China & Korea's Dogs

I believe that this article, like many media outlets do, took a small occurance and exaggerated it. And like most trends, they usually do not last for long.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Is that a PETA ad?

>>pale skin was a sign of refinement and beauty, but I do not believe that is the case anymore.

It's still the case. The dark skin tends to expose the defects on the body (of Asians). Also dark skin is usually rough and light skin feels tender and soft.

In my church, there are a few men who met their current wives in the Phillipines while in military service. They are very happy couples and seem to get along really well.

What I think these men appreciate about their wives the most is that they do not complain a lot and are always grateful for everything that God has blessed them with. I mean, these two women came from nothing and are very happy to have seemingly simple things like carpet and a stove in their house. They also work very hard outside the house.

My skin is pretty dark and doesn't have any of the qualities you mentioned.

Typical American

Thanks, I always consider that a compliment given the world's present state of affairs. You'll probably find more "typical Americans" here than Asian apologists. What is it in the Asian culture that drives them eat companion animals, endangered species, and weird animal genitalia? I suppose you'd like to defend the Chinese killing of endangered Asian Black bears for their gall-bladders or harvesting poached rhinoceros penis for their "mystical" sexual qualities. Or maybe the African prelidiction for monkey and gorilla meat that has brought them such wonderful dieseases as AIDS(Green monkey), ebola(Lowland gorilla), and simian herpes(Kirsch family primates). But hey, it's their culture, who are we to criticize...no harm, no foul right?

The pigs you eat, by the way, make as good a pet as your little bull dog. And I would not worry about anyone wanting to eat you little bull dog anyhow. Too ugly

Haven't spent much time around domestic animals have you? A domestic swine can run a maze slighlty better than a lab rat and tends to make a poor companion animal. Don't spend too much time looking for a spark of intelligence in a pink porker's eyes, you won't find it. They have a nasty habit of eating garbage, truck bumpers, and their own young. As far as that little ugly dog of mine. He's a 90lb. pitbull and he's very sensitive, so be careful not to call him ugly within earshot.

The History of Dog & Cat Abuse in Korea

Korea - The Sadistic Country

From the above link.

First Hand Account Of The Method Of Killing Dogs
"The reason why dogs are beaten for so long is that there is a belief that the slower & more painful the death is, the more potent the dog's meat will be. Killing the dog slowly causes the dog's adrenaline to flow, & this flow of adrenaline throughout the dog is believed to increase the aphrodisiac power of the meat.

While the dog is slowly being killed, it is of course screaming in pain, and trying to resist the grip of the man doing the killing. One method is to tie the dog from his hind legs upside down. The man or men than beat the dog's body all over with clubs or bats. Beating it this way is said to do 2 things. One is to increase the flow of adrenalin and the other is to tenderize the meat.

While the dog is being beaten, it gets to the point where it urinates and defecates on itself, and the urine & feces typically flow down the dog's body, getting in it's eyes and causing more pain. Eventually, during this intensive beating, blood flows out of the dog's mouth and nose due to internal bleeding, and it finally dies.

The most common method is to hang the dog from its neck. The rope is slowly tightened and loosened to prolong the agony of the hanging while the dog is being tortured to death.

This beating process has no set time....It can be a few minutes or it can take an hour, depending on the man doing the killing and how much he is into the belief that beating it slowly is best for a quality aphrodisiac. Most times the dog is still alive while his fur is being blowtorched off.

I hope this clarifies why the dogs are beaten first. In a large facility, the dogs may not be hung by their neck or hind legs. Instead the man enters the large dog cage, selects the dog, grabs it, and while holding it by the neck, begins to beat it in the head in order to crush the skull."

I've had the same experience. Several of the men in my squadron (and wing as well) were married to Korean women or Filipinas, and they were very happy couples.

The people raising at eating dogs are not starving and would not otherwise starve, if they didn't eat dogs.

There are 4,000 restaurants in Seoul, South Korea serving dog to people affluent enough to afford to buy anything they wanted from the menu.

Most of these cruel and inhumane dregs of humanity are eating dog, because they want to, not because they need to.

Re-read the article. See if you catch the part, your second time through, where their punk kids are eating dogs, specifically, because the West, that supports and defends them, finds it offensive.

Sorry, but it galls me to receive a load of disingenuous crap like this from someone that has Jesus Christ in his screen name.

What a joke. Go pray that you'll be a little more honest in the future.

LOL.

"What is it in the Asian culture that drives them eat companion animals, endangered species, and weird animal genitalia?"

Are you aware of the many starving children in North and South Korea, among countless other Asian countries? Do you think they even care if meat is from a dog, cat, or cow over there, if they are STARVING?

You only think it's weird because you were brought up to believe that way. Animals are animals, and God never stated that some animals had more worth than others. Animals were put on this planet for humans to eat. Get over it.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

I was orphaned in South Korea, so you don't need to lecture me about the average person in Korea being affluent.

Why don't you go over there and visit the country some time before you pass judgement as if you've lived there your entire life.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

Last I heard, people need protein in their diets in order to stay healthy. The average person in Korea cannot afford beef or many of the other types of meat that people here in the West eat everyday. Eating dog and cat is their alternative to this problem.

You might also want to consider that people in Asian countries do not eat large quantities of meat, period. Things like rice and noodles are the main meal course for them, meat is usually a side dish, if eaten at all.

Are you a female, an Asian female?

[A.J.Armitage]

Well, your original point (that I was answering with that post) was that if dogs trusted people we wouldn't have guard dogs, and that there is no "breach of trust".

Not quite. Family pets, guard dogs, ect, trust and serve their owners, not humanity in general. I'm not a party to any agreement or contract with dogs.

We have not bred cows to have the same level of attachment to us... their personalities have not been nurtured to adore and seek our affection, and they don't perform work for us in the hope of gaining our approval.

We couldn't get cows to be like dogs if we wanted to. What dogs do is half genetic.

Our contract with cattle is "free food".... I think our contract with dogs is higher.

I don't think "we" have a contract with either dogs or cows. The alledged parties are to numerous, varied, ignorant of this supposed contract, and in the case of the animals, unable to think abstractly for any contract to exist.

You think it's possible to breed out thousands of years of a dog's loyalty and friendship to man in one or two generations.

You're mistaken. You, obviously, haven't taken much Biology.

The sad fact is that almost any of those dogs could be removed from those cages and turned into a loving pet right up until the moment they're dragged out and cruelly slaughtered by these dog-eating lowlife.

[HairOfTheDog]

and in the case of the animals, unable to think abstractly for any contract to exist.

Obviously mine is an abstract argument that your aren't able/willing to consider either. OK.

[FreedominJesusChrist]

"cruelly slaughtered by these dog-eating lowlife."

Why don't you go living in a generally poor country, experience the feeling of what starving is like, and then come back and lecture everyone else in here who is rational enough to understand that when one is STARVING, one also cannot be too choosy about what they eat.
