Just came across this video on eating dogs in Korea that really made me sick. It's really disturbing, just to warn you, since they really didn't hold back on what they showed. There's dogs being tortured, cut up, skinned, killed etc


If you're too lazy or short on time to watch the video, it basically shows how:
  • Dog meat is part of traditional cuisine in China, Korea and other parts of Asia, remote parts of Switzerland, and some parts of Africa. Despite stereotyping, the majority of the asian population does not eat dogs.
  • It can serve as meat for those who otherwise wouldn't have access to meat or proper nutrition otherwise
  • Some traditionalists believe that it has healing properties
  • The conditions of the dogs on farms are not good (at least in the farm shown in the video)
  • Some dogs are boiled until nearly liquified so that they make a broth
  • It is believed that torturing a dog before killing it makes it taste better


So any thoughts?

Personally, I want to kick the guy who's snipping that dog's tail, and I was overall disgusted by what they did to the dogs, but I don't know if I can say what we do is any better, since we're pretty much doing the same thing (farming and eating animals) it's just that we don't do it to dogs. I'm not sure if dogs are so ecpail to us because we keep them as pets, or if it's the other way around :-/.


EDIT: I forgot to mention, there's also a debate about whether it should be legalized or not since legalizing it would mean there would be regulations about how the dogs are treated and killed, but then again it would also mean legalizing it and saying it's legit.


*I did a quick search and saw dog meat was mentioned in the beanbag activism thread, but I don't know if it was really gone into in-depth or not.

it's a belief in asia that if you torture the meat before you kill it it releases adrenaline/endorphins into the meat and makes it tastier.

That’s right, you have the young gaming with the old(er), white people gaming with black people, men and women, Asian countries gaming with the EU, North Americans gaming with South Americans. Much like world sporting events like the Wolrd Cup, or the Olympics will bring together different nations in friendly competition, (note the recent Asian Cup; Iraq vs. Saudi Arabia, no violence there) we come together. The differences being, we are not divided by our nationalities and we do it 24-7, and on a personal level.

We are a community without borders and without colours, the spirit and diversity of the gaming community is one that should be looked up to, a spirit and diversity other groups should strive toward.

BRrrumm bum well people already know my opinions on this stuff, and it's really unpleasant to actually argue about it cos it's just I DON'T CARE vs WELL YOU SHOULD over and over.

I have read about some east asians kind of being ashamed of this stereotype of their eating habits though, like they think it makes them come off as uncivilized. I don't think that many people eat dogs these days because of that, or at least alot less than there used to be.

I haven't watched the video yet, but I might get around to in at some point in the next couple days. It's 20 mins so maybe I'll watch it when I'm eating dinner just so I can imagine eating those sweet puppies while I'm actually dining on yucky quorn fungus.

i think smithfield had a CAFO in china back in the 90s and they caught literally entire sections of the factory where the workers' job was nothing but SKIN THIS ANIMAL ALIVE or POKE ITS EYES OUT etc. i don't think it was smithfield order or whatever but the regional managers/employees thought it was making their meat high quality. animal cruelty sucks

Honestly legalizing it would remove the one element that makes eating a dog so bad, the torturing it to make it taste better scenario that puts a black mark on it. Unfortunently the way we treat baby cows to make lean whatever it's called isn't any better. Or basically any other animal in similar situations not to mention industrial farms.
A tool is a tool regardless. I mean if you suck, you suck, and not even the most perfect tool could save you. And if your damn good then even with the worst tool ever conceived you could chug out some high quality shit.

I think I went on youtubes one day and saw all the tortured animal videos with like racoons being beaten onto the ground skinned a live and dogs and stuff. How is that stuff on youtubes? no nudity, no popular tv shows, no human death, but disturbing animal torture ok

i bet it tastes bad.

like rolleyes at the concerns of TEH PUPPIES when jesus christ you dont need to be dok to be actively nauseated at how we treat actual domesticated animals here but i bet dog tastes like shit. like marbling is usually indicative of good red meat, which I assume dog is, and then you'd have to start breeding dogs to taste good and have more fat content and then it's like why bother? so forget you korea just legalize it no one probably wants it anyways that isn't already fucked on food.

how does TORTURE MAKES ANIMAL TASTE BETTER even develop as an idea though? like where's that even ARISE from?
