Hindus think we are horrible to eat the sacred cows. Other countries can't imagine why we would eat a filthy pig (although they are very clean), some parts of Mexico they eat dog.

But no matter your perspective or your wartime background to just throw out "they eat dog" is blanketing the entire race without qualification and therefore, yes offensive.
I was born during the Korean War and spent my first year in a Korean orphanage in Seoul. I have my own perspective.
Oh yeah, my brother's wife is a police detective in Seoul, between the two of them they have three cats and the one dog, my brother says that they are all too small to make a meal and one would not waste their time on just appetizers..... |
I agree with you, I should have said that a percentage of the general population eat Dog meat. But it was also a true statement to say that tyey eat dog. Semantics. Not meaning to offend anyone.
I hont hogs and I can attest that they are smart, especially the larger older ones. That is how they got to be large!
