Dog Meat Lovers Face 80-Million-Won Lawsuit

[Rumpltzer]

Found in the Korea Times

Cliff's Notes:
1) Three guys in Korea eat their employer's dog
2) Dog has pedigree with five generations of authenticated purebred heritage
3) Dog is worth US$60-70K
4) Police are unable to arrest men?



Text for the lazy:

Three dog meat lovers are facing an 80-million-won (US$70,000) lawsuit after cooking and eating their employer?s pedigree dog.

On Sunday, the three men in their 50s who work at a rental car shop in Seoul took their employer?s two-year-old Chindo dog to a nearby valley, killed her and ate her.

The owner of the dog, identified as Lee, 62, discovered his dog missing from the parking lot where she was normally tied up and could see only blood. Lee then remembered the three had often joked about serving up the dog for dinner, and reported the matter to the police.

However, his employees had already eaten the dog in a traditional Korean dog soup, or posintang.

To the dog-devourers? shock, the dog was found to be a thoroughbred Chindo with five generations of purebred heritage authenticated by a national organization.

``I raised Chanmi (the dog?s name) like my own child, and put her there for breeding,?? Lee cried out.

``Chanmi is the best even among thoroughbreds. I thought her price may be around 10 million won, but when I asked after her death, the Korean Chindo Dog Association estimated her to be worth 70-80 million won,?? Lee insisted.

The police sought an arrest warrant for the three, but it was rejected. However, Lee said he would file a civil suit to get the money back.

If I owned a $70,000 dog I wouldn't leave it tied up outside.

Anyone else not sure how to feel about the practice of eating dog? I mean I know in parts of the world animals we eat or disdain, notably rats, cows, and pigs, are held in high esteem... but how can you kill & eat a dog? 🙁

Usually the dogs that they eat are different than the ones that people keep in the home. The dogs that they eat are raised like cows, there not things that people keep as pets. But WTF is up with them taking their employers dog and than eating it. That is not a joke.

Was pure Jindo heritage. I still don't know how it's worth so much though. I don't think any dog is worth that much.

Before people jump the gun, he's right. I'm Korean and we don't go around grabbing dogs and eating them. Korean farmers breed coyote-type wild dogs that are good for meat. So please stop the stupid nonsense about us eating any random dogs.

The fact that they stole the man's dog and killed it wasn't enough to arrest them?

I don't agree with eating animals like dogs and cats. They don't fall into the "livestock" category like cows, pigs, etc.

Certain animals were put here for certain things, and IMO, dogs were not put here to eat. They are here for companionship and service.
Really, does anyone know of a cow that has been trained to moo when it needs to go outside to take a crap? Or pick up your paper?

Who are you to decide what humans should eat and not eat?

Nice try at sounding smart, Darwin.

If it was stupid nonsense I'd namecall and such due to cultural ignorance. I stated that I'm not sure how to feel about it and wondered how others in the US (which most of AT is) feel, even gave examples where it's the same thing in reverse.

I said IMO, asswipe. Try reading AND comprehending at the same time, it helps you not look like an ass.

No. Pigs should no more be considered livestock than dogs, but for some reason, they are.

igs are smarter than any other domestic animal. They are considered by animal experts to be more than twice as smart as cats and dogs, and infinitely more trainable. In France, they are trained to harvest truffles, which grow underground, sniffing them out with their keen sense of smell. Pigs have been used as guide animals for the blind and one smart pig even saved his owner from dying of a heart attack. One day, the usually tranquil pig ran squealing out into the neighbors yard, and when they chased him back into his house, they found his owner collapsed on the floor. The paramedics were called, and the man survived.

I know where your'e coming from Gurck. In America we've grown up with certain beliefs. In India for example, IIRC Cows are held in high regard and is forbidden to be killed+eaten. (Hinduism I believe.)

In Korea, long ago when it was a poor country, no one could afford cows or pigs so they bred dogs as 'livestock.' Most Americans are disgusted by the notion of eating "dogs" but in reality, they were a food source for a famished, poor population.

Cats don't do that either. And pigs are quite intelligent animals.

Pigs also make GREAT pets (the small kind). I read an article how they are very very smart in some aspects.

Crazy price even for an expensive country like S.Korea. Unless maybe the pooch craps gold laced with platinum or somesuch.

 

[dalkom426]

I'm Korean and I've never eaten dog meat (never will). What the three men did was just horrible...the employer must've done something to piss them off so much that they would steal his Jindo dog & eat it (since Jindo dogs are supposed to be protected as a national treasure)...but it still doesn't justify their act and I don't understand why the men weren't arrested. Maybe I'm too Americanized...

WTF did you post this? Anyone who thinks eating a dog is ok is simply a moron. It isn't a cultural difference, it is a difference of being an ass or being someone with a brain.

right... I suppose you are a vegetarian? :roll:

It's just an animal. We eat pigs and cows and chickens and stuff. Rednecks eat lizards and snakes. Indians don't eat pork.
