a known fact that eating dog will give you strength and longevity.
Especially if you torture it before you kill it. Isn't that true? Isn't that what you believe – that a tortured dog imparts strength and libido elements to the meat? You seem to have not mentioned that part of it. I wonder why.
then why do asians have the least s3x of all races on the planet? guess dog isn't working.
Hmm... lets see... Asians make up roughly sixty percent of the world population... yeah you must be right.... very little sex with those stats.... moron
lift waits, exersice, take youe DOG for a walk
yeah, that's why chinese love 'baby soup'.....eating human baby fetuses
DISGUSTING!!!
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated”
Mahatma Gandhi
If it is moral and reasonable to eat a pig or a cow it is moral and reasonable to eat a dog or a horse.
As far as I'm concerned no meat eater has any grounds to be appalled at the slaughter and butchering of dogs and horses.
What about the torture of the dog before it is killed? Am I allowed to be appalled at that? Because that is what happens. They do not simply slaughter the dog – they beat it and typically skin it while it is alive. You only know half of the story.
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated”
Mahatma Gandhi
Ever try KOBE dog? They feed the dog beer instead of water. Truly deee-LISH!
Where are you all when human being are ding in Africa and rest of the world because of hunger.., Try to show sympathy and donate.. I don't say dog eating is good, but if you can raise voice for a animal being killed, why can you raise voice against the WAR & poverty.. where a lot of innocent lives are buttered ....??????????
ding=dying
People are helping Africa all the time. It Humans are very ugly to each other, but we know the reasons. However, animals are more innocent than humans (except maybe small children). There is no shortage of human compassion, but the lack of compassion for animals WORLD WIDE is appalling. I would help an animal over a human any day, but that's just me.
this is ALWAYS the stupidest argument some idiot ALWAYS makes. just because you're dumb doesn't mean everyone else doesn't worry about more than one subject. sorry you're too simple-minded to comprehend that. the rest of us know how to care about more than one thing at once.
You morons that are so concerned about all the starving children in Africa and everywhere else....They are starving because the grain that can be used to feed them is being used to feed cows, pigs and chickens so that the selfish humans in the world can satisfy their fat bellies. Then meat is fed to dogs so that these sub human dog-eaters can eat them. Take away the meat and there will be enough grain to feed the starving plus a lot less strain on the worlds natural resources. Your argument that man has always hunted for food is also invalid. Our ancestors lived in caves so just because they did, does that mean we need to? Meat is not necessary forhuman survival- eating meat causes cancer, diabetes, obesity and other disease so get off the meat and save the planet!1
Most of you people are so ethnocentric and have no experience around other animals. The arguments trying to show dogs as being more intelligent or sentient than other creatures clearly shows a lack of knowledge in the field of animal psychology. Most cultures don't eat dogs for cultural reasons and that is that. Go back to university and study animal psychology or zoology if you want to understand which species are more intelligent.
CORRECTION ! – Dogs ARE (Or at least, WERE) Eaten on Indian Reservations.
Had a full-blood 'Indian' from the Lower 48 States that was raised on an Indian Reservation before he became a teacher and began teaching for the BIA in Alaska.
HE surprised me by telling me that my young Sled Dogs "...looked delicious..." – as he grew up practicing a Custom and Tradition of eating 5-6-Month old dogs on an Indian Reservation.
they don't eat dogs on my reservation or any other i've ever seen. please don't use one guy you knew to make blanket statements about all of us.
I regret reading this article as I'll probably have nightmares about it. But even more, I regret reading some of the comments related to this article because it's made me realize how heartless and selfish some of my fellow human beings can be towards the plight of helpless, innocent domesticated animals here in America and around the world.
Anyone who eats or condones eating dog or cat meat obviously has a tremendous lack of morals and most definitely, no heart. Makes me sick.
It's not 'wrong,' just different. We put dogs down in shelters who actually WERE pets, that's worse. But I think when "Garfield" says that you should definitely eat dogs, you shouldn't get too upset. Nobody's eating dogs here, or seriously saying we should eat dogs, and in fact, they are saying that less dogs are being eaten in China and Korea.
Sometimes i wish the world would go back to survival of the fittest so all the the dumb ass people would die, and the world would only progress itself
Hope you don't eat your mother for lunch sweetie
You and jman should get a room. You fight like old married people.
@German Shepherd LOL I know, CNN should put private rooms in their comment sections
Dogs were domesticated to be pets. Most are not a wild species. Most edible animals are wild animals or non domesticated pets. Sick to eat pets, messed up!
Dogs and horses have a special place in human history. They were along side humans while we evolved and it could be argued that they even helped us evolve. Perhaps this is why they are the two species that most people can agree should be placed in a separate category from other domesticated animals. They are companions, our friends, not food.
But its their culture and you cannot change that if your an outsider/foreigner. If they like to eat dogs, let them eat dogs. If your a animal lover, just don't bother visit the place. Can they change? Hell no. Why? They are so use to it that its part of their history. There are some of them that won't eat it but the majority are. If you want to change that culture, just go over there and yell at them in person. Other than that, there are people out here won't change their culture to kill animals for food and by animals, all the animals you can think of is being killed as we speak. Do we care? No unless we have footage of it or someone talks about it.
The reason Western civilization find it horrifying is that Dogs express their emotions quite well or rather easily recognizable by common human being (smiley faces, wagging tails, sad sympathetically faces). That doesn't mean other animals with stiff faces don't have emotions for us. Same applies for Dolphins as well I believe. They connect well with our emotions and communications. That's all. There is nothing wrong or right in eating them.
AR, you said it all
Eating carnivorous/omni animals (dogs, cats etc) should be banned because it can bring in disease of other animals. Only chicken/pigs raised in a controlled herbivorous environment should be considered.
BTW, how does a dog taste?
Chinese friend of mine told me once that there is a saying in China that Chinese eat everything with four legs except a table.
Try this:
1lb of fresh dog meat. Heat little olive oil in a wok. Place dog meat in the wok and let is simmer for three minutes. Add half a clove garlic, two teaspoon sugar, some ginger and fresh onion (to taste). Add two tablespoon soy sauce.
Add chilli paste to taste. Serve with rice or noodles. Yum Yum enjoy.
For desert some monkey turd on a tick.
Thats messed up. its not so much about eating the dogs, but you can see that they are in terrible conditions, just by looking how dirty the dog is. I would say the same thing about anything, cows, pigs, chickens, etc... Its just as bad as those meat farms for cows where the cows can barely stand due to being crammed in so close to each other. Dogs are smarter than those animals as well and they are still being treated poorly, even if they do end up being slaughtered,
Just because we're emotionally tied to our dogs, that doesn't give us the right to call others "monsters" or savages because they believe it's okay to eat them. Many cultures view ALL animals, not just pigs and cows, as fodder. While I would not eat a dog, I don't harbor ill-will towards anyone who would. There are just some cultural differences that the average American are incapable of grasping. After all, why would we know anything about the dietary predilections of a country most of our young people can't even find on a map?
off subject a bit, I'm not a seafood guy and I still find it rather gross and a bit inhumane actually (when you think about it) that ppl boil lobsters alive. To each their own however, its just not for me.
Before you judge this try being poor and hungry. Try seeing your children go hungry. Try living in less than deplorable conditions for generations. Not just for a day but for lifetimes. Then jusge what you would be willing to eat to survive and see your family fed. See a possible food source and say "no better that my children go hungry because that's my puppy". Don't sit eating your steak and judging what you know nothing about. You fu(king know nothings!
Do you really believe Asians are eating DOGS because they are poor and have no other source of sustenance? Are people really that stupid?
No idiot! But you have to recognize where things that are culturally accetable stem from. Just because Pathmark is down the street from you does not mean the world was always that way. We throw live lobsters and crabs into boiling water that sits well with you? You are precisely the type of person I meant by "fu(king idiots".
They aren't eating dogs because they have no other option – even historically. What they believe is if they torture the dog before killing that the elevated adrenalin level imparts health benefits to the meat. IT IS NOT EATEN FOR PROTEIN OR SUSTENANCE. It is specifically eaten because they believe tortured dog meat will give them libido and strength. Please know something about the topic before commenting.
You know cows are "holy" in to some in India yet we slaughther and eat them in Western Culture. All I am saying is to keep your moral judgements to yourself or are you one of those social liberal tree huggers that knows better than everyone else what is good for them? Are you in with the "nature should have legal rights" crowd?
No I will not keep my moral judgements to myself. When there is injustice it should be addressed. Sorry buddy!
The sickest article CNN could post. Dogs are mans best friend. Whats with this disgusting article!-PULL IT!
Ms Howard I wanted to feel the same originally due to the place dogs are esteemed here in America, but I'm finding this article is at least interesting in opening up a discussion b/c who's to say what we eat here is ok and what they eat there is wrong? neither is against God, it's a cultural difference- one we should respect
I also agree with TEXAS we eat Grass eating animals not meat eating preditors.
I know that is sounds crude to eat a dog, but 3rd world countires do not view dogs in the same manner we do. In fact in these countries it's not uncommon to run over a dog just for fun. I would rather see a dog being farmed for food then being savagely persecuted just for the hell of it. There's inhumane and human. Human's hunt animals for food, inhumane is mistreatment of animals.
But they are being savagely persecuted. They are purposefully tortured before they are killed. The author left that part out of the article – she has probably never been to Asia.
I ran six dogs over while reading this article on my Android. And one vegan.
Whats the big? We eat animals all the time. Why is eating dogs such a taboo? Their lives are not more important than pig, cow, chicken, lamb....Just because they are supposedly mans best friend does not mean they do not taste good. At the end of the day if I had to decided weather or not I would eat a dog or starve to death. That dog,cat, snake, bird, any animal is a goner.
Try this:
1lb of fresh dog meat. Heat little olive oil in a wok. Place dog meat in the wok and let is simmer for three minutes. Add half a clove garlic, two teaspoon sugar, some ginger and fresh onion (to taste). Add two tablespoon soy sauce.
Add chilli paste to taste. Serve with rice or noodles. Yum Yum enjoy. White wine please.......
For desert some monkey turd on a tick.
Every one is ignoring the real reason that people do not eat dogs. It is because dogs are sacrificed to the goddess of fortune and buried at forks in the road to appease fate. Therefore, their meat is unclean. It is the same as eating the goat villiagers let leave with all of their problems (the scapegoat).
Beside the fact that the emotions of dogs are much more human than cows, pigs, chickens, etc., I'd say there is nothing wrong with eating dogs. A dog is not called "man's best friend" for nothing. Think about it. Or maybe the dog eaters need to have a dog as a pet for a short while to realize why it might be a poor choice for meat..
Let's start eating Koreans. Carpet bomb that damn peninsula. Ask any WW2 POW under the Japanese–the Korean guards were by far the most cruel. And what they do to cats–dropping them alive into boiling water–is sick and cruel. Allright, don't eat Koreans, but just kill them. I say, they are sub-human.
I have eaten korean before. Her name Kim Chi. Very good, Very tasty
Asians are probably the worst culture that care about animals and nature.
I agree, a lot of asians are ROTTEN. They do not care about the well-being of the animal before it's put to its death...I've seen pictures of cats being blow-torched alive because the chinese believe that the meat actually tastes better when done this way...so much more for a dog/puppy. They even eat human fetusus (called baby soup). They even have sex with the animal before eating it (look up the '8 most terryfying restaurants' & #1 is 'roppongi').
Your whole post is subhuman. You want to kill Korean babies? Because the grownup ones eat meat that you don't approve? You are more extreme than Hitler. It's Not a Good Thing.
It was sarcasm Martha.
Shut up and play your call of duty in that hole of yours you fat ass.
I feel really bad to read ur comment as Korean.
I didn't read the article. Doesn't matter what the contents are. This sort of provacative headline has one purpose. Sell papers or whatever the author works for. Might as well ask if selling a child is justified if it will save others. I have a reduced opinion of CNN.
Reading makes your head hurt? To summarize: less dog is being eaten worldwide. It's a Good Thing.
Look all you imbosiles an animal learns all it knows from instinct and what happens around itself, if a dog is loved as a pet then you would be pretty weird to eat it for lunch tomorrow, the only reason we have biases is because of what people thought before, essentially instinct. And what we experience on a day to day basis so all these morals and such are stupid because we're going off what life is in todays sense which isn't the best choice. What we really need to do is let other cultures do there own thing, until they are bored of such rituals or desires so that maybe one day we can all get on a psychological plane of understanding
I'll pass for now, I'm a dog lover. I find dogs much more engaging than some humans. Humans have eaten any meat when hungry enough, including each other. To prevent such barbarities, I suggest birth control planet wide to lower our population to an extent that is sustainable without eating anything that moves. In India they starve in full sight of beef on the hoof. I have eaten bear meat, and they taste rich and wonderful when they are eating berries and nasty when they eat fish. I understand the emotional appeal of vegetarianism, but our teeth suggest we are omnivores.
I want to take the pictured dog home with me.
How someone can have a dog as a pet and eat dog, I will never understand. This article is quite upsetting to me.
AGREE
Makes me hungry.....
Gasp. To me, this is about as acceptable as eating children to help curb the world's overpopulation problem.
Hey, that was MY idea.
Joe S. you continually post that the dogs are tortured and you may be right, I don't know. But let me ask you this, our biggest source of meat in America is cows, how do you think they are treated? In many cases I'd say inhumanely and with a lack of respect, same goes for turkeys, chickens, pigs in America...so how is it different?
He is right. Koreans drag out animal deaths as long as possible because they believe that adrenalin improves the taste of the meat. They typically hang dogs by their necks and beat them with sticks, to gurantee a slow, horrible death. Search online. You can find the videos. Cats have their fur burned off of them while their alive and then dropped into a vat of boiling water (still alive). Koreans are sick. (Let's put our PC tendencies aside, please.) Also, U.S. servicemen are briefed before being sent there that they will witness horrible treatment of animals (and people) and are not to interfere. Why the hell we ever defended South Korea is beyond me. Let North and South battle each other and kill each other off.
The cruel acts to animals is not the problems of Koreans, but the problems of thoughtless people. Please do not condemn Koreans like that. As a Korean, I feel hurt. And I even saw an american soldier dispatched in Afganistan or somewhere throw a puppy away from a very high cliff. I was struck dumb. But I didn't criticized Americans that they are so cruel. Because I knew that's the problem of some kind of people.
Cruelty to animals or humans should not be tolerated ANYWHERE. If animals are being mistreated in the US you should be pissed out about it too! The culture that produced this practice is decadent and broken. If you actually traveled in Asia and visited the parts that tourists were not supposed to see you would be horrified.
Parts of our culture are broken as well. For example, dogfighting exists in the United States. Slavery exists in the United States. This should be fixed.
Yes, many tests say that pigs are smarter than dogs yet we eat pigs. But, the difference is that dogs were domesticated by man to be our companions. They want nothing more than to please us. They greet us at the door, comfort us when we're ill, guide the blind, search for disaster victims, help the hearing impaired, visit kids in the hospital, warn us of intruders, comfort children in court, serve as police officers and arson investigators, follow the trail of kidnap victims, sniff out cancer, help diabetics know when their blood sugar is slow, warn epileptics of upcoming seizures, pull sleds across the arctic, herd sheep, flush out pheasants, sniff out drugs and bombs, and were even used by the Navy Seals in the Bin Laden raid. To toss all of that aside and treat them like this, then eat these loving companion animals who unconditionally love their masters is just plain wrong.
I dont agree w/ it either. I see dogs as pets, but to call a cultural difference wrong? I wont do that. Its not for us to decide what other countries should or should not eat.
They came out of the darkness when we had nothing to share but a fire and some charred meat, and they've had our backs ever since. They fought besides us and slept at our doors all night. We beat Nature back and built our houses of sticks, stones and bricks, and never had to fear the big, bad wolf. We owe it to them to try to have their backs as well.
Dog isn't bad. It's not wonderful either. Had it in the Phillipines years ago unbeknownst to me until the meal was over. Based on my own prejudices, I would have been unlikely to eat it if I'd known beforehand. It is unusual for a Western diet in that the dog is principally a carnivore, where most of our meats are herbivores.
Americans have also been upset about horse meat. This is much closer to our normal diet than dog. Yet, because some people own horses as pets, the meat is stigmatized. Horse also is not bad.
if you and your dog (who is your best friend ) fell in a large hole and the only way to live was to eat and wait for a search party to find you.... would you eat your dog or die with it because it has a personality and a soul? The truth is, everything that has ever been hunted (human or otherwise) has a soul and personality, but we still need to eat. I would never eat an animal I had a personal connection with, but I would eat it's sibling.
Dogs and cats form deep emotional ties with people that last even after their human companion dies. They also work in the military and medical care among many other fields helping their human companions. They are highly intelligent beings, on par with humans, and eating them is cannibalism. What a disgusting, sad and backward practice.
I am not happy about the fact that I incorporate meat into my diet; I have tried to go vegan many times, but my health, skin, and hair suffered from lack of nutrition over time. This failure on my part ot have a successful vegan diet does not mean that I will not try again to go vegan; I just need perhaps a better mix of nutrition. That said, I find as I grow older, that apart from eggs & dairy sans rennet, I truly am horrified by two things; that suffering of animals is underwritten by me and my diet, and that I am enamoured of the taste. As far as this dog eating issue, a line has to be drawn at some point by man not to betray the bond between canine and man by refraining from eating what is our closest counterpart in the animal kingdom, and I do not mean via DNA with regards to pigs; Dogs deserve actual dignity and protection, and if I had the financial means, I would endeavor to be the ASPCA's largest giver of funds to ensure we treat our neglected pets compassionately. The eating of dogmeat should be as hideous as whalemeat and anyone who contributes to the dog eating market has no compassion or sense of karmic retribution.
Are they delicious?
They stink, so probably not.
Oh you silly, self-righteous, holier than thou, Americans, always trying to impose your morals onto the rest of the world. Let me guess most of you are still running around asking yourselves, "Why do they hate us?"
People own all types of pets and all animals can learn commands and understand some human words, if they comprehend those words in another matter all together. Cows are kept as pets and people claim they are also VERY intelligent. Horses are kept as pets and also eaten as food. Countless species of birds of comsumed the world over and they are considered to be FAR more intelligent than any animal that has been discussed here thus far and they too are kept as pets. That being said monkeys are also kept as pets and are more intelligent than birds. They too are also comsumed with monkey brains being a delicacy in many parts of the world.
Who cares what people eat in other parts of the world. In India, they think Americans are disgusting for eating cows but you do not see them on some crusade to stop the rest of the world from comsuning beef. Jewish people do not eat pigs or seafood but you do not see them trying to stop the rest of us from eating them, do you? Alll cultures have different eating practices. This is what has given us the food rich cultures of the world. If they were all the same, how boring would that be. As long as a species is not endangered there should be no issue. If you find it morally reprehensible, than simply don't eat said animals or do not visit that country or town.
Please stop trying to make the rest of the world America. America is nice but it's not all that great people and you Americans are getting harder and harder to tolerant all the time.
Lastly, I am a dog lover. I have owned many dogs. I am also a avid traveler and backpacker, having visited over 40 countries... I have eaten dog (along with many other animals) on many occasions. Dog is actually not bad tasting, very lean, probably very good for you and is probably more environmentally friendly than eating beef.
And what "country" are you from? I'm thinking if we knew, we could easily say that you are becoming or already are intolerable to us as well. Fair is fair. Don't tell others what to do while looking down your nose at them. It only makes you a bigger hypocrite.
"And what "country" are you from?" I am from New Zealand.
"I'm thinking if we knew, we could easily say that you are becoming or already are intolerable to us as well. " Still think so?
"Fair is fair. Don't tell others what to do while looking down your nose at them. It only makes you a bigger hypocrite." Funny, I thought that is exactly what is being do to those who eat non-western forms of meat.
What a heap of PC, patronizing BS. Yeah, and let's encourage the Indians to practice sati again. Also, American black slaves' greatest fear was not to be killed by their owners but to be delivered to the Cherokee for torture then death (Cherokee a noble savage?). Sorry, moral evolution is on (I hope) and where it can victor, let it. Unless you really are pissed off at the English banning the forcible immolation of Indian widows on their already dead husband's pyres. Hopefully we will all be veg soon.
Changling, I could not have said it better myself. These touchy-feely libtards don't have a clue what the rest of the world has to do to survive, they only know they don't have to do it here in the U.S., so it "must be wrong" to do it elsewhere. It's a very narrow-minded and wrong opinion.
Here is how the dog is prepared for food:
1) It is kept in a small cage with other dogs
2) The dog to be prepared is bound and hung by its hindquarters
3) The dog is then beaten with a stick
4) The dog is then skinned alive, typically by burning off the skin
This is done to elevate the level of adrenalin because they believe that this will give the consumer of the meat increased libido and strength.
Do you have any further stupid comments about Americans to make? I await your response.
Here is how the dog is prepared for food:
1) It is kept in a small cage with other dogs – so are veal, chicken, pigs, birds, fish and hundreds of others animals not only on farms but in zoos and labs as well.
2) The dog to be prepared is bound and hung by its hindquarters – again, so are pigs, deer, veal, cows, boars, turkeys, ostrich, emu, bear, gator
(Here is where you leave out the part where the animal is usally stunned or rendered unconsious some how. It is also here where it's throat would be slit so that the blood can drain, which is why all animals are stung up from their hindquaters, very misleading of you)
3) The dog is then beaten with a stick – so is veal and many many other tough meats, this is what we in the food industry call tenderizing... I also think that that putting these out of order is also very misleading.
4) The dog is then skinned alive, typically by burning off the skin. – actually it is the hair that is removed and again, this is done after the animal is dead.
Good thing my family runs an local abattoir and butchers shop.
This is done to elevate the level of adrenalin because they believe that this will give the consumer of the meat increased libido and strength. – And what does comsuming a 75 oz steak in under 30 mins so that is free do for the libido?
Do you have any further stupid comments about Americans to make? I await your response. Seems like you are the only one making stupid comments and trying to spin thngs to fit your agenda, sorry you don't like being called out on it. My bad.
VERY WRONG and an obvious lie. The dog is beaten with a stick and skinned while it is ALIVE. Otherwise it would not raise the adrenalin level of the animal which is the entire purpose of slaughtering the animal in this manner. I do not know why you are lying, perhaps you are attempting some spin control on behest of China, but this is what happens during the preparation of the meat. Any yes, torture of any animal is wrong no matter where it occurs.
In my experience the only people that have to resort to calling other people liars are the ones that are doing the lying and get caught doing so. That was seriously WEAK.
Behest of China?!? What is that all about?!? Do you work for FOXNews trying to draw these kind of loose, emotional connections?!? Does logic form any part of your being what so ever?!? At least we can now see you are exhibiting the very typical overly paranoid traits that most Americans seems to be dealing with these days. Along with an underlying nationalist agenda that you are trying to overlay on people. Good luck with that. I for one am not buying it, I know better.
Ah now the personal attacks come out now. Please visit these links below to be educated. I WARN EVERYONE these links are very disturbing but "Changling42 from New Zealand" is clearly wrong about how the dog markets are run.

Oh by the way "Changling42" I am not American, I am from Spain. Wrong again of course. But nice try.
I see what is problem is now, you have a comprehension issue along with being arrogrant and pigheaded. Where did I ever say anywhere that you were American? Actually is was you that said, "Do you have any further stupid comments about Americans to make? I await your response." Inplying that you were American. Thank you for posting this, as it shows you are nothing but a lair yourself and always looking for the a new way to spin your rhetoric. SUPER HUGE FAIL!!!!
I am not American, but Spanish, and I currently live in America and I lived in Korea for 10 years. In my home country we brutally kill bulls for sport, which is immoral and disgusting. I would rather you think of me as an American, because in general Americans are good people.
You are clearly lying when you say that they kill the dogs and THEN beat them [to tenderize the meat] and then skin them alive. I am awaiting the apology for your lies or at least a retraction of them. Did you see the videos posted below?
"I am not American, but Spanish, and I currently live in America and I lived in Korea for 10 years. In my home country we brutally kill bulls for sport, which is immoral and disgusting. I would rather you think of me as an American, because in general Americans are good people."
Nice try at backpedaling there but, you have been caught. I no longer believe a thing you say about anything. Where you are from, where you live, etc. Nothing you say from here forth can be accepted as truth. As for wanting to be American, I think there is nothing sadder than someone that wants to be something other than what they are. I do not share your admiration of America, sorry.
"You are clearly lying when you say that they kill the dogs and THEN beat them [to tenderize the meat] and then skin them alive."
Yes, that's it more of this calling everyone a lair business. As I said before only lairs run around calling others liars and we can see from this thread that it was in fact you that launched personal attacks first by calling me a liar.
" I am awaiting the apology for your lies or at least a retraction of them. Did you see the videos posted below?" You might be waiting quite some time for that. I would not count on it coming anytime soon. Just sayin'. Won't want you waiting around for it.
But you ARE a liar! That's why I called you one. You said that they killed the dogs THEN beat then and burned off the skin, which is CLEARLY A LIE! Go back to the Ministry of Truth and figure out what your strategy is.
Get hit by a bus Emily
barbaric practice that should simply die. "humane" would be a nice twist. A friend of mine serving in Korea, watched as a man burned the skin off of a live dog chained to a post before he prepared it for cooking. I've had it with the ENTIRE country, north and south. If it were up to me, we would push them back into the 15th century where they'd rather be anyway.
@ Maya : Because you keep spewing out ignorant, uneducated comments that are formulated by superficial research from Google. So if you don't want people responding to you, then be quiet or at least come up with something that holds weight. Dogs change too in the wild. Hell, even humans physically would change if they were shoved out in the wild. Point is: IT DOESN'T MATTER. Meat is meat. I have no problems with vegetarians. I have no problems with carnivores. I just have problems with hypocrites, and the people who criticize other cultures with their hypocrisy - which is exactly what the author of this article is trying to get at.
What is wrong with this article! What the heck is up with CNN! The dog eating festival occured in China , not Korea yet everything is about Korea. GET YOUR STORY RIGHT! Just because large group of human population have emotional tie with dogs doesn't mean it is 'wrong' to eat them.
Only sick F***ks would do this.
This disgusts me to no end. I cannot believe cnn.com would ever allow an article like this to be written by such an ignorant person. Can someone dice up the author of this article so I can eat him raw?
She's not saying we should eat dogs, just that it's done worldwide.
Eat the liberals instead. Better than eating dogs.
Ooo! You can eat ME, you naughty, naughty boy. I guess it's true what Larry Craig said about you closeted conservatives.
I think some country's are blessed with plenty of food and have developed cultural beliefs believing it is wrong to eat dogs,cats, horses,ext....As some have stated, let these ppl go hungry for awhile then ask them, it's all revelant to what you are raised to believe and what you have available to eat...i personally don't eat dog, i have better options,but i see it being no different then eating any other animal...
This writer condones the eating of a dog? What's wrong with it? The fact that these animals display intelligence. The fact that dogs become loyal companions to their owner. The fact that these animals will willingly defend their owners with their lives. Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should. It's sick and this writer needs a lobotomy for even suggesting that it's okay.
Get real, she's not saying we should eat dogs. Are you really trying to talk us out of eating your dog, mister? We don't eat dogs in this country.
I'm a dog lover. Any dog eater is not a friend of mine. So many other resources to choose from. Human scum...
What's wrong with eating people? Sure, we don't do it in the U.S., but what's wrong with it? And Changling42, it is definitely environmentally friendly!
You forgot Jeffrey Dahmer
Packer was an American gold prospector and convicted cannibal. On February 9th 1874
Albert Fish
Are you kidding? Prion diseases result from cannibalism (vCJD, BSE (mad cow)). Yes, Physiologically humans are omnivores–they can eat meat and/or vegitation; however, that does not mean you should. And eating pork–did you know that if you consume undercooked pork, you run the risk of getting a parasite that can pass the blood-brain barrier and eat your brain? (And yes, the parasite is only found in pigs).
Not to mention, serial killers display a tendency towards cannibalism. And they're not crazy–they're psychopaths.
If we can kill and eat cows which give us milk, wats wrong in eating dogs?
I've always thought a solution to control stray cats and dogs is to export them to Asia. There has to be money in it.
Are all of you so dumb as to think it's really a cultural difference?
Let's not forget, since WWII ended, South Korea is the one Asian nation that is closest to the USA than any other. Why? Because America and Russia liberated Korea from the Japanese Empire. Thus, you got North Korea; communist nation. South Korea, democracy and practically the same thing as USA except the Korean version.
Cultural difference? A LOT of people in Korea have dogs as pets. A LOT. In fact, there's more labor work in Korea as there's more rural land percentage than America and these places have dogs as pets as well. Well, their dogs would also help them out.
Koreans treat dogs exactly like Americans do. There's no difference. You act like South Korea is some 3rd world country when majority of the products America consumes (mostly electronics) are being made from Japan, China and Korea. You see huskies, rottweilers, german shepherds, etc. All are there.
Even the majority of Korea has never tried dog meat. But everyone knows what it is. And before you start thinking if it is humane to eat dogs because we bred them to be domesticated; think this...
We humans genetically altered dogs SO MUCH and through overbreeding, dogs suffer certain disorders/diseases and the like. And due to the fact that we forcefully evolved and genetically altered the DNA of dogs to evolve in certain ways, EVERYTHING about dogs are the way they are now.
Some of these very same people will say that Pitbulls are not domesticated and they are instinctively violent. That is not true. Pitbulls are cute and beautiful dogs as long as you raise them right. As for the other sense, if a dog is raised from birth to be a cold-blooded killer, he will not bring a ball to you to play with. He will not act cute to get attention. The act of domesticating an animal is to tame it and train it yourself. It doesn't COME domesticated just because it was genetically predisposed to having emotions. Most mammals you know of have emotions. Get over it.
this emily lodish (the author) certainly isnt very smart. her writing just flat out blows. how did she get to write for cnn? maybe its more than her writing that blows?
Who did you blow in order to get to post that, fella? READ the article, she is not saying we must all go eat a dog. Are you in the third grade or something? Do you know ten times as much as she does about dog-eating? She found out about this, did some research, wrote an article. Would you even know about this otherwise?
Desperation, starvation, and the desire to survive are not the circumstances that are being discussed in this article. What is being discussed is a celebration; discussion of what (and whom) a living being will eat when they have no choice is not appropriate here.
That said, human beings have a clear-cut moral responsibility to the dog, and perhaps also the horse.
The loyal dog, who has loved and protected us since we slept in caves, should be granted a place of
honor in our hearts. I am not a 'dog lover', I could never live with a dog, but I respect and appreciate
the help and loyalty they have shown mankind since we found each other back in the cave days.
You eat your brothers when you have no choice, and you are ashamed, and never speak of it.
It is absolutely not grounds for celebration.
There's what's wrong with eating dog, but you already knew that.
Oh, please people! Hey Vegetarians, Plants are living things too.....Maybe you should stop eating all together? THIS is why so many people in other countries are starving! They wont eat the meat that the have walking all over the place. Too many people to have enough land for veggies and they wont eat the meat....So starve
Dogs r man's best friends, but some men r definitely NOT dog's best friends. Dogs r domestic animals that r supposed 2 be our companions. They love & trust us. & they protect us & r loyal & faithful. 4 this, some people slaughter & eat them? Shame on the evil sub-humans who slaughter &/oe eat dogs or cats. There's a place in hell, just 4 u.
Eating humans...nothing new...
My girlfriend says shs loves when I eat her....
I don't get you people. You try to project your way of living to every area of the world and you can't. If a region of the planet can raise dogs for food easier than cattle, so be it.
I don't see all you people stopping the 10,000 dogs that are euthanized EVERY DAY in the US. Yes, 10,000, 4,000,000 per year.. that's food to a starving nation. Seriously, grow up and try to understand more than what you see in your backyard.
Well most think its horrific becuase these creatures become our pets. But what makes a dog more important than a cow or pig? Its still a living being that feels the pain. I feel horrible at the prospect of eating a pet, but who's to say its gotta stop in another culture. Isn't that like making Hindi people eat cow, or Muslim eat pork, ... they aren't stopping us from killing pigs.
You must first skewer them on bamboo poles and burn off all their hair before barbecuing them. I volunteer to help you!!!
This was a reply to someone up the list that somehow got separated. It was with respect to libtards, not dogs.
U POS.
I could easily shove one of those poles up uranus, you dog-eating piece of crap. Now get back to the dungeon.
This article is correct in stating that just “because we don't do it in the U.S.” is not a good argument for why it is wrong to eat dog meat - it's very important to approach these issues with cultural sensitivity. However, the appalling cruelty used within the dog meat industry - in which dogs are often deliberately tortured before slaughter, under the misguided belief that this will produce better quality meat - IS a good argument against it.

Laura, let me explain this to you: you don't have to give us a long list of reasons not to eat dog. We don't eat dog. Thanks.
KFC = Kentucky fried canine
My question is what right do we have to force our views on another culture? They have been doing this for a longer time then the our country has been around. I personally don't have a problem if they want to eat animals that we would consider pets. I'm sure we do things in our country that their culture doesn't think is right but do you hear them coming over here and forcing their views on us? The only ones that we should be questioning is the ones that try and force us to bend to their views of cultural right.
If I order it to go, will I receive it in a doggy bag? BUH DUM TISH.
Dogs to Koreans it same as Cows to Americans. I am a dog lover and have a dog, but don't understand this hypocrisy.
Any society that would eat a dog is not civilized. Dogs have a range of emotions, intelligence, uncondtional love. They are truly man's best friend. It is absolutely morally wrong to eat a dog,......jail time should be mandatory for that offense.
Larry, that's the thing; this IS a civilized country. Korean isn't the most highly-cultured place in the world and they have always been a bit rough, but it's not like they are howling barbarians with horned helmets. They simply don't see dogs as pets, so it isn't a moral issue.
KFC = Korean fried canine

There is nothing morally wrong with eating dog and I would probably try it if prepared by someone knowledgeable.
You can argue that eating animals is wrong, but picking and choosing which animals are moral to eat and which are not doesn't make sense. The only exception is the human animal because, yes, we humans give ourselves more rights than we do other sentient creatures on this planet.
I'm okay with that.
Damn yellow skins will eat ANYTHING that crawls, slugs, or slithers. They would eat a T-rex or bigfoot if they found one.
Correction Mintgreen – they will eat SHIT if there is Teriyaki sauce around to marinate the TURD in!
What makes eating a dog morally wrong, when you can eat a cow, pig, chicken, etc.? Because it's a "companion" animal, and that the other animals were bred for consumption is what they will tell you. Well, so are dog's. You put a dog in a pen with the intention of eating it in the future, and there is no difference between it. People are just illogical hypocrites.
I feel that eating a dog, or any pet for that matter, is wrong because of our cultural and developmental bond with that animal. We have an established relationship with that animal; you help me, and I'll help you. With dogs in particular, this is an extremely robust and enduring bond, as we've been living side-by-side with them, domesticating them and breeding them for thousands of years, and they are often seen as more than a pet, often a partner or even family member.
Dogs are, between our two species, quite literally our, "best friend." Would you eat your best friend? I would not disrespect them in that manner, even if it meant my life.
Even if the dog were not mine, even if it were a wild dog or a stray, I would never kill and/or eat a dog, because we have that unspoken agreement with them: you are my friend and companion, and we will help each other to survive.
Even if the dog might do so if the roles were reversed, we are, or at least should be, better than that. We should know how and when to respect those that aid us.
I ve been a veterinarian for 27 yrs,. ah no.
I couldn't actually bring myself to read the entire story, but the mere thought made me want to throw up. My dogs and cats are the best "people" I know! Personally I'd starve first.
I guess China knows now what it would face in coming over and trying to eat our dogs! Grrrrrr!!
Why don't you just eat what YOU want, and I will eat what I want. I like dogs, don't want to eat them, but I don't care if my neighbor does. This is the last time I am going to tell you, mind your own beeswax. : P
You can argue both sides, historically dogs were used for guarding, herding, tracking, hunting, protection and if push came to shove, they were eaten so humans could survive. They are carnivores and pack animals while cattle, horses, sheep, pigs and goats were herbivores and flock /herd animals. In America dogs were consumed along with other meats by the tribes. Lewis & Clark and their men ate dogs in the same way the local tribes did. Yet Lewis took along a big black Newfoundland named Seaman who made the whole journey with them. Up in the mountains they were starving, eating their horses but no one thought of eating Lewis' pet dog. The one time he lost his cool was when a local tribesman stole his dog and he used violence to get him back. Hard to explain why you eat one dog but not another, even tho starving. My scottie sleeps in my bed along with an elderly cat – wouldn't think of doing that with any of my other critters tho I had a chicken as a pet as a chld. Dogs have been our companions where other animals have only accompanied us. You don't eat your friends. Don't approve of eating dogs, also don't approve of custom of eating cats and horses. It's not a right or wrong thing, more like an esteem thing. Dogs have earned their right to be not eaten.
No, you go ahead and eat dogs. Don't let me stop you. It's fine.
I guess this all comes down to the fact that even amongst the supposed civilized, highly intelligent (questionable) animal that calls itself human and sees itself as not what it is as one of the top animals but rather as above the animals and with god, but does not even understand what it means to be a civilized higher life form. The first (in my view) is the capacity to protect and care for those weaker than us be it another of ours species that is injured, disabled, young, old, or another species that feels what we feel and choses to love us even when it could easily kill us. Creatures that also love their young, often grieve when they lose a human companion or their mate or offspring. This is why if we chose to torture, kill, eat those same creatures, we can't really call ourself civilized. What if the roles were reversed and we were less intelligent than the dog? Would it be right to arbitrarily lock us up for food or given a life as a loved pet, not because we were lesser than some other human, but by a coin toss. How about another image. I will bet those poor dogs who lost the lottery, many will wag their tails and get all happy when their keepers come to feed or clean the cage, only to have it be their time to die. I wonder if the look of fear, confusion, betrayal on the unfortunate animal affects the handler (murder) when he dumps the dog in hot water or oil alive to separate its skin and fur from the meat and flays it alive. Think about it. If you can't understand it maybe you should be on the other side of the equation, cause you don't make the standard for us supposed higher life forms.
We should seperate humans into high grade and low grade too. Kill the low grade and feed them to animals. It would save on all these awful social programs that Democrats push through. Then we would not have to raise the debt ceiling and could lower taxes on the people that actually work and contribute to society.
I can just tell somehow that you would be one of the low-grade humans.
Garfield you sound like a P[_]SSY!!!
ABSOLUTELY!!!! Just LOVE your way of thinking!!! When you run for office YOU GOT MY VOTE!!!!
So my dog and I went on an adventure in my 45 foot sailboat. We got caught in a storm, lost the ship and were stranded on a small islet for about 10 days. I must have gotten delusional with hunger and let the dog see something in my eyes as we sat around the small campfire. Although I fought the thought down the dog was unsettled enough to pull a knife on me!!! Well goes to show what was going on in my dog's mind!!! I also found that cookbook "How to Serve Man" in her belongings! So I snuck up from behind and HOT DOGS!!!
What's wrong with eating humans?
Why cant any of you see past your own little world ? Jews wont eat pork, In India cows are sacred and it would be unthinkable to eat one, in eastern Europe it is common to eat horse. what makes you think your own culture is a universal truth ?
That's right, Duh. In some cultures children are beaten to a pulp and in others they are not. And in some cultures women are brutalized by their husbands and in some cultures they are not. And it's ALL good and wonderful. What a wonderfully diverse world we live in!
Nuke those dog-killing bastards. There should be countries that will kill, barbeque, and serve KOREANS for dinner
Can we not teach these ignorant people to come out of the "cave-man days" and join the 20th century? Of course what do we expect from the same people that kill their babies if their female? My God, they have so much to learn and meanwhile these poor innocent animals are being killed and eaten by these horrible people!!!!! God save your four legged creatures from these barbarians!
DOGS ARE NOT MY BEST FRIEND !!! I have been bitten by dogs many many many times, I figure it's time I bight back!!! Servem up !!!
All dogs are not the same.
I dont want to see nice dogs suffer. But I understand your plight, and agree .. I want to see vicious dogs(Pit bulls) put down.. eaten i dont care about bad animals.
So i guess my position is.. nice dogs don't deserve to be eaten.. but the mean dogs.. grill em!.
American people eat hot dog. It's a dog, no?
Eating dog is just wrong. They are our companions, mans best friend, not meat to be eaten.
Larry, that's total BS !
Every society does some things and doesn't do others. Just because you live in a society that doesn't eat dogs doesn't mean that other societies that do aren't civilized. For Hindus, the cow is holy. What do you think there opinion might be about savage westerners eating a juicy steak ?
Larry, try to be open minded. You and your habits are not the point of reference for humanity in general, but just a tiny segment of its diversity.
this is one of the worst articles I have ever seen promoted on CNN, and the company should be ashamed of themselves. it's disgusting, morally wrong, and completely offensive and inhumane. absolutely shameful CNN!
CNN is not saying we should eat dogs. Good heavens! They are saying hey, did you know they eat dogs in Korea? And that there is an anti-dogmeat backlash now? It's GOOD news, cheer up. Shoot the messenger much?
Koreans are nice people and I love this country . The only issue still remains, cruelty to animals should be stopped in China Korea and any other country . Such a lovely country and God bless people of Korea. There are now a lot of movement in this country for this. Also I say more attention should be toward China than Korea
Dogs in Korea, horses in France, calves (veal) in the US, llamas in Brazil, people in New Guinea ...
Just because U.S. culture does not endorse the idea does not mean it's wrong. By our standards it may be disgusting, but our standards and theirs apparently differ on this topic. Maybe we should simply endorse the idea of a decent life while alive because ultimately all stock animals, including dogs, are fated to be eaten. Soooo, before we do too much complaining about the dog "industry" in Korea, maybe we should take a look at the veal industry here in the US. The conditions for most calves is abominable. Look it up. You know, clean up your own house before you scream about the condition of someone else.
How about we scream about the mistreatment of both calves AND dogs at the same time? People with brains can typically handle more than one thing at a time.
This is the most ridiculous and horrible thing I have read in a long time. Dogs have always been bred for human companionship. Not for meat. This sickens me and is one of the reasons I will never travel to the far east. If Is aw someone selling dogs and cats for meat, I would end up fighting the sellers of these animals until one of us died. I will never get over how most humans think.... Just because we are at the top of the food chain and run things on this planet, doesn't give us the right to exploit any other living creature. Everything on this planet has a right to live. Period. This is disgusting and something I will fight to end for the rest of my life.....
SHAME ON PEOPLE WHO EAT AND FARM DOGS & CATS..... OR ANY ANIMAL FOR THAT MATTER.....
HORRIBLE, HORRIBLE PEOPLE!!!!!!
Stacey, they aren't horrible people. If they were, this would be a different article. What we are trying to wrap our heads around here is the idea that perfectly nice people sit around the dinner table asking how was work and what did you do in school today junior, and they are eating a dog. They went to the dog department at the Korean WalMart and got some frozen roast dog. It's not wrong to them and they aren't eating a pet, but still, EWWW!
Don't get too upset. I'm sure there's quite a bit in your life that is derived from animals. I'm also sure you were born with the same teeth as everyone else that developed to rip flesh apart for consumption. As for me. I'm going to enjoy a nice slab of BBQ ribs over the holiday. I'll probably even share some bones with my dogs and go ride my horses.
I'm also sure you were born with the same teeth as everyone else that developed to rip flesh apart
Pandas also have teeth, but thats for eating bamboo.
Giraffes, cows,rabbits, horses have teeth too, for eating plant based food.
so the teeth=carnivore argument is not true.
Look up incisors. They are used for tearing off meat. The herbivores you are referencing do not have them.
Thats it, in honor of all you over the top dog lovers, I am going to have dog for dinner on independence day !
Disgusting and upsetting. I hope every kid on the internet sees this story so they can be the spark to stop this utterly cruel practice. I cannot stand cruelty in any form. Veg is the way to go, so i'm realizing more and more.....
there is nothing morally wrong with eating dogs. they are just another animal that we have domesticated and some cultures have given a more coddled place in society.
when i grew up on the farm we were not allowed to name the livestock. once you get too attached to your food it is hard to do the work of the slaughter.
It makes it ten times worse if the dogs are inhumanely killed. Someone mentioned that we mistreat cows and pigs before death. Well, doing so doesn't make it right for anyone inhumanely slaughter meat dogs. Inhumane slaughter shouldn't exist anywhere.
unless you are a strict vegetarian, it is just food prejudice (and/or cultural chauvinism) to say there is anything wrong with eating dogs. Americams are so narrow minded on almost all fronts other than their very wide approval of worshipping unlimited acquisition of all material things. Most Europeans eat horse, many many people eat insects etc
You ask why we shouldn't eat dog, I ask you why we should? A picture is worth a thousand words and the one above says a lot. The dog in that photo is stretching it's head to get affection. Cows do not do that. Chickens do not do that. Fish do not do that. Yes pigs are very smart and a lot of people choose not to eat them. I think it's funny CNN calls eating them a delicacy. I have a Korean brother in law and from my understanding eating dog started out of poverty. According to him most still find eating dogs an embarrassment. Dogs work very hard for us. They find bombs before they have a chance to kill our soldiers. They get drugs and criminals off the street. They go in to places we can not reach. They love us more than we love one another. They protect us and our property. They offer companionship to people that have been left alone. They are eyes to people who can not see. The list goes on. They never leave our side. Even when their humans pass away, some wait for days for them to come back home. When a cow, chicken, or fish does that I will stop eating them.
I've eaten out a few Koreans, and they tasted like dog.
My parents or extending family never ate dog when they were in Korea. This is sick because I only thought this happened during the Korean War.
Wow, I can't believe their is such a thing like this event.
Its a pet not a source of food! this is disgusting! how could you eat a dog! MEAT iS NOT MEAT MEAT IS A COW< CHICKEN< DUCK< PIG! NOT DOG! PEOPLE WHO EAT DOG FOR THE HELL OF IT NEEDS TO GET SLAP ACROSS THE HEAD!!
shelly, they aren't eating them for kicks, and they don't see them as pets. It's horrible to us but it doesn't make them bad people; the world is full of odd contradictions. If you notice, they are beginning to see our point and eat dog less.
Your culture is your truth. Don't let someone tell you that it is o.k. to eat dogs just because it's another culture. If you are an American and you think eating dogs is o.k., you need to replace your moral compass. When you travel overseas, you need to maintain your American sense of civilization and morality. Globalization doesn't make other cultures any more civilized. And, extending understanding to those who eat dogs, bush meat, or any other uncivilized foods, doesn't make you worldly. It makes you twisted and gross. It's not all good. Sometimes other cultures are barbaric.
Stop the ethnocentrism. We must practice the rules of the land we are in–or do we want people to engage in ethnic hatred and honor killings when they come here (taking THEIR culture with them) the fact is–there is NO SUCH THING as "civilized food" Years ago, tomatoes were considered poisonous and in many parts of Europe, corn is considered pig food, Indians think the West are depraved for eating beef. There is just food. INdeed people need to respect the culture they are from and others need to honor it when they are here but that is as far as it goes.
There is no depraved food- there is only food –the "rules" depend on the culture and the culture depends on the country. What Americans and some of the west need to accept is that the rules in your country are not the rest of the worlds, and no deity has ever come down and proclaimed the West to be the arbiters of either mores or morals for the earth. They are our customs–so don't eat dog –but if a person goes to Korea and wants to–let them "when in Rome, do as the Romans–as long as they remember that when they come back–dogs are not for eating here.
Other than that–mind your own business and leave the world to mind theirs. America is NOT a paragon of virtue or by dint of our recent actions around the world –we are not even great examples of morality–unless we ignore a lot to embrace our recent lies, torture and illegal invading and killing people policies.
Git your head out of your arse... I understand what your saying, but to judge what is barbaric in another country... you're full of yourself if you think that way. You iiigggnant.... I don't care for monkey brains, dogs, cats, frogs, but I don't pass judgement on others based on my beliefs... You sound like those European explorers back in the days when they went around the world and called the natives "barbaric". I guess somethings don't change. Have some respect for others. I respect everyone even if they don't eat meat, gay, Muslim, worship cows, eat dogs, eat cats, eat McDonalds, etc as long as I get the same respect. Don't pass judge on others unless they have passed judge on you.
i dont eat dogs cause they are cute, but i do eat chihuahas
Why no tears for Cows, Fish and Chicken. Just because one type of meat is palatable to one group doesn't mean its the same for everyone. When you get right down to it, while a great deal of the world views dogs as pets the reality is its a choice. Some people keep Chickens as pets.
Maybe it has nothing to do with the meat and every thing to do with morals. I will tell you why I do not shed tears for cows or chickens because the police do not have a "cow" unit but a K-9 unit. There is no such thing as a "seeing eye chicken" but dogs lead the blind every day. There is no such thing as a "therapy fish" but therapy dogs go in to nursing homes and other places to comfort the sick. I think you need some time alone with your thoughts.
In speaking of the use of eggs or fetal calf serum in medicine, I am speaking ONLY to biologics and not to pharmaceuticals made from inorganics or those made from RCD (recombinant DNA) The fact is, from cosmetics, to candy, to gelatin and many food products (including those Micky D fries with the beef tallow flavor) there are animal products in them–but for the "saved lives" remark–one cow can be used in so many ways and can save so many lives that if one dog was the "hero of the year" they could NEVER save as many lives as that one animal.
You can love your pet and fiercely want to promote why it is better than any other–but be aware of what we do with animals–from eating them to using them in medicine or using them to feed your dog–all animals should be respected. And if you have had vaccines-then you have benefited from pigs, chickens, and cows for that vaccine. BANK on it.
This is just plum sic, mann. Dog is mann's best friend, not mann's best food. It's just one set above child porn. You don't eat mann's best friend. Just plain sic!!
It is hard to come up with a counter argument for one reason that challenges people: killing animals for our taste buds is wrong.
Pigs and cows are extremely intelligent: pigs can use cursors to click images on a computer, cows enter deep depression for months when their calves are taken away at dairy farms. There are videos of all of them being slaughtered on Youtube, including dogs and cats, and I have to say the dog, cat, dolphin ones are harder to watch, but it doesn't change the truth of what happens at slaughter houses in the US. Not saying this to guilt trip anyone, it's just the truth.
some religion worship cow and consider eating beef a taboo. so is it wrong for us to eat beef? what's wrong, what's right is all up to the individual. To all the people who say this is wrong, you can express your view but you have no right to stop others from eating dog meat.
thats mans best friend you sick nips
Unbelievable, the hard hearts some people have. To mistreat and butcher any animal that seeks comfort in humans is an indication of the poor health of the soul of the human that could do it. There is such a thing a karma and I only hope it comes back 1,000 fold.
Trust me, dogs are not mistreated in Korea. Karma? So i'm guessing the plants and the cows that you eat will get you someday? LMAO From what I know.... Koreans like they dogs "free range", just like wild game here in the states. I don't know about these fanatics who love the taste of a wild game, but I don't... I like my meat processed and packaged with no eyes looking at me, only fish I can stand being stared at. From my experience, a stray dog would be fed dried anchovies for at least 24 hours to clean out their system and then killed.
DK – please stop your spin control.
They are not "strays" who are "fed dried anchovies for 24 hours". Nice try – did the Ministry of Culture come up with that one?
This is how the dogs are prepared:
1) It is kept in a small cage with other dogs
2) The dog to be prepared is bound and hung by its hindquarters
3) The dog is then beaten with a stick
4) The dog is then skinned alive, typically by burning off the skin
This is done to elevate the level of adrenalin because they believe that this will give the consumer of the meat increased libido and strength.
Before I say this I don't eat dogs and I have a chiuahuah as a pet and I had a yellow lab and I love them both, but you are forgetting that not all cultures are the same. Would I eat dog...probably not, but that's because in America we don't do that. On the same hand we eat hamburgers and steak but you wouldn't offer someone from india a cow to eat, nor would you offer a vegan a steak. Dogs are animals, just like cows, so what's odd to us maybe just another food in another country.

"First of all wolves are not prey animals, they are predators. Korea is only about 100 years old it was split into the North and South around 1945. America had people here long before the Europeans arrived, so I don't get your ridiculous point of who has the older culture. There's nothing worse than a dumb c***. Maybe too much doggie is rotting your brain."
Korean civilization is 4,000 to 5,000 years old. Just my family tree book I have in my room that dates back about 700 years which I believe is older than this country. My father's family tree is written in stone, so i'm sure it goes back further.
The only thing I would kill and eat is fish. Here is some information I know about Koreans and dogs. FIrst off, dogs are a delicacy in Korea, only a minority of the population eat them. They don't eat pure breads, I heard once that they don't taste as good. I've heard strayed dogs were the best, just like wild boar. They are treated a lot better than the animals that we eat in this country. I pretty sure most "civilized people" will not eat what they would kill these days. What's the difference between killing and eating a dog, pig, or a duck? You know the Indians worship the cow right? Imagine how they must feel about us.
Here are some other "barbaric" countries that have been enjoying dog meat in the past/present:
France
Japan
Indonesia
Germany
China
Taiwan
Hong Kong
East Timor
Ghana
North Korea
Mexico
Nigeria
Philippines
Poland
Hawaii
Tahiti
Tonga
Switzerland
Native Americans
Vietnam
This is clearly factually wrong but is typical of how Korea and China is attempting to cover up this issue. Korea in fact attempted to get restaurants to take dog off the menu in time for the Olympics.
The truth is this. Dogs are not "treated well". Here is how the dog is prepared for food:
1) It is kept in a small cage with other dogs
2) The dog to be prepared is bound and hung by its hindquarters
3) The dog is then beaten with a stick while still alive
4) The dog is then skinned while still alive, typically by burning off the skin
This is done to elevate the level of adrenalin because they believe that this will give the consumer of the meat increased libido and strength.
So please stop repeating the lies that you have been told.
that is from your readings, my comment is from my own experience of how I witness them prepping the dogs
Really? You have observed Koreans prepping "stray dogs" and feeding them "dried anchovies for 24 hours" as you suggested in your other post? Please let us all know where you have observed this. There are a few videos posted below, please view them. I do not see a single dried anchovy in them.
Well this was 20 years ago when I saw my dad feeding dried anchovies to a stray dog for few days. Then I heard my sister scream when she opened a pot one day... So i'm guessing oh..... Btw majority of Koreans don't eat! I only knew one people in my life which was my dad for the past 35 years. It's a delicacy like eating a frog.
Yes that is a shame and it needs to stop. But here in the US, we also treat our food animals with no mercy. They are crowded together and have nowhere to stand or sleep. Our food lobby is so powerful and inhumane that it is now becoming illegal in the US to take pictures of the abuse.
DK – from your post above: "Trust me, dogs are not mistreated in Korea". Care to retract, or modify that statement based on what you have learned today?
So DK, you'll only kill and eat things from the most endagnered ecosystem on the ENTIRE planet?!? The ecosystem that has been pulndered and pillaged more than any other, putting it on the verge collaspe in the next decade!!!! This makes sense how exactly?
The only thing I would kill and eat right now is fish because that's the only thing I can stand to kill and eat.
"The only thing I would kill and eat right now is fish because that's the only thing I can stand to kill and eat." So, because you choose to rationalize your eating habits this way, that makes it OK?!? Are you insane?!? Just asking.
You're over analyzing everything i'm saying LMAO.... plain and simple.... i didn't say what is right or wrong.... I said, currently if I had to kill and eat something it would be fish... Have you ever went fishing? I mean I can go out there a shot a bird or a pig, but to skin, pluck, and all that gross thing I have to do... I rather catch a fish... it's easier to clean and I can eat it raw.
"You're over analyzing everything i'm saying LMAO.... plain and simple.... i didn't say what is right or wrong.... I said, currently if I had to kill and eat something it would be fish..." – Again, you are rationalizing here but apprently informing you of that some how means I am over analyzing?!? I am having a real hard time following your line of thinking.
"Have you ever went fishing?" – Yes, many times as a kid, never as an enviornmentally conscience adult. What does this have to do with anything? I guess I should also add that I only practiced catch and release when I fished as a child.
"I mean I can go out there a shot a bird or a pig, but to skin, pluck, and all that gross thing I have to do... I rather catch a fish... it's easier to clean and I can eat it raw." – So again, more of this carzy logic... because it's 'easier' and you would 'rather do it' it is somehow ok to catch and eat animals from an ENDANGERED ECOSYSTEM (you understand what that means, yes?) rather than eat animals that can be farmed, are not threatened are have been raised for the consumption of food? I am sorry but you make NO sense to me what so ever. It's just SO illogical.
@DK
"They are treated a lot better than the animals that we eat in this country." You don't believe your own BS right ? I bet you never set foot in Korea...In your ancestors' country, dogs are beaten with sticks to tenderize the meat before they are skinned alive... When you left the tourist paths, you could see some a few years ago hanging upside down in small villages streets. I would urge you to travel to Korea, meet some of the folks you should be able to track if you indeed have such a great family tree and learn about your own culture.
So you actually witnessed this yourself? I grew up watching my dad prep dogs to be cooked and I didn't see any mistreatment versus the stories from my neighbors who work at Purdue and Tysons. Btw they became vegetarians after working there. The processed meat that we eat are injected with a lot of crap vs "free range" dogs. Koreans have been eating dogs since the modern stone age.
What's wrong with eating Emily Lodish?
Well, you'd have to buy her dinner and a show, then get her really drunk. But if she was okay with it, I guess it wouldn't be wrong.
I am a dog lover but don't like cats. I would eat the dog before I would eat the cat.
What happens when a person from another country decides to come to America and eat dog? What happens when people from other countries come here, settle, and vote? Perhaps, it's time to value our own culture a little and take a second look at globalism.
Do they eat dogs in Annandale, Virginia, or San Francisco's China town now? East is east and west is west and never the twain shall meet.
This article makes no mention of which activist organization tried to stop the dog farmers. For all we know, this was a Korean-run activist organization – which means that Koreans are also against it.
I got something you can eat.
Ooo, you naughty boy! Where can we meet?
I don't see what the big deal is. Yeah, as an American, I think it's kind of gross to eat a dog, but it's not violating any human rights issues and it's not like they're illegally killing dogs. It's part of their culture and we should respect that. Part of the Islam religion is not to eat pigs because they are considered a dirty animal yet they're able to respect the fact that Americans like it. Hindus do not eat beef due to their religion, yet they respect that fact that we eat beef. It's all cultural, so I don't see why we can't be mature enough to just GET OVER IT.
F U C K I N G MORON.
IT is like eating cows and pigs. that is EXACTly why I"m vegetarian.
I wonder if Vegetarians taste better than us.
I just can't eat an animal that I would cuddle with.
The biggest issue here is how the "meat dogs" are raised, transported and slaughtered. The other issue is of course, people eat dog meat not because they're starving or lack protein source but they eat it because they believe dog meat will remedy this and that which is nothing but nonsense.
1. Dogs are born and raised inside tiny wire cages that are raised above ground. There's no floor, just wires to make it easier to clean. Dog poo piles up quickly under the cages. They can't sit or lie down comfortably. Many dogs develop sores because of the wired "floor".
2. Dogs aren't given proper food – they live on food waste (some resources claim 1/3 of all Korean food waste is taken care of by dogs. Now, if you've been to Korea you know Korean food in overall is salty and spicy. Make a mental note of that.
3. Dogs aren't given any water even during summer time. It is believed that water decreases meat quality. Think about it. No water when sun is scorching down on you 24/7 during the summer months.
But still, many dog farmers confess that the dogs are usually happy when they go near the cages. They wag their tails. They know the dog farmer is their master. On a large scale, some dog farms hold thousands of dogs. The dogs could very well be fed 100% automatically with no human contact. But the farmers claim the dogs need to see people once in a while for some reason.
4. Dogs, when ~ 12, 18 months old, are ready to be butchered. One by one, they're taken out of the cages, thrown, forced and packed into even tinier wired cages, stacked and put on a truck. Transport time could be hours under the scorching sun, of course no water.
5. Dogs farmed near Seoul will probably be dumped off at Moran Market, the largest market for (all kinds of food) meat dogs in Korea. At the market they are brutally forced out of their cages, thrown into larger cages and there they stay, exhausted, waiting for a customer to single them out for slaugthering.
6. Slaughtering methods – a) electrocution (dogs usually do not die only become paralyzed) b) hanging – a slow death, takes 5-10 minutes to squeeze the life out of them c) hanging combined with beatings – this is common in the rural areas outside Seoul, where some (many) believe a tortured dog will produce a better meat.
I see lot of people talking "dogs raised as pets" and "dogs raised as meat", but I suggest you take a closer look, google it up. There are "meat dogs" but there are also plenty of abandoned or stolen pets gathered and raised together with the "meat dogs". The larger pet dogs can be sold as meat but the smaller ones, they make into Gae-Soju (dog-tonic) which is supposedly good for your health.

Hanging "meat" dogs (note the white one, which is not a common "neuronggi" or yellow dog that is commonly used as meat dog. also note that the white dog wasn't raised on a dog farm, it still has its collar on. the dog thinks someone took him out for a walk) :

Holy F**k these people are cruel. People??? ANyone who does this is not human.
Thank you for the truth. This story makes me sick to my stomach.Really.
@Robin – You're welcome. One should know how the meat dogs are treated before saying "it's okay to eat dog meat, it's part of their culture blah.."
I should note that many Koreans are indeed against dog eating practise, many consider it a shameful thing. Actually, the dog industry recently stated that their sales have declined. That's why they wanted to have a dog-meat festival. Dr Dog Meat (Ann young-geun) is one of the fiercest pro dog-meat guy in Korea. He's a professor in nutrition but still make crazy claims like : Dog meat is good for your stamina. It makes your knees warm. It makes your white hair turn black. It remedies depression, strengthens your intestines and you won't believe all the crap he is saying and writing. The thing is, he has a degree and has a title. Therefore many people believe what he says. He claims he's researched over 10 years on dog meat and its benefits but can't name one, back any of his claims with scientific methods. Instead he falls back on ancient Asian medicine (where you once believed a leaf shaped like a lung would cure lung diseases) and there you don't need scientific backup. For him it's a win-win situation. Very sad.
I am so sad to see this kind cruelty on DOGS man best friend .
I feel a lot better about my English ancestors traveling around the world, kicking everyone's arse, and making them wear pants. Turns out they were right and other cultures are barbaric.
Dude, if they were barbarians it wouldn't matter so much, but these are good people in many ways. That's the really odd thing: how can they be so civilized and still eat dogs.
Hey! I eat cats! Ha! I kill me!
Cats are ok ALF. Taste like rabbits only the bones are different. Do you eat yours mustard style or red wine baked
?
Disgusting. Primitive. Unnecessary. Inhuman. Those farmers are monsters and the civilized western world should boycott everything South Korean. I know I will.
@ Siri – as I've said earlier, most Koreans are against this brutality and backward part of their "culture". What you guys can do to help isn't boycott but sign the petition to begin with :
http://www.uniteddogs.com/stopkillingdogs/
its just like "people in cambodia eat kids. its ok, thats their culture"... its just wrong, dogs have been interacting with humans in different ways for a long period of time now.
Ive been reading about this and neither Korea or China have dogs as traditional foods.
What's 'traditional?' Americans started eating macaroni and cheese around 1950. They eat dog now.
Dogs wouldn't hesitate to eat us!
@Eric – What's that supposed to mean? People sometimes eat people too. Civlized people. I'm sure you know the true stories about the football team that crashed in the Andes. Or Franklin's Terror expedition. I could go on.
I Have had some dog meat. It was great.
No offense intended to Asian people but it is about time they get rid of these non sense assumptions based on popular culture or legends that eating certain animals like dog , tiger or rhino will give them a lot of sexual stamina. it is a complete macho-ignorant approach that can not continue. these people fuel the black markets and poachers of endangered species like tigers and rhinos with their demand for these endangered animals.. and as far as eating Dog it is simply repulsive, common sense dictates these animals are domestic pets in all cultures and societies for long time in history. Governments in these countries should educate their people about these fundamentals of eating habits, making changes will not take away from other positive aspects of their ancient culture.
@Jorge – some men eat dog meat to increase their ability to give women pleasure, but most eat dogs during the "bok-days", the hottest days during summer, where dog meat is believed to remedy excess body heat. Which of course is completely baloney.
The Koreans were waiting with knives and forks when Snoopdog and little bow wow landed at Seoul Airport..
I'm sitting back and wondering how so many people can come out in support of dog-eating. As I read the comments, I can't help but think of a college freshman taking sociology 101 for the first time who thinks it's edgy to write a paper in support of female circumcision.
Dogs are for adopting, not garnishing.
You've obviously been well brainwashed by PetSmart's ads trying to sell you gourmet dog foods made by well known top chefs... or whatever the latest pet absurdity is.
American culture tells us dog is man's best friend; that doesn't apply in many countries around the world, and we can't hold those countries to our personal dietary practices. We are not talking about an endangered species here. Dogs are a plentiful species, so eat up if you're offered dog while vacationing. I'm sure it tastes pretty good!
Having enjoyed both, I can tell you that dog tastes better than horse. Guinea pig is nice, too:

Dog meat transport. They're treated like sacks of rice.
Have you ever seen a chicken killed at a farm? There's nothing pretty about butchering an animal, but it needs to be done before eating.
@ Mike – yes I know how chicken, cows, pigs are raised and slaughtered. I'm vegetarian.
I respect your opinion if you are vegetarian then, but for the others who eat meat (myself included), we can't say its wrong if we eat any other animals. Dog, chicken, pig...its all the same
@Mike – but the unnecessary cruelty that is involved in the dog meat industry – should we not be discussing it because the same cruelty (or worse) is happening to chickens every day?
It is not the same. The dogs are INTENTIONALLY tortured before being killed. The belief that that the meat will contain benefits if the dog is tortured before being killed. And I am a vegetarian as well but that makes no difference.
The best thing about eating dogs is they're really easy to catch because they come when you call them.
Your birth certificate is an apology letter from the condom factory. Yeah Sureeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee
@Yeahsure – Indeed. I've read stories where a backyard dog hobbyist farmer (usually keep couple of dogs as guard dogs or "pets" until they're ready for the meat market) took one of his dogs, beat it to tenderize the meat and somehow the dog got loose and ran away. The master called his dog back and he/she came back, tail wagging, the trust was still there. He, the master, of course continued to beat the life of of his dog.
What the hell is wrong with you?
What a stupid title to this story! What's "wrong" with eating dogs? Well for one thing, dogs have been man's pet for thouands of years. You don't eat a loyal companion. How about killing off some people if you have to resort to eating your pets. If the writer of story asks what's wrong with eating man's best friend, then ask what's wrong with killing off people?
I know many of you are being "piggies" but this hideous and heinus, however nothing new. Many coats you wear are adorned with dog fur this winter. Look @ your Made in China lables ya'll! Coming from Asia nothing is immune. These people still hunt and kill whale. dolphin, big cats...uyou name it! They are a ruthless society. Void of heart! Doesn't anyone have an ounce of empathy in them. It's disgusting. There should be many more Buddhists among us....be a kinder, gentler world.
All claiming the side of the dogs: you are IGNORANT to the ways of other cultures, and most seem to be trolls. If your country is poor, and dog is the meat available, you WILL eat it. This is what is wrong with our western culture, always quick to criticize, without any knowledge, just our feelings. For shame.
Minced dog meat pie with Yam. Tender flakes of dog meat marinated in oyster sauce served on triscuit. Side of greens and grape pop to wash it down with. Delish....
I would never eat my dog cause then it I wouldn't have that dog available to lick peanut butter off my genitalia.
im korean. i don't eat dog, nor does anyone in my family. or any of my friends for that matter. what's with all of the racial insults and attacks. RUDE.
I own a dog, but what about the mice and birds that my dog catches and eats when I'm not around. Who's gone to protect them. And, how about them damn lions and bears. They just think they can eat anything. Who's gone to stop the sharks and alligators. Animals must be subjected to the same laws if they want us to protect them. Until, then, it is a eat or be eaten world!
Only savages eat their companions.
Only children play with thier food.
I hope everyone who posted that this is disgusting and should be abolished realizes that opinion is just that… an opinion, which is based on your individual cultural and social upbringing. In contrast, consider that hindus from India believe cows to be sacred (not just their alleged best friend) and the consumption of beef to be morally reprehensible. However, Americans consume beef more than any other meat, and in massive quantities at that. You don't see or hear about Hindus, who have a large population in the U.S., attempting to abolish our beef consumption, let alone complaining about it. This is because, as demonstrated by this comment board, they posses something the average American does not: an understanding and respect for other cultures. Grow up people. A dog is a dog and they're all born that way. It only becomes your alleged "best friend" if you raise it that way. Just like a pig is a pig unless you raise it to be your best friend (and thus become attached to it). Stay classy America.
Why would you respect a culture that intentionally tortures dogs because they believe that tortured dog meat imparts special health benefits?
First, I never said torturing dogs was okay. Stop manipulating what I said. Second, if you believe that raising dogs to eat them later is torture, then we've been torturing cows, chickens, pigs, sheep, turkey, etc. for years. And I'd be willing to bet, given our capitalistic nature, that the method in which we choose to raise these animals for consumption is far worse than anything those dogs in S. Korea are facing. I was only trying to make one point: You need to stop trying to understand other cultures through the lens of your own. Not all countries place the same high premium on dogs as pets that the U.S. does. In fact, there are many cultures that don't give a damn about dogs; and that's okay because it's their society and their culture, which they have been shaping for 1000s of years, and therefore, it's there right. In a nut shell, don't belittle another culture because it differs from yours; especially for something as trivial as a dog. Why not waste your time on something that benefits your own kind, such as world hunger, the economy, or spreading world peace. Or hey, here's a novel idea, why don't you do something about the environment. I bet your dog would appreciate that.
i, too, think it would be disgusting to eat dog meat, but that is only because of my culture. When you think about it, eating dog is no worse than eating beef or pork. So let them, as long as they don't steal someone else's pets, and the dogs are treated humanely while alive.
Of course, dogs are not an economical source of meat because dogs need to be fed high-priced food (i.e. they are meat eaters) so dog will remain a delicacy and not for mass consumption.
@kls817 – farmed dogs are fed with food waste. Old fermented kimchi etc.
Obvious trolling by CNN here. Eating dogs may not be morally worse than eating pigs, however, dogs are revered in American culture. There doesn't need to be logic behind this, it's just our culture. I'm sure the writer understands this...
Okay, since everyone here seems to be quite opinionated and overly bothersome, I'll happily lay this out for all of you. For centuries, Dog meat has been used in Korea, along with Horse, Fish, Whale, Pig, chicken, and Cow meat. It's a common enough meat that it is served in many restaurants, and is eaten by a fair majority of the population.
Now, every person that screams that this is wrong and immoral. Shut up, sit down, and learn that another country is not going to change their centuries old way of life just because YOU think it's immoral and wrong. That would be like going to France and telling the people there that they have to speak English because you don't speak their language and they're "supposedly" being intolerant towards you.
It's stupid to claim that you know better and try to force another culture to change. Oh wait, too late, we've been doing that for over 150 years.
@Phil – I agree it's a sensitive thing to openly criticize a culture that isn't yours but the criticism comes from within. In Korea, demonstrations are held every week against dog eating. Thousands and thousands of Koreans write petitions, try to educate people, raise awareness.
What we do is tell them "Learn English, or our music and tv will go right over your heads." They don't have to change and become Americanized, but they do, and that's why the Arab countries are so scared of us. Our culture dominates, and when we disapprove of eating dogs, they will bend to our will in the end because they have become us. It's why we can't keep the Mexicans out, and why people speak English everywhere.
You eat what you are ! Korean's love to do it "Doggie Style".
" They're treated like sacks of rice." Worse!!!! That large dog was picked up by the ears and thrown into the cage. How can they expect 4 or 5 puppies to fit in a box that small. With treatment like that, I wouldn't be surprised if the quality of the meat was very very poor.
The Chinese have been eating dogs for thousands of years. The only reason some of you people have something to say is because dogs are cute and cuddly. If this was a article about someone stopping a trailer full of cattle then there wouldn't be a forth of the comments. Does anyone know that we are overfishing bluefin tuna to the point that they could be extinct in 3 years?(source: http://www.reuters.com/article/2009/04/14/us-tuna-extinction-idUSTRE53D00320090414) Does anyone care? No, because they aren't cuddly like dogs. There are a LOT of extremely idiotic comments here. Like, an extremely depressing amount...Think before you speak, people.
@Taylor – we can't discuss everything at once can we. If you want to discuss beef, pork, chicken industry fine, I'm all open for it.
Earthlings, Farm to fridge, you can pick any of them and we'll discuss that if you want.
But AFAIK the topic for today is dog meat.
@taylor "Think before you speak, people."
Seems like u have to tell that to yourself
i'm a vegetarian but after seening this article i'm now converting!
I'm american, and have to say that there is nothing whatsoever wrong with eating dog over/above what some people (not myself) would consider wrong with eating any other animals. Ditto with Rabbit and Horse. It's not like any of them are endangered and need protection from over hunting.
There is no difference between a dog and a cow or a pig. Heck, from what I understand, Pigs are far more intelligent than your average dog, so it's not like intelligence is some deterministic for what's ok to eat and what isn't.
It's not my problem that so many people lack such confidence/real friends that they have to rely on food for companionship.
Sometimes I wanna eat my cats, but the wife gets pissed at me when I say that... Oh well...
Go cook up some hamburgers in India and see how well that goes over. Dogs, cows, horses, whatever, some people eat one, other people eat the other, so long as you're not going around pilfering animals out of peoples homes and yards who cares. It's a food source.
You should eat your wife stead, you freak.
India has 190,000,000 muslims they all eat beef.
and 827,578,868 hindus who don't (source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism_in_India)… yet, they seem to be capable of living together without disparaging each other for something as trivial as what they eat. Id tell you to respect other cultures but you clearly lack an ounce of understanding and intelligence and your head is so far up your ass you can taste whatever animal it is YOU ate for lunch. Grow up peter pan
if i hear one more story of horny ignorant men justifying the slaughter and destruction of this planet and the creatures on i think i will puke.. human kind will never evolve as long as stupid ignorant horny men control the world.. they are freaking hopeless!
"So, what's really wrong with eating dog? Just because we don't do it in the U.S. doesn't seem to make for a very good argument."
Cannibalism is performed in some countries. Just because we don't do it in the U.S. doesn't seem to make for a very good argument?
that's nice. now try answering the question instead of just spamming it up.
if the dog is farm raised and processed like any other meat, nothing is wrong with it. At the same time I don't have an issue with keeping a pig or chicken as a family pet.
@curzen – One of the reasons Taiwan banned dog meat for consumption was that they concluded it is impossible to raise meat dogs in a humane way.
I'm pretty sure breeding and inventiveness can overcome that problem. Beyond that: Hunt strays like deer or rabbit then.
@ Curzen – Yes, the farmers are indeed inventive. Some pierce the puppies' eardrums to suppress barking.
QUESTION: If dogs ruled the world, how do you think they would treat us?
It is repulsive to eat a cow in India but millions of cows are killed in the U.S
It is repulsive to eat a dog in US but thousands of dogs are killed in Korea
it a difference of idea so don't judge them for it
All animals are meat. All humans are animal. :Humans are meat. The great chain of life is awesome as long as you are the top predator.
I've had dog overseas. It's not bad, kind of similar to buffalo actually, but I much prefer beef, lamb, pork, chicken, fish and many of the other wonderful animals we humans eat. What's the big deal? If you eat meat, choosing dog over beef is not a lot different from choosing to eat pig brains over bacon.
And yes, I own a dog, and a cat (I've eaten cat, too, can't recommend it) and no, I won't eat him or let anyone else eat him.
Its all culturally relative. Singer wrote years ago in Animal Liberation that we are speciesist. That is, we favor ourselves. No argument there. The argument for intelligence being a bar to eating some animal fails if you take retarded non thinking humans or infants into the equations. Ie its not ok to eat a person just because they are brain dead or not intelligent. 1000 lbs of bush meat from high apes is consumed annually in London alone. Look it up. I'm a grandson of a butcher and eat meat, preferably good meat. But I'd rather be on the vegetarian side of the debate if push came to shove. We eat other animals only because we can. No right or wrong, no divine permission, no need.
Why is every odd bit of an animal considered to be good for "stamina" in Eastern culture?
That crap doesn't do anything for anything, yet you always hear about how poachers are grinding up rhino horns, tiger dong, and all sorts of foolish stuff and selling it as some kind of "sexual effect" placebo.
All it really tells me is that there are a lot of people in those cultures who are 1) rock stupid and 2) can't get it up. Way to go.
First off if your country says its legal to eat dog then go ahead. The only problem is that will you kill an animal that is loyal to humans. Pigs won't die for you , most animals wont die for you. I would diie for my dog just like my dog would die for me.
Pigs do die for you . Every year numerous police officers are shot and killed.
Maude, if they were shot in the line of duty, then they probably weren't pigs. Pigs are the ones hiding behind the cruiser while the suspect runs away. Real cops aren't bullies or cowards.
There is a lot of talk here about different societies and cultures having the "right" to choose which animals are worthy of our love and mercy and which ones belong on our plates. Sadly, we as humans can't see past our own selfish needs and wants enough to give a thought about what the animals want. Think for a moment about those whose fate YOU decide every day. Might doesn't make right. Just because we CAN kill and eat animals for food simply because we like the taste of their flesh doesn't make it our birthright. It is not a matter personal choice or opinion because the decision you make does not only affect you – it causes pain and suffering to another creature. That's where your right to make food choices should end. The animal's right to live its life of its own free will trumps your right to eat it. If you're eating flesh, you are forcing your choices upon other living beings less powerful than you. And before anyone brings up the "food chain" argument, if man is at the TOP and we are the ruler of all, think for a moment what kind of responsibility that places on our shoulders. I'd say we're doing a pretty sh*tty job of being the superior species if all we do is view the rest of the living world as a giant smorgasboard.
Don't all top teir species view the species below them in their collective ecosystems as a giant smorgasboard as well? Couldn't the same be said of the shark of patrols the waters of our oceans viewing most things that he can catch as food? Is the same not true of the bit cats? Or bears? Or birds of prey? or Monkeys? Or giant snakes and reptiles?
I found the Earthlings argument to be weak and full of holes. Not to mention this idea of specisim, as being used by non-meaters to further their agenda, does not address the hypocrisy surrounding the eating of many plany species. To cut down, slash and burn and uproot causes just as much death and suffering to plants as it does to animals. Not to mention that there are lots of new studies out that show, tilling or plowing the earth for feilds to plant is extremely damaging to the ecosystems in the soils. After a field is tilled just a few seasons, the damage done to the soil takes decades to reverse.
Our way of seeing dogs doesn't have to be everybody's way of seeing dogs. I feel that I must respect cultures that eat dogs. But nothing is black and white. I abhor the practice and cannot imagine doing it myself. But that is only because of the very closer relationships I have had and currently have with dogs. Spend some time with a bull that would otherwise be slaughtered for meat. You'll get to know the bull, the bull will get to know you, you will interact, and eventually you might find it barbaric to eat beef. Some people already feel that way. If you find it hard to eat dog meat, consider the fact that you eat other animals. I say this as one who enjoys a juicy flank steak every once in a while.
i have nothing but disgust for this artlice i am sick that this is going on
Them eating dogs explains a lot of things. I think I understand them as "people" much better and where all the dogs are disappearing to in my neighborhood since that Korean restaurant opened.
dog meat is advertised to help men with "stamina." Whale is advertised to help men with "stamina." Tiger, Rhino horn, gorilla, shark fin soup are advertised to help men with "stamina." What the heck? I guess if i wanted to sell something most find abhorrent i just have to make one certain non-scientific claim.
Anyone know how to start the rumor that all of these sources of protein actually ruin men's "stamina"...?
There people are animals...it only makes sense they would eat dog. Industralized or not...they will always live in the 3rd world in Asia.
Emily Lodish & all fucktards like ya Your birth certificate is an apology letter from the condom factory.end of story
wow, you posted something that wasn't about cannibalism
Hi
I am a self rightous zealot and if I dont do it you shouldnt either blah blah blah!
As a Muslim it is forbidden to eat dog so I don't do it, never have, and never will. Having had pet dogs I can't imagine eating them or cats but I don't think you cant make a good argument why you can eat pigs or maybe other animals. I say pigs because they are omnivores like Dogs. Cows only eat grass, you can make an argument for that. Still this is about culture, and western dominated culture that has been imposed on Asian nations. That is what makes this wrong. Hindus would be just as disgusted at you eating a cow.
YUSUF
It's Harram to have a dog as a pet. Check the Ahadith...
And if a person eat's pig they'll eat anything !!!
This article was written by an idiot.
No, it's a bit argumentative and sensational, but factual as well. She explains the dog slaughter and the reasons pro and con, and invites commenters to discuss it. Would you have preferred to go on thinking that nobody ever ate dogs? the article is not pro-dogmeat.
They only real reason I can think against eating dog meat is the fact that they were domesticated to become companions and working dogs. Science has shown that dogs can actually "love" (as measured by the production of oxytocin in the brain) a human and a human can love his pet dog. Dogs have evolved to be able to communicate with humans and be their friends and helpers. So essentially their purpose for existing as they are is not to be eaten. Other animals, like cows and pigs, were domesticated to become food. I wouldn't say it goes against nature to eat a dog, but it goes against their essential purpose.
If hijackers attacked that truck and a dog got loose, odds are that it would instinctively jump to defend the driver against the attackers. That pack instinct "I got yer back, homey!" is why we hooked up with dogs in the first place.
In India, cows are considered sacred and are not butchered and eaten!
The West should stop forcing their logically flawed "moral outrage" unto other people! I don't see Indians camped outside steakhouses protesting here in the US!!!
This is as much a symptom of Euro-centrism as anything!
I love dogs! I grew up in a house that always had loveable pet dogs! Most of my childhood memories include our family's German Shepperd! However, I am not STUPID and hypocritical enough to judge others for eating dogs when I choose to eat chicken, beef, pork, lamb etc!
It is HYPOCRITICAL! Plain and simple!
Puppy stew anyone? How about puptarts?
This is a stupid article written by a stupid person. CNN, are you kidding me? Did Michael Vick ghost-write this article?
She's not saying you should eat dogs, man. Good grief. She doesn't approve of it, but notes that it is a widespread practice. Don't be shooting the messenger.
As a former animal rescue tech with the Humane Society my opinion on this is very bias , Eating dogs is wrong IMO , although i see the allure of having food that comes when you call it !! That said ,having been to the worst possible locations and seeing the worst conditions in which some people in this country treat and house their animals , we are no better than those who eat these animals. Millions of unwanted animals are put to death in this country yearly, thousands more starve to death or die from abuse or neglect , not just dogs but every animal you can think of at least one starved to death today, because someone chose not to feed it! I'e seen them beaten,burned,choked,forgotten,shot,infested,you name it, everything from Anaconda's to Zorilla's ( it's a type of weasel) and everytime i see it i think how could someone do this to a helpless animal? but then as i eat my cheesburger lunch i remember how! in Korea and is some parts of China and Japan and well most Asian countries, dog is perfectly acceptable food. Here we eat beef and pig , in India cattle are sacred and the thought of eating one is revolting , in Muslim countries eating pig is concidered unclean, by these standards who are we to judge? I can only hope these animals are treated well prior to their killing and that the killing is done in a humane fashion!! but who knows ? I hope the same for our Chickens, Pigs , and Cattle but who knows ? my guess is that they are not ! take Veal for example before you condem the Korean's for eating dog Google the process for growing Veal , then head to the nearest Olive Garden for some Parmesan! Again my opinion ,eating dog is wrong , but if my family was starving ,come here boy!!
It is not done in a humane fashion – the conditions are as bad if not worse than puppy mills, only it ends in deliberate torture

Here's my question: Millions of Dogs are being killed in Shelters in US, why not use that meat to feed the needy ones who can't afford to buy a single meal a day? I am completely against any sort of cruelty but that meat is gonna get wasted, why not use it for a good purpose.
But as far as I'm concerned, I'd never touch that meat for whole different reasons.
There's you answer: we don't eat dog meat because we don't eat dog meat. "Welcome to the night shelter, bums and hoboes. Tonight we're feeding you derelicts a stew made of dogs, because you are homeless." No thanks, and they ALL walk out.
Dogs re not eaten ecause they are the most loyal (that's LOYAL) to the human being of any other animal. Dogs help us survive. To kill and eat them would be an act of murder and utter cruelty.and betrayal. Dogs would give up their lives for us;out of LOYALTY and we should return that favor.
Dogs are loyal to stay a live. We, the arrogant humans have brought them out of their habitat, taking away their natural self preservation and have forced them to become dependent on us to stay alive. They know without us they die of starvation and therefore they act loyal and possibly give their lives to save ours. This is not intelligence or real human version of loyalty but it is pure animal instinct,,,
Dogs are no different than any other animal! If you eat any meet you should stop blaming South Koreans for eating Dog Meat...
Emotions aside. I can understand and even extend a little sympathy to our Korean allies because their culture condones eating dog. I hope they are able to make changes internally to their society. But, I have a real problem with Americans who think it is o.k. to eat dog meat because it's all relative and they do it in Korea. If an American goes to Korea and eats dog, then truly he or she is lost. As an American, you should not violate American customs and morals just because you go overseas.
"then truly he or she is lost." You are an extremely judgmental guy, and I think you are getting a little too close to it.
Someone commented everything is ok as long as your at the top of the food chain, and they are right. We rationalize and judge, but as soon OUR lives are in danger, it's a different story. If a tiger or a great white shark eats one of your family members, I doubt the "well that's the food chain" arguement would go over very well.
BTW, this story is the worst example of trolling that I have ever seen on CNN.com.
There's nothing morally wrong with eating dogs. It's just culturally we have grown attached to dogs, perceiving them as companions rather than food. It's the same with cats, horses, etc. Many people don't eat beef, because it is considered sacred.
I'd post a comment based in anthropology, biology and morality but, I feel like it would be wasted on most of you morons...
There are a lot of animals much smarter than dogs that humans eat. Companionship is also a poor reason not to eat the meat as well. Many people- myself included keep chickens as pets for their eggs. I still eat chicken. It's idiotic that eating dog is opposed/illegal.
Why not eat South Koreans instead? Higher in protein and worthless otherwise. Or maybe BBQ Newborn babies...you could have a fine rib festival with those. Eating dogs is a savage practice and any culture that does so should be exterminated down to the last fetus.
Why, precisely? Humans regularly consume animals which are more intelligent than many breeds of dog (pigs, for example), which have been similarly raised and altered for domestication. Do you have any sort of ethical argument for your position, or are you just making an emotional outburst because you're used to thinking of a dog as a pet? What about cultures that consider other animals sacred or pets and eat dogs–do they get to turn around and say the US should be exterminated "to the last fetus" because our social mores are different than theirs with respect to which animals are sacrosanct?
Try to take the moral high ground on stuff like this, pup. When you start out saying we should kill and eat THEM, you make them look better than you because they are just eating dogs. It's like "I'm a baby-killer and I think you should be like me." If eating dogs is wrong, it's wrong; threatening them doesn't make your terms more exact. And they don't all even like dog, so going medieval on them all would be like bombing the whole US just to get the Lady GaGa fans.
@Puppy – let's not revert into racism here. Pardon me, but in America anywhere between 3-4 millions of pets are abandoned every year. Systematical torture of cattle, approved by the industry is happening 24/7. I don't hate Americans because I know most are decent loving people.
Did you know your pork was produced this way?
http://www.mercyforanimals.org/pigabuse/
Go veggie... problem solved.
Many pigs are smarter than most breeds of dog. There's no real ethical difference between eating dog and pork; we're just used to thinking of them as pets.
@Cass314 – I agree. Pigs are intelligent animals and should be treated as such.
But when people say dogs are man's best friend, it's not just empty words. Take a look at the video clip I posted showing a typical dog farm in Korea. I reckon there are 70+ dogs there, and virtually every one of them welcomes the camera man, wagging their tails and want to establish contact. It's their instinct to wanting to be close to humans.
Emily lodish, you wrote a article like this in the US without taking side and you ask what really wrong? To a degree, you could argue that nothing wrong since they are just 'meat', right or wrong is determine by the public acceptance! There's more people in the US believe that's wrong, so that's wrong.
Good man. Benny, I gotta go, can you take over pointing out to these nuts that Lodish is NOT saying we should go eat a dog?
WHATS WRONG WITH EATING YOUR KIDS YOU IDIOT NATION
Hey, that's MY modest proposal.
Kind of like eating your young isn't it?
As a Southerner, my ancestors did something morally wrong by keeping slaves. We were invaded, our cities were burned, and we were forcibly set on a different path by extremely judgemental people. Was it wrong to keep slaves? It was part of our culture. In Germany, they decided to gas the Jews and the Gypsies. That was part of their culture. Where does it stop. At some point, someone has to be judgmental. It might as well be me. If you eat dogs, I think you are barbaric and, when possible, I would rather not buy products from you.
Yeah, I live in the South, and you are right; they had to nail us to the cross before even half of us admitted we'd been penning and driving humans as cattle and even today they fly that flag and insist they were right. Changing a culture is hard.
Exactly, nobody cut the American South any slack. So, if other cultures do morally reprehensible things like fly planes into buildings, eat dogs, or sell 9-year-old girls into the sex trade, there is NO reason to cut them any slack. We don't have to look the other way and say, "When in Korea, do as the Koreans..."
This is actually a valid moral question that I've asked myself many times, and a worthwhile discussion to have in this country. We make value judgements as to which animals are acceptable to eat, but the line really is totally subjective. In the US we find eating dogs and cats to be repugnant, but in other countries these animals are not given the same place in people's homes, therefore, they aren't viewed as "companions." Pigs are actually smarter than dogs and can be just as loving and playful with humans. If you raise a pig with kindness it will bond with you the same way a dog will. Pigs are also closer to humans biologically, yet most Americans have no problem eating bacon. Eating cows is horrifying to people in some countries, yet we do not hold them in any kind of regard. To them, we seem like the savages. I do not eat pigs because of their intelligence. I admit to some hypocrisy here because my attempts to become a total vegetarian throughout my life have failed. I admit that I am weak. I like cheeseburgers and steaks A LOT, so it's a constant struggle. I do feel bad eating animals though, so will try and try again. For a while I didn't eat anything I wouldn't be willing to kill myself, which left me with fish and chicken. My long term goal is to eventually get to the point where I don't eat anything that will try to escape if someone attempts to eat it. People can make the argument that humans are designed to be omnivores, but most of us don't need to consume flesh in order to be healthy anymore. Obviously, not everyone has a choice, due to finances and availability, but most Americans can get whatever they want at the local grocery store. We choose to kill and consume other creatures, but most of us do it simply because they taste good. To give some animals status over others seems a bit empty to me, but I understand it. I'd never eat a dog because they are cute, but at least I know that isn't the best reason to give.
This is one of the worst things that I have seen!!! Find another source of food or quit populating as fast as you do!!! This will not help your relationship with the United States!!!
Eat em all you retards. Dogs, pigs , maggots, roaches and your own feces.
Rapture is coming soon ! I am tired of the human species. I say kill them by flooding and deases. Let the dogs rome free.
With a mouth that that, you should be afraid of the rapture. Whoever raised you did a bad job. People irritate me too, but they are the only people we've got. Get away from the keyboard and go talk to some humans. We aren't so bad.
No wonder why on Earth we have microscopic bugs that can convert animals (including humans) in to dead meat in just a few days. All part of the natural balance, especially, when some neurons get wacky!
Well that just took South Korea off my "to visit" list. I almost didn't open the article to read because I knew it'd make me sick.
Hi, this is your pet dog Max. Thought I'd write a little note. I got together with the German Shepherd next door and that little Wire-haired Terrier across the street and we decided to eat your kids. It was fun running them down. Hope you don't mind. Thanks.
Hey Max, when you have some spare time could you and your buddies stop by my house please? When you're done if there is anything left I will fix you up some "doggie bags" to take home for the rest of your friends!
I think that only vegetarians should be critical of eating dogs. Meat eaters eat a lot of cute and cuddly animals.
I eat mostly chicken and fish; you cuddle chickens? Hug fish? Maybe a really young cow might be cute, but the big ones are like dumpsters with eyes.
I think it's really strange when people get Anthropological all of a sudden and anti-imperalist and start spouting off things like "What right do we have to tell people that yadda yadda". The answer of course that we have EVERY right to speak out against killing and eating of dogs. We created dogs (most breeds are the result of Roman women's activities) from their Wolf brethren. We've so modified and changed them to be intelligent and useful companions that it's now in their DNA. They are basically born trusting of humans and wanting to be faithful companion pets to the human species - it's part of who they are and we made them that way. Eating something that only want to be your friend, REALLY wants to be your friend, help around the farm, guard homes, watch over children and isalmost completely incapable of surviving on it's own deserves our protection and support regardless of whether it infringes on cultural food norms. Save a dog, eat a chicken.
Stop pushing your world view on us here in America.... the rest of you need to be more like us, not the other way around. WE DON'T EAT DOGS in America...period. Be civilized. Its bad enough I have to put up with third-world behavior on a daily basis here in Los Angeles. Lets keep some things American.... please!
What's wrong with eating dog meat?
EVERYTHING!!!!!
Dogs are better than people in every possible way!
It's sad that humans have long used animals for food, sport, amusement, work, etc. If you want some real education, just do a little research about how food animals are raised. Dogs were bred for many things that humans wanted, warmth, security, protection, etc. now food, too. What a disappoinment that we have to put them on a plate as well. Just another example of humans all for themselves. For the record, I am a vegetarian.
There go those pesky American Liberal Fascists again – dictating to the rest of the world how to live American style. It's just plain sick. It's time we start valuing rather than obliterating other cultures.
um... so your saying that the republican people who worship a man born of a virgin, who rose after death, aren't spouting the same self righous moralistic thrash?
Jack, hate to burst your bubble but I don't think the people screaming KILL ALL KOREANS DROP BOMBS ON THEIR BABIES OMG SAVE FIDO are all liberals. Here's a helpful guide for you:
(a)Conservative view of eating dogs: "Gag, retch. NO!"
(b)Liberal view of eating dogs: "Gag, retch. NO!"
As you can see, this is not a left-right issue, but a choice between 'puke' and 'retch.'
Pooch, watch a documentary called Earthlings (free for viewing online) to see just how the animals are treated. Some Asian countries, such as China, have ZERO animal welfare laws to protect them from unnecessary suffering. That's why many animals are often skinned and chopped up while they are still alive and fully conscious! Same thing happens in the US, only it's well-hidden behind slaughterhouse walls. But don't take my word for it. Watch Earthlings before forming a final opinion about the subject.
Not much meat on a dog but why do we in the USA not eat horse ?
The idea of killing and eating dogs is to me, absolutely DISGUSTING AND CRUEL!!!!
Well this gives a whole new meaning to DOGGY bag! Personally we think it's gross and disgusting, but since you insist... here is a tasty menu for you morbid rejects:
Sautéed serial killer with onions, pedophile pancakes, molester meatloaf, braised drug dealer with cannabis gravy , kidnapper kabobs, bank robber bread pudding, abuser on a skewer, deep fried drunk driver, arsonist flaming baked Alaska, sodomite sausage with sauerkraut, fugitive fudge, rapist ravioli, morbid meatballs. Animal killer Ala mode.

I wonder why they never mention that people in Switzerland eat dog meat too. Hundeschinken is a Swiss delicacy that is still legal and eaten in Switzerland.
@scotester – and how many Swissies (sp?) eat dogs? 100 people could probably count them on their fingers.
The Swiss have such a large appetite for dog meat that they consume the largest amount of dog meat per capita. They also export their national dog, the Saint Bernard to China for the meat trade. Russia is another country that exports dogs to China for the meat trade. And if you think that's gross. It is a common European practice to feed the carcasses of deceased pets (cats, dogs,etc.) to cows and pigs and to recycle pets back into pet food. Ironically it is the Swiss government that took the unprecedented step of writing up new legistraton in an attempt to grant dogs,cats, marsupials and other pets full citizenship under the law. The legislation upgrades the legal status of pets from domesticate to citizen. But dogs raised specifically for the purpose of human consumption are not considered pets and thus not protected under the law.
Switzerland is very good at the PR game, which is why so many people in the US (and the world) don't know about the Swiss' love for dog meat.
@scotester – thanks for the data. Not that I don't believe you but I'd like to have some references to "...they consume the largest amount of dog meat per capita." I knew they export St Bernhards to China, that alone is disgusting since they know what'll happen to them. Didn't know Russia traded dogs.
http://wolf.ok.ac.kr/~annyg/english/image/pic_5.gif
@scotester – how is that guy's (dr dog meat) home page a reliable source? He mixes truth with fiction. Claims Philippines and Chinese eat dog. Truth is, only certain areas in China consume dogs. And dog eating in Philippines is banned.
First, not only east asian eat dog meat, I asked people from Vietnamm, Thailand, Indonesia and Phlipinno, most of them knew that dog meat are eating in their countries but usuall they don't admit that as it cause discrimination.
I am an east asian, and i have been in Europe in two years. I would like to say that a large percent of Europeans complaining eating dog meat are just racists. It is nothing about the wrong or not of eating dog meat. it is about the respect to human being from a different culture and a different economic situation.
Those people always complain that is immoral to eat a dog, but they never realize that still in many place in asia, people can't even afford a meat dinner once a week! It is true that some asians believe that dog meat have special effect to human health but also large number of people eat dog only because it is affordable than other cattles.
Even for the people who believe eating dog is good to the health, it is normal and should be understandable for Europeans as it is from a different culture! I have a lot of friends from south Asian and I never, never heard about any Indians or Bangaldesh complain to Europeans that they are eating their god! this is more serious blasphemy! And the truth is here in Europe, a lot of young people complain to me and other asians why asian are eating dogs! And I can feel that they believe we are dirty and unciviliation because of this...
Work on your civilization. As for the Indians, they are just here to take our jobs.
Take YOUR jobs? We were here first, whitey. You speak with forked tongue, and I'll put the fork there myself with my tomahawk.
@Alex – it's wrong to eat dog meat because dogs are born with a natural bond to humans. Call it instinct. Look at the farm clip I posted and observe how all dogs are wagging their tails, wanting to establish contact with the camera guy.
As for the racist part – I agree some of the comments here are too harsh. But you cannot defend your food culture if the criticism comes from within your own country. Many Chinese and Koreans are vehemently against the dog eating practice. And culture evolves, it's not static. Catalonia banned bull fighting – do we think they're less Spanish because of it? No, we applaud them. You will not lose your identity because you quit eating a certain dish that's supposed to be part of a culture.
@ Spammer, if you have chance to see how people slaughter cow, you will find out that cows has consciousness more than dog. Before they were killed, most of the cow will cry and bend down their knees for lives. I don't have any over describe about that, I eat beef, but I know the truth. so what is the difference between cow and dog? even cow are more important animal in an agricultural society. can we say people abandon after they evolved to an industiral socity? And dog is more important because morden people are more alone needs company than ancient times?
One more thing: I know the guys who run two of the Asian restaurants in my town, and they both get very angry at the mention of dog or cat meat. They are good people and take their reputation seriously. It's not a funny joke to them, and now I can see why . . .
in the U.S and many other countries people eat cow and its normal but in some parts of India eating of cow is a NO DO just like in most of the muslim countries in the middle east pork is a taboo and else where its normal...........so the point here is just because u don't eat a particular type of food doesn't mean eating it is wrong
Well, if you're comfortable eating dog meat, why not baby meat? How about eating low IQ humans? Here's why, humans get more benefit from a living dog, cat, bird (etc.) when it becomes our pet and we care of it - than we get from a fleeting meal.
Is that a modest proposal I hear?
Wow, what a hot topic! I raise meat rabbits. The secret is to love your brood stock as pets, but don't become attached to the yourng being raised for meat.
_aleph_
Humane who got God gifted brain/power and due to that became most crual and selfish. Why should we use any animal? Are they don't feel pain? Since you are powerful that doesn't mean you should use your pwoer to kill any one. but surely this shows that Animals have more brain and eats what they are suppose to eat. Since Dog is faithful animal for you, Pig keeps the community clean by eating all humane waste, Cow gives milk, so you are leaving them . that means you are not loving them but the benifit you are getting is keeping them safe. Scientist have been claiming that humane body is made for vegitables not for meats as we comes from Monkey who eats fruits not meat.
Our brothers in poor country are not getting enough to eat but other brothers in rich are spending 10 pound graind to acheive 1 pound of tasty meat without caring that if you become vegy, there is ample food in the world to keep no one hungry.
Think twise and try to be very....
Read this and had to try it! Nabbed my neighbors Chihuahua and fired up the grill. Didn't know I was supposed to slaughter it first so there was a lot of fuss from it when I tried to close the lid on the grill. Noise from the grill has now stopped. Will let cook for a while (any suggestions on how long?) before adding barbeque sauce. Let you know what I think after I eat.
Its very simple why we shouldn't eat dogs. Mankind created dogs by thousands of years of selective breeding to be what they are today. Dogs are an animal that is meant to exist as a companion to humans. We bred them to be loyal and empathic. Dogs love us, they protect us, they work for us...they were bred to have a true connection with humans. Why would you turn around and eat a creature which is by its genetic nature there to serve, protect and love humans beings?
There's plenty of protein out there. There's no reason for people to be eating dogs.
"Mankind created dogs", really? We CREATED DOGS? That statement invalidates anything you have to say. Why are you wasting air by breathing? It is not to nourish your brain that is obvious!
spammerstakeahike
Thanks for all the info you're posting and your good observations.
@Plus – You're most welcome.
when I see people eating my pets it makes me sad
Why don't we attack Africa for eating chimps? Why don't we condemn the eating of mice "house deer" in China? Why not attack the "frog eating" French? etc., etc., etc.... Why not attack vegans for eating plants? IT IS A DOG EAT DOG WORLD and that is the plain simple fact. Wait, with the way things are going the days will come when it will be a treat to people in this country (USA) to be able to find a dog to eat! You morons think all the rest of the world simply has a Pathmark down the corner where they can pick and choose from a pletora of foodstuffs. WAKE THE FU(K UP!!!
@What????: Let them eat plants. The vegetarian diet is healthier and has no moral issues. Wake up and smell the tofu. It can be made to taste like chicken. Humans evolved color vision so we could recognize ripe fruits and vegetables. Humans (and bears, interestingly enough) can live on vegetarian diets just fine. It's even in the Book of Genesis: God says "I have given you every green plant to eat." Words of wisdom.
Read on if you want to quote the Bible: Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
Leonardo da Vinci, arguably the greatest genius of the Renaissance, once predicted that a time would come when people thought of eating animals the same way we think of cannibalism. Leo was way ahead of his time indeed. Dog is man's best friend, not a menu item.
Nothing wrong with eating dog. It is the way of nature for predators to kill and eat. Higher predators kill and eat lesser predators. I don't like eggplant so I don't eat it. I don't like the idea of eating dog so I don't. I have an enormous amount of contempt for people that think nothing of endorsing the murder of hundreds of thousands of people to insure low cost oil but get all worked up about a few animals. If I was starving I'd eat a dog. Science has shown that roughly 90% of humans will resort to cannibalism to avoid starvation and particularly to prevent their children starving. If you are reading this you are just about guaranteed to not be on the 10% that would rather starve and watch their children starve. Grow up and get over it.
@Kraznodar: some people think there's nothing wrong with eating people either. Humans evolved as omnivores, not carnivores. We can survive by plants alone, but not by meat alone. It's simply wrong to eat intelligent, thinking beings, which humans and dogs are. Just as humans do, dogs plan and anticipate the results of their planning. They also feel emotions (love, anger, fear, joy) , as humans do. Dogs are what humans aspire to be: brave, loyal, selfless, and loving. A dog will freely give his life to save his human master. They are our friends, not our food.

You will not turn me into a vegetarian or vegan, period. Have you seen me suggest you veggie people should eat meat? My kitchen, my way; your kitchen, your way. It's obnoxious to have you pounding away at how stupid and horrible all of us meat-eaters are. There is no good reason for you pounding on me, any more than for me to pound on you. Even my darling dog understands when I say, "Leave it!". Same to you
Kimchi is very tastey!
The problem that Asians countries facing today is too many people living there and not enough food for evryone, I suggest that they eat each other and leave the animals alone.
This is just another stupid comment! Good grief, you vegans are so violent! You just keep talking about how meat-eaters of any kind should be killed or should eat each other. What on earth is the matter with you?
that's the problem with liberals "animal lovers"... they can't make the moral difference between animals and humain....
@Martin: the problem with conservatives is that they make no moral distinction between humans and animals. They say they are "pro life" but insist on executing human beings. And, once a kid is born, conservatives couldn't care less if the kid has food, shelter, or loving parents, yet the conservatives will insist that every pregnancy go to term, regardless of the choice that a woman makes. Conservatives have no moral compass. This is why conservatives attack liberal causes. Liberal causes are all about morality. Conservative causes are all about rigid ideology. And red meat.
Informing someone of your views is great.... imposing your views on everyone is autocracy.
Yes, there are people around the world who eat dog. The reason metioned in the article is stamina. I, however, lived in Korea for many years and the resons are more numerous.
At leats they are eating the dogs, people kill animals for sport and/or cruelty every day in tthe United States.
Hindu people outnumber americans as a whole 3 to 1. So since they are opposed to eating beef we should all stop right? Check yourself... inteligence is virtuous, judgement is not.
plants don't have brains or nervous systems & americans no brain at all.
I'm an African and I love dogs-I have four and we play like friends-One shouldn't eat dogs for the simple reason that the good books said one shouldn't eat them; remember? Eat only the hoofed animals... we have enough animals on the menu(excluding pigs too; they'll eat even a dead man) to eat even though we all know vegetarianism is best-Vultures, cats, dogs, Pigs, carrion eating animals, like Lions, eagle etc are not for food-see Leviticus-Are Goats, sheep, Cattle, Rabbit, fowls like; chicken, duck, turkey, doves etc not enough? In Nigeria, recently, a dog eating tribe ate all their dogs and were left without natural warning when their enemies came at night to kill them on their beds-:)
I love the debate, perhaps, it would save one dog's life!
Imagine creation, man was not even meant to eat animals at all; only seeds, herbs and fruits were meant for both man and animals-we only added them to the menu when God cursed the Earth not to yield its strength...Please save our friends-Ha, man, what would you not do to offend your creator without reason???
Human First – Pets are not people – is the truth... Emotionally charged phrases like pets are people too only works with animal lovers who have gone so far that have lost their bearings as humans.
If a human being thinks the rest of us are no different than the animals s/he has already shifted to the other side and should start calling him/herself an animal and not a human.

i do not eat dead things imagine eating mans best friend but you are for sure a living graveyard
I feel so disgusted, because I have a dog as a pet. Can imagine I eat my dog any time? It´s terrible think about it!
My mother died and nowaday my pet is my only companion in my house.
The love that we receive from dogs help us to feel alive when we´re alone. So People should stop to eat dog meat, it´s something inhumane!!!
I read some of the comments and my conclusion is: people leaving in reach countries have too much food on the market and too many options and don’t understand life in poor counties. When is one is hunger can eat everything, literary everything.
You son of a bitch, I have a husky and my wife and me is like our son, far from being a pet is part of the family, my son.
The practice of eating dog in Korea is fading away. Most of them are elderly who grew up with dog as a folk medicine. The youth of Korea have not developed a taste for it yet and prefer a hot fresh Krispy Kreme instead. There are more dog fighting operations in the U.S. like Michael Vick was once associated with than dog farming operations in Korea. Add to that the greyhound racing industry that has several owners that kill or abandon the animals when they can no longer produce at the track despite greyhound rescue groups that are willing to come pick them up and take them off their hands. Add to that the dog breeders in states like Missouri that have lobbyists to keep state regulators passing puppy mill friendly legislation. Spent five years stationed in Korea and while I knew there were restaurants serving dog, I never saw it. The government made it illegal before the 88 Olympics. They were still there, fewer in number, and you had to know where to look. And it was much more expensive than beef because it was illegal, it was a folk medicine and it was more expensive per pound to raise than cows.
@John – good observations. I agree mostly with what you wrote. But some younger people also enjoy dog meat. Younger men eat it for their sexual performance. Even some girls eat dog meat. As you know, some young Koreans have anti-Western sentiments (I'd say it's a result of a long and systematical brainwashing from the pro-stalinist people) and those people will go out and eat dogs just for the sake of it, whenever criticism is heard from the Western part of the world. So one have to tread carefully when venting criticism as a Westerner – the effect would most likely be the opposite.
"The government made it illegal before the 88 Olympics."it is not legal or illegal here,another american ignorant how many are you anyway
@Korean3 – well, if you read the law surrounding dog meat, you'd be surprised how even Koreans are confused by the wordings. Basically some part of the industry is legal and some part isn't. Officially dog meat is actually considered as "disgusting food". Add to the fact that law enforcement are doing very little to shut down any illegal operation. Occasionally you'd see a dog abuser (dog meat operator) being taken in for questioning after having bludgeoned a dog to tenderize the meat and got reported by passerbyes.
the country's animal protection law passed in 1991 considers dogs to be "domestic pets." however authorities are giving the dog meat trade their silent blessing by turning a blind eye to this outrageous bloodbath throughout SK the illegal industry has organized itself well.It bribes government officials and police, hires thugs to intimidate animal welfare campaigners, and persuades newspapers to extol the "virtues" of dog meat.all facts are out there go get them
@Korean – probably all true. Animal welfare law by the way is a joke in Korea. If you abuse your animal and get caught, authorites cannot take it away from you. You pay a small fine and that's all there is to it.
But amendments to the animal welfare laws in Korea is on their way.
we have over 600 farms raising dogs for meat in SK.get the facts and then come talk again.lets us fight this madness and stop eating dead corpses only vegans can talk in this pathetic american post
@Korean3 – nobody knows how many dog farms exist in Korea. Count in the bigger ones you probably are right in numbers but what about the many tiny backyard farms consisting of 10 dogs or less? Or the thousands of abandoned dogs that are caught and used as dog meat.
At least they are eating them and not letting them go to waste. In the United States we slaughter them and send them to land fill.
The issue, which people seem to be missing , is one of the ability to humanly raise and slaughter animals. Regardless if they are smart, can be pets, know how to talk, are sacred etc. – all animals, pigs, chickens, sheep, dog deserve to be housed, fed and killed in non distressing or cruel ways. The problem with dog as a meat animal is because of their diet and social habits there really is not an economic way to maintain a facility. The cost of a high protein diets and adequate space would make the expense of raising the animals more than the market would bare. Because of that the dogs are raised in extremely poor conditions with inadequate food and sanitary conditions, disease is rampant (some communicable to humans including rabies and cholera) so the dogs are pumped full of antibiotics. The meat produced is often very low quality and there are substantial health risks to the consumer. Any regulations that would make the HUMANE raising of dogs for meat viable would render it uneconomic. While regulation might lend respectability to the dog meat trade, it would ignore the fact that there is no humane, economically viable method of commercial dog meat production. The inherent nature of the animal makes cruelty free farming an impossibility. With herbivores this isn't the case. I'm not saying cruelty free is the norm for them, but it is possible and still profitable and also becoming more prevalent.
I will say the fact that the dogs die slowly in severe agony – the way they are killed is worse than any horror movie I have seen – is appalling. The slaughter of "standard" commercial animals (cows, chickens) is also often painful and should absolutely be improved upon, however the methods they use are designed for efficiency, NOT to purposely inflict as much pain as possible. I will throw out the morality card on that one. One of the reasons meat is aged and Kobe beef is slaughtered in specific ways is to prevent or break down the adrenalin that a scared animal releases in to the meat. It toughens it.
As for the "improved vitality and stamina" – show me the scientific study on that one. The same one that shows that ape, bear and tiger paws, rhino horns, shark fins – fill in any endangered animal part – do. Yeah, didn't think so. Just saying something provides a certain result doesn't make it so.
Dog eat Dog, so why not human eat dog?
Kind of gives a new meaing to Sheppard Pie!

I wonder about Koreans and other Asian countries since it is a fact that they also bury animals alive when doing mass exterminations due to communicable diseases. They have recently buried thousands of pigs due to Hoof & Mouth disease. Local villagers said they heard the pigs crying under the ground until they finally died. I think this is BARBARIC. Why these animals are not killed first is a legitimate question. Is it cheapness???? Too many cruel acts against "food sources" occur in these countries. Believing that torturing dogs to get a hard-on and have sexual stamina is plain pathetic. Torturing and skinning dogs and cats alive to get a more tender meat... plain old ignorant and disgusting. Who can defend this???
Buried alive? Gross!
No matter how much you post on this website, and no matter how much you are for/against eating dog meat, it's going to happen. We need to realize that some cultures are different that the standards in which you or I were brought upon. IF they want to eat a dog, then let them go ahead and eat one. These stories shouldn't affect your daily lives, and your affection for dogs. I have a dog, and reading this article doesn't change anything. I will always love my dog, and never EVER eat dog me. That's just me. WE need to learn to respect different cultures, and not arguing like idiots on this website!
Geez....
As mentioned by another poster, it was once culturally acceptable to own slaves. Or to allow children to work all day in a factory. Or to mass exterminate their own people. People both of those, and from other cultures, DID let these things affect their daily lives and I think the change was for the better. Saying " that is someone's culture we need to respect it" doesn't always make what they are doing acceptable or excuse people from pushing for change.
You are a dog owner who loves their dog, if someone were to grab it off the street, torture and beat it to death, and then say well that is acceptable in my culture, I have a feeling you wouldn't have quite the same live and let live attitude.
Being respectful of a different cultures view is different than the actions those culture chose to act upon. Owning slave, or completely wiping out a race isn't acceptable for any culture. Some cultures eat pork while others do not; some cultures eat beef while others do not.
If someone came and snatched my dog while walking him, beat him in front of my eyes, then that person would have to fun for his life. That's how we see our pets in America!
If that statement had anything to do with what is really going on in Korea, I might agree with you, but it doesn't. No one has even suggested the Koreans are snatching people's beloved pets right off the leash and beating them to death right in front of the owner then eating them! Where is the common sense in this "discussion"?
Eating dog is wrong because most people living in developed countries only have about the same mental capacity of a Golden Retriever.
This is so sad, The picture of that man petting that dog. I eat meat, beef, pork. but this is just different.Dogs are the most loyal creatures on earth. After seeing this article, I am extremely angry. If I saw the person or person`s killing these poor defenseless pets so they can have a delicacy I would certainly make sure, this would be their last day on this planet. I understand different cultures do different things, but this is just murder.This article opened my eyes. I have just made up my mind to become a vegetarian. I like dogs more than I like many people.How would the people killing these dogs like it the shoe was on the other foot, and it was them going to get slaughtered? I just can`t believe that humans can be that cruel.Wait until judgment day. Maybe they will be reincarnated as a dog!
Dogs do not behave as other animals do. If I start crying my dog stops whatever she is doing and crawls up in my lap and tries to cuddle up with me. I have never seen a cow, pig, whatever do that or even try. I had a pet chicken as a child and it couldn't give to figs about me and my well being. It is wrong to kill and eat something that cares so deeply about human beings. It is a betrayal of their trust and loyalty and to the bond that has been formed with humans. I cannot imagine taking a trusting loving dog and eating it. It sickens me. Anyone who would is a callus being.
Have you heard stories where a dog ate the owner after they died. Dogs will eat other dogs to survive.
Ann, very well said.
People need to have a bit of sense about some of this. We had a case in our area where a woman's beloved Rottie ate her 3 wk old baby (who was in her crib). As the dog was being removed from the house, the mother of the dead baby said, "Please don't take my dog, I can never replace my dog! I can have another baby!" This is a true incident, and appears to be reflective of the way many of you think. I love my dog, but not more than my children, and I'm not blind to a sensible order of life.
What's wrong with eating dog meat? You don't eat your friends.
All the talk about India and their sacred cows that they respect. Didn't you know India exports a huge volume of (cow) leather to the rest of the world?
I'd like to eat my neighbor's dogs – that at least would shut them up. Maybe I can find some good recipes on a South Korean cooking website.
Yes, that is a SMART questions. what IS wrong with eating dog? Now I come to think of it, what's wrong with eating people? If dog farm are OK, why not people farms, junk people, refreshing summer people soup and tasty barbecued people? If you can figure out what is wrong with that one, you might j u s t be able to figure out what is wrong with dog soup.
Why are posters here comparing eating dog to eating humans? Do you compare eating pigs and cows to eating humans?
Most Americans have never seen a cow cry, scream, and bawl with suffering, or mourn the separation of their calves, but we eat cows. Pigs are very intelligent and have personality, yet Americans eat those too. I don't eat my pets, but Americans think they are on some moral high ground because they don't realize that cows also have personalities and suffer. Is this humane? It's yet another pitiful cross cultural attack by some stupid pigly American. Oh yeah, sheep bleet like someone getting murdered when they are killed for meat too. Personally, I refrain from dog eating, but around the world people must eat.
I love me a hot DOG or even a good ole corn DOG! Yum Yum!
I'm sure you love yourself a hot dog between your buns too......!
The entire concept of right and wrong is based on the premise of popular culture. Currently, in America, the culture has dictated that dogs are man's best friend. Therefore, eating dogs in our minds is wrong. If another country's culture is to eat dogs, then it is not my place to judge them for what their culture deems okay. 60 years ago, this country's culture believed in segregation. Less than 200 years ago, this country's culture believed in slavery. Times change, and perceptions change. We can judge what they do if we want, but where does that really get us?
I can say that I am one of a few Americans have have eating dog before. Mind you I was a child and my family background is of a culture where eating dog was acceptable. I was young enough that I don't remember the taste or texture, but I can verifiably say I have tried it. Today, I am still a meat eater. But, I am also a dog lover and own a very adorable beagle.
Western culture holds dogs to a very high standard in society. "Man's best friend" is not anything you're readily hear in many Eastern cultures. But in the United States and in other equally modern and "civilized" cultures, dogs are almost humanized. Movies have been made with dogs as the central characters. They wear clothes, sleep next to us in our own homes and beds and even share food at our tables. It's easy to see how morally wrong it is to eat something we hold so dear as our best friends.
However, in keeping away from being the ugly American, what may be morally wrong for us is morally acceptable for them and who are we to judge what other people find as a means to survive? We are lucky to have the food options we do, to the point where we can specialize our diets: carnivores, omnivores, vegetarian, vegan, gluten-free, etc. But if it's either eat the dog or die, I chose to not die.
Mind you, I could never eat dog again as I'm such a dog lover now. I've seen first had how they slaughter dogs and it isn't pretty which is why I chose not to partake, however, I understand why people eat dog and I do not and will not impose my morals on another just because I think it wrong. That's their deal, but thank you very much for the offer.
While we see images of cute and cuddly, they see delicious. It's all about perspective and I for one, don't want to be damned by someone just because I chose to eat beef or chicken or corn because they consider it sacred.
According to the Humane society 4 million dogs and cats are put to death each year in animal shelters in the US alone. In my local animal shelter the euthanized animals are sent to rendering plants where they are converted into fertilizer and pharmaceuticals. Its also estimated that nearly 5 million people die every year due to starvation. These are abysmal numbers but when put side by side its even worse. How many people could be saved if we utilized these unwanted pets as a food source? We will never know.
@Tom – I even hear euthanized pets from animal shelters, dead animals from animal testing facilities are ground up, processed and become pet food. In America. How much truth there is to it, I do not know.
Overfed, underproductive westerners are living a good life by robbing resources and enslaving people of poor nations.
When you are near the death moment because of starvation, you will eate other humans, especially your fat western compatriots, let alone dogs that are just "mild manner" wolves.
Cultural differences are important and I agree that one should respect other cultures. That being said, I am so happy that this festival was protested to the point that it had to be canceled and that globalization has accomplished something that I agree with for once. If I could rescue all of those farmed dogs I would. just my opinion based upon our culture and my notion of morality.
Google, 'eating a pot of dog gumbo' for the pic. -It happened in New Orleans after Katrina. Keep up the gluttonous breeding (That's birthing any more than 2 per couple.) and when the food crisis hits full swing there won't be a dog or cat left in America.
I am repulsed by this article. I thought it was going to be about why humans should not consume canned dog food (given the current economic crisis).
I hope in the future I can stop eating any animal, not because society tells me I shouldn't but because I feel genuibe compassion for the animals themselves. I feel this way about man animals, especially Dogs, cats, horses, cows as...but rabbits, pigs, and chickens are just so fing tasty...f those little fers...fire up that grill!
Of course there isn't necessarily anything wrong with dog meat, but we do have an emotional perception of us not wanting to eat our friends, which I agree with. Essentially, it is the same reason we don't eat other humans. Strictly logical though, there isn't necessarily anything wrong with eating humans either. It is a waste to not eat young, healthy people who die in traffic accidents, or physically healthy suicide victims. Again, it's an emotional preception of not eating our friends – again, to which I agree, of course.
It does provide for an interesting filosophical discussion, however. I mean, really, why shouldn't I be able to write a will that states that my body is to be grilled and feasted on by my surviving friends, say, in the name of the environment since it is free meat anyway, saving some other meat-in-progress from degrading the environment? It is hard to argue that it wouldn't be sensible. What's the morality in that not being legal, assuming it isn't? True moral doesn't always coincide with people's gut perception of what's moral. To not waste meat, when all involved parties agree, that should objectively speaking be moral.
Many animals eat their own from time to time. Wolfs can under some circumstances eat other wolfs, and male lions may kill and probably (?) eat the cubs if they haven't fathered them. Various tribes of humans of the past have been known to routinely have eaten other humans under some circumstances.
Objectively speaking, the morality of eating dogs may be trickier than the morality of eating humans. Dogs cannot write wills. Dogs cannot express an informed opinion about what should happen to them.
Thank you to CNN for having the courage to run this story, so we are all informed regarding this practice.
And yes, please pray for the dogs, and for all other sentient beings. Pray for the people who are so angry in their posts, who attack each other so casually. Pray for those who grieve with heavy hearts when reading of the cruelty that exists so strongly in our world, and whose reasonate with empathy for the suffering of any being. And may we all find the strength to treat each other with dignity.
I for one, love the taste of kegogi (that would be a Korean recipe for cooked dog). I have a dog that I would never eat, but I'll be more than happy to eat one you serve me. Eating dead dog is no different than eating a dead pig (pigs are also quite loyal and caring as domesticated pets), a dead cow, a dead bird, or a dead fish. It's all tasty, to include Bambi.
If you skin & beat a korean or chinese person alive then eat it's meat there is a total VIAGRA effect and your skin will look younger!!!!!
Of coarse its Absolutely Disgusting.
There are other animals they can eat... like pigs, chickens and bulls.
They only eat dogs because they are poor and mostly ignorant.
You don't see dog meat booming in developed countries.
Blast one of those back into the 3rd world and dog eating will make a comeback.
Disgusting that people would raise a DOG to EAT! I want t vomit. We are doomed as a human race-disgusting. I will NEVER go to China! And you can post all the rude comments you want after mine, I don't care, it's disgusting! Dogs are some of the most wonderful creatures on this planet!
cruelty's too big to hide behind culture (or religion, for that matter)
This is a classic case of Westerners attempting to impose their own arbitrary moral values to other countries.
What a tit!
People who complain about not eating dog meat – Well I guess you won't be eating Beef either seeing as the Majority of India don't. The world does not revolve around the US, though I personally do not eat dog meat, I am not going to start enforcing my beliefs on others. Thats what extremists do right?
I have a cat pet and so i dislike the idea of one who thinks cat meat should be enjoyed. I think it all has to do with bonds with these animals and so having to even think of enjoying them as meat like some other animals (pigs, cows, etc) would be a taboo. Dogs are also very interesting animals and good friends to mankind
Most people here b*tch*ing about dog meat eats the cheapest kinda of meat they can find in a supermarket without thinking twice if the animals were treated right or not, so stop with the hypocrisy and do your own homework first. LOL Yes, because treating pigs as sh*t to eat is okay, because we said so. Even if their bodies are way closer to ours than any dog will ever be. Cows? Who cares about cows. Whatever if people in India think it's a sacred animal. We say we can eat them, our truth is the only one truth that matters. Dogs? OMG, no! They are cute! So nobody can eat them because we said so!!!! Whatever, I would eat it. It probably is hard as hell and not really tasty, so I'll keep eating cows, but who cares. If it's meat and the animals aren't tortured, I'll all for it.
I expect no more Beef seeing as India has different beliefs? Hypocrites! the World does no revolve around the US.
It is a meat....it is no different then eating a cow, or a pig, or a turkey..some other countries eat and raise Guinea Pigs as food should we stop that? After living in Korea it is a food no different then other livestock that we eat. I have 2 dogs that I love and I consider them my family but really why should the meat dogs be any different then Wilbur from Charlottes web?
Maya. what makes you think not eating dog is changing for the better -_-
That is under your premise that dog-eating is a bad thing. In YOUR own goddamn ignorant perspective.
"The more money these people make and the more educated these countries become the less likely they will support dog eating in the future. History shows humans usually change for the better so I'm optimistic. " -
People have this misconception that westerners like myself are butting into another Lands culture...The cultural aspect of eating dogs is a myth! Since the dawn of mankind itself, who first domesticated Gray Wolves around 30000 yrs ago, the main difference is that these animals are COMPANION animals...Not cattle...
The other argument states that eating dogs is no worse than eating pig, cow, sheep etc in much of the Western world. Putting aside my own personal belief that ALL life is sentient (therefore I do not eat any meat), dogs ARE companion animals, and the VAST MAJORITY of populations within countries such as Korea, the Philippines, China, Taiwan etc do NOT eat dog meat and want this eradicated themselves...
Eating a pig (taking away my personal beliefs again) IS NOT the same, as a pig is NOT a companion animal which was domesticated since mankind began all those centuries ago. There is also suggestion that the earliest records of domestication actually originated in the Far East itself approx 30000 yrs ago, so they did NOT eat their dogs and cross-bred wolves. They used them as tools for hunting, sledging, and eventually the domestication of these wolves into the more typical dog breeds, resulted in the companionship and pet aspect we see today.
The "poor" aspect is a false ideology too...There are many other cheap forms of food than eating stray dogs and stolen pets. Not to mention the very real threat of contracting the RABIES virus which is still prevalent in these regions, and results in a horrific death with no hope of a cure.
The misguided educational aspects that eating dog meat somehow makes a person more virilent is just another way of showing the sheer ignorance of mankind.
Respecting another Countries culture is NOT the real issue here...Way before dogs were eaten as food, they were companions, and loyal pets. Eating dog meat began around 3000 years ago. Domestication began 30000 years ago. The vast MAJORITY of Filippino people I meet hate this trade as much as we Westerners do. Therefore this is why we fight against this trade, not only to protect the animals, but to also protect the people themselves, as rabies is a horrendous killer disease, and there are other associated risks involved.
Also the factory farmed dogs, which are bred exclusively to be slaughtered are NOT treated humanely, no matter how they would like us to believe. They suffer in terrible conditions and suffer horrific deaths. They often wag their tails even as they are about to be slaughtered, as they still trust humans as they are about to die.
People will say I am just another Western fool for saying these things, but I ate meat for 40 years until I became vegetarian 3 years ago, but the very concept of eating dog meat disgusts me NOT because I am English, but simply because of the fact that dogs ARE companion animals and always will be, to serve mankind, and offer unconditional loyalty, and a dog may be just another animal, but if ever you see with your own eyes the slaughter of a dog, whilst the other caged dogs are made to watch, to terrify them, causing the adrenaline to rush through them (supposedly making the meat taste better), and they are clubbed over the head, having their throats or groins stabbed to be bled out, howling in pain, still their tails wagging, is a haunting site. Humanity is supposed to be the superior species, with the capacity for compassion?? All I can say in summary is these few words....the "Human race?" More like the "Human Disg-Race"
I think you're missing my point. I don't CARE if Fido is cute, cuddly, and loves me. If I'm hungry and he's not my pet, he's lunch.
As for your statement about your "belief" of all life being sentient. You are an idiot. We wouldn't want pesky little things like scientific evidence and vast amounts of research that show non-human animals, with the possible exception of a very small subset of primates, are NOT self-aware, rational, and / or intelligent creatures. Please kill yourself. Just make sure to eat plenty of salt first. That way you'll be extra tasty.
We have had 3 German Shepherds to date and since the most recent whom I would probably give my life for over any human, if I had to. He has strengthened my faith in God as a Christian, because clearly this most loyal, intelligent, noble creature must be the work of something far greater and superior such as God.
He has become my best friend and I can't begin to tell you how fantastic a relationship we have and how much he amazes me in everything he does. He is uncomplicated but deep and seems to know what I am thinking. In short, I could not imagine how terrible it must have been for anyone who was raised without a dog in the family. How damaged their humility must be, not knowing the love of an animal. I have plenty of friends and the most caring and loyal ones are the ones who have or have had a dog or some form of pet in their life at some point.
If you eat any form of domestic animal then you still have circa 2000 years to evolve and catch up with the rest of us. I can confidently say that if you eat domestic animal meat then you will never be welcome in my house and I do have a special place for you in my garage, in the form of a chest freezer. I promise you this is where you will end up if you ever darkened my door. Get with the 21st century and stop re-living the middle-ages when we had the IQ similar to that of most pond life.
So you agree with the woman who grieved when the police took her dog away, after it killed and ate her baby? (this happened where I live) After all, her dog was irreplaceable, but she could have another baby, she said. Get real, these stupid statements some posters make about how they love their dog so much they would gladly murder someone who ate dog in another country, sickens me as much as you could ever feel over the thought of a dog.
By the way, my beloved dog was killed by my friend's "wonderful" German Shepherd, in less than 15 seconds and without provocation or warning. Can't tell you how I feel about your lovable breed. My Cavalier, however, is amazing!
Corky,
And someone like you proves my point that many dog-lovers are sociopathic people with anti-personality disorders. You are one sick person, to value the life of a dog over a human. Very sick.
It makes me laugh when Westerners impose their own moral values. What makes You decide which animal is good or not good enough to eat?
1/ You had no problems lynching black people, treating them like slaves and yet you are outraged by dogs.
You have no problem invading and killing people for oil and yet you are outraged by eating dogs.
2/ British people hunt foxes, Americans hunt deers (for pure pleasure of killing them)
Asians kill dogs for food consumption. Which is worse?
F*#k you. Who the hell do you think you are deciding what is good or not good enough to eat?
In addition, the reason some Koreans are forming groups in opposition to dog meat industry is because of the way they have treated their dogs. This issue has now been addressed (mostly) via new bills and such. They would use bats and blunt weapons to beat a live dog and kill it. Which, despite the fact they are domesticated farm animals (not pets), would still be considered animal cruelty. Therefore, these issues were addressed and now there are barely any qualms between the dog lovers in Korea and the dog meat industry. They are dogs GROWN and BORN to be eaten by humans.
"The irony is that in South Korea, that wasn't really true until more recently. And even now, it's really only true in the city, where they raise "pet dogs," as opposed to "meat dogs."" Have you ever even been to Korea or are you just aping some racist rant made by someone who once read a book about it? There are pet dogs everywhere in Korea; country, city, suburbs, and everywhere in between.
What part of this doesn't get through your thick skulls?
THEY ARE FARM ANIMALS NOT COMPANION ANIMALS
KOREANS HAVE DOGS AS PETS TOO BUT THEY ARE SEPARATE FROM THE FARM DOGS WHICH ARE BRED TO BE EATEN.
It's life, people get to choose what they eat, . I have fish as pets, people eat them all the time. many animals we eat every day are smarter than dogs such as pigs and maybe even some birds. Just dont eat people unless they say you can.
Should you really be dictated on what you can do? how many people do you share opinions with on this board?
Some dogs are bred for hunting, some for companionship, some for retrieving, some for pointing, and yes, some for food. The conquistadors noted at least 2 different breeds of dogs available in the market at Tenochtitlan – both for consumption. Dogs are eaten in Korea and the Philippines and many other places. I have found dog burned dog remains with cut-marks on them in numerous north, central, and south American archaeological sites.
Dogs are companions, hunting tools, alarm systems, bomb detectors, combatants, drug sensors, trash disposals and a source of food. I have eaten dogs and found them to be quite tasty. f course I have eaten many things that judgmental ethnocentric Euro-Americans would consider disgusting but are important parts of diest in many different cultures. I do not advocate inhumane treatment of any animals, but I do eat them – especially if they are grilled and served with a sweet, spicy peanut sauce and a cold beer.
First of all, if you are going to write this article you should educate yourself on how the animals are kept here and how they are butchered. What is wrong with eating any animal?? Well a lot when they are living in filthy abusive conditions, when it is time to die, they are forced out of cage and strung up by the neck and beaten with metal pipes as well as blowtorched and electrocuted..and more. They do this in order to get the adrenaline up which they believe makes the dog meat tender. I live in Korea and have for 8 years. The mentality of dog eating is changing. but the laws are loose and there is constant footage of these brutal killings as well as the deplorable conditions in which the dogs live. If you are going to write such a public article, it would be appreciated to give all the facts. For more on how dogs are killed for meat in Korea, see here.http://animalrightskorea.org/dog-meat-issue/anti-dog-meat.html
http://www.wspa-international.org/wspaswork/dogs/dogmeattrade/default.aspx
Hello All, Rather than attacking each other, here are two websites to look at. They are demonstrate that we have many brothers and sisters in Korea who are working to help end the suffering of sentient beings.

Well, we could ideally be eggetarian as a race and do totally fine. it would erase half the poverty and improve the health of this planet, if instead of animal farms where animals are raised for slaughtering, we grew grain, and food crops.
I disagree with dog slaughter, however, I find it hypocritical that the same people who say NO to dog slaughter are so positive towards cow or pig slaughter. Its crazy. What I am trying to say is – if you want to save animals, follow it in general, for all creatures. Just because you don't typically have a lamb or a bird as a pet, doesn't mean they are meant to be eaten.
– A Vegan.
meats meat and mans gotta eat !
Why eat a dog when you can have a filet mignon? Only reason I would eat a dog is if my family is going to die of hunger.
1. Koreans aren't the only culture that eats dog meat. China and Vietnam eat them regularly as well. Even countries in Europe ate them even in recent years.
2. Koreans are just as intelligent and more cultured than America is and Koreans don't off themselves in record numbers.
3. Americans have a bad habit of judging other cultures as if ours was the standard that the world should live by.
I have dogs back home whom I love, but I have tried dog meat before and it was tasty. to me it's no different than eating cow, pig, chicken, lamb, fish, snake or rabbit which are all creatures that people keep as pets. I always laugh that people get so offended by these stories when, until they read it, they had no idea what happens.
As evidenced by the occasional news story, a dog would not hesitate to eat it's "master" given certain circumstances. An animal is an animal. I wouldn't eat a dog because of having bonds with many over the years, but it's presumptuous to judge others for their cultural heritage.

Horses are human best friends too, and people eat horse meat. I don't eat horses or dogs, but if there is no food, you bet I would eat them to survive. I would never consider pets such as dogs and cats are my best friends. They're not your friends, they are animals. Dogs and cats attack people before too.
Did you know that pigs have a higher intellect than dogs? Did you also know pork is much closer to human flesh than dogs. If you don't, your an ignoramus. Having said this, is it then okay to eat pork and not dog meat? Isn't it a double standard? You say pig is ok and dog no. Come on. This is all cultural. Look at the French. Pigeons are considered a delicay in France. However, in most countries, pigeons are a symbol of peace. They also played a crucial role in world war I as messengers. So how can the French or the rest of the world for that matter, criticize countries that find dog meat a delicacy.
Debates like this are why my boyfriend and myself get incredibly upset at people who make jokes to us about rabbit stew when they know we own pet rabbits, or inform us they tried guinea pig when they were on vacation in Peru and it was delicious. I know that eating rabbit and guinea pig is morally acceptable to many people (especially rabbit in this country), but to me, they are companion animals and I won't even feed rabbit to my cats. We are well aware that others view our pets as food. In fact, one of our two bunnies is a meat rabbit breed, so we have problems keeping her weight down. We don't need to be reminded of that constantly, though.
The point is this: throughout human history, we have eaten pretty much any living thing that wasn't poisonous, including the meat of our fellow man. Every culture has its own definitions of what's acceptable or not. Obviously, South Korea is experiencing a cultural shock thanks to Western influences (not good, not bad – just the way it is) in how they view dogs. Here in the United States, I'd imagine there are a lot more people like myself who would refuse to eat rabbit than there were 50 years ago for the exact same reason those Koreans won't eat dog: we've come to see them as intelligent, caring creatures who we share our homes with, and the thought of using that animal as a food source turns our stomachs.
I think many Hindus would feel much the same way about our consumption of cows, by the way. So for those who feel we Westerners are morally "superior" somehow, keep in mind that it's all a matter of perspective.
Evolutionarily speaking, our culture has grown with dogs, who in turn have evolved to assimilate into our societies. They are almost unique in the animal kingdom. For example, dogs are the among the only known animals with left gaze bias, allowing them to read and respond to human facial emotions. Other animals, even our closest relatives among the primates, can't do that. And we humans are wired to react to dogs in a similar fashion as to children. Eating dogs speaks to a certain lack of ability to empathize with humanity. That's why the reaction against it is so strong.
Not that it really matters, eventually we'll move to a insect and vat grown meat diet, which will be healthier and more efficient than any animal-based food stock. It's pretty inevitable.
Oh! lets save the cows then. Since some cultures consider them sacred. Ill pass I like hamburgers, and if they like grilled dog well it is what it is. Who should impose on them; what makes dog more important than any other animal? Truth is they are all important so i say grace. Guess we could all become Vegans and make it fair. Personally I'll pass on that.
I have no legitimate reason as to why dogs should not be eaten. I understand that "it's immoral" is not a valid argument and is culturally relative and, usually, I support the idea that each of us (should) have the right to act in any way that does not interfere in the well being of others. All that said, can it not be enough, just this once, that I don't want to experience a humanity that slaughters the same animal it trains for human assistance? One that exchanges romantic, childhood ideals for progressive and logical thought process? Can't anything be left untouched by politics, religion, and formalities? For once, can I keep the notion of loyalty and truth in my family "pet", instead of exchanging it for images of pointless excess and greed manifested the slaughter of the same creature? I understand that no one is hurt tremendously by the consumption of dog meat, but no one would be hurt tremendously if dog meat was taken off the menu, either.
What most of you are missing is the fact that in the Korean dog markets the dog are tortured before they are slaughtered (there are plenty of video on the internet and You tube showing this) because they believe a tortured animal will improve sexual performance. There are up to 25 dogs pack into tiny 3' by 2' cages. Cats are boiled alive. Don't believe me – check for yourself!!! YOU call that culture!! That is just sick!
help save the animals from what? being eaten? Do you know why lobsters are boilded alive? IS it because everyone who cooks them want to see them squirm? Did you know that the human body releases chemicals when under duress? Do you know all the facts or is this just something distasteful to your superior morality?
I am superior to you dumb skyjelly-that name suits you well. Jellybrain! Lobsters are disgusting because they eat all kinds of shit from the bottom of the ocean. Shit like you. Don't eat dog, cat, lobster, and all disgusting rotting corpses.
Rot in Hell evil doer skyjelly! Only the sick, cruel, and evil torture for fun before they eat! Anyone who eats dog meat is part of this ugly cycle. Go play with your pet lobster and jump in a pot of boiling water where you belong.
The world now knows what goes on in these horrid dog markets. I'm glad they stopped this evil festival.
The same thing that's wrong with eating human meat.
Or from a different perspective: the same thing that's wrong with eating any commercially produced meat. It's unnecessary, it's cruel, it's unhealthy, it's wasteful, it spreads disease, and the industry is a heavy polluter. In some countries as much as 1/3 of all greenhouse gasses released are as a result of meat animal production. In the US, one of the top users of fresh water is not factories or golf courses – it's livestock production.
Just because we can kill dogs as meat does not mean we should. We have a responsibility to take care of those that can not care for themselves. It is vile and inhumane. Those that feel it is ok are just plain wrong!
Meat is meat.
wow. So cows and pigs and sheep can take care of themselves and dogs cant? btw.. do you know about cats in korea? My guess is you and most of the posters here don't. Most here dont know anything about koreans or any other culture for that matter including their own. If ignorance is bliss... tis folly to be wise!
If it means fewer loud, smelly, annoying dogs, I am all for it.
Human beings are evolving to not eating meat. It's only the un-evolved who think eating dogs or any other animal is okay.
I've eaten puppy in a soup as part of a spiritual ceremony. It was sweet and tasty and greasy. Somewhat reminiscent of duck because of the fat content.
I doubt that I would add it to my regular diet, but meat is meat. If I am willing to eat a pig or a turkey or fish, why is a dog any different?
The whole point of the ceremony in which I ate the soup was to remember the sacrifice of the animals during the hard times when dogs were the only animals that were around TO eat.
People forget that eating is something to be thankful for, something to appreciate.
WHAT'S WRONG WITH leaving dead people on streets and not burying them. People make such a big stink about ti.
What's wrong with purifying your crap and body fluids right in the starbucks store front and making a cuppa from it right before your eyes.
Fido isn't kosher. Emily Lodish is well-aware of this, but an inflammatory article that makes no sense will last longer than a well-reasoned one that does. Okay, Emily Lodish – let's see you eat a plate full of paws, if you are so keen on the idea.
If the economy gets any worse you may change your mind. by the way, dog doesnt taste bad, just very greasy
I love that new Korean cookbook, "101 Ways to Wok Your Dog."
i knew the posts on this would be hilarious...but WOW!!! LMAO!
I lived in S. Korea for 3 years, I ate kegogi a few times with a side of kimchi and a bottle of soju. Good times!
What's wrong with eating humans?,,,, it's stupid and unhealthy to eat meat .... What's wrong with eating dogs? The same thing that is wrong with eating humans.... The world needs to stop mass producing animals for meat all together
DING DING DING! Bring on the racism!
How are you going to say that Koreans are barbaric and disgusting for eating dogs and call Indians crazy for not eating beef?
I'm sorry, I forgot that projecting ones culture onto the rest of the world is the American way.
To those of you citing Scripture and Kashrut law... please remember that South Korea is not a nation founded on Judeo-Christian values.
You hypocrites will make such a big stink over Asians eating dogs and come out of the woodwork acting like you've done years of research on the evolutionary and anthropologic ramifications of eating dogs but have nothing to say about mass rape in Darfur or honor kills in the Middle East.
Wake up people! Human beings are omnivores that means that we as a species will eat almost anything that does not eat us first. In the proper circumstances, no "pet" animal is safe from becoming dinner. In time of war, or other times of deprivation, even the most civilized of people will resort to taking their protein where they can find it. Look into the history of the matter. See what people did to eat in the Franco Prussian war. See what they did in Leningrad during 900 days of siege in WW II.
And "evolution" is NOT a sound argument in favor of Rover. Cows have been evolving alongside humans for centuries too.
People meat? You folks are mentally ill. This is the slippery slope for those with no moral compass. Nothing is sacred. Why not eat your own children then? How about your grandmother? She's old and useless right?
Because it's morally reprehensible.
The headline asks "What's wrong with eating Dog meat?" Well, it makes you crap in the back yard,yell at the neighbors (all night),sniff your wife's dirty undies,jump up on the couch and lick your balls. Oh,yeah, and it pisses off Germans
It's wrong because I deem it so. Nuff said, end of discussion!
Dogs are another source of food. People have pigs as pets.....they have chickens as pets, they have fish as pets, they have turtles as pets, and no one has any problem with eating these animals. Then they go crazy when you talk about eating a dog. I HAVE eaten dog. To be honest the meat isn't very appealing to me, it's like beef except tougher, but other people love it.
I think it's just ignorant to say it's wrong just because it's "against YOUR morals" well it isn't against mine. Most of the comments in this section seem to state "It's wrong because I don't agree with it" Well, I don't agree with you eating pork so anytime I see you eating pork i'm gonna flip out on you.
1, farming animals for meat and profit is morally and ethically wrong. We talk of and freedom so much and yet denies the same rights to free living to animals.
2. Commercial animal farming IS animal ABUSE !
3. We do not have claws on our fingers, or canine teeth, or long jaws, or the speed and strength– essential features of a successful Carnivore.
4. Humans are born vegetarians!
Save the animals, environment and the world- Be vegetarian.
SAY NO TO COMMERCIAL ANIMAL FARMING
I'm in the military and lived in South Korea for 18 months. After meeting some of locals, they took me to dinner one night. It is common practice to eat what you are served in Korea and it is considered impolite to refuse.....you at least have to try it.
On the menu was dog meat stew......and I'm happy to report that it is actually pretty good! Who knew?
So many of us americans feal we have high moral standards, We think everyone in the world should follow our example. We make up almost 5% of the World population. We are Ranked by country 20th (not great) in education, but we think we are 1st. Look, no one wants to kill your dog. No one is trying to force you not to eat beef (which is domesticated btw). Lobsters get boiled alive... should we be more humane and kill them first? lol
How about this... try googling delusions of grandeur: if you run across any big words try dictionary,com
Does a bear worry about the morality of eating a fish? We have the luxury of worrying about the morality of eating the flesh of any creature because we are spoiled by the bounty we possess. There are people on this planet who would sacrifice their life in order to provide sustenance for their child. Go ahead and pass judgment on them for doing whatever it takes to survive. It is easy to be morally superior when you can afford it.
There is a book that tells us what animals we can eat but seeing this crowd seems morally and spiritually ignorant i would hate to waste your sick minds to take time to read it. Does Genesis ring a bell you morons
If you eat meat you would eat any kind of meat it'd taste good to you. And I agree it could be any kind of meat from ligs to crocodile to humans, no difference, someone has been killed/suppressed whatever. The choice is to eat meat or not, we as humans are able to make a choice.if you make the choice of eating meat please dont't be a silly judgemental person.
I am Korean and I have lived in South Korea for my whole life except for a 3 years in America and I have never seen anybody who eats dogs. And even if there were a lot of people, isn't it as bad as eating a cow or a pig? Why is this considered morally wrong? As a dog lover, I would never eat a dog but I don't understand people who have eaten animal meat all their lives and be disgusted at people eating dog meat.
@Minji – I am Korean too and it's worth noting how you and I have different opinion on this matter. I know why you say meat dog is okay because I've had plenty of opportunity to discuss the issue with many Koreans. All of them say ; meat dog is different from a pet dog.
As people have already said hundreds of times ; dogs have been bred to be a companion animal to humans for over 15000 years. It's in their genes, it's their instinct to wanting to become a companion to Man. You can't erase that hardwired fact no matter what some Koreans often fall back on as their mantra – "Meat dog and Pet dogs are different". They're not different, take my word for it when I say a meat dog is no different from a pet dog. I've had opportunity to interact with mixed white Jindo's (which also are used as meat dogs) and they're as playful and have all common pet dog instincts as my Shih Tzu has.
Take a look at this link, "a meat dog's diary". The neurronggi ("shit dog", a.k.a "meat dog") was rescued from Moran Market. It became someone's pet. Would you easily categorize this dog as being different, e.g. a meat dog?
http://blog.naver.com/morphine22/12983704
Take a look at the movie clip showing a typical dog meat farm. All the dogs are at least to say very eager to interact with the camera man, wagging their tails, jumping up and down. Who taught them to behave like pet dogs? The farmer? Or natural instinct?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y6fWqQGOcpA
You can't deny that dogs and humans exist to interact, a give and take relation. If you then take one of the meat dogs out and hang it, bludgeon it to death, it's called betrayal. Simple as that.
http://animalrightskorea.org/yellow-dog-video.html
For all of you who plan to visit Korea and want to try dog meat (out of curiosity, or doesn't want to upset your hosts) just don't do it. Would you eat foie gras, go and see bullfigthing, drink bear bile just because you wouldn't want to offend someone or wanting to live like a local? Don't deceive yourself into believing you're open minded. A small change of attitude matters. Always.
Minji is a liar! I lived in Korea for 3 years and Boshintang restauranst are everywhere! Go to another Takeshima protest and leave the sane people alone.
@Chris – I don't think Minji is lying. I've been to Korea numerous times too and you really have to look for the boshintang houses. Last time I was in Seoul, I saw 1 boshintang house. None in Busan. They're not really easily stumbled upon. You see more McDonalds and Papa John's.
The reason you don't see restaurants in Seoul that serve dog meat is because because SK try to clean up its act for the Olympics. For some reason they thought serving dog would make them look like a savage and backward country. Wonder why. But you can still get it in Seoul. They just don't put it on the menu,
Dear neighbor,
I like grilling dog in a kitsch rub. One neighbor has made a point of writing to a large public audience how disgusted she is with the smell of my grill. This Grillocracy shows just how stuck up people are about what is supposed to smell good. My mom thinks the slow smoked dog is gourmet. The audacity that someone else's taste automatically makes my great grilling smell bad is a direct insult to culinary values. so lady, if you think my grilling stinks, you haven't experienced from my side of the street, where is smells plain and simply putrid.
signed,
keep you stink in you own back yard.
You NEVER eat your friend, human or animal, unless one is literally starving to death(Even then humans must not be killed to be consumed). Dogs meant to be humanity's friends, NOT food.
@ Re: Pray for the Dogs
"Hello All, Rather than attacking each other, here are two websites to look at. They are demonstrate that we have many brothers and sisters in Korea who are working to help end the suffering of sentient beings.
http://www.uniteddogs.com/stopkillingdogs/
http://www.koreananimals.org/index.htm"
True, well said. There are many animal right organisations in Korea, and they're very active. KARA, Care and many others work hard for a change every day, fighting the battle against dog meat traders and ignorant politicians. It's comfy to discuss uncomfortable things on the internet where you don't have to see dogs and other animals being abused 24/7 to make men's bodies cooler and increase their darn stamina, all myths based on blatant lies and misconceptions. Give these people some credit!
By saying dog meat is a part of a culture, we shouldn't raise our voices, dog meat tastes like chicken etc you're just spitting the hard working people in their faces.
Thailand, the land of smiles is also know for eats dog eating ways in the country. They generally let their dogs breed and just live in the cities and round them up when they have too many and are sent to the market to be sold for food.
More movie clips to those who insist "meat dog" is different from "pet dogs".
Look at these meat dogs and ask yourself what makes them different from pet dogs.

You go Maya....I support you 110%. These people on here saying they would eat dog are just horrible. They are one step away from eating their fellow humans. A dog is a companion. Period. They love us, protect us, assist some people with disabilities. They are capable of showing affection and truly have a soul. Obviously a few humans here are lacking a soul and a brain for that matter.
Eating dog is wrong and Korea, China and other countries doing so should all be boycotted.
Dogs have been companions to humans since caveman days. You can see the deep genetic betrayal of this friendship in their eyes when we slaughter them. They trust us, they love us...........and these people slaughter them in front of each other. This is a profound and DEEP BETRAYAL of the protection, companionship and love this species has given us since we lived in caves.
This is wrong on so many levels. Looks at these dogs faces "I loved you for THOUSANDS of years, and even protected your children and you do THIS the me??"
Heartbreating and horrific.
Killing an intelligent creature is murder. Period.
Intelligence is a subjective term and cannot be defined. This is a cultural issue. Strict Hindus do not eat beef as the cow is a protected animal and dairy cows are treated like members of the family because of the milk and ultimately cheese that it provides. There is a strong connection with horsed all around the world but there isnt as much of an argument when it comes to eating horse meat although horses could certainly be considered intelligent creatures. If the culture evolves in Korea to the point where eating dog is taboo, then thats part of evolving culture, not some strict set of more standards that are different the world over. Be more receptive to other peoples ideas but if your morals lead you to want to stop the eating of dog, you have every right to protest, which will in turn, over time, change the culture. But one thing that doesnt change culture, arguing on a silly blog comment. Ron Paul 2012
Hindu's also drink their Urine. There is no credibility there. India is rotting in its own filth.
Obviously this headline was designed to provoke and attract a deluge of feedback, and subsequent backlash, which it succeeded in doing very nicely. In all seriousness, it's clearly a nonsensical question – and I hope the cancelling of the Seoul festival signifies that strength of feeling in numbers does contain sufficient potency to bring about change and reversal. Now we have to look at the far bigger mountain – China – and may this snowball continue to gain momentum.
No, it is NOT ok to eat dogs or any other animal. I hoe they all get rabies(the humans eating dogs that is)and DIE. And ONE of the things that often happens when humans eat dogs is that they do get rabies(amongst other things)and die/karma
Try this:
1lb of fresh dog meat. Heat little olive oil in a wok. Place dog meat in the wok and let is simmer for three minutes. Add half a clove garlic, two teaspoon sugar, some ginger and fresh onion (to taste). Add two tablespoon soy sauce.
Add chilli paste to taste. Serve with rice or noodles. Yum Yum enjoy. White wine please.......
For desert some monkey turd on a stick.
Dog fried rice with turnip greens served piping hot. Side of cat paws and a cold drink.
I hope this comment was sarcastic.
The question is 'what is wrong with eating dogs'...where do I begin? Dogs are COMPANION animals, dogs lead the blind, aid the police, aid soldiers, secure our borders, dogs love us.
Dogs also do not enter into slaughter passively or quietly. They are smart and they feel the despair, the hopelessness, the terror of being with humans who want to do them in, and of course they feel the pain.
Tradition is NEVER an excuse for cruelty to animals.
Would you want to bathe your best friend in BBQ sauce and grill them up? Unthinkable!
I've actually had BBQ dog and it wasn't that bad. Like with any meat it just depends on the chef.
Your argument is silly. No animal passes quietly whenthey're being turned into food, and cows and pigs are much brighter than dogs, yet I still have no repulsion at eating either species. Death isn't pretty, but it's their death that gives us life. They're not companion animals, they're simply another animal we've domesticated to lose its killer instinct. At the end of each day, whether its a toy poodle or a turnip, your extended life will be responsible for another creature's death.
Your view is well thought from the karmic standpoint. All life takes life. But the farther down on the food chain (plants such as beans, greens, nuts), the more effiecient is the supply. A ton of beef will produce a pound of beef in a day, while a ton of bean plants will make a ton of beans in a day. Well grown veggies contian up to 20% protein and other essentials. Indulgence for flavor is just another addiction.
@Max – Koreans aren't starving. They eat dogs because they believe in its mythical properties.
Dogs are carnivores. Only scavengers (hyenas, zorillas (google THAT) eat carnivore carcasses.
A cat will kill a mouse and eat it. A dog will kill a cat, but NEVER eat it. Pretainted meat is even rejected on the feral level. I;ve seen dogs in India eat everything and anything just to survive...but never another dead dog.
The meat we DO eat is putrid enough. Go to meat org (put the period in there). Make your own choice once we're well informed and not just "commercially" conditioned.
how would one reply if India who regards cow/cattle as holy condemns western countries as barbaric for eating beef I wonder?
I think that is general...humans need to be moving AWAY from meat...
Not saying meat should or can be stopped immediatly..
But this..eating great companion animals..
..would be a step backwards on the evolutionary path...
I wouldn't consider eating my best friend.
these people are like freaking primitives
these people are like freaking primitives

What any oxymoron that this article appears under the keywords ASIA and CULTURE when these so-called "customs" are so completely revolting and immoral. What a disgusting, LAZY way to feed such a backwards (yes, obviously backwards), overpopulated part of the world.
The one thing they will notice is when we stop opening our wallets. Don't buy their cars. When you see MADE IN _________ walk away from it. BOYCOTT them. period.
ONE MORE REASON FOR US ALL TO KNOW WHERE THE PRODUCTS WE BUY WERE MADE!!
I completely agree – the only problem is practically everything we touch and use today contains a component or material that has come from China. So it is practically impossible to boycott in real terms – but worth avoiding as many labelled products as possible. Hit their pocket – it's the only thing they'll feel !
I, too, think it's wrong to eat dog. But what makes eating a chicken or a cow or any other animal for that matter better than eating a dog? Nothing. It's how we live in North America. These are many of our morals and not those of any other society or country. To say we are right and everyone else is wrong is just a stupid comment to make.
Before civilization, humans would eat anything they could to survive.
Civilization comes along and humans corral cows, pigs, chickens, sheep, lambs or anything that is docile and has no clue as to humans raising them to kill and eat them.
Excessive population and humans would eat anything to survive; EXAMPLE: ALL countries that are OVER populated, currently eat dogs, bugs and any docile food substance available to survive; it is acceptable to the population of the country.
We as Americans we are being subliminally steered into accepting bugs (and greater bug contaminates in our food supplies), dogs and any docile food supplies available due to World Over Population.
Face it, eatable food will always trump Gold, any time, any where.
i like mexican dog. chi wa wa with taco sauce. very good and make me more like doggy style too
Morally, we say no, it is not right. What if you were starving? Through out history, people have eaten many animals, of all kinds, to survive. I have eaten dog (not to survive) but learned about it after the fact. Cooked properly, it can be quite tasty. When I lived in Central America there were things I ate that you would never find on your mother's Sunday dinner table. And I like it. Put it perspective. Some people eat squid. I have eaten at what I thought were reasonably good restaurants, only to find they were closed down later on because the health dept. caught them serving dog. To each his own.
Truly, eating dog isn't any more intrinsically "wrong" than eating pigs, cows, or poultry. You have to understand that this aversion to eating dog comes from a cultural taboo - just as our aversion to incest, or cannibalism.
Morality is culturally constructed.
Still, I would say that it is a particularly powerful aversion, because of our tendency to empathize with dogs, whereas on the whole we don't tend to empathize with pigs, cows, or poultry.
Personally I strive to empathize with every sentient being, and so I'm a hardcore vegan.
Meat is meat.
Hey, Emily. What's really wrong with cannibalism?
This article fails to mention the intentional cruelty inflicted on the dogs when killing them. I would eat dog meat if it was "harvested" in a way that wasn't brutal. However, Korean dog harvesting requires that the animal be hurt as much as possible while killing it. The "theory" is that adrenalin makes the meat softer and more tasty. I lived in Korea and hated walking past the dog farms when they were "harvesting" the beasts.
Koreans suck
In the immortal words of the movie Motel Hell, "Meat is meat, and a man's gotta eat." That's why I am a vegetarian.
Absolutely Wrong!!!!!!!!! what is wrong with people?!? eating a pet is like saying youd eat a child!! wtf?!!?!?
I'm afraid I can't quite equivicate a pet with one of my kids. I mean, I know I call them little animals sometimes, but I draw the line at putting a leash on 'em and letting them cr a p in my neighbors yard. Eating a pet cannot be compared with eating a child. Pets is pets. Animlas are lower life forms and here for my pleasure, being friends or being food. Spare me all the inevitable "life form" retorts all you intellectual CNN fans. Happy B-Day America!
well, if the North Koreans do it, it's got to be good!
I only eat vegatarians. But if I were starving I would eat a dog. Eating dogs as an aphrodisiac is like eating monkey brains for the same reason; Pretty ignorant actually. However, some folks find a certain pride in their ignorance. So good luck abolishing something folks are prideful about.
"I only eat vegatarians" You mean you eat only humans? You refuse to carnivores? You're not really a cannibal. I hope. Well, this is CNN.
This world has become DISGUSTING place.
All mammals share most of their genetic material with us, and are closely related to us. We should all become more humane and go vegetarian!
I unknowingly ate dogmeat once while in the Phillipines. When I got home the next day, my dog could smell it on me and would have nothing to do with me for a week. Did I like the taste? Not really. Would I eat it again? Only if it meant the difference between survival and death.
All Taboos apart, I think dog is special to us humans. Why special? Because it connects SO WELL with our conscience. Very few animals represent values that civilized humans admire and follow and would want to pass on to generations. Virtues such as friendship, loyalty, communication and protection, caring and emotions – these values are shared and embraced by humans world over – and a dog represents all such virtues. HENCE, it troubles us to kill dogs for food. Not only dog, all those animals (horse is another animal) representing above virtues are dear to our heart and hence taboo as regard to treating them as food. Pig may be lot smarter, but does not share all virtues as dog and horses.
I stand up for animals and care for them as much as I can. But being who I am, I also eat meat. I eat healthy, trusted brands when I eat hamburgers, hotdogs or pepperoni. But one thing I would never eat is dog meat. Dogs and cats seem so connected and close to humans that we share houses and money with them. I think of dogs and cats, ect. to be too much of a companion to think of them as a meal. I hope that someday people won't think of dogs as meals. Until then, I hope that all of these dog farms are sanitary and humane. I pray that these dogs are not tortured or suffering. Don't eat dogs!!!!!!! ITS CRUEL AND RIDICULOUS.
Its sad.
There are so many other animals on Earth that are eaten as a meal because its in our food chain. But DOGS???? That is ridiculous. Dogs are meant to be Man's Best Friend and a loving companion who helps us with our problems and helps us see another side of life. Dogs weren't put on this Earth to be eaten by humans. There are so many other animals that people live off. Like cows, chicken, turkey, pigs.
I hope these dog farms stop. And until then, I hope that they are sanitary and humane. I don't want these dogs to be abused, suffering, tortured or eaten any longer.
We have altered the make up of the dog so much that he can read our body language, follow the direction of finger when we point, and will place himself in the path of danger to protect us. If we can make a dog understand what we want–he will do his best to obey, with no regard for his own safety. This makes them unique among the animals we keep. Cats like us just fine, but are rarely about obeying us unless it pleases them too. And even most horses are not this devoted. There are other food sources–ones that won't care if your house burns down with you in it, whose entire existence does not revolve around pleasing those they trust with their own lives.
And this isn't about lack of food availability. I get that can understand and sympathize with those who must eat what is available to them (even if it's a dog). But there are six hundred farms there raising dogs to eat, so obviously they have the resources to feed them. Why aren't they raising chickens instead? And it is no longer about culture–obviously the majority of the population in Korea no longer views dogs as a source of food. This is about a persistent myth and those who pander to it for the sake of money. It's that simple.
I heard it tastes like chicken. Ummm
To those who argue it's immoral 'cause you can teach a dog tricks... ANYTHING can be taught tricks. Cows can be trained. So can sheep. So can pigs. So trainability means we shouldn't eat it?! We're not talking about eating your beloved pet, the article detailed farms... much like the farms that raise the meat products we enjoy here in the states. Just cause little farmer boy Jimmy loves their cow Betsy doesn't mean Farmer John is in the wrong for slaughtering and eating or selling it.
cease the sufffering of all animals. Being vegetarian is awesome. Thats my two cents worth
This is not about people starving! There is plenty of food in Korea. There a small mental minority of people who eat disease infested dog meat because they believe it will give them sexual stamina. Try Viagra instead!. All Korean women should avoid men who eat dog meat and hopefully this horrid industry will go away.
This article mentions just because they don't eat dog meat in US..., well, guess what! Most countries don't raise or eat dog meat either. India, Middle Eastern Countries, Africa, South America, Russia, Europe.
Dogs are human companions, it is cruel and inhuman to raise and kill (torture) them for food.
Show some compassion and respect for all living creatures and one another and this world will become a better place.
For the Korean people who stood up against this horrid dog festival. Bless you! Continue to educate the young so they don't continue with this practice. Vegetarian is a much healthier and better option for the whole world to follow.
I side for the dogs
I lived in South Korea for a number of years and watched slack-jawed as Korean men spoke of the stamina-enhancing qualities of dog meat. And how does the meat become even MORE stamina-enhancing? By killing the animal when it is frightened, scared, or aggressive. The manner in which these dogs are killed is simply barbaric. Whether burned alive, beaten with sticks, placed in large bags and kicked, these dog meat producers are sub-humans in their treatment of dogs. The pure hypocracy of the South Korean restaurants, to on one hand ban the sale of dog meat, yet on the other hand launch new inspection procedures for boshintang restaurants (because most are poorly maintained) is outright wrong. Korea needs to join the 20th century (yes I know it's the 21st C but they are THAT far behind) and stop this absolute insanity. Oh, and Dokdo isn't Korean, it's Takeshima and it belongs to Japan...
Hey Chris? I don't know what the hell that you are thinking, but it's sure that you are a son of a bitch or an asshole. YOuare a racist and you are stupid. South Korea has millions of proof that Dokdo is ours. By the way, you said Korea is REALLY far apart. WELL, YOUR ARE WRONG. What you use everyday might be Korean. Your phone or laptop could be Samsung or LG. Maybe what you're saying is North Korea but NEVER South Korea. If you are Japenese, I would know for sure that you are just a fucking, damn racist who is selfish and thinks only about himself. Wake up! This is 21st Century! Not 20th Century where stupid Japs ruled Korea. Maybe you are the one who really needs to follow up. I am a Korean girl and your comments were very offensive, as well as very rude and insulting. You racists are to be thrown into hell.
@JL – There's nothing racist about the stuff Chris wrote. It's all true. Many dog meat operators torture the dogs to produce a better quality meat. No water is given to the dogs because the believe it will produce a lower grade meat. I could go on.
And nobody really knows who has the right to claim Dokdo.
I am Korean too by the way before you start accusing me of racism.
@JL – Concerning the Korean government, it's a fact that some of their decisions are backward minded. Think live culling. Don't tell me you think it's what a modern, high-tech and a member of G20 should be doing to their livestock. And the limbo mumbo jumbo laws surrounding the dog meat are just laughable.
I dont get why this is an issue. I have dogs and love them but if I had cows Id love them too. We have farms that raise cows, pigs, chickens...etc and they probably think that we are barbaric. Its culture and everyone has different cultures and thats what makes the world go round.
We should leave them alone and let them eat what theyve been eating for decades and eat what we want. If everyone on earth was the same, wed all be screwed!
Why do we always need people to be just like the US....they need to be just like themselves. TO each their own!
Muslims and Jews don't eat pigs. Hindus don't eat cows. Americans don't eat dogs.
No one should impose their diet culture to anyone else.
I have chickens as pets and eat their eggs, but I also buy chicken at the store and eat it. I wouldn't butcher my own chickens unless I needed to, because we form bonds with our pets (even if they are stupid chickens). But I gotta say, dogs are a lot more "companion like" than chickens. It's simple; If you've ever raised livestock, you'll understand the difference between our pets and the animals we eat.
Ive been in countries and eaten much worse
I'd eat human before I eat Dog.
I'm not going to tell all of you how ridiculous you are for fighting over this since it's a matter of opinion and opinion alone. Most of you have no idea what your talking about anyway. I just want to offer my opinion which is that I am neither for nor against the eating of dogs. It's no different than eating any other kind of meat and when you were raised to believe there's nothing wrong with it (same way Americans are raised to believe it's ok to eat chickens, pigs, and cows) then, in your mind, there will never be anything wrong with it. I own dogs and pigs as pets and I would never eat any of them because I raised them and they are family to me. Ifoffered dog meat and had no prior connection to the dog, I might eat it. I have been to Asia and I do understand their point of view so I will not say it is right or wrong for them to eat dog. It all depends on how you were raised and what you believe. So, please, stop fighting over whether it's wrong or right and whether someone else's opinion is wrong or right because, it's just that, an opinion. And if your going to argue about it make sure you have your facts right first.
And by the way, it has nothing to do with the IQ of the animal. I'm not sure about cows and chickens, but pigs (on average) are just as smart, if not smarter, than dogs.
Each society has to make that decision on its own. But I, for one, would not live in a society that eats dogs if I have the choice. They eat EVERYTHING that moves in China..is that wrong?...Not necessarily....Is it gross?....To me it is!
But as an unapologetic cow/pig/fish/lamb meat-eater, I can't say there's anything "morally" wrong with it....I'm no one to judge. I do not think, however, that the "IQ" of the animal has anything to do with it...We eat what we eat...
What is being overlooked is the fact that the manner with which many of these dogs are butchered, which leads to the idea that they provide 'stamina' for males who eat them is this: dogs are beaten mercilessly prior to slaughter, which raises the amount of adrenaline in their systems, which is term believed to be consumed with the meat.
Dogs are friends who people can trust and reply on most in the most desperate times. They don't argue, they don't piss you off, they don't stab you on the back, they don't teach you and especially they are always good listeners and never betray you but guard and protect you when you are at sleep, listen to you whenever you want. They will be not jealous at you when you become rich, famous or success, but they cheer you up when you meet them. They never cheat you for anything, they never tell your secret when you cheat on your partners, your lover. They never demand you to spend anything on them...If you look for real friends, dogs are ones who you can count on. Dogs posses love for their friends treat you superior to them and never think of selling you off for anything. In-fact dogs have the greatest compassion and tolerance for their friends. They love their friends without conditions. So why should you eat such the best friends? Only those who have eyes but can't see, have ears but can't hear, have hearts but can't feel, have brain but can't think will eat their friends. As they only act in their basic nature, assimilate and fool them to lower kind of the least develop animal which materialize them to subject of greed, unloving animal kinds, survival instinct to satisfy their tongue, stomach.
If you eat dogs, just think if you were thinking of what ingredient and spices you gonna buy to cook your best school friends tonight for your suppers. And be ready for that turn come to you when your friends get hungry.
A rat is a pig is a dog is a boy. All animals have a right to live just as we do. They are all sentient beings, capable of feeling connected to others of their own species and has been proven time and again, others as well. They were not put here to feed our fat butts, no matter how delicious you might think they are. EAT NO MEAT! "The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were no more made for humans than black people were made for white people or women were made for men." – Alice Walker.
Wanna get international support to stop it? Say it is a japanese tradition. Althought that is a lie, soon everyone would join hands and rally against it, even sponsoring a tv show and supporting international piracy (or terrorism) to stop it
Bible say Dog is unclean for human to eat them! Dogs are for friends. Whoever eat the dog meat, they are low education and lack of morals! Not for only Jewish! But for all of us supposed not to eat dog meat period! God is very wise creator! God told us don't eat the unclean meat: dog, snake, shrimp, pig, frog, bear, lobster, eagle, rabbit, rat, cat, alligator, shark, elephane, horse..... ok to eat meat is: deer, turkey, chicken, fishes with scale and gills, cow, bafflo, quil, grasshopper, goat, sheep are clean meat. I can't understand why they look at them as clean or not clean as not aware. I refused to eat dog... this is so yuck! SUCKS....
Americans hands off Asians' menu!
Or how about this: Americans decide WHAT Asians should eat, and Asians decide HOW MUCH Americans should eat. Let's make it fair. If Americans think it's not OK killing for food, how do they think about killing to make themselves fat.
Only the evil, uneducated, and unclean eat dog meat. Eat dog meat and Bad Karma will get you. First by rotting your body through bad digestion, heart trouble, cancer and demenia.
Just a fyi. Dogs in many of these other countries were not bred to be mans best friend and have a very different demeanor. I frequently have pet puppies in the Philippines that want nothing to do with being petted or messed with by a human.
I wish I could save those poor dogs from evil human fangs!
Funny how when we human refer to a total submissive human as "slave", treat it them with little respect and never as a man's best friend while we considered a "total obedient dogs" man's best friend. I do think we need to learn to treat each other before we tell other how unethical to those who eat gods, ooops, dogs, I meant. Tell you what, it's a jungle out there as usual.
Uh, there's a hug difference between "each other" and our canine friends. Dogs are as innocent as human toddlers. "Each other" are corrupt and greedy and opinionated and arrogant and over-consuming and really not likeable.
Might as well eat kids on orphanages, too.
My father has 10 obnoxious dogs that are very vicious. I despise these dogs. I have came to the point to where I NEVER want to see another dog in my life. You cannot walk in our front or back yard without having to dodge the abundant piles of feces. Many are naturally vicious and potentially dangerous and deadly. I can't, for the life of me, understand why anyone would want to associate with these scatological, excrement-feasting creatures. They stink, they slobber and drool disgusting saliva everywhere, licking, they get the wrong message when you pet them and insist upon raping you, your hand or your foot, they are loud and noisy, just disgusting and obnoxious as they can possibly be. I find them much more appropriate cleaned, cooked and served on a silver platter instead of causing trouble in my house or on my property. If anybody is hungry for dog, be my guest, there's 10 mutts here I've been trying to convince my dad to get rid of for 10 years.
@Stephen G – let me see here, your dad has 10 dogs and some of them are aggressive. I understand you have had a bad experience, but your experience alone doesn't contribute to the discussion.
I guess you didn't bother to read the rest where it said "they're more appropriate on a cleaned and cooked" and where I said "anybody hungry for dog, be my guest". SERIOUS inquiries only, quit wasting my time, fool. Looks like YOU ARE THE SPAMMER.
and before you get into a troll's favorite argument of mechanics and semantics, forgive the typo, where "on a" is between 'appropriate' and 'cleaned'. Your idiocy doesn't contribute to this discussion. Point is... a dog is an animal, no better than a pig or a cow. i'd rather eat thoroughly cleaned and cooked dog instead of a cow. Idiot.

i know its a dog eat dog world but how barbaric...DarWinning!
IF you are hungry enough, you will eat whatever it takes to live. We are just fortunate enough to afford the privilege to be picky.
Cultural relativism: Look it up people.
Just because in our culture it is not acceptable it does not make it wrong. Eating dog, scarification, female circumcision, etc.. all controversial but how can we judge when we do not belong to the cultures that practice these things?
To some cultures eating cows is considered disgusting and morally wrong. Everything is relative.
Anthrogirl,
You sound very intelligent. Humanoid have feasted on other humans (particularly infants) in the early ages of man. Some of these Animal lovers should get an education in recent archaeological finds in Great Britain. Indeed, these Animal lovers should just shut-up or take action – a hunger strike. After about 2 weeks, let us see the human compassion then.
Why is the world making fun of Hindu's beliefs of not eating cows ?
We are the only mammal drinking milk from another mammal.
So what is wrong with Hindu's beliefs of not eating cow, as they consider it next to their mom ?
Why is the world makes jokes about that ?
I guess monotheism promotes this ?
First of all, I want to clarify something. Not every Korean eats dog. There are now more arguments surfacing against dog meat in Korea because dogs are now seen more as pets and very many Koreans have dogs as pets.
Second, for those who commented that it was sick, wrong, disgusting, cruel, inhumane, and more I hope you guys are all vegetarians. If someone who is a vegetarian says eating ALL meat in general is cruel, then I can totally understand. For those of you who eat beef, pork, chicken, I don't think you have a right to say eating one form of meat is "wrong." Do you think cows and pigs are peacefully put to sleep and then killed? They are slaughtered alive, live very sad lives, and they know when they are being taken to be slaughtered because you can see the fear in their eyes. So unless you are a vegetarian, no one has a right to say you can eat one form of meat but not the other. And for those of you who are vegetarians, I really respect you because I have been trying but it is just so hard because I am so used to my lifestyle.
Although it is true that people, Americans in particular, are very sensitive to this issue because in the USA, dogs have the image of a man's best friend. However, this is not true in other parts of the world. Just 50-60 years ago, many parts of Asia did not have enough food. Many went hungry, and a lot of different animals were eaten. This eating custom can't change overnight. But with all the recent debates that this dog meat festival caused in Korea, I believe Korea is moving towards not eating dog meat. And more and more people have dogs as pets so I believe it is going somewhere.
@Jin – It's true that cattle, chicken etc suffer extremely much too. Meat should be avoided as much as possible. However, this discussion is about dog meat. The argument that "since you eat beef, pork and chicken you can also eat dog meat." doesn't really hold up well. Numerous arguments
against dog meat have already been repeated hundreds of times in this thread. Many countries where dog meat was part of their cuisine, now have banned the consumption.
It is true that dog meat sales are declining in Korea, that's why the Korean dog meat association wanted to have the dog meat festival in the first place. However, you should know that many dog(pet) owners seem to believe pet dogs and meat dogs should be distinguished. I hear even some pet owners eat dog meat, which is truly sick.
Ah shut up with your P.C. parroting. OH.... I'm KOREAN TOO, BTW.
Yes I understand this discussion is about dog meat. Fine. If we are specifically talking about dog meat, I don't even see why this discussion needs to be on this CNN website in English. Why the heck should Americans care about what some Koreans choose to eat? There is enough discussion about dog meat that is going on in Korea these days so why does any other country feel the necessity to troll on other countries' eating habits? Why is it that dog meat stirs up this great discussion yet, July 4th, practically all my neighbors are out having the biggest barbeque of the year? I just don't see how those who eat other forms of meat has any right to troll here about how wrong it is to eat meat and how dogs are raised in these horrible conditions. Apparently, people must believe that cows and pigs are raised in five star hotels.
I once did eat a dog during my trip in visiting my family in Vietnam. For those who say eating dog meat is wrong-–grow up. It's part of Asian culture, not Western culture.
@Tony – do you agree that culture isn't static? Besides, your culture argument isn't really valid. Slavery, polygamy, children workers etc are really things that we all can live without.
However, if I were to have a dog, I will never eat him.
These dogs that are bred for meat are not your average beagle. They are big, mean brutes. They might be a guard dog in another society, here in Korea they are meat animals. My father-in-law raises cattle, pigs, sheep, rabbits, and dogs - all for food. He also keeps dogs as pets, but they might as well be a seperate species instead of just a different breed. The soup is ok – but I prefer the meat roasted over hot coals. If you are opposed to eating meat entirely, I can respect , though not understand, your disdain for the practice. If you are OK with eating beef, pork, chicken or snake, well, dog is just one more tasty option.
@Joe – I'm curious to know if the meat dogs your dad raise ;
1. Do some show signs of agressions? If so, why might that be?
All Korean meat dog farm video clips I've seen, I'd say 99% of the dogs show no signs of aggressions whatsoever.
2. Are they being handled in a rough way? When they're ready for butchering, how are they forced out from their cages? If they try to bite, is it possible that the way they're being forced out is a way for them to defend themselves? Have you thought of that?
3. Your dad gives them food suitable (not darn fermented kimchi) for dogs?
4. Do they have access to clean water? Every day?
5. Are the dogs forced to see when their fellow companions are being violently forced out from their cages to be handed over to the dog trader?
6. Does your dad kill the dogs in front of the other dogs? If not, are they able to hear the to-be-killed dog screaming for help when they're dragged off to the slaughering area?
7. How are the dogs slaughtered? Beaten to death? Electrocution? Bludgeon them to death? A combination?
8. Does your dad take care of the piled up poo under the lifted wired cages everyday?
9. Why does your father encourage illegal activities? You know that boshintang restaurants are illegal don't you?
10. Who brainwashed you into believing pet dogs and meat dogs are different? How are the meat dogs different? They do not have the ability to feel, think and become a companion to Man? If you believe so, where is the evidence?
11. When you discover a sick dog, does your father provide them with medical care/attention?
12. Do you realize that not only "meat dogs" are being used in the dog meat industry? That stolen pets (I've heard firsthand accounts where pet dogs were lured into a truck by a dog trader who used bait) are frequently used, various breeds, big and small are used to produce either dog meat or dog-tonic?
13. Are you aware of there are dogs saving their masters' lives, detecting cancer, detecting drugs /contraband, helps sick people to recover, searches for catastrophe victims and so on? Is this our way to repay them by stuffing into wire cages and beat them/hang them to death in order for a select few Koreans to get a stiffier boner?
/an angry Korean
Father in law, not father.
@ Joe – you say the meat dogs are mean brutes. Where did you get that idea? I say size doesn't matter. Small dogs can be aggressive too but it all boils down to how you raise it. If you mistreat your dog, teach it to be aggressive you end up with a problematic dog. Same goes with our children.
The big yellow dog is a typical meat dog in Korea; it behaves like a typical pet dog to me :
http://animalrightskorea.org/shelter-volunteering/taebaeg-arumdong-shelter-work-08-12-07.html
@spammerstakeahike I say that because I have two kids who love dogs and there is no way I am letting them near the dogs being raised for meat. You can argue that these dogs understand their fate and that is why they growl and snap at anything that approaches within 25 feet of them. My personal opinion is that it is their nature. Either way, my point is that these are not pets. Growing up around farm animals there were always those that had names and those that were destined for somebody's dinner table. I don't see any difference here.
@Joe –
Why the heck do you think your meat dogs growl? Dogs aren't stupid you know. Meat dogs know whom to trust. Obviously they don't trust your father (or you). Look at below video clip showing a typical dog farm in Korea. Observe how all dogs are friendly.
https://www.youtube.com/user/AnimalRightsKorea#p/search/2/e5cHJb0YQIc
Try an experiment. Bring out a meat dog, treat it well and you'd do with your pet dogs. Put your pet dogs into the wired cages and abuse them as you'd do with the meat dog. Wait couple of weeks and tell me the results.
@Joe – As a Korean I can't believe how some, otherwise reasonable people, in Korea belive in the stuff people with an agenda will tell you!
Why are you so darn gullible?
If some crazy professor says dog meat is good for depression, dog kidneys are good for your kidneys, dog bones will make you white hair turn black, dog meat protects women's private parts and other utterly weird and unscientific crap – why don't you even question the idiocy?
Have you ever honestly questioned the claim that meat dogs are different from pet dogs? Or is it more comfortable not to think?
Pigs are generally more intelligent than dogs and can connect quite closely with a human.
It's cultural, that's all.
@spammertakeahike I don't put much (any) credit into the health claims that are associated with dog meat or any other product (eel, organ meats, etc.) It doesn't change my opinion that meat is meat. I don't condone canibalism, but other than that I am willing to try most food. I have always tried what was offered (with one exception – I couildn't bring myself to eat the boiled silk-worm larva) and have enjoyed much of it. Bunny rabbits are cute and adorable – they are alos tasty. Rattle snakes are not at all adorable to me, but they taste good too. Take the emotion out of the equation and meat is meat. I am also guilty of the emotional argument, after all, how else can I explain my aversion to canibalism?
@Joe – For you meat is meat no matter its origin (except humans). Fine, it's nothing I can do to convince you to change your mind.
However, one cannot discuss dog meat without discussing the cruelty involved in the dog industry, from dog farms to transport to slaughering.
Cruelty that isn't without a purpose. Cruelty that is deliberate.
Would you agree that this cruelty has to stop?
If you don't there's nothing else I can add to the discussion and I thank you for joining in.
If you agree that cruelty must go away – well, here's the truth; dogs cannot be raised in a humane way. They're pack animals. They need space. They instinctively put their trust to humans. All combined it means dogs aren't meant to be raised in farms well, unless you genetically alter the dog. Taiwan concluded that raising meat dogs in a humane way isn't possible so they banned the practice.
Is it worth eating a good dog steak even knowing that the dog has suffered? We're not talking about a swift death. More often than not, meat dogs in the rural areas in Korea are hung, bludgeoned to death. This meat tendering session could take 1-2 hours. Knowing this, and still insisting that dog meat is here to stay is nothing but ignorance and evil.
Example of cruelty involved in the "meat quality enhancing" practice. The "meat dog" is hung by its neck and suffers for minutes before taken away for what looks like the final slaugther. The dogs adrenaline is supposed to enhance the meat quality.

Dogs don't have the ability to get rid of excess heat.
They do it by panting which is not really effective. Read it up.
Cold water helps a lot but at dog farms in Korea, no water is given to them because they believe water will decrease the meat quality. They believe the food waste boiled in water is sufficient for them.
That alone is a long and cruel torture.
Ask your father-in-law, Joe, if you dare, how HE would feel being trapped inside an iron cage 24/7, no protection from the elements with NO access to water even during the hotter months of the year? And ask him if he thinks dogs don't feel thirst.
And you should note that your father-in-law is better equipped than dogs to manage the excess heat by sweating it out.
Any meat dog farmer not even providing the essential needs for his animals are nothing but animal abusers.
All of this is totally true, but still. The statement stands.
I'll take pigs as an example. Do you think pigs living in a cage, without any space to even turn around, enjoy themselves?
They too are tortured. Being castrated without sedatives. Throats slit. Boiled while still conscious.

All I'm trying to say is that meat is indeed meat. Every animal "produced" for the meat industry suffers.
OF COURSE it is ethically wrong to eat meat. Unless you're vegetarian you simply have no say in these matters.
There's nothing for a real Dog to hunt there anyway. !!! "Chow" down ???
One man's food is another man's poison, so the saying goes, its 50-50, those who eats dog meat and those who does not.
What's wrong with eating dog?
Well how about, for starters, the fact that human beings essentially created dogs, breeding them into existence. As a species, homo sapiens would not likely have survived without their canine hunting companions. Not just in SOME parts of the world, but EVERYWHERE – including China and Korea.
This isn't about cultural sensitivity or whether or not Korean people keep them as pets. This is about HONOR. Your ancestors created them. They hunted with your ancestors, went to war with your ancestors, bled and died with your ancestors. You're alive today because of them.
That, to me, earns them permanent immunity for the dinner table. Anything less is immoral – and making them suffer as they die for the quality of their meat is egregious.
@Alex Argerich – very well said.
We also essentially "created" the modern day cow, pig, goat, and horse – to name a few species. And yet...we still eat them happily. Funny how that logic works, isn't it?
Yes Jack – funny how that works, especially given those useful bovine hunting skills during the homonid period when the human population was down to about 10K worldwide. I mean....a dog helping you hunt is one thing....but a cow or a pig helping you hunt....might as well just sit back and enjoy, right??
You guys haven't tasted anything until you've tried Doldogsea. It's a filleted baby seal stuffed inside a filleted dog, stuffed inside a dolphin. You should try it instead of a Turduken for your next Thanksgiving. Your guests will be talking about it for years. Scrumptious!!!!!!!
Tastes like chicken

Where I live, if you short leash your dog outside for more than 4 hours, that's animal cruelty. If you don't them give water, food to them that's animal cruelty.
really? so once you read one article, you get alll holy? take a look at dog mills here, instead of being eaten, their either cross bred with their birth parents or litter mates, or they die from starvation.
@not you –
Please. I am fully aware about the evil puppy mill industry (both in the US and Asia) but that has nothing, I repeat nothing to do with current discussion. Or do you expect me to start the discussion by first mentioning puppy mills, cattle industry, killing of male chicks, veal, whale hunting etc and only after that start discussing meat dog? Get serious.
FYI, I have read more than one article on the dog meat issue. Trust me.
Seriously? Someone seriously has to ask this question in this day and age? Abusing anything is morally wrong, I don't care if it's an animal or a human being. The amount of abuse in that industry alone is deplorable.
No matter what, I will never eat a dog...My God, dogs will never hurt you or betraye you...When they are your friend they are really your friend, not like humans...I rather starve to death...
peta's are evil and must be stopped.
@robert g – pets or peta? Neither is evil.
people ate dogs because they didnt have the resources and food supply like they have now. and now they still use this kind of meat because in a way, its part of their culture. but not EVERYONE eats it there, I REPEAT, not everyone eats it there, some dont condone it there, because they love dogs like companions. don't assume anything until you read into something. compare the us' food supply to korea, and then complain about it. i wouldnt eat dog because it would be weird, just like i wouldnt eat horse because i own both, same with cats. there are still people eating horse in this country, take a look at that. ive seen how they slaughter those horses, and i have to say its ten times worse on how they treat them. just my opinion.
@not you – people, a considerable mass, still enjoy eating dog meat. There's no famine in S. Korea but they still eat dog thinking it will help to reduce heat during summer or worse, believing dog meat will help with the male virility problem (that so many Asian men suffers from, obviously).
Still, you have 1-2 million dogs /year raised in terrible conditions at farms across the country, where they're fed with food waste (read : kimchi, salty food, rice) that has been boiled to halt the bacteria growth. No water is given the poor dogs, because these dog farmers believe water will decrease the meat quality. They're raised inside wired cages with no substantial floor. They have to balance in order to be able to take the few steps the tiny area allows. Then their sensitive nose must live with the poo smell that piles up underneath the cages.
Then we have the transport part where dozens of dogs are thrown and forced inside wired cages, not enough room for them to move their paws.
Transport from the rural areas to the meat markets in e.g. Seoul, that could take hours under the scorching sun.
Then you have the slaughering process : they're forced out one by one, hung, or electrocuted or simply beaten to death. Their fur is removed by using an blow torch. Sometimes dogs are still alive.
The cruel industry has to stop. And whenever criticism is heard from West, some (I am a Korean so don't give me that "Westerners forcing their imperialism upon us" crap) actually would go out with friends and eat dog meat just to demonstrate that they can. Truly pathetic.
Why not take a step back trying to understand why people are upset about eating dogs.
AH, shut-up with your long-winded, boring ranting, troll. Stupidity does not make an argument as you have illustrated. Take a hike – ~ a hungry North Korean
@Stephen G – If you don't have any arguments left or feel that they're too brittle, it's better to be quiet than indulging in ad hominem attacks.
What's wrong with eating human meat?
Many humans are sub-humans anyway so it should be okay.
See Soylent Green the movie!
Jim, I'm sure you could go down to your local shelter and pick up a couple of nice fat dogs if you really wanted to. Make um into Hamburger, who would know? I hear it's like eating opossum, a little greasy. I can just see your face when you go out on July 4th and your neighbor is grilling you dog. A little barbecue sauce please.
So there is cultural stigma with eating dogs in the West. Who are we to judge? There's cultural stigma with eating cows in India. Would we suddenly drop our knives and forks when they attack us for eating cows in a "barbaric manner?" No. From what I've seen (though this is no definitive fact, of course), most of the attacks against dog consumption come from left-leaning individuals. What happened to cultural tolerance? Some items of food are preferred by some societies, some aren't.
@Jack wrote – "From what I've seen (though this is no definitive fact, of course), most of the attacks against dog consumption come from left-leaning individuals."
You'd be surprised how many pro-dog meat folks are leftists. I've had numerous opportunities to speak with some Koreans that harbor anti-Western sentiments and all of them do not vent any criticism about Kim Jong-Il, the man that starves and does evil things towards his own people. Those same individuals are all vehemently pro-dog meat.
Just my observations.
This has NOTHING to do with cultural tolerance. It has EVERYTHING to do with consuming a species that 1. humans bred into existence and, more importantly, 2. are DIRECTLY responsible for the survival of homo sapiens over the eons – specifically because of the characteristics we've bred into them: mutual communication skills, obedience, bravery, and unwaivering loyalty even in the face of death. A cow never helped anyone survive by virtue of its actions or interactions with humans. Same goes for a pig, a chicken, etc.
Dogs are 100% unique in the animal world in their relationship with humans. Consuming dogs for meat is universally immoral, egregious and dishonorable under ANY circumstance, as is consumption of other human beings. Interestingly enough, this whole argument is closely related to the issue of what constitutes morality in a dire survival setting. The question of whether dogs should be killed and eaten is the same as the question of whether human beings should be killed and eaten. If one has morality, there are certain lines of behavior that are simply not crossed.
As for the liberals vs conservatives argument, I don't know if you've seen that movie "The Road" – but I get the distinct feeling that, in the movie, those folks who survive by violating the two basic tenets of ethical survival I've listed above were probably conservatives prior to the mysterious cataclysmic event the film was based on. Somehow it seems to ring true that the "God, Guns & Guts" types would be the first to devlove out of civilized behavior in the post-apocalyptic world. No matter if they come across a stray dog or a stray child..."praise the Lord & pass the ammunition". If the bombs ever do fall, those will be the people I'll be having to watch out for – the gun nuts and the God crazies, not the lame spineless liberals who'll probably be slaughtered and consumed wholesale by the "God-fearing" mobs in search of sustenance.
Based on your unwavering defense of this aberrant and immoral practice of killing dogs for food, I have a hunch you'd identify with the former and not the latter – and proudly.
I am a strong liberal. I volunteered heavily with Jerry Brown's, Barbara Boxer's, and Beth Krom's campaigns. There are many other species we have bred into existence – many other species that have been far more critical in human development throughout the millennia than dogs (i.e. cows, pigs, horses). Does that mean we still stop eating them? Not at all. Human domestication of the horse has been far more pivotal in our historical development than any dogs have – and yet we still consume them. Where is the outrage? Where is the cultural stigmatization? What about cows? Where would the human race be had we not domesticated these creatures? Sure we've used dogs to hunt before – but cows literally provided a lifestyle for generations of humans before us. An entire family could rely on a cow not only for nourishment but for fertilization and such. The argument that breeding a species into existence is automatically a qualifying trait to avoid human consumption is moot. We have created many modern day species. This is not about who created what. Your outrage comes from a lack of cultural tolerance and an inflated sense of self worth. "Oh look at these barbaric Easterners, eating dos. We in the West are far too civilized for such a barbaric custom, of course." Your disgusting rationalization for what basically amounts to a cultural superiority complex is shallow and obvious.
Cultural differences translate into different tastes which are often a product of what's available and what's affordable. Many countires don't have the sea to shining sea space for crops and grazing that we enjoy in the US. So, horses, dogs, insects and birds become parts of local menus. Regarding those who fight so hard to take dogs off the table I don't see the same kind of ferver to save baby lambs which are just as loveable. I also wonder about the priorities of those who spend so much time and money to product dogs of the world while over a million homeless kids try to survive on the streets of America.
@PaddyReagan – "I also wonder about the priorities of those who spend so much time and money to product dogs of the world while over a million homeless kids try to survive on the streets of America."
Are you implying we shouldn't care about animal welfare since there are also people needing our help? What an argument.
Why even bother to work for a decrease in co2 emission when people starve?
Over 10,000 years of dogs and humans helping each other survive, evolving together, developing a social bond. That is what makes eating dog meat wrong.
No other animal has such a long history of alerting us to danger, providing comfort in times of crisis, or freely giving their lives to protect us from harm.
Bonding with animals does not impose a restriction to using the animal for food. Pigs would make a better selection for mutual benefit than a dog but a pig is not as easy to look at as a dog. Dogs can be food as any animal.
Let us not forget a pack of wild dogs will eat our flesh in a heart beat; this can be seen in many war torn countries. They shoot dogs once they have tasted human blood, for fear they may crave it( pit bulls). So it can be mans best friend, mans worst enemy or man dinner all is fair.
@Varex – is that supposed to be an argument? Let's not forget people, if forced to it, will eat human flesh. Google cannibalism up.
The biggest difference between dogs and other animals is that we've domesticated them. We as humans bred dogs to become our companiions, our pets, and our friends. To "farm" them is a betrayal of that and inhumaine.
Eating most animals is ok... even dog if it's to stop hunger. The problem is the Chinese/Asian cultures, where they associate magic with consuming different meats and medicine. which is complete bullshit. They have no basis for their beliefs and their practices are similar to the pagans who worshipped posts. They need to take the fiction out of their culture and man up in life and stop relying on consuming different things to enhance their performance.

Here is a culture grenade. Why do thousands of Americans kill their baby fetus after it has had time to grow for a few months? Stop attacking people who eat dogs. You have the pathetic mentality of a child.
Americans ate dogs and all sorts of unsavory things too when there was no food around, if people still do it today, then stop aborting your babies first and then start judging people just trying to eat. Eating cows, pigs, deer, lamb is absolutely no different.
@ Stupid People Nation –
Here's another cultural grenade : Like abortions don't exist in Korea? From what I've learned abortion rates per capita in Korea ranks pretty high in the world, exceeding the US.
And S.Korea, having all financial capacity you could ask for, is still sending off many unwanted babies for international adoption every year. Why is that.
Seems to me lot of gutless people in Korea is good at talking, they talk about culture, family blood, family bondings yadda yadda but they're just empty words to me. I have encountered many many adopted Koreans, practically all of them suffer from emotional and mental distress. If you want to discuss dogs fine by me. If you want to bring in irrelevant issues such as abortion and adoption – I'm also fine by it as long as you don't try to use it as an argument for dog eating.
It is a completely relevant for a person who is pimping his moral superiority in a nation whose arrogance belies a whole litany of things far worse than eating dog soup. This article is just as relevant as the meat farms in the USA if you only look would find the conditions inhumane, but in order to hide the disgusting beef, pork, chicken farming techniques you have to point your finger at dog soup. Check out a slaughterhouse video too. Even the best ones are vile and disgusting. This global hypocritical arrogance is what has downgraded America's perception across the world among other things. Spam – an American creation. Computer spam – An American creation. Did Americans eat dogs? Sure they did. Today they still eat pigs, deer, sheep, cows as if they are not living breathing, suffering animals with personalities.
@SPN – I know there are terrible meat farms across America but where do you think all the undercover videos come from? That's right, America. Many Americans are becoming aware of the factory farming which has been hidden from view for so many years. I didn't know it was so terrible either until very recently. You cannot blame the average American for being ignorant of issues they do not know about can you.
Let's talk about the evil factory farming in Korea too if you wanna?
Please stay on topic. No political anti-american rants please.
Q: Do Americans gas and otherwise kill hundreds of thousands of abandoned and unwanted dogs every day?
A: Yes. Not to mention pet cats.
We are superior Americans alright.
@SPN – are you willing to withdraw your abortion argument? And factory farming argument as well? Because those two things happen both in the US and S. Korea. What about mass culling of animals, millons of pigs buried alive? Only in Korea. Let's discuss that if you want too.
Or do you prefer staying on topic – discussing dog meat only? It's up to you.
LOL. "Only in Korea."
Gassing abandoned pet dogs, wrapping cats in duct tape, abusing pet dogs, a disgruntled construction worker killing his ex-boss's daughters rabbits, culling pigs, culling cattle, livestock abuse, crowded chicken farms where they never move, puppy mills, gassing abandoned pet cats, eating sheep, deer, creators of spam of every sort: That is culturally superior America. They didn't eat dog meat?!? Yes they did. You are silly.
@SNP – I don't believe you read my post. Read carefully again.
I stated both S.Korea and USA have their problems with kill shelters, pet abandonment etc. And what was your reply?
Dogs gladly eat human meat before it's even cooked, because they are so morally superior to all other animals and somehow more special. When there is a dog maiming of a child, Americans kill the dog. Some people eat them. Huge huge morally superior difference. how stupid...
@ SPN – I don't know if I should laugh or cry ; you're suggesting that all the "meat dogs" have bitten humans, therefore should be eaten?
Come on.
Because it's sick and disgusting and people who eat dogs should be shot.
Well, that would be pretty much all of you. In your lineage not so far away, someone ate a dog.
@SPN – historically, there have been incidents where people would eat their dogs, often during famine. But culture evolves. S.Korea is a rich country. There's absolutely no reason, medical or cultural whatsoever, to continue to eat dog meat.
Being stubborn can be a good thing but insisting on eating tortured dogs because it once was part of your habit or culture is simply not very modern and forward thinking. Believe me, nobody will think Koreans are less Koreans because they gave up the dog eating part.
Nobody thinks Catalonia in Spain being less Spanish because they banned bullfighting.
Those overcrowded American puppy kennels and gassing the abandoned dogs in the USA is so much culturally superioe spammerstakeahike. If you really insist on a jingoist holier than thou attitude here are a few things you can do rather than be an online arm chair bully of unfortunate nations who were made rich by the USA after decades of pillage by Nazis and Communists only recently: Go fight puppy and cat mill abuse. Adopt one or another one. Go sue the American creators of spam.
@ SPN – I'm beginning to suspect that you love to sidetrack any topic.
Puppy mills, kill shelters, abandoned pets – all happen on a massive scale in Korea too. Please check the numbers and facts before posting.
We can discuss all other topics if you want to, but are you willing to discuss one topic at a time? I don't believe you have contributed much to the dog meat discussion other than bringing in other topics.
soylent green anyone LOL
As someone who is happy to be on top of the food chain i say.....Fry'em, BBQ'em, Bake'em, Boil'em and my reason why is.....if you were trapped on the African Plains or the wilderness and the Dogs big brothers The Jackal or The Wolf saw you they would surely EAT YOU! I myself would not eat Dog then again I don't eat Pork either. If your hungry then go eat.
This has NOTHING to do with cultural tolerance. It has EVERYTHING to do with consuming a species that 1. humans bred into existence and, more importantly, 2. are DIRECTLY responsible for the survival of homo sapiens over the eons – specifically because of the characteristics we've bred into them: mutual communication skills, obedience, bravery, and unwaivering loyalty even in the face of death.

ARROGANCE AND MORAL SUPERIORITY ARE IRRELEVANT HERE. No ONE nation domesticated dogs. No ONE nation has benefited from their assistance. No ONE nation
can atribute their survival to dogs – but EVERY SINGLE HUMAN BEING ALIVE. Criticism
of dog farming in Asia doesn't invalidate any arguments against western puppy mills or
industrialized farming, all those arguments have valid but SEPARATE points.
NO OTHER SPECIES has been instrumental in helping humans survive. NO OTHER SPECIES has evolved with human beings. NO OTHER SPECIES has developed advanced communication skills and social bonds with human beings.
Except domestic canines. To kill a dog for food is to BETRAY everything that species has
done for ours, to betray OUR VERY EXISTENCE. It is an abhorrent, immoral, dishonorable,
and absolutely unconscionable act – a crime against nature and perhaps even a crime against
humanity itself.
Dogs evolved with the human species?!? If you never ate meat and then you can make your pompous statements. I treat people better than dogs, and I don't eat dog or have any. Others treat people worse than dogs, and their dogs better than people. You are not better than anyone else, dogs are not some special human caretaker sent from God or something.
@Alex – well written.
Certainly dogs sometimes eat human children, adults, and elders. I guess it is just revenge.
SPN – Hm.. what is your point really? Dogs that bite people should be taken care of yes, but really, I don't see your argument here.
Dogs eat people. We do not eat them, so that makes us better animals at least in White America, except for white Lewis and Clark who tried to sell their delicious doggy meats to Native Americans who thought that white people were barbaric for eating dog.
@SPN – I wonder why you cannot take any criticism. I suspect you're Korean? If a perfect country with perfect people would criticize Korea's dog eating culture, you'd accuse them for being superior wisea**es. Damn if they do, damn if they don't. Be a man and take criticism when its called for.
I suppose you are here to criticize and argue your vain and pitiful animosity against the evil South Koreans who are great allies and friends of the US. When a dog eats a person, and they will gladly eat you, America kills it. Others eat them.
@SNP – I don't have a political agenda behind my posts unlike you have.
I'm neutral. I don't bash Koreans either. But since you started to talk about how bad USA was, their abortions, puppy mills and factory farming, I cannot but help trying to balance the discussion by discussing other aspects of Korea as well.
75 years ago, I had a pet rooster. One evening, I couldn't find him and I was told that he was dinner. From that day on, I never ate chicken. We, who consider dogs as pets, have this same mentality.
I have hundreds of pet chicken. Some considered closed friends some not. But once in a while, I ate my friends because of this slow economy. One lesson for me to learn, be careful when someone call you "friend" because the next thing you know... you eat her or she eats you. Nature sometimes takes its toll on all of us human.
THIS ARTICLE IS OFFENSIVE AND SERVES NO CONSTRUCTIVE PURPOSE OTHER THAN TO STIR EMOTION ANG COLLECT EYEBALLS FOR THE ADVERTISERS. THIS SET OF EYEBALLS WILL HEREBY BOYCOTT YOUR ADVERTISERS. I HOPE THE AUTHOR AND THE EDITOR WHO CHOSE TO PRINT THIS GARBAGE DIE A PAINFUL DEATH.
SO FULL OF HATE AND RAGE! YOUR CONSCIOUS IS AWAKENING WITHIN YOU. THAT IS WHY YOU ARE SO FULL OF HATE. YOU KNOW ANIMAL ABUSE IS WRONG! ALL THOSE WHO EAT DOG MEAT WILL FROM THIS POINT ON WILL BE SICK BECAUSE THEIR CONSCIOUS WELL BOTHER THEM.
DO YOU SEE HOW YOU WENT FROM DOG EATING TO ATTACKING HUMANS.
ALL SERIAL KILLERS HAVE A PAST OF ANIMAL ABUSE. THAT IS THE FIRST STEP!
Setting aside the merits of eating dog meat or eschewing it, this article is quite a geographically muddled presentation of this highly contentious issue.
It's purportedly about South Korea, but the picture of the abused (and finally rescued) dog at the top of the page is in China. Naturally, some casual readers will conflate the dog meat industry in South Korea with the abuse in China depicted in the photograph (I dare say some readers might actually think Korea is a part of China or closely tied with it).
And then at the end of the article we are told we can read more on this issue at GlobalPost's Dog Meat Mafia series, which "delves into the seedy world of the booming dog meat industry in Southeast Asia." Again, it would seem that South Korea's meat industry has something to do with the "seedy world" of the dog meat industry in Southeast Asia. Heck, M*A*S*H itself had its characters (who were in South Korea) referring to where they were as Southeast Asia, even though they are thousands of miles apart, so why not casual CNN readers.
This was just sloppy journalism. Consumption of dog meat is an emotional issue for many people, both those who are opposed to it and those who defend it. Even though dog meat is consumed in China and a number of countries throughout Asia, the stilted way it gets discussed has been twisted into a stereotype about Korea that makes it seem likely a uniquely Korean issue, and the worst aspects of the industry in other countries sometimes are placed squarely on the shoulders of Korea (and its national image).
I ate his dog with some fava beans and a nice Chianti
Talking about "i ate his dog" Once upon a time in the far east of Asia, there were two families living next to each other. One day Mr. A discovered so many tails, yes, cat tails on his roof. He confronted Mrs. B, the widow, about those wandering tails on his roof. She confessed that she was the one who ate his cats. He asked then why wasted the tails, She replied because I found my dog head in the back of my house. Life is not so meaningful when head and tail not going in pair. They late happily got married and ate each other from head to tail for life. One lesson to learn, to love is to eat __ whatever available to you and for you.
It's all about culture bias. For Westerners eating pigs and cows is OK, but eating dogs is disgusting. For a Moslem eating pigs and dogs is disgusting, for a Hindu eating all of them would be wrong. Yet there is no substantial difference between the three. Before arguing against eating dogs and in favor of eating other aninimals you just have to admit you're culturally biased. Personally I have eaten dog meat (in Korea), but for many years I have been a vegetarian. We have to either admit other people have the right to slaughter and eat any animals they like or deny it altogether.
... and that is the wise man's words. Amen.
Thats the main point, I agree.
Your analysis is 100 percent correct. We need more people like you in this world.
EVERYTHING is wrong with eating a dog.
Friends don't dine on friends.
Why not ! For that matter how about eating junk people it would help with world hunger.
First, the only real difference between dogs and pigs is that dogs show affection to human beings while pigs don't. It's the most selfish and hence immoral argument I have heard of, saving who loves us and not who deserves to be saved according for instance to a much more important value like how much the animal suffer and realizes his death.
Pulp fiction has also a great quote on this argument:
Jules Winnfield:
Pigs are filthy animals. I don't eat filthy animals.
Vincent Vega:
Yeah but bacon tastes good. Pork chops taste good.
Jules Winnfield:
Hey, sewer rat may taste like pumpkin pie, but I'd never know 'cause I wouldn't eat the filthy mother-fu**ers. Pigs sleep and root in sh**. That's a filthy animal. I ain't eating nothing that ain't got sense enough to disregard his own feces.
Vincent Vega:
How 'bout a dog? Dog eats his own feces.
Jules Winnfield:
I don't eat dog either.
Vincent Vega:
Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal?
Jules Winnfield:
I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy, but they definitely dirty. But, dog's got personality; personality goes a long way.
Vincent Vega:
Ahh, so by that rational, if a pig had a better personality, he would cease to be a filthy animal. Is that true?
Jules Winnfield:
Well, we'd have to be talking one charming mother-fu**ing pig
Isn't it ironic... We in the U.S. butcher baby boys by cutting off the end of their sex organ (circumcision)...
And all-the-while we are aghast at someone on the other side of the world eating dog meat...
well so much hate, the point of this article?
Oh... we eat pigs - and they have 'personality'... remember Arnold Ziffel from "Green Acres"?!?
Some of these comments are the most ignorant statements I've read throughout my life. Cultures vary from place to place. Americans might not understand the moral concept of eating another living creature that for most Americans consider a family member. Asians might not understand why Americans would want to adopt their meal into their family. At the end of the day...you just have to agree to disagree. Although, I will say this...I read in another article that some place in asia is using human feces to make synthetic meat...gross. I'll stick to being a vegetarian.
we did NOT evolve as carnivores, VEGAN BY DESIGN..its the meat n dairy (milk is for baby cows get.soymilk) that lead to heart attack, stroke, pad, ed, ect.. (pcrm.org) the arteries become as hard and brittle as the stem of a clay pipe. they are so full of calcium they are more like rocks than blood vessels. cutting them with a scissor at autopsy makes a distinct crunching sound. this blockage also occures in the arteries to the brain. when they close off, part of the brain dies, a stroke. any meijer, kroger, walmart, HAS vegan burgers, hot dogs, tofu dogs, and deserts. as for charities, MRMCMED.ORG then humaneseal.org, hope 2 see u at the track (f1.com).
Seriously? Why do human beings have INCISORS, teeth that are designed to strip flesh from the bone? If we were vegan by design, we'd have a mouth full of molars, like cows and horses, who are vegan by design. Seriously, give your head a shake and take a high school biology class rather than trying to shove you PETA-loving BS down our throats. Here's a website to educate you:
http://www.petakillsanimals.com
when i need a good LOL i will be sure to read your message over and over, r u DRUNK?....... what does peta have to do with MRMCMED.ORG HUMANESEAL.ORG PCRM.ORG ect?............ just as auto companys have NOTHING to do with each other animal groups are no different. you took biology? how forgetfull can you get... the long, intricate, winding, human digestive tract is ILL SUITED to digesting and expelling flesh food which is QUICKLY decomposed. among many other PHYSIOLOGICAL differences. we have NO claws for tearing flesh. and, our weak JAWS and POINTED CANINE TEETH bear NO resemblance to those of carnivores.. ok, now you crawl back into your little cave. oh by the way.. do you STILL believe the world is flat?
American's eating beef is seen as downright disgusting and immoral in the eyes of hindu people whom view cattle as sacred. Is this different from us seeing eating dog as morally inhumane? Don't think so. There's always another side. People are just ignorant when it comes to other cultures.
No animal brutally is not a part of anyones culture. The dogs are tortured, yes tortured in horrid conditions! That is not culture and a lot of asians do not believe in eating dog meat or have any part of it.
Having an animal that is considered sacred for religious reasons and a domesticated animal humans have co-existed since anyone can know are two different things. I admit that if I had to slaughter my own animals for food I'd probably never get past a fish.
Well, we westerners don't eat dogs and cats because they're "cute". Yet we have no problem eating "less cute" mammals like pigs and cows. Personally, I think we should take animals that are due to be euthanized and butcher them to feed prisoners and the poor. Meat is meat, regardless of which animal it came from, and beggars can't be choosers. Waste not, want not, and all that jazz.
Why feed meat to the prisoners and poor. Why teach them about cruelty. You can get plenty of protein from seeds, nuts, grains, fruits and vegetables. A vegetarian diet is way healthier than a meat based diet. No heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis.. the list goes on and on. Protein from meat is difficult to digest. That is why there is such an epidemic of disease in Western society! And all the diseased coming from commercialized animal farms. Swine flu, Mad cow disease, E-coli, bird flu. ....the list goes on and on.
"No heart disease, stroke, diabetes, arthritis...." Come now, Tina. there are lots of vegetarians who get these diseases. E. coli is an enteric that dwells in every human, and is typically transferred from fecal matter the treatment of vegetables. Mad Cow is an import from England, though Kruetzfeld-Jakob (look it up) has nothing to do with diet. Being mammals, humans are very good at digesting protein.Lactation has been the hallmark of mammalian survival and evolution. Please try to be as educated as you are passionate, and in that way you might just sound as if you know about what you are talking. The swine flue and bird flu come from Asia, not the West. The list of your stupidity goes on and on and on..,
you tell em tina. ole jimbo just dont wanna listen. like they say, some folkes you jus cant reach.
Greenpeace can go to he11 as far as I'm concerned. Did you know that they singlehandedly murdered millions in African nations (through starvation) by convincing the leaders of those nations that using genetically altered grain to feed their people was like feeding them poison? Activists like this are insensitive slaves to a badly-flawed mindset.
What's wrong with this, where to start? Dogs are domesticated. Ever get into the psychology of a dog? Dogs generally understand people better than people understand people. It's not a dependency thing, its a real connection. Dogs are beyond a companion animal, they've been the main work animal alongside a horse. That means our existence is co-dependent on many levels. Some can say that people domesticated dogs but dogs also domesticated people back. For some reason I can excuse people who hurt other people but I can't excuse someone who hurts a dog.
Some calloused people commenting here! Dogs are not called man's best friend for nothing. Their loyalty to man is beyond compare and to think some of you excuse this cruel practice of killing these most affectionate and loyal of animals!
The intelligence displayed by many cannines approaches so closely to human intelligence that it is a mystery. They manifest sympathy and tenderness toward their companions in suffering. They show an affection for those who have charge of them, far superior to the affection shown by some of the human race. They form attachments for man which are not broken without great suffering to them.
What man with a human heart, who has ever cared for a mans' best friend, could look into their eyes, so full of confidence and affection, and willingly give them over to the butcher's knife? How could he devour their flesh as a sweet morsel?
Four million cats and dogs are put to sleep in US shelters every year. Before complaining about about a foreign country's dietary habits we should correct our own treatment of animals and problems with animal over population. Shelter animals in the US are euthanized and disposed of. At least the animals in South Korea are being used to feed a populace.
Hmmm, I don't think being humanely put to sleep = being tortured to death. Falling asleep seems preferable to being cooked alive or having skin ripped off so some lunatic can capture a soul to help his little weenie.

I will eat your dog too. Meat is meat! so, hide your little princess chiwawa before I barbecue it on July 4th.
Burnt, We Humans Smell As Pig. In certain cultures WE, Humans were eaten as we now eat PIG
Is One still as an animal or are we not evolving toward Enlightenment?
Does one still eat PIG, or as a Human, is one at that level of development?

@Wasabiwahabi. Uneducated? I work in the Hospital ER unit? Do you know how many obese people pass through the unit on a daily basis. Never met anyone who is a vegan with arteriocsclerosis! or Atherosclerosis! It would be a good idea if you educate yourself about the saturated fat in meat and how it affects the arteries??? Read it up and educate yourself. Better yet go down and visit the ER Unit of your local hospital and see for yourself how people are suffering. Educated yourself by reading how meat is difficult on the human digestion, there is no fiber and leads to many health problems from heart disease, constipation, hemorrhoids, and cancer ( plenty of antibiotics and steriods in meat).
Who is the nitwit who refereed to E. coli as a disease?
Who said swine flu was of Western origin?
Who said bird flu was of Western origin?
Who – and this is the tragic one – said that "NO" vegetarians get diabetes?
Who said that "NO" vegetarians get arthritis?
Who said that "NO" vegetarians get heart disease?
I think it was Tina. Yes, it was Tina?
I used to work in an ER and transferred to the O.R. (No kidding.) Tell me, Tina, in what capacity do work in the ER?
In what medical school or school of Allied Health Professions did you learn that a vegetarian diet precludes diabetes? Come to think of it, you seem to be the only one I have heard that claims to have both the source and the CURE for diabetes! Do you realize how dangerous passing off a vegetarian diet as medical advice is? So, vegetarians need not check their blood sugar? No EKG"s necessary for vegetarians? If someone took your claims seriously, you genuinely could be responsible for his or her death.
"Never met anyone who is a vegan with arteriosclerosis! " My G-d, do you realize how dangerous saying this can be? Cholesterol is in every cell of the body. Even vegans die without it. Excess lipid production not stored in adipose tissue will get tucked away between the tunia media and interna. This, as any first year nurse or med school student know, will happen, yes, even in vegans, without ever having eaten so much a slice of cheese. You are scary. All obesity is not diet related. Pituitary adenoma or even low testosterone cause this every day, unfortunately.
Years ago, and granted it was about 15 years ago, I used to work oncology. I met patients who believed they were cursed by their Creator because they never ate meat, but presented with digestive metastatic malignancies.
AHHHHHHHH!!! There's a carnivore in the OR!
Vampire Alert!
All Humans regardless of race, nationality, religion, or culture should eat vegetables not dog meat.

Please do not take my statement above seriously. Got carried away with my emotions! Meat is safe to eat and you will not get diseases from it.
I get upset with I see cruelty to animals or people. I wish everyone would feel the same ; the world would be a better place to live.
Dog is so primitive. Baby fetus soup and dumplings is where it's at, did anyone ever see the movie Dumplings(2004)? It's the secret for staying young .
Dog meat is very flavorful with a tenderness like lamb. Nothing wrong with EATING the meat. All the other omnivores can say the same about beef and pork.
@maya humans didn't breed tdogs for companionship – we bred them as hunting animals (hounds, terriers, dachsunds) and to retrieve shot birds from swamps and long grass, and as working dogs (border colly, dobermans etc.). Even the dalmatian was apparently bred to run underneath carriages to clear stray animals off the road, and apparently ,to prevent urchins hanging on underneath to get into the grounds of stately homes.
Maybe we don't always breed dogs as companions but the fact is that they have evolved to become that. Dogs more than any other animal have actually evolved alongside human beings. That's why we shouldn't eat them, they are hardwired to be receptive to our love and attention and no one can deny that. I don't even want to get into what's wrong with eating factory farmed animals to begin with.
First CNN post ever-so many comments on eating dogs compared to politics, human rights, health, etc! It's not suprising considering the fact that so many cannot separate their own emotional truths from facts, logic, and reason-the emotion evoking stories always get a rise out of people. I think I may be a genius because I can tell a LOT about each one of you by your opinions on this subject. For example, those who remark things like "dogs are easy to eat-you can get them to come to you" are evil jerks just looking for a reaction. However....
Folks who direct their feelings to animals instead of people need to recognize that the reason you prefer animals is that people have expectations of you that animals do not. Maybe the problem is that you aren't capable of sustaining the more equitable relationships humans require and only want the unconditional sort of love that animals provide. Blondi thought Hitler was a great guy too.....just sayin'
Blow it our yer' self-righteous rectum. Just saying.
The other posts have been up for nearly two weeks. How and where do you get your numbers? Just saying.
Well, that was a logical, well expressed insightI Maybe got a little close to the bone for ya there huh? My rectum isn't self righteous at all, though. I don't understand the remark about "other posts" I was just observing that subjects like this get a lot of posts comparatively.
So, then, where did you get your numbers "comparatively?" How many posts on each?
o...m...g...forgot the first rule of posting. People who cannot refute other's opinions like to direct attention to immaterial points. Too bad I rarely make spelling/grammar mistakes-you could really negate my entire point by the fact that I don't know the various meanings of "their-they're-there" or even "of" for "have" as in "I would of"... Are you by any chance a defense lawyer?
You nimblick! The numbers of comparison were the substance of your post! So, what were they? You brought it up.
Koreans never eat their own dogs, pet dogs. It's just a very traditional culture since ancient times. They seldom eat cows since they provided the powers of the cultivation like for digging soil, turning the mills, and transportation -wagon. But dog were different. Since protein composition of dog meat is very similar to human's,they've found it is digested well and good for health. Please understand cultural background.
My "meat dog" is a Jindo which is supposedly a "National Treasure"...why would a Korean want to eat a Jindo? Also, While living on Ghangwha Island I was told that the dogs are killed in a painful way so they release adrenaline. Then when the meat is consumed the adrenaline is passed on to the human eating it. This is so unscientific and not true...it's just cruel
!
I am a Korean. Although there are many Koreans who eat the meat, the majority of Korean people don't eat. .. or never. Even those who have eaten once, they usually don't again or frequently. I've never eat the meat too. Most women do not eat the meat and dislike. Media have exaggerated it. That's power of media and often people regard a portion of the fact as a whole story.
Even in ancient times, the dog meats were not the major source of the meat. Cattle like figs, chickens, ducks, and fishes were the sources. Again dog meats were also for the special occasions (summer time) and for poor people usually lived in country sides. They loved their dogs in their houses as today we do.
I think we are all fairly open minded people here. I urge everybody to try some Dog Stroganoff, its delicious. After you try it, you might even want to eat your family pet you've had for 5+ years, just because it's so good. To me it seems like the majority of the people here who are against eating dogs are those who have never tried eating a dog before. So please don't put down others who have, and are actually enjoying this fine delicacy.
You people are sick! Stop eating dogs damn Koreans and North Vietnamese Catholics alike! I sure hope these dog Koreans are not Christians and I do know that the Bac Ky ( north vietnamese ) eat dogs and followed the Catholics cult. How are they going to answer to Jesus when he ask them the reasons for eating dogs.
This is what's wrong with many western cultures. What gives you the right to believe your culture is the correct one and that it must be universal. Just because you guys generally don't eat dog does that mean no one else can? To many dog might be a cheap source of meat where beef or pork may not be. They grow up eating it and see nothing wrong with it. It's just like how we grew up eating PB&J but in many eastern cultures would find it repulsive. I personally don't eat dog and don't plan to. It's a personal choice but I have nothing against people who do or find it disgusting.
It's not the fact that people eat dogs it's the way they are "grown" and treated, it's completely cruel and unsterile....not only with dogs, but with many meat animals in Asian countries....and unless you've seen it you should not comment
and the way we farm chickens is more humane? Many are grown without beaks so they do not injure each other in extremely crowded conditions. They are also fed to the point they cannot walk properly. I do agree with you 100% that conditions need to be improved, but not only for dogs.
My argument wasn't pointed towards people who are arguing about the conditions animals are raised in, but towards who are using the argument that the act of eating dog is morally wrong and disgusting just because they see them as a pet and "intelligent". FYI pigs are known to be smarter than dogs.
I lived in Korea for a year and bought a "meat dog" from a random house near a school I taught at. She was about 6 months old, full of worms, infected with Parvo-virus, and because she was so squished in a cage her tendons hadn't developed properly so her hind paws flexed upward. On top of that the cage was above ground so the feces and urine could flow through, but it was actually cutting the dogs paws so her's are all scarred now. The man had to trow scraps of food in the cage and shove a large stick through the cage in order to reach in and grab her and not get attacked by the 15 feral dogs. None of the dogs received real dog food, just left over scraps of human food and they all ate feces for nutrients. I was lucky that my dog lived, but she definitely would have died had I not taken her and had the knowledge to save her (I am a vet student now, but had lots of experience working with animals). By not treating them in a humane way they end up losing half of their "herd" to disease or malnurishment. This isn't just with dog meat, but also the way I saw cows treated. Left to grow in small pens until they were ready to be slaughtered. The lack of care put into their meat in some areas of South Korea and many parts of Asia has a lot to do with lack of funding and money, but it is an absolutely disgusting practice and it should be a law that is actually enforced instead of one that is ignored.
@kp – thanks for your observation and thanks for saving the dog.
I lived in Shanghai for 4 years and I too have seen horrible conditions of animals to live in. I totally agree that this needs to change. However, before singling out Asian countries and calling the people there "sick" look at your own country first. How do you think you get your chicken for so cheap?
Ultimately, eating dogs ismorally no different than eating a cow. In some cultures, cow are considered sacred. To them, the american practice of eating cows is ghastly. Many cultures eat dogs, and for a long time, dogs have been equated with rats. They have not been viewed as man's best friend until recently, when Western culture has started to infiltrate theirs. We should respect their cultures. One can oppose the eating of dogs just as they would oppose cows (eg. vegitarians), but there is no difference otherwise.
If plants start screaming,shouting or bleeding will we stop eating them. What is important is that we should not waste food.
If people need so much to eat flesh, why don't they eat their own children? Because it's immoral? It's immoral to eat every living being! We don't need to eat anyone, we left our caverns centuries ago (at least, some of us did) so please don't start talking nonsense like tradition or culture. We can live without killing anyone, evolve! Humans taste like pigs, what would you think if someone ate YOU in the name of culture? Who do think you are to decide that you can live and others must die? Get a life, and a brain too
You say traditions and culture is nonsense, yet vegan is itself a type of culture. Most people out there respect your choice to be vegan and honestly I am impressed with most people being able to be one. You tell people to "evolve", one would assume eating a wider range of foods is more favorable for survival instead of limiting yourself to only one thing, that's taking a step back. I respect your choice, how about you show a little for mine.
Oh and anyone that has to use eating other humans are a argument is just sad. Take a few sociology and biology classes before and come up with a few real arguments to the debate. Stop making real vegans look bad.
as a argument*
man discovered fire, they learned that they could consume meat safely.
If mankind were born to eat meat then why is it that we cannot eat raw meat like the lions, the tigers and the hyenas without getting sick to this day? Why is that we cannot devour the bones, the hair, or the contents of the stomach as dogs and other carnivores do without becoming very ill? Why is that we do not have teeth like the lions, tigers, hyenas, and dogs? We cannot consume raw meat and we do not have teeth as real carnivores do, therefore we are not meant to eat meat. Man evolved to teach themselves how to survive during harsh times. We are not in harsh times. We have taught ourselves agriculture, but does that mean we have to practice it without moral, regard, or respect? To think that man can take any living being and profit from it is selfish and cocky. Today people consume more meat than is needed; now they want to eat dogs too? How sad.
If people want to eat dogs because food and money is scarce, that's their choice. I am an Asian/Pacific Islander and have a family dog. I would not in a million years eat a dog, but I would not judge others for it either. If it was the end of the world and only my dog and I were left, I would rather die and have him eat me so that he could live. I know that my dog would wait for me to die naturally before he actually ate me. Most humans, like the ones on this thread would kill the dog first. Who cares as long as they survive, right? Dogs know they shouldn't eat their best friends until they're dead, even dogs understand proper table manners.
Excuse the typo above. Thanks
Humans were strictly gatherers before the discovery of fire. It is not mankind’s nature to eat meat. When the climate became too harsh, natural plants and the likes became scarce. In desperation humans tried to eat raw meat as they have observed from wild animals. After doing so they realized that they immediately became very ill, disease would spread and eventually they would die. Sickness was rampant, life expectancy was very short, the men and women were desperate for a birth to reach full term. When man discovered fire, they learned that they could consume meat safely.

Actually we can and still do eat raw meat. If the meat is fresh there is a very low chance of any harmful bacteria to be found in meat as they cannot penetrate into the tissue. You should try to eat some type of tartar or carpaccio. Chimpanzees, our closest relatives eat raw meat as well. The reason why we cook meats is that it makes it much easier to digest and allows us to gain access to more nutrients within it, this goes the same for vegetables as well.
@ Paul:
The medical definition of "Canine" pertaining to teeth is explained as a conical pointed tooth, not canine meaning dog teeth. We may have conical-shaped teeth (all four of them), but they are nothing compared to the teeth found in a true carnivore's mouth.
Do you pull raw meat off the bone with your bare teeth? Do you pierce that animal's fur and skin with your canines to get to that raw meat or is it put in a package for you to pick up at the grocery store? If you're meant to eat raw meat like animals, then you should go out and hunt for it like wild animals do. Then come back and tell me that it's natural for humans to do that sort of thing. If you behaved that way, society would suggest you are infected with rabies because it isn't normal for humans to run around with their "dog teeth" attached to the back of a cow.
It is an obvious fact that taking another life as a food resource is an action of survival in both the animal kingdom and our human civilization, which is why I did not elaborate on that. The practice of agriculture is, however, a creation by man for the simple convenience to access food, thereby eliminating hunting for said food. Is it fair to farm every meat available to man because we can?
Of course it's disgusting to eat the contents of a stomach. I'm not saying humans do it or should do it. I am saying wild animals do it and humans do not because the human stomach is not strong enough to stand up to a lot of the natural bacteria that occurs in wild animals or even domesticated animals.
Humans today can eat heavily managed (with chemicals) farmed meats in raw form, but it is still dangerous. Do not believe that because you are eating raw farmed beef that you are safe from food born illnesses. They have to treat raw meats with ammonia and whatever else to kill dangerous bacteria. You are wrong. If meat is only cooked so that it is easily digested, then why do people get sick or even die from eating "undercooked" meat?
You bring up the point that chimpanzees eat meat; do you also do what chimpanzees do because they are closely related to humans? Just because chimpanzees eat meat doesn't mean humans are meant to eat meat because they are closely related. Chimpanzees also rip off testicles and chew off faces. Is that acceptable behavior for humans to do because their closely-related chimpanzees do it?!
So we have different opinions. You stated yours and I've stated mine and I agree to disagree. Have a wonderful 4th. I have to end here before the fireworks. Bye.
I don't understand why a species must kill a animal with their bare teeth or hands to be called a meat eating species. We are on top of the food chain for a reason, we have larger brains that has allowed us to think and develop other methods of hunting or cultivating food. There are ants that cultivate their own source of fungus to eat, This is evolution. This is why we are on top. That being said and like I have said earlier this comes with responsibilities. There is nothing wrong with farming animals, but there are methods of doing so that are.
You keep on saying we cannot eat raw meat and I will tell you once again. Bacteria CANNOT penetrate into the muscle tissues of animals like cow or duck (AKA red meats). The reason why we do get sick from white meats (AKA pigs) is because they have micro vessels in the meat that bacteria can enter, which in turn could lead to you getting salmonella. If you found a wild cow somewhere that's healthy you could kill it and eat it on the spot. Yes we cannot eat the contents of the stomach because out immune system is not build for it correctly. That alone is not proof that we were not built to eat meat. Did you even read my analogy with vegetables? Our bodies aren't build to eat grass or leaves because we cannot break down cellulose. You insist that we were built to eat vegetables and insist that because we cannot eat certain parts of a animal we were not built to eat them. Yet we cannot eat grass or leaves and with your logic we were not build to eat vegetables either.
Yes I agree with you that animals we cultivate are heavily treated with chemicals and antibiotics though many are for increasing the animals body mass. However, they are treated for the packaging and shipping of said meats because bacteria can be found of the surfaces after the animal is been partitioned.
The reason why many do get sick from raw meat isn't because of the meat itself. It is mainly due to our unsanitary methods of slaughtering and transportation that leads the spoiling or contamination of it. Just because we are not able to digest the fur or bones of a animal doesn't lead to any proof that we were not made to eat meat. Our digestive systems are just not made to do so just like how we cannot eat grass or leaves because we cannot break down the cellulose found in it, yet we still eat other vegetables that do not contain it.
You do bring up a good point on why humans have the right to take any life, though I would not state it in that way. Taking another life for our survival isn't something found only in human behavior. It occurs in every form of life right down to bacteria and virus' (If you consider them alive or not is a different debate). The question that SHOULD be the real debate is the responsibility that comes with taking another life for our survival. If you take a life to eat, then you shouldn't waste a thing like organs. I am aware that everywhere around the world people waste food, but I that in many western cultures it is getting out of hand. The mention of eating the stomach or intestine of a cow is disgusting to many and I have seen fisheries throw away fish heads, which to me is the best part of the fish.
Because we are on top of the food chain and can pretty much wipe out of species if we so choose so, I think societies around the world need to have a good think about that responsibility and stop wasting so much of what we take.
Actually, modern day humans have emerged almost solely because our progenitor species began eating meat. Doing so lead to increased brain masses in our continual evolutionary development. To say meat eating is not inherently human would be faulty as meat consumption is what made us what we are today.
We also do have teeth similar to dogs, wolves, and lions. They're called canine teeth, canine meaning dog.
Disgusting.
All horses, dogs, cats, rats, bats, and mice should not be on anyones menu!
EWWWWW!
I heard human is very delicious! Put I'll pass.
Anyone who advocates the killing of a dog is wasting space on this earth. The organizers of the "event" should be rounded up, sold to the highest bidder, and eaten live on the internet and pay-per-view.
I am disgusted and saddened by this story. I am especially appalled by the callous tone of the author of this piece, who stated, "Just because we don't do it in the U.S. doesn't seem to make for a very good argument." Really? Hey Emily, how's this for a scenario . . . I take your dog out of his cage (and let's assume he has been in a small cage with five or six other dogs for his entire life, just like in South Korea, with infected sores all over his body, no proper food or water, in a state of constant misery, and in pain and a state of terror the whole time), and I proceed to hang him from his hind limbs and viciously beat him with a bat, slowly, over the course of about an hour (this is done, according to bogus South Korean folklore, to ensure he suffers enough so that he releases lots of adrenaline, the chemical that is supposed to make his flesh taste better and increase the sexual prowess of whoever eats the flesh). He then dies a horrible, unspeakable death. Hopefully at this point he is truly dead, because the next step is to take a blowtorch and burn off his fur and "condition" his flesh for cooking. Now, I ask you, Is this something anyone in the modern world, anyone with even a speck of humanity left in their soul, would summarize as, "Just because we don't do it in the U.S. doesn't seem to make for a very good argument." You write this story, Miss Lodish, as if you were reporting on the latest trend in Manhattan eateries, not the barbaric and widespread slaughter of man's best friend in South Korea. The fact that a large group of morally reprehensible and greedy people in South Korea think it is okay to brutally kill our canine friends for food because it is part of their "tradition," does not make it acceptable behavior in today's world. In fact, I can't think of another recent story that made me as sick to my stomach and deeply touched me as much as this one did. Kudos, Miss Lodish, for your cold-hearted approach to a subject that we Americans apparently feel much more deeply about than you do. Torturing, lifetime mass caging, and brutally killing dogs for food and profit is morally wrong and it is a sin against the natural order of the world. This must stop, Miss Lodish, and South Koreans will–hopefully sooner than later–have to explain their complicity in this savagery. It is simply indefensible.
I hope you don't eat other meat because if you do, then I hope you can explain how okay it is to brutally kill cows and pigs.
And, I don't see why people who eat dog meat have to explain themselves to you. I'm all against dog meat myself, but I don't see why an outside culture has to have a debate about it. Do Americans explain their cow eating habit to Hindus?
Agreed 100%. This is what's wrong with many Americans today. They believe that their beliefs and culture is the correct one and don't even think twice about others or are ignorant towards them. It's just arrogant. You guys better wake up soon, there are many emerging powers out there with wildly differently cultures and traditions. Get use to it.
Cows and pigs are not tortured to death in the US as a matter of fact if anyone is caught doing it gets in trouble for it. And the majority of Asians do not eat dog meat and are fighting filth like you who believe it's ok. so Americans have nothing to do with this story.
Not once did anyone here say it was good to torture a animal to death before consuming. Learn to read. We are simply saying that there is nothing wrong with the act of eating dog itself. It is no different that eating a cow or a pig.
Yes cows and pigs are not tortured, but their living conditions are horrendous. They are fed things that they were not meant to eat simply because it is a cheaper options. America is far from perfect when it comes to animal rights and humane methods of cultivations.
@Boop- Did I say anywhere that I thought it was okay to eat dog meat? I specifically said I was ALL AGAINST dog meat. So do not put words into my mouth. What I am saying is that it really doesn't matter what any outside country thinks about the eating habits of another country. And that's why I bring Americans in to the picture. Why should Americans feel the need to have this long debate about the ethics of eating dogs when it's not even their own country? I think it's just pure ignorance that people can't accept other cultures when it contradicts with their own.
Dog meat has declined in recent years and you know what, just some 60-70 years ago, when the country was going through severe poverty, people commonly ate dog meat. That eating habit from those years does not just disappear. Some older generations that were alive back then do continue such eating habits. The fact that in recent years, there has even been a debate about the problems of eating dog meat means progress. I believe that in the future, dog meat will be gone from Korea but it's not going to happen overnight. But it really doesn't matter what the US or other countries think. Unless Americans are ready to start debating about the ethics of other forms of meat, I don't see why they should be the one judging other countries. If Hindus began writing about the problems of eating cows, what are people going to say?
I hate dog meat myself. My whole family has never eaten dog meat. Heck when my mom met my dad, one of the things she first asked him was if he ate dog meat. So both sides of my family and myself, have never eaten dog meat. So I think it's really ignorant when some people just give me these judging looks just because I tell them I am Korean. Even if I did eat dog meat, why should I be judged by a country that has no right to judge?
Such savagery in killing dogs is deplorable – I could not agree more. I however cannot say that it is morally reprehensible to consume dogs. It is a matter of cultural difference. But animals are still living creatures and if we are to use them for human consumption, than it is only humane that we see such animals killed in the least cruel method deployable.
Dr. Alex – well said. And rest of you guys who keep talking about pigs and cows : give up your mantra. It's not working. Dogs are able to defend themselves, and the farmers know it. Therefore, raising dogs that are constantly scared of you is mandatory. They are hit, abused and handled roughly. To make them obedient cattle-like animals. Dog meat industry cannot be separated from a lifetime of cruelty. And note that many of us who oppose this sick practice have repeatedly informed the rest of you that we're vegetarians.
If you don't like the customs of Korea..............DON'T GO TO KOREA! Don't make these people 'wrong' just because they indulge in certain practices that you find offensive. It isn't the responsibility of Americans to re-create the entire planet in our image!
My uncle went to a place that slaughter cows. He came back and vowed never to eat cow. He saw them crying before being slaughter.
Cows DO. NOT. CRY.
Stop giving other animals on this planet a higher shelf just because YOU value them as something besides meat.
And definitely stop telling other people in other parts of the world how to live their lives.
End of discussion. Moderators, close the comment section.
Yeah, cows do cry. My uncle butcher pigs for a living and is okay eating pigs because he said pig don't cry. I am not sure of that. After his visit to a cow butcher plant, he came home crying.
Now, he doesn't eat beef at all.
Yes, cows do cry in a way or tearing and really TEARS IN THEIR EYES BEFORE KILLINGS
This is a very slippery slope. I'm an old farm girl and have no illusions or denial about where food comes from. I love dogs, too, but it's a cultural thing. Yes, the idea of eating dogs disgusts me, as does the notion of eating horse meat, but I'm sure opening a McDonald's franchise in New Delhi or a BBQ join in Tel Aviv wouldn't go over all that well, either. My point is, whatever creature we choose to consume, we have an obligation to treat it well, give it the best care we can in terms of basic food, shelter, medical, and social needs, and kill it in a quick, painless, and non-frightening manner. Temple Grandin has done a great deal of study in this area and her ideas should be implemented in the meat industry. In my own experience, whenever we had to have a steer "processed" for our family's consumption, my dad would remind us that a life had to be taken in order for us to eat, and for that reason never to waste or take food for granted. I still enjoy steak, but I inwardly apologize to the cow and thank it for its sacrifice.
Many of you are saying that eating dog is horrible. We eat cows, which are sacred animals in India. I'm sure many Indians feel the same way about us eating steaks and hamburgers as many of you feel about Asian cultures eating dog. I doubt many of you would give up eating beef just because another culture and/or some people within your own culture disapprove.
There's at least one intelligent person on earth. Thanks Austin...
Yes, other animals besides dogs are intelligent and have feelings. That's why we shouldn't eat any animals. STOP KILLING AND EATING ANIMALS! Just sayin'.
Evolution??????? STOP.. GOD made everything here on earth, We were put on this earth to eat anything we want. There are also consequences to what we eat. The bible says that we eat natural foods, and you shall lie a long life (health wise) and we sacrifice a lamb in his honor to eat,m that's really the only meat that we are really allowed to eat. Just like why is pig meat unhealthy? Dog meat is not something to eat without there being a consequence for eating it.
You do understand that every society seemed to come up their own god right? See all the natives? See all their gods that we laugh of as a joke?
Do you see that you're just like them? Your god too is made up. It's true that man is made to eat other animals, but to think that the bible told you so is wrong.
Westerners have nothing to do with the movement against dog eating in Korea. It's Asians vs Asians. The dog in the picture above was saved by Chinese activists. However we are all free to have an opinion. Viagra is a better and more reliable option to the "benefits" of dog meat.
Yes- by Chinese activists in CHINA. Not really Asians vs. Asians considering how nations like China consume more dog meat and they have the festivals. You make it seem like Chinese activists were rescuing dogs in Korea- just clarifying.
I love dogs, it tastes good
I love humans. They taste good, part of my culture! Can I bite your leg. Human fingers deep fried served with BBQ are good too.
If you eat cow, pig, chicken, fish or anything else but veggies and you rail against eating dog on some moral grounds, you are full of crap. End of argument. A dog has no higher standing than a cow just because we make them pets. I have never eaten dog but there's nothing inherently evil or disgusting about eating one. Take your blinders off. If you're out there trying to stop dogs from being eaten but not other animals ask yourself why is that ok? Why does the cow deserve a life of being prepared for slaughter? Why a pig? Why a chicken? Why any of the other countless animals we dine on? Grow up. You are not better than anybody else because you don't eat dog but you eat other animals. There is no moral high ground here.
This is one of many ways dogs are killed for consumption in Korea, by hanging. Note how the death isn't immediate. They suffer for several minutes :

All of you who keep ranting about "Indian people don't eat cows, so it's about culture difference" Tell me how to raise "meat dogs" humanely, humanely transport them and humanely end their lives.
Not only is a dog a companion animal, with higher intelligence, and loyalty, but they just want to be loved. Eat a cow not a dog!
Eat me.
meat is murder!
If you eat one kind of meat it's kind of hypocritical to give another type of animal "special status" just because certain cultures or individuals think they're somehow more worthy of life due to being a popular pet. I love animals, but I eat hamburgers, and I would eat dog too if it were served to me. Vegans-like most extremists-give a very biased and emotionally based argument, and arguing emotion against logic just doesn't make sense. Come to the table with facts, and don't think that just because you may not agree with something, that that makes it wrong. We could all stand to be a little more open minded.
Nothing about eating dog is any more wrong than eating cow. Speaking of which, the robust and woolly cattle local to the Scottish Highlands have a tendency to develop a more pet-like relationship with their owners, similar to the role of a family dog, but bigger and more placid, plus they give wool and cream. Oh, and cows are vegetarian. So are some dogs.
As far as the early comments about humans eating humans? (turns out our meat is not much different from that of a pig, maybe a much-less-greasy bear...) We already did. More specifically, one reason the human race seems so physically unique among animal species is, we ate all our relatives. We hunted the species and subspecies most closely related to us until they all went extinct – and we're working on chimps next! (Still uncertain why Bigfoot stays out of view? I'm not.)
dogs are mans best friend. And a good source of protein. yum...yum
Zarnaik – I am vegetarian. May I speak now?
I have work before in small pig slaugtherhouse in my country, if you think that the pig dont have soul and fealings you have never withness the slaugther of a pig, pig cry like a dog or worse.
Late comment but needs to be said, everyone here against the consumption of dogs and yet are okay with the consumption of other animals are complete hypocrites. The argument that some animals are meant to be eaten due to their level of intelligence and sociability is completely flawed and you people seriously should just stop talking until you get sufficiently educated.
I have cared for dozens of injured wild animals and abandoned pets and in some cases I have had wild and domesticated creatures of the same species. Here are some facts I gathered from personal experience:
Some species of wild animals can be domesticated and become highly socialised.
Some domesticated animals such as pigs and sheep can be brought up as a pet and be very socialised.
In some cases, wild animals can become more socialised than their domestic counterparts of the same species.
Some 'domesticated' dogs are highly difficult to socialise and pose a danger to humans.
It's great that people think killing dogs is wrong but you ruin it (along with your credibility as an intelligent being) by stuffing your face with KFC and McDonalds.
The sheer thought of dogs suffering and ending up in the 'meat' trade is deeply heartbreaking, but I feel equally the same for the pigs, cows, ducks, chickens, turkeys, rabbits, fish and any other creature that the human decide is fodder to appease taste buds – yes, it all amounts to a moment on the lips cost animals to suffer and die. Why? Because I don't believe in self-preference or self-interest terminology of what is companion, domestic farm, or wild. All are sentient beings and have a right to live free of human exploitation, human inflicted pain and murder. So wrong in our arrogance are we to think solace and pain are exclusive to the human race and its beloved companion animals and that the human animal and non-human animal are not connected by any means. All is inter-connected and scientific evidence is bringing forth such proof at a rapid rate.
Viva vegan!!! The only ethical life-style to change the world for the better for human and non-human.

Dogs give love unconditionally and completely loyal? Might want to tell the pregnant woman who was killed by her loyal and unconditionally loving dog.
@Gabriel – it was a sad news to read..! But note that it was a pitbull. A breed known for its aggressions towards humans (and animals). Pitbulls should be banned.
“Dogs depend on us for survival” – So do pigs.
“Dogs are smart!!1” – So are pigs.
“Dogs were bred to be docile towards humans” – So were pigs. Animals are easier to farm when they don’t want to kill you.
“Dogs do rescue work, sniff out landmines, chase criminals, etc.” So? Dogs don’t do this because they are noble. They are trained to think they are playing a game. They find the right scent, bite the guy on the arm, they get a reward. They have no idea they are ever in any kind of danger. If dogs are so magical and noble, then people who are against eating dogs should think using them for this kind of work is horrible. A dog out on the battlefield isn’t willingly risking its life for some noble cause anymore than a toddler with a bomb strapped to it is.
Also, cats don’t do these things. So does that make them okay to eat?
“Dogs are man’s best friend!!1” Dogs aren’t best friends to me or billions of other people. I prefer to have humans as best friends, not animals that are incapable of assessing character traits, holding conversations or having an interest in anything other than food and chasing a ball, etc. I could kidnap children and brutally murder them in front of my dog and he’d still “love” me just as much as he does now. Blondie “loved” Hitler just as much as any other dog “loves” their master. A dog is pretty much guaranteed to like you no matter what as long as you give it stuff. Having to resort to a dog being your best friend seems kind of sad.
“We don’t eat carnivores!11” Just because you don’t doesn’t mean it is morally wrong. Also, billions of people eat tuna. Tuna are predatory fish. Is eating tuna barbaric?
“@Gabriel – it was a sad news to read..! But note that it was a pitbull. A breed known for its aggressions towards humans (and animals). Pitbulls should be banned.”
Actually, American Pit Bull terriers score higher on dog temperament tests than Golden Retrievers. Dog aggression and human aggression are not the same thing. My dog is a Jack Russell mix, a breed that was created to kill other animals, so I cannot let him be around smaller animals unsupervised as there is a good chance he will tear them to shreds. There is a reason why canine behaviorists are against BSL – it doesn’t work and is based on ignorance of dog behavior. Also, it causes many dogs that aren’t even APBTs to be taken from their families and killed. Just look at the dog Lennox in Canada.
We could stop world hunger by exporting the millions of dogs we kill each year in shelters to countries where eating dog meat is perfectly acceptable. Better to use that protein source than burn it.
Will Dan Rizzo be indicted for campaign violations before the election?
I am a Korean. I eat dog meat. So what? French eat snail. Indian don`t eat beef. That is just cultural difference.
Why can`t we eat dog meat? Dogs are smart? Pigs are smarter than dogs.
Dogs are our family? Somebody has pigs as family. Then, must not we eat pork?
No you shouldn't. You shouldn't eat any animals. It is completely cruel, but yet many people still do it. Not including me because I love animals and wouldn't support the killing of them.
I am a dog lover as a pet and companion. However, I think that perhaps we should eat dog. We kill millions of dogs every year becuase they are unwanted. So why not eat them? And while you are at it, use their fur. Yes that does sound kinda nasty. But I think about the cows and pigs that are raised for livestock. They never had a chance. but even though I am repulsed by that, i still eat them. I like meat. Now I have never ate dog meat, but perhaps I should start.
If I were dead a dog would eat me. More than 900 people visit U.S. emergency rooms for dog bites every day, and more than half of those attacks occur at home. I wouldn't choose to eat one, but if I had to I would. Besides, where do you think the phrase "Hot Dog" comes from!!!! Those lovely sausages made from dog meat by z Germans that imported their "Frankfurter" to America made from dog meat!!!!
I'm ethnic Chinese Malaysian and I say it again please please don't lump dog in the same category as other animals bred for food and by no mean I'm also trying to encourage meat eating culture. And please don't feed those stereotype all Asians eat dogs which are damn disgusting for us who are also dog lovers.
Not all Asians or Chinese regard dog as a food source.
Dogs are smart creatures and have intelligence of human kids.
From the pic, kudos to
China Animal Protection Association
You should concede cultural difference.
For you, dogs are friends. But for me, dogs are just animals.
For example, for indians, cows are gods.
But for you, beef is just meet.
Then, can`t you eat beef?
We don't kill people who are not as smart as others, so why should we kill animals that are less smart then us?
I actually wouldn't mind trying dog. I mean, it's not as if people don't eat horses (and drink their milk, though I haven't tried it), goats (and drink their milk), cows (and drink their milk), calves, sheep (and drink their milk, but I really didn't like the taste), lambs, chickens (and their eggs), duck (and their eggs), quail (and their eggs), turkey (do people eat turkey eggs?), pigs, deer, moose, snails, frogs, geese, zebra, birds' nests (from the cave swallow, which builds their nests out of their sticky siliva), and so on. The biggest problem I see is that it's a cultural issue. And quite frankly, I would rather see a dog who's put down put to some use rather than just have the corpse burned and sent to the landfill.
And if anyone is curious – because I haven't read all the comments (there's a lot, and I'm pretty lazy) so I don't know if it's been said yet – people tend not to eat other humans because there's the chance of getting the equivalent of mad cow disease, but the human version. The prions are mostly found in the brain, spine, and nerves, but that said, I still wouldn't want to take the chance.
When I was in the Navy, I ate dog in the Philippines and Korea. It’s not bad. Furthermore, I guarantee that anyone who frequently eats at Chinese restaurants in the US has eaten dog at some point. It is no more wrong to eat dog than it is to eat pig. Actually, pigs are much more intelligent than dogs, so it would seem all the animal rights freaks would be more upset about us slaughtering pigs for food than slaughtering dogs for food.
Dogs are unnatural creatures created by man from wolves. There is nothing special about them and they are detrimental to wildlife, other animals and the environment in general. Unlike the wolves from which they are descended, dogs kill purely for sport, i.e., they will chase down and kill every animal they can in a flock of chickens or herd of animals just for the fun of it. Additionally, they chase and kill wildlife, also purely for sport. Dog waste kills everything it touches – grass, other plants, etc. and causes ringworm and other bacterial illnesses and when it washes into bodies of water, it causes algae growth and if not controlled, kills everything in the water – except the algae.
If all these animal rights freaks really cared about animals, they would be promoting dog meat because every time a dog dies, another animal (whether livestock or wildlife) has a chance to live.
The fact that people eat dog meat is no less cruel then eating other meat. I think eating animals all together is completely cruel.
unless i'm mistaken the dogs they eat are a special breed, i would not mind trying it, some of it looks delicious. and all the dogs that get put down in america every year is any less barbaric then putting the dead dogs to good use as food? i don't think so, if you're going to kill it eat it. send some of the dogs that get put down in animal shelters to starving people in africa or haiti where they are stuck eating dirt.
omg why would you kill dogs and eat their meat?im a animal lover and i wanna kill those frickin peopple who waNNA EAT DOG MEAT!!!!!!!!!! I HATE EVERYBODY WHO IS LIKE A DOG KILLEER EVEN IF TTHIER MEAT TASTE GOOD(WHICH ILL NEVERRRRR EVERRRRR TRY ) DOGS ARE LOVING ANIMALSSSSS JUST LIKE US NOW TO ALL YOU EMAN DOG EATERS OUT THER I HATE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
