It seems that Japan is no better.

The next time you say that Korea is better than Japan, I'll sympathize ... but only because of the above link.

While we're on the subject of beating animals.

A boy comes down to breakfast. Since his family lives on a
farm, his mother asks if he has done his chores.
"Not yet," said the lad. His mother tells him no breakfast until he does his chores.

Well, he's a little angry, so he goes to feed the chickens, and he
kicks a chicken. He goes to feed the cows, and he kicks a cow. He goes
to feed the pigs, and he kicks a pig. He goes back in for breakfast and
his mother gives him a bowl of dry cereal.

"How come I don't get any eggs and bacon? Why don't I have any milk in
my cereal?" he asks.

"Well," his mother says, "I saw you kick a chicken, so you don't get
any eggs for a week. I saw you kick the pig, so you don't get any
bacon for a week either. I also saw you kick the cow, so for a week
you aren't getting any milk."

Just then, his father comes down for breakfast and kicks the cat halfway
across the kitchen.

The boy looks up at his mother with a smile, and says:
"Are you going to tell him, or should I ?"

I still have not seen any evidence presented here that Koreans beat or torture dogs before slaughtering and then eating them.

I've seen people make and restate the claim. I really have a hard time believing it. It's simply too cruel. And I think Koreans are a bit harsh, but not cruel like that.

So where is the evidence that Koreans beat or torture dogs before slaughtering and then eating them? (I saw the pics from the Korean Animal Protection Society. And I just saw slaughtering -- not beatings or torture. Saying that you are not comfortable seeing an animal you treat as a pet slaughtered is entirely understandable, but it is still not beating or torture.)

i do not agree with the eating of pets!!! i think it is a terrible practice!!
but i do realise that in korea..things like eating dog are the norm, just like us kiwis and aussies eating roast lamb (a lot of farm dwellers have pet lambs)

i could never eat dog/cat or anything like that even if i was starving!!

Last I recall, consuming dog meat was not illegal in canada. Actually I remember reading a report about a restaurant that offered it and was shut down. They sued the Gov. and as it turns out were allowed to serve dog meat - provided it was butchered according to canadian standards (which then meant no because there are no butcher shops willing to take that on in Canada).

I've just remembered some more evidence.

One of my students - female - claims to have witnessed a dog slaughter. This is why she hates Boshintang so much. The mere mention of it upsets her, as it does with many young girls and women.

But, because I'm an English teacher and felt it'd be good if she produced some spontaneous English about something she was emotional about, I asked her to describe what happened, the method of slaughter. Co-teacher helped with translations and co-teacher's English is very good.

The dog was hung by its hindlegs on a tree and beaten with a baseball bat. The dog was beaten to death, and then the fur was removed and so too the skin. Repulsed by that, I requested confirmation a few times that the dog was dead when de-furred and de-skinned and the answer was yes. However, co-teacher may have lied, not wanting to upset me. I have heard reports of dogs being beaten, burnt (get rid of fur) and skinned in that order, all of which while the dog is fully conscious. However, this just seems an overly and unnecessarily long process to me. Many slaughterers I suspect kill the dog first either by electriticity or beating (around the head) and then whack the flesh afterwards a bit.
