Whether you care or not about the eating of dogs in Korea, it is apparent that some Koreans are against it.

It took me a while to overcome my thinking that all dogs are pets and therefore shouldn't be eaten. Now, I can accept that some Koreans eat dogs despite the fact that I continue to refuse to do so myself. However, what I can't stomach is the method that dogs are killed by to prepare them for boshingtong. I don't care what the animal is, beating it to death with sticks to tenderize the meat is cruel. So, I was glad to see that the younger generation of Koreans is turning away from the practice.

Yeah, usually when some Hollywood star calls Koreans a bunch of dog-eaters, it's the non-dog-eaters who get mad about it.

I'm sickened by the way dogs are killed here, but actually I'm more sickened with some practices how cows are raised, particularly how they feed dead cows back to the cows, essentially making them into cannibals.

Do we know all dogs killed for consumption are being beaten to death?

Some enterprising Korean needs to open an Organic/Cruelty Free Boshingtang restaurant. The hippies would be all over that.

They eat dogs in China too. When I lived there I'd write my shopping list in Mandarin and give the list to my chinese housekeeper. She failed to return without my pork one day and when I asked her why, she said there wasn't enough money to buy dog(The written work for pork can become dog if it isnt written up carefully). We always saw the dogs hanging in the marketplace but never entertained the notion of buying one.

As I understand it dogs are killed by pouring boiling water over them(while alive) to preserve something that the Chinese find appealing(??). NZ was in an uproar once due to Chinese showing big interest in St. Bernard puppies for export when it was discovered what they(the puppies) would eventually become.

The biggest nation of dog-eaters in history was, interestingly, the Aztec Empire. Dog-eating appears mostly as a "last resort" for cultures that don't have enough large mammals around to sustain their protein needs.

The real question is, Why is it a last resort? Dogs are nearly ubiquitous in human culture and have been for all of recorded history. In all likelihood, people rarely eat them because dogs have adapted themselves to the "pet/companion" niche so well that we really hate to do it. Most of us, that is.

Sindang Station in seoul, just on the 2 line. Exit one. Walk out, turn around when you get out and go down the alley that sells all kinds of metal pots and kitchen ware. Go straight and you will see some dogs and big ducks in cages.

It's better to go early in the morning when there arent many people out there. If you hang out there too long, someone will get mad and tell you to leave, but you might get to hear some pretty brutal dog murdering. I got to hear it and I stumbled upon it by accident. Not a pleasant sound.

OP, what kind of user name is that?

[Chris Kwon]

How is that legal to beat a dog to death???

I hate animal cruelty

[The Bobster]

Damn, I was just about to start one more thread about dog soup just because I figured a couple of weeks had passed since the last one ... gotta be quicker, I guess.

The link in the OP isn't working for me. Anyone feel like clipboarding the text?
