I will eat most things, but have a bit of a problem paying somebody to beat the crap out of a dog before slaughtering it.

Does anybody know if there are restaurants that sell dog meat that is not tortured before being killed?

---The beating of the dog is what makes the meat tender and delicious. I doubt that it would be possible to buy dog meat that has been prepared in a gentle manner.
Options:
1: Perhaps if you bought your own dog and took it to the dog butcher and watched him kill the dog and prepare the meat.
2: Kill the dog yourself (in the way that you think would be best).

You can get dogs that are not beaten at the same farm where you get humane foie gras.

Well a spanish guy actually managed that one: Geese naturally fatten up to get ready for migration, so he just tricked them with a few artificial light and temperature tricks, and got an excellent tasting foie gras.

I don't recall him mentioning anything about dogs though.

Is foie gras inhumane? They dealt with this on Penn Radio. One person commented at forced feeding time the ducks fought each other to be the first one to the spit. If they didn't like it...

Yep, I've seen it happen when I toured a foie gras farm during my semester abroad in France. I've been taking a lot of the cruelty to animals stories with a salt shaker ever since.

To get the dog's adrenaline levels up just play around with it until it's in a frenzy of excitement.

Then whack it.

There are places that electrocute them but I don't know how to differentiate them from the other places.

Wow! I didn't know Koreans like it tenderized before killing it. Shocked

I'm used to the other way around, kill it and tenderize it.

He/She's not a whacko for saying that.

I know the adrenaline rush is a big part of the meat's taste. But you can get dogs excited without pain, as another poster above suggested.

A fitting transfer to illustrate awalk's point would be like advising crooked hagwon owners to shut off their ESL teachers' gas in winter for no reason, move them into all-night partyers' residences so they can't sleep, dock their pay periodically, tell them their pay and performance are directly related then play *good*teacher/BAD TEACHER!! with them on and off for a few months, while feeding them bad kimchi and fatty cheeseburgers all the time, writing things like 'not paying attention tax' in Hangeul on their paystubs, wave Korean booty in front of them just before physically assaulting them and then firing them in their twelfth month, to suitably prepare them for quitting without having to pay that annoying contract bonus. Oh yeah and paying thugs to jump and pound them before chucking them on the bus back to the airport.

They sure wouldn't be in for their bonus after that. But is it necessary?

Okay it's not a good transfer but it made me feel better to think about someone doing that to all the patrons of this culinary practice.

We seem to be out of cycle here. I thought it was "Western women vs. Korean women" time.
