In any given class of youngsters of mine, Ive generally had at least one or 2 who sing the praises of dog meat. I'm vegetarian and find meat generally repulsive, although i keep this to myself- that is, I am not dogmatic (haha?) about it at all. For my birthday, my Korean boss took us all out to lunch... at a dog meat restaurant here in Jeju. She knew very well that I am vegetarian and had taken my order of kongguksu in advance (I didn't realize it would be takeout for me and a restaurant meal for the others- I thought we must be going someplace with kongguksu!).. so it wasn't entirely thoughtless? I guess? Anyway, it was divisive among my Korean coworkers as well, and they ate samgyetang and looked equally as horrified when the stewing dog arrived. And yes, my boss had just gotten a pet dog, as well....Meganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13332792333969412826noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-39320805371009995112016-12-29T04:16:13.151-05:002016-12-29T04:16:13.151-05:00Thanks for the information, it's very interest...Thanks for the information, it's very interesting to see.<br /><br />Also, The same dish with different meat at Chinese restaurants is more like Chinese restaurants in the US.

They are just human, to me they have no life, they will die anyway, so what is the point, if you can eat dogs/ puppies just because it tastes good lets eat children or old people as well, i read they taste like pork.Many kids who die why bury them lets eat them we are all meat eaters why does it matter what meat we eat than? this is basically the conclusion, you gave out to me. If you can compare yourself to animals than be nature eat your kin instead of burring them, isnt that a waste of meat? it will only be eaten by insects. Why does everyone always considers themselves above every other specie, Dogs are more loyal than any other human you will ever find, they wont lie, steal rob murder you unlike humans do.They are there when you cry, they cheer you up, they cuddle with you, they love you more than they themselves, and humans love to hurt the innocent, that is why i dont care of a human dies anymore, because i know most of them deserve it.Sure enough humans will kill each other off and take everything with them, humans were given the power and they abuse it.

I agree for the most part. However, I personally love the pets I've owned. I would almost certainly eat a human I did not have emotional attachment to before I would eat a pet. Because to me, one who looks at the universe objectively, the life of a human has only subjective value, and in reality, taking any life is the equivalent to shattering an inexpensive vase. However, society works because we have rules and regulations. If someone asks me, I'm vocal about how a person is not of any more value than the worms and the dirt. You might think this is disgusting, and I understand why. I just would never use mortality to argue a point as subjective moral values are irrelevant.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05531711988661433794noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-88616011897424324732016-06-04T02:16:18.030-04:002016-06-04T02:16:18.030-04:00The first time I tried dog meat in Seoul, Korea, m...The first time I tried dog meat in Seoul, Korea, my Korean friend brought me to this restaurant that was very non-descript. The dog meat (it looked like it was roasted) was served on a square platter, cut in cubes with a small pile of rock salt at the side. It was supposed to be eaten by dipping the meat cube on the rock salt first before eating it. I have since forgotten what the name of this particular dish (or way of serving dog meat is).

I think there is NO argument that can be made for torturing dogs prior to eating them and anyone who does so is heartless. Period. I agree that eating dog is not much different than pig etc (since they all feel pain and suffer) Except humans and dogs have had a symbiotic relationship since cave man times. We are both essentially pack animals and a dog would die for you. Let me repeat that, A DOG WOULD DIE FOR YOU, and many do all the time in service, and therein lies the difference. So to anyone who beats a dog, who confines it to a small cage, who feels no remorse or empathy to an animal that only wants love and companionship, or anyone such as yourself who justifies such cruelty in the name of "culture" (the weakest excuse ever invented)....to use your own words... you can go fuck yourself.Heather Keyserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13838967031190023079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-54657142649266946422015-10-10T03:28:54.401-04:002015-10-10T03:28:54.401-04:00"in rural areas where people slaughter dogs t..."in rural areas where people slaughter dogs to cook and eat on their own, the common method is to hang the dog and beat it to death, in an attempt to tenderize the meat."<br /><br />My understanding is that they intentionally torture the animal to death for the mistaken belief it adds vitality and an aphrodisiac quality to the meat. Torturing is disgusting and immoral. I eat cows and pigs, and yes, many could and should be kept in much better conditions, but they are not intentionally tortured. They are quickly killed. When an American agribusiness is caught torturing or severely mistreating a cow, it make headlines and that company is subject to an enormous backlash from consumers.<br /><br />If Koreans quickly and humanely killed the dogs, I wouldn't say anything; I would respect the food choice. Who am I to say that eating an intelligent dog is worse than eating an intelligent pig? But torturing animals is sick and just plain wrong. From your post above, you don't really seem to realize that.<br /><br />I don't know if you'll accept my moral compass on the issue as I'm not Korean. So I'm happy there are animal rights organizations in Korea, such as KARA, that are working on the issue. I hope that they are successful and that younger Koreans who don't believe in torturing animals will change things there.Maggiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00421829697472481782noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-70612321777417553702015-09-26T09:24:27.281-04:002015-09-26T09:24:27.281-04:00I think approaching this issue from a rational per...I think approaching this issue from a rational perspective is the problem. Humans are as much emotional creatures as rational creatures. If I was a machine I could rationally justify a human farm as much as a dog farm. As a human I care about the things that have touched upon my life. It is not irrational for Americans to care about dogs because many Americans are dog owners. It is also not irrational for Koreans to care less about dogs because there are still generations of Koreans that understand what poverty and starvation mean. Maybe what we need to do as Westerners is stop forcing our values down other countries throats till we have some understanding of where they are coming from. As a Canadian I am against dog farms but as a Canadian married to a Korean wife I will respect my wife's right to make her own choices. For instance bottle water companies are suing Canada under NAFTA for billions of dollars because we refuse to give them access to our drinking water. I refuse to buy bottled water. My wife still buys bottled water. I don't agree with her choice but I respect her right to make it. Show some respect for Korea's right to choose their own path. They don't need an arrogant Westerners to point out the their problems for them, they are well aware of THEIR problems. In fact some of the problems that have taken us 150 years to make headway into they will probably have solved in the next 50 years.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12696884582372287516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-882285736249352062015-09-15T03:50:52.661-04:002015-09-15T03:50:52.661-04:00Dear Korean,

The counter-argument is that by killing a cow, you provide more meat for similar levels of suffering than you would for a dog, but then what about chickens? And then the counter-counter argument is that cows require more feed and thus agricultural killing per pound of meat, while dogs can be fed on waste (dogs can literally be fed on feces) and require less grain for survival.<br /><br />@The Korean:<br /><br />Try flexitarianism; it's pretty good because you don't have to give up on all meat, you can keep it as a special occasion food and try it 2-3 times a week, and you keep closer to our peasant ancestors, for which meat was a special luxury. It's not recommended for children or the infirm, of course, but I doubt you fit in either category. Vegetarianism, even if done occasionally, is an excellent austerity; the Chinese emperors would, before sacrificing to "Heaven", maintain 3 days of vegetarianism under the most excellent vegetarian cooking, to purify themselves. It's roughly abnormal for us to consume so much meat, we have obesity problems because we live in an age of surplus, so deliberately reducing the amount of meat we eat is both healthy and good for our personal discipline.Aspiranthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16730772046853286274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-57776676375984567702015-08-29T16:48:34.996-04:002015-08-29T16:48:34.996-04:00"False" Dog does not taste like goat mea..."False" Dog does not taste like goat meat or lamb it tastes similar to the bbq boneless spare ribs you get at the Chinese restaurants but 10 times better...my ex wife's family surprised me with it when I visited Viet NamI had no idea until my wife told me months later when got back to the U.S. It has the same texture and taste as I mentioned above.

Chickens have the intelligence of a 4-year old. And by the way, ALL mammals and (almost certainly) birds have the appropriate brain structures to be sentient and experience conscious emotions.<br /><br />"Such savage, inhumane slaughter is utterly shameful and disgusting.<br />Hanging?? electrocuting?? beating to death?? are you from hell?"<br /><br />Did you not read T.K.'s post? Firstly, electrocution is used as a humane slaughter for cows, pigs, etc. Secondly, he agrees that the way dogs are treated in Korea is abhorrent. He wants dogs to be raised and killed humanely, like is done with formally regulated livestock in Western countries. <br /><br />"Dogs are the friendliest creatures in the world. why eat them?? especially these days... It's barbaric..<br />Why not just eat other humans as well... or how about some rats... yum... "<br /><br />Rats can also be intelligent and friendly pets, too. They can be trained to do tricks. Yet do you know how people around the world treat them? They are electrocuted, poisoned and have them get stuck to a sticky board to die a slow death of starvation. This barely gets any attention from the media, though I believe they have way more merit from an animal welfare perspective than people who oppose dog meat. <br /><br />"I once fell in love with a korean girl... <br />it was the greatest experience of my life...<br />Until i realized the culture she came from...<br /><br />I've lost all respect..."<br /><br />I'm sure many xenophobic people around the world would think the same way about you, considering that the USA committed atrocities against Iraqis, Koreans and Vietnamese during various wars, expelled the Natives from their own land, as well as how veal calves and other factory farmed animals are treated across the country. sega31098https://www.blogger.com/profile/18157298514542743816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-37779387262088718212014-10-25T21:15:20.692-04:002014-10-25T21:15:20.692-04:00Cows are considered a motherly and sacred figure i...Cows are considered a motherly and sacred figure in India. <br />Oh wait...westerners eat cows all the time.<br />So now all westerners should fuck themselves and eat their mothers. <br />Mother burgers, mother steaks, mother nuggets, and BBQ mother!<br /><br />[BTW this is coming from a someone from the West so don't accuse me of hating Westerners!]sega31098https://www.blogger.com/profile/18157298514542743816noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36405856.post-46582949681246312022014-10-24T03:39:23.329-04:002014-10-24T03:39:23.329-04:00"Dogs are the only creatures that chose to be..."Dogs are the only creatures that chose to be domesticated."<br /><br />You are absolutely dead wrong. Dogs did NOT choose to be domesticated, they only exist because humans intervened in nature. They are selectively bred wolves and have been modified through artificial selection over generations. Many other animals have had this fate. Cows are selectively bred aurochs. Chicken are selectively bred fowl. None of them as a species deliberately chose to come stay with humans. <br /><br />And Japanese did eat dogs as late as the 20th century, as was done in many parts of the world. Americans did it too: At one point some Americans eat dog meat as they believed in some bogus claim that it would cure their TB, and it was also eaten in 20th century food shortages. Dog meat is not exclusively from the East: The West did it too. In Europe, dog meat was scattered across many countries, and it still persists in Switzerland. sega31098https://www.blogger.com/profile/18157298514542743816noreply@blogger.com
