Anyways, they way they kill dogs is cruel. If they treat them decently and kill them humanely, it’s OK, but I am against inhumane killing of the dogs.

Oh yeah, by the way. many people from the U.S go to South Korean alot, and alot of them try dog there and like it. So, this publisher should SHUT UP and delete this picture for racism.

First I agree with Edrei in a way that if we protest against dog eating, we should also protest against eating of any meat. Even though we dont raise cows or pigs to be our pets, dogs fits in, domestically, with the rest of the meat. So if were sitting here eating beef and saying dog eating is unethical, we in turn, are being hypocrites…

Second the issue about humane treatment of animals right before being slaughtered.. well to be honest, if theyre going to die anyways why bother giving them an ethical treatment before theyre killed? I dont know if im the only one seeing this or maybe because im not an american born who was immersed in its arrogance, however i dont see the logical point in giving a ethical treatment to an animal thats about to get killed….

Yeah i realize that i would also want a peaceful death but am i going to be served on a plate afterwards im dead to a hungry customer? hell no.. but dogs, along with cows, pigs and chickens face that future and i think its futile to do something that will drastically improve their well being once they’ve made it to the infamous slaughterhouse…

From my personal point of view… if eating dogs are wrong, it would be wrong to eat cows, pigs and chickens as well. Until the day I become a vegetarian (which I can’t see it coming yet)… I have nothing against dog eating. I might find it hard to actually trying it myself though.

it’s interesting how humans, especially the younger generation have more sympathy for dogs than any other kind of animal. i also think dogs are adorable.
as humans, we shouldn’t be so selfish and we shouldn’t be letting such cruel things happen to another kind of species. but it’s also unfair how we show so much care for the dogs, but not for the other animals we kill, sell and eat everyday.
it’s an uneasy thing to make decisions on.

even though it will be nice to see us not killing animals anymore, it’s impossible.
life is a cycle. not just humans eat animals. animals eat each other too.
this is meant to be. or else, why couldn’t we all be herbivores?
humans might seem a bit selfish for their massive killing of all these animals for food. but humans control the world. they have the power to do so.
imagine if it were animals who are controlling the world now, do you not think they will eat humans too? will animals have so much sympathy for us humans then?

many different animals humans kill for food die in cruel ways. not just dogs. sharks are also cruelly killed just for humans to get their fins. i also heard in japan, they eat dolphin meat too. and again, they kill them in an awful way.

there are just too many things people can protest on.
it’s good that the younger generation is getting concerned about these issues.
maybe one day, no dogs are ever gonna be killed for food anymore.
i know we love dogs. but if we’re so nice, we should care about the other animals too, right?
i guess for now, just think of this as a cycle of life.
pray for the doggies. and if you have a dog, treasure him!

Anyway, I’ve seen undercover videos of the dog slaughter houses and the real cruelty is the way they torture and tramatize the dogs before they kill them. The reason for it? Get this, it’s a belief that if the dogs are excited by trama of some sort such as hanging from a tree and beating it before slaughter, then it makes the meat more tender or something because of the adrenalin flow produced from the trama or torture inflicted. Therefore, the meat is worth more to sell to the resturants. It’s ridiculous!

In other words, even though it is cruel to the dogs and it is definitly not right, the intention on the Koreans’ part is strictly to improve the quality of the meat. It’s crazy…and frankly a silly old superstition that has no real scientific or biological basis.

honestly i really don’t care if people in korea and china eat dogs. so what if people keep dogs as pets? people raise chickens, cows, and pigs just to kill them and sell their meat. they feed them and make them plump and fat and bam off to the market.
