How much are the degenerate, South Korean, sex-addicts paying to try to increase their sexual potency, with boiled alive and blow-torched dog meat, in South Korea?
I ask, because some might see the Chinese prices you quoted as a deliberate attempt, on your part, to imply that the cost would be the same in South Korea.
You're not trying to do that, are you?
I don't know the prices for dog meat in Korea because I haven't done the research on that part yet. I believe facts. I do know dog meat is much more popular in Korea than in China, so I can reasonably assume that dog meat may not be more expensive than beef or seafood there. The demand-supply curve of economics tells us the price goes down when you can sell more.
"Casual eating en masse proves popular as locals and foreigners stretch the early evening hours. The easily adjoining tables, large menus and low prices of bia hois (beer halls) make these Hanoi institutions popular places for large groups. A few places currently en vogue include Quan Bia Minh, Bia Hoi Dai Nam, Cua Hang Bac Nam Bia Hoi and 60 Ly Thuong Kiet Street. For a truly Vietnamese gastronomical experience, assemble a group for a "dogs dinner" at Anh Tu Thit Cho Restaurant. As dog is the only option there, vegetarians might want to try Com Chay Nang Tam Vegetarian Restaurant and meet up with their carnivorous friends later."
If they tried to come into my yard, my Rotty might just decide to have THEM for lunch... :)
Noooooooooooooo! It is printed on all travel guides as #1 tourist attraction in Korea (both North and South).
Not sure about beef, but pork and chicken, both of which are plentiful, are cheaper than dog meat. As far as that $800 figure, the article wasn't clear if that was in relation to dogs shipped to Korea from the US for breeding purposes, but I'd think that's what they meant.
We don't mistreat and torture animals before slaughtering them. Cattle aren't hung upside down and slowly tortured to death to make the meat tastier, or to improve it's effects on virility. The torture of these animals is what is indefensible. No matter how you look at it, this is just plain wrong.
That gives Islam a leg up across the third world, for the latter forbids dog and pig meat as food.
So God was wrong when He gave us dominion over the animals & Christ freed us from the law (works of man without faith / legalism)? -
Sounds like sex is a shame or sin to you. Sex is an inalienable part of joy of life. Asians don't believe western medicines because they tend to cause side effects and literally use up your potential of the whole life. They believe natual, heahth food, like ginseng, deer blood, pigion eggs, sparrow meat, and of course tiger penis which is absolutely illegal in China now. Ants works great too.
Maybe dogmeat, humanely dispatched -the brits did it in WW2 when there was little to eat
I remember horsemeat for sale as a young man at the grocery during beef shortages in the 70's here in the states. It had vividly orange fat.
But - the french like it, so thats reason enough for me to hate it
As for cat, why bother? - high feed/low yield ratio
Yes, they are plentiful becasue of the huge demand, but I dont know if the wholesale prices of raw prok and chicken are cheaper than that of dog meat since dog meat is not considered decent food. Economics works here. It all depends on demand and supply.
World Cup 2002 What IDA is doing "Dr. Dogmeat" Muzzled! |

In Defense of Animals (IDA) has learned that two million South Korean dogs are electrocuted, strangled, or bludgeoned to death each year. Then they're boiled, skinned, browned by a torch, chopped up and eaten. All of this cruelty and suffering is enough to make you sick. Where do the dogs come from? The tragic reality is that authorities are turning a blind eye to this outrageous bloodbath ... even though Korean law forbids the sale and consumption of dog meat. Even though the country's Animal Protection Law considers dogs to be "domestic pets." Let me assure you the eating of dog meat isn't based on any deeply rooted Korean tradition. Koreans have only eaten dogs when poverty has been widespread, as was the case during World War II. Even in those hard times, dogs were treated as companion animals. Now, however -- with the unspoken blessing of the government, greedy, unscrupulous dog traders in South Korea promote the myth that canine meat increases male sexual prowess and general health. This illegal industry has organized itself well. It bribes government officials and police ... hires thugs to intimidate animal welfare campaigners ... and induces newspapers to extol the "virtues" of dog meat. And although the vast majority of Koreans don't eat dog meat, official figures indicate there are at least 6,484 stores nationwide dealing in this horrific trade. It's inconceivable to me that a being we consider "mans best friend" could be so brutally killed, skinned, and butchered.
The fate of the innocent...
In spite of a 1991 law which prohibits the human consumption of dogs and cats, a flourishing industry exists within the markets of Korea. Illegal and unsanitary dog farms are hidden away in the countryside where breeders raise their stock for the butchers. |
