| 4,368 | 2:47 pm PDT, Apr 14 | Mike James | United States | First of all, koreans dont torture the dogs that they eat. They just slaughter like cows n eat them. Second of all, the PETA videos you see of dogs, are from CHINA for the FUR trade. In these videos they torture the dogs and rip the fur off their live bodies because they believe it is better quality when they are live. So please dont badmouth koreans, badmouth chinese. Koreans are basically mongolians, and back in long time ago, dogs were available to eat. Dogs are companions yes, but they were originally put on the earth for consumption, until mad domesticated them. | |
| 4,367 | 2:44 pm PDT, Apr 14 | joe johnson | United States | K..first of all everyones logics are twisted. "dogs have feelings" So do cows,fish, chicken. If u dont want dogs to be eaten then go vegan. Second of all "dogs were created by god to be companions." So were every other animal. 3rd "Dogs are cute". Thats just your opinion. 4th dogs were not domesticated in the beginning. I think eating dogs are disgusting, but not wrong. So all you ignorant idiots should go vegan or stop complaining. | |

Stop the cruelty of dog meat eating in South Korea
Sir, I got news that Mr. Choi Han-Gwon, president of the Korean association which is promoting dog meat trading, announced to offer juice from dogmeat to the visitors of the FIFA World Cup, 31.May - 30.June 2002, in South Korea as an especially tasty specific Korean beverage. I ask you to prevent this mental abberation as well as eating dogmeat in general.
The World Cup is a good occasion to expose to the world the cultural values of South Korea but not to perform that horror show of cruelty. The dog breeding in special farms under unimaginable brutal conditions as well as the stealing of dogs out of loving families to sell the dog meat continues in South Korea. While the dogs are raised up and during slaughter they have to suffer pains and tortures which only sick brains are able to invent. The governmental statement which says that dogmeat was only eaten in times of poverty is refuted from the public announcement of Mr. Choi Han-Gwon. To enforce animal protection in your country it is necessary to forbid breeding dogs for meat and to trade with dog meat as well as private slaughter of dogs. And it is necessary to punish with high fines or even up to emprisonment. To let go on the nationwide cruelties against dogs hurts both, the tortured animals and the feelings and dignity of all honest and good-natured people in your country and everywhere in the world.
For more than 150 000 years (following the latest results of research) a manlike process of self domestication led from wolves to dogs living in that mixed symbiotic dog/man population which you can find everywhere on the globe. Our human development bases on this symbiosis in an unmeasurable degree. Therefore dogs are different from all other animals, even incomparable to other domestic animals. Their natural skills and voluntary services demand our respect, their social skills, their high level of conciousness and self-conciousness demand for responsability about their necessaries of life. Their confidence and love may make us ashamed.
A nation torturing its dogs may not be called civilized. Dog eating indicates a tormentor-minded and cannibalismlike ignorance about the long symbiotic history of dogs and mankind and its importance for the development of ancient societies and culture.
I am looking foreward to your answer.
