Application of some sort of equal protection law, if Korea has such a law, could pave the way for compulsory vegitarianism.

The French don't torture the horses to death to enhance the flavor.

You’re an expert in the French method of equine meat-packing? I’ve never met one of those before. Fill our ears with knowledge.

Torturing and eating dogs is truly sick, twisted and cruel.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horse_slaughter

They use stun or bolt guns like with cattle.

Not hang or skin or burn alive like the Koreans with dogs.

The only people who need to be shot are the monsters who torture and slaughter dogs and eat them.That is inhuman.

Anyone who can torture, kill and eat dogs doesn’t qualify as a human being. Damn the Koreans who participate in such cruelty.
