  1. Listen to these hypocrites eating tortured cows and pigs…๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

  2. Two reasons why some old Koreans still eat dog meat. Geography and the Korean War. Korea's terrain is mountainous, so sheep, pigs, and cows have always been more valuable than dogs. The Korean War also caused dog meat to become widespread food among people. Silk worms are also a post-war food. Korea's top export was silk 1950s, so they ate silk worms. But, in traditional Korean culture, Korea didn't eat dogs, and was not normal food. I mean, it's not like they didn't eat dogs at all, They probably would ate dogs when they were very poor. lol.

  4. I'm a dualist on this one…

    I lived in Korea for a while, and was told a couple things about this subject that I personally believes crosses an ethical line even with those of us meat-eaters and hunters.
    I won't judge, because truthfully I believe we've done quite a bit of harm to the world already and should take a deep breath before we condemn.
    When I lived there I would hike up over a small mountain ever other day and descend next to a puppy farm.
    I knew what it was. Poor pups barked at me like any other stranger.

  5. I don't know, but the culture of eating dog meat in Korea has almost disappeared. 99.9% of Koreans don't eat it

  6. Barbarism hidden in the splendor of Kpop

  7. I work for Los Angeles County and i had a Korean coworker right me up because i was on the computer and a video of a restaurant showed a b4/after photo of a dish that they prepared of dog meat and i had a visceral response "ugh" chile she went O-F-F yelling i was being insensitive and that they eat dog meat especially in the summer to maintain a cool body temperature etc etc i apologized because i had no idea that other countries eat dog meat she wrote me up anyway…HR did absolutely nothing didn't even bother to call me in.๐Ÿ˜ฎ

  8. Disgusting. ๐Ÿคข๐Ÿคฎ

  9. And I thought it was a joke growing up ๐Ÿ˜‚

  10. This is why I would never consider buying a Kia or Hyundai or knowingly buy any other Korean product!

  11. aw, they would do that here in America chanting "We Love Our Hot Dogs!"

  12. Now we now where all these diseases come from not just china

  13. obviously anyone who opposes eating dogs but eats other animals such as cows, pigs, and chickens is a hypocrite. but they need to regulate the dog farms better so as to not cause the dogs unnecessary harm and improve their conditions, just like we have laws that say you must treat your farm animals to a certain standard.

  14. I always wondered why there were so many Koreans in Vietnam. That's when it occurred to me that dog meat is actually a luxury food and they come here to get it cheaper than Korea. These people literally drive the whole dog trade in Vietnam because the locals are too poor for dog meat. Fking Koreans man.

  15. This is still a thing?.? Why dog meat??? Dog is manโ€™s best friend??? I want this NIGHTMARE to STOP !!!

  16. Dog's today pigs tomorrow the vegan movement is slowly winning world wide

  17. The Bible forbids the consumption of dogs. Try pointing that out.
