South Korean dog meat farmers push back against growing moves to outlaw their industry

Why does eating dog meat bother meat eaters? What's the difference between one animal and another?

Outlawing the dog meat industry is a step in the right direction.

Outlawing just the dog meat industry instead of all meat industry is hypocritical.

We eat bambi, its our tradition. If they want to eat yellow dog (Nureongi) I say all the power to them.

Thank goodness for these "animal lovers" that are okay with killing and eating more than 10 land animals per year + god knows how many sea creatures. But hey, they bought some incestuous pure breed dog from a breeder for thousands of euros so they can pretend they care.

Let them have their dog meat as long as it's sanitary.

What's the problem?

Dog meat consumption is a centuries-old practice on the Korean Peninsula and has long been viewed as a source of stamina on hot summer days. It's neither explicitly banned nor legalized in South Korea, but more and more people want it prohibited. There's increasing public awareness of animal rights and worries about South Korea’s international image.

People just have different tolerance for how much death is caused by their own existence, your gonna kill something regardless to survive, that is life. I am not really to judge, especially a culture that I have very little interaction with.
