    Contraversial take here but why should we restrict people eating dog. We should absolutly pass laws that ensure all animals raised for slaughter be given a proper respectfull non-cruel life but why limmit the species? Is it an argument because of intellegence? If so then pork should be equally restricted? Is it a food safety restriction? Im failing to see any reason here. Please enlighten me.

      Do you own a dog? Here’s the process: I’ve seen, and very unfortunately heard the unforgettable sounds of many dogs being tortured in northern Vietnam, where they say the adrenaline softens the meat. They were hanging them by their tails on a rope then freaking them out right before slitting their throats. If you provide your pets that can be done to them.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    Earlier this month, government and ruling party officials agreed to introduce legislation by the year’s end that would ban the centuries-old practice.

    Individual lawmakers have submitted similar anti-dog meat bills in the past, but this would be the first time for the government to back such legislation.

    A shoving match between some protesters and police occurred, with some farmers rushing to a street when a truck, apparently carrying dogs, approached.

    It would provide financial support to farmers for dismantling their facilities and opening new businesses and offer vocational training and other benefits.

    “To have a government-backed bill with the political will behind it to see it passed swiftly is a highly significant milestone, a point we have never reached before in this campaign to phase out this abusive industry,” the anti-animal cruelty group Humane Society International’s Korea office said in written responses to questions from The Associated Press.

    The anti-dog meat campaign in South Korea recently gathered new momentum as first lady Kim Keon Hee, a pet lover, repeatedly voiced her support for a ban.
