Hey, I wouldn't do it. But I have no LOGICAL argument against it ao long as the conditions I set above are followed.

Like I said, this thread deals with the concept of eating them. Not their abuse.

I can logically oppose their abuse. But I cannot logically oppose the CONCEPT of eating them.

very technical.. true. okay, back to the concept of eating them then!:disgust:

How is the "concept" of eating them bad? They're just any other animal, the only reason you find it disgusting is because they've been domesticated. This isn't the case in Korea, or atleast their culture has not developed the attachment. I agree trapping of other people's pets is completely wrong though.
 
You are presuming they are not pets in Korea, that dogs function there is that of food. Which brings up another point, how they consume these animals and then have them as pets? (assuming they do, as most of the world does use dogs as pets.

in all seriousness though, i must admit im curious where they would get these animals to eat here in the U.S. anyone know?

I'm planning a big feast next week j/k!
 
My step brother, who is half Korean on his mother's side and who spent the first year of his service in the US Army in Korea, said that they raise them and slaughter then like we do cattle.
 
okay, :disgust: gross,


but what about when they eat it here in the U.S.? Thats what I don't get.

My only argument against eating cat and dog is that we used evolution to change them into domesticated pets. We didnt breed them for food, we bred them to be pets. Its a rather cruel trick to eat them now.
 


And if they do that in their country, they shouldn't do it here. Especially if its a)illegal, and b) not something we would consider civilized. I would hate to think a Korean family enjoying a nice feast at the expense of the neighbors puppy.

well just like its wrong for you to steal your neighbor's cow, it's wrong for you to steal their dog. But a stray dog roaming the streets.....yuuummmy!

err that made some sense. Eating dogs is illegal in the U.S. it is WRONG. Especially if you're cooking it at the malls and presumably everyone got a taste.



Question remains, where the hell do they get 'em from?

what don't you get?

if you are discrete, you don't think someone can kill/BBQ a dog?

people transport and use all kinds of illegal drugs everyday, you don't think someone can answer an ad for a free dog and then have a BBQ?

what don't you get about it?
 
You think its one or two? I am assuming the consumption is far more than that.

No I don't think it would be easy to do it in this country.
And that ad for a free dog and then have a BBQ?

is just bad. I'm sure thats not the way. (hope)

I like how you generalize that Koreans get their feast from thy neighbor. Also, who says all (if any, actually) Korean Americans eat dogs? Your ignorance shines bright.

Eating the dogs as food is not illegal here, just certain ways of storing them is.

yes this is true.


also, jbaggins - youre acting like every korean eats dog. dog is a very risque and touchy subject - you say theres 4000 restaurants all across korea...thats not very many, its not like its a mc donalds around every corner.

anyway dog meat is usually only eaten by old men who have beliefs that it increases "some" sort of stamina. take that anyway you want.

yes we have dogs as pets, and the dogs that are butchered for the meat are raised like cattle and humanely put down. its not like we'd snatch the little poodle off the street that belonged to the little girl and eat it like the savages you view us.
 
I don't. and i respect your comment as you seem to be knowledgeable.

Not that I didn't believe my brother, but it's good to have his explanation confirmed by someone. The way he put it to me, the dogs they breed for slaughter are rather large and of no special breed or color. Most Americans immediately envision Lassie or Old Yeller on a dinner plate and can't fathom how someone could eat that.
