I am saddend by this culture BUT I think they have a right to their culture EVEN when we don't agree with it. Korea is not the only one with this culture. They also eat dog in Indoneisia. My dad worked over there for a while and he has a dog that he "resuced". He found her hanging (still alive) with part of her tail cut off. They were bleeding the puppy. Supposidly it makes the meat tender. Anyway my dad grabbed the dog and ran. He told a bunch of his buddies who went and "resued" the rest of the litter. This poor family went without dinner that night. So I totally understand. I just think they have a right to their culture. (If I were in my dad's shoes, I would've grabbed the dog and ran too.)
