I really hate to telly you this, but in many cultures they eat their dogs, it was even done here at times too & when the grid falls here, in a few months time, we’ll be doin the same.

This is just a fact, it does not make it right, just a fact.

Couldn’t we just create a safe zone on the border of Korea, rather than have unfettered mass dog immigration???

No disagreement here.

But as long as I can, I will support my dogs in the style they are accustomed to!

Note that it is said, the English Polar (Scott) explorers perished because they would not eat their dogs, the Norwegian team had them on the menu from day one.

"One cannot calmly contemplate the murder of animals which possess such intelligence and individuality, which have frequently such endearing qualities, and which very possibly one has learnt to regard as friends and companions. Scott
