| Dog Meat Farm in Korea dog meat.jpg SAVE AURORA!!! A typical dog meat farm in Korea. Dogs are fed few times/per week with rotten food waste. No water is given even in the hot summer! These intelligent dogs are kept in this tiny wire cages in their short miserable lives...they don't even know what it feels like to walk on ground!!!:-(((((( |

| I'm gonna play devil's advocate here. This is how PETA sees all us meat eaters. Do you eat cows, chickens, veal, lamb, goat, pigs, rabbits, deer, duck, guinea pig, etc? All these animals can and be seen as pets. In this society we just see dogs as man's best friend. They see dogs as delicious meat like we do chicken wings and burgers. Ps. I would never eat dog and personally think it's appalling bc I am American. I'm just saying...

| Dogs have been used as a food source in Korea for centuries, mostly among the older population. That doesn't condone their mistreatment however. |

| Looks like a typical chicken farm in the US. They just see dogs as a food source. The abuse doesn't seem much different.

| I can't click on that image right now. It is just more than I can deal with today. It is unthinkable that bright, intelligent, often prescient animals with feelings and purposeful, significant roles in life to play out are killed and eaten!

| I think it's terrible! And maybe it's me being hypocritical, but sorry, I don't feel the same compassion for a chicken as a I do for a dog. Domesticated animals are different IMO. However that doesn't mean I don't try to purchase meat from humane farms, I do try, but I also don't think about it too terribly much. But I think eating domesticated animals is just gross and wrong on all levels; and I'd fight much more to shut down a dog farm than a chicken farm. Dogs have been domesticated for thousands of years. It's why I don't eat pig very much - because I think they are super smart, and cute, and can be great pets, so I don't like eating them.

| It is awful to eat a domesticated animal like a dog. It is definitely different than eating a chicken that is raised for consumption. Eating a dog is cruel and unnecessary. There are plenty of other things to eat than a domesticated animal. Its not a necessity

| I think for many the difference is "companion animals" vs "domesticated" because most of the livestock we have in the US are still considered domesticated animals. Dogs along with horses are considered "companion" (domesticated just like cattle, sheep, pigs, and horses, but a companion) animals and not eaten. (as a rule because just like the dogs in the pictures, I know horse meat is in high demand in other countries and it makes me just as ill to think about eating horse meat.)

| It's all about what different cultures find acceptable I suppose. |

| this actually looks much better than most of the factory farms that 90% of our food comes from. it's easy for us to look at other cultures and be horrified, but i bet a good portion of us don't actually know the torture that went into the hamburger, porkchop, etc that we are eatting here. dogs, cows, pigs...they are ALL domesticated. Cows are extemely gentle, loving animals. pigs are known to be highly intelligent...as much so or more than many dogs... no, i don't think eatting dog is right. especially when they are raised in these conditions. but the conditions in ALL factory farms in our back yards are full of unnecissary tourter, disease and suffering. |

| They believe the more horrific the death / torture the more tender the meat so the dogs are tortured before they finally meet their death. This is an Asian belief. Factory farm animals suffer as well and can actually make nice companion animals. The difference is culture. In some cultures to the Asians earring dog and cat is as normal as us shopping for chicken, beef or pork. Myself I eat no beef or pork. Mostly turkey or chicken but very little. I find meat of any kind disgusting. Animals can be raised and slaughtered humanely for food but in order to keep it efficient to save money and time most times their treatment and death is done in humanely. I think WE all as a whole are responsible for the way our food sources are treated. Be a smart consumer and buy only from farms known for humanity. It takes some work but they are out there. A little more expensive but worth it in the end. |
