So this form of animal cruelty appeals to you kaizer?
Obviously, you are one without a conscience.

What does "deal with it" mean?

Accept it, close your eyes and wash your hands of it thinking "there's nothing I can do."...?

Or "deal with it", like stop being apathetic towards just causes and try to make even a little difference when injustice rears it's head?

Hey, I'm no fan of cow hugging PETA people either, but they represent the one extreme, and it's best not to listen to the radicals; they never present a complete story.

I also am not against meat, but at least we could afford the animal as quick a death as possible. That sounds reasonable; no need to torture them. I am not being anthropomorphic here, but it's pretty clear that animals feel pain and don't enjoy it; they cry just like people do.

Yes and before civilization cruelty just existed.......now we have societal norms just so every butt sucking a$$ can feel so pleased that it is his god given right to say:

"animal cruelty exists everywhere. deal with it..."

Beating the dog to produce adrenaline for "sexual energy" is just plain wrong whatever way you look at it.

Eating humanely killed dog is fine by me.

Does anyone here eat pork? Has anyone ever been to a pork slaughterhouse? Pigs are very intelligent animals, have a keen sense of smell, and tell something is going down. They often have to be driven into the execution chamber with electric prods.

That said, it would be just plain smart for Koreans to figure out a more humane method of killing dogs. Perhaps they could zap them with enough electricity to knock them out but not kill them before they started beating away?

The adrenaline part is interesting. With most livestock the quality of the meat can be greatly lowered if the animal has undergone considerable stress just before death. Why would the reverse be true with dogs?

I think the video is showing images that aren't that relevant anymore.

Talking to adult Koreans in different conversation classes about the issue, I hear that the practice of beating, or torture of the dog beofre slaughter was pretty much abandoned around the time of the Seoul Olympics.

Mindful of world opinion there was an information campaign and a ban on eating dogs. Talking to expats who've been around for a while, they tell me that they used to hear dogs howling in pain back in the day, but not anymore.

Even in the small towns in conservative Gangwon-do that I used to visit, there are only a few dog restauraunts, and they are very low key. Koreans I've encountered are semi-ashamed of their dog eating status, but to me, as I tell them, eating dog is fine - just don't be torturing them to do it.

Wow kaizer, you act like I personally attacked you. Get a grip human.
You have got my vague attention. So, I'm guessing you didn't like the clip?
Which part did you not like? Or did you so enjoy it?
Every Asian country is not claiming to be advance, civilized or global are they?

You don't know me. Yet, I wonder about you. Are you really a grad?
I have found that true graduates are more open minded and less critical of individuals. Do you understand? Or should i rephrase that?

go back to your dog loving country waygook

Hmmm.. where exactly do you think I am keizar?
Is it an unwritten rule that posters must be in Korea?

What's the real problem k? Laughing
Please, for my benefit, say something intelligent instead of a one liner.

Thanks! Cool

The use of shock value images to gain public opinion is unfair. I could show you some pretty grisly open-heart surgery operations, and then tell you "Medical science is unnatural." If an image is enough to sway your convictions, you didn't have convictions in the first place.

Apples and oranges. Humans give consent to surgery and at least hope to come out of it alive, preferably with some improvement. Hardly the same as animal slaughter.
