Despite orders from the government, nearly all restaurants serving dog meat in South Korea’s Pyeongchang County, where the Winter Olympics are being held starting Friday, will continue to sell the controversial dish.
Of the 12 restaurants serving dog meat dishes in the area, only two have complied with local authorities, who offered them subsidies in exchange for taking the item off the menu during the games, Channel News Asia reports.

Disgusting is right. But it is how these bastards savagely, inhumanely and slowly torture, for their various sick beliefs and ‘preparations prior to eating’ reasons, these poor Doggies to death that is beyond disgusting. (Look up how they go about their preparation ‘methods’ if you wish but but be warned). I don’t give even one of my old rips about those people. The satanic evil and Godless will be dealt with someday.
Years ago we spent a couple months in China (Guangdong province) where they eat dog, cat, rat, insects, reptiles, you name it, they sold it in the open air cafe.
It was hard to see crates of dogs and cats, knowing what their fate would be, but it was the culture. My son and I were in the upscale part of town and we had choices of restaurants, but my husband’s tech training was going on quite a few miles outside of town. There was a place he and his translator ate lunch (it was the only place) and the food was delicious, but when my husband would ask his interpretor what they were eating, the translator would say, “Don’t ask.”
So on his expense sheets to his company when he’d have to send in the receipts from that restaurant, we dubbed it “The Don’t Ask Cafe.” He didn’t die, never got sick the entire time, so even though we wouldn’t eat it as a preference, I’d just go with the adage “When in Rome....”
After all these years, the Makah tribe in Washington State is still hunting and eating whale meat, without regard for what Treaties has to say about it.
Those who think they can change Korean culture are barking up the wrong tree.
The transition would be too ruff on the locals.
What’s wrong with having a little Chow?
Do they do it like lobsters in a tank?
Yes, this one’s name is Oscar. He’s a 6 month old terrier with a sweet disposition so should be quite tender.
I can’t unsee some photos. Keeps me up at night. I adopt rescue dogs, donate to shelters, became a vegetarian but I should do more.
Dog lovers in the United States call this practice barbaric in other countries but it is legal to eat dog meat in 43 of the states in the U.S., and yes, it happens.
A bill has been introduced to Congress to “amend the Animal Welfare Act to prohibit the slaughter of dogs and cats for human consumption.” The bill known as H. R. 1406, which is also called the “Dog and Cat Meat Trade Prohibition Act of 2017” would ban the slaughtering of dogs and cats for meat as well as shipping, purchasing, or selling dogs to be killed for meat. Unfortunately, the penalty for violating the act would be relatively small and include “not more than 1 year, or a fine of not more than $2,500, or both.”
Tastes like chicken.
Chow down.
woof woof howllllllllllllll
what kind of dog is bred as meat animal?
Gives the dish Yorkshire Pudding a whole new twist.

Although actually any sort of dog ends up on the menu there.
Even former pets.
The real issue I have is that they beat them before they kill them. The adrinaline is supposed to act as an aphrodesiac.
I’d prefer to eat vegetarian instead. I draw the line with dogs, cats, rats, mice, insects.
It appears new rules are being passed. Not that it will stop it.

During the 1988 Seoul Summer Olympics, S. Korea closed down all of the roadside dog stands. Looks like it didn’t have any long lasting effect. Last I read, they eat 2.5 million dogs a year there.
It’s called “Korean Cuisine”...
ugh, it appears the new laws are directed towards the methods in which the dogs are killed. But, there’s no doubt they still have them on the menu.
