Two things stood out in that article. The first being the dreadful pun in the opening sentence, and the second was this gem:
"This is making our country an international laughing stock.."
I've been saying that for years.. |

I'm still trying to understand the reasoning for all the hoopla.
Eat it because it is a delicacy or because there is nothing else to eat?
If it is a delicacy, why let some animal activists stop it? If it is because there was nothing else to eat why not ban the practice altogether? |

I was thinking that there were so many puns that were not used!
"We couldn't possibly go on with the plan due to endless phone calls of complaint, hounding us..."
"the organizers rolled-over"
"dog soup, or Boshintang, is a delicacy enjoyed during the dog days of summer" |
