I watched a programme on BBC World today about the sale of dog meat in South Korea.

I wouldn't eat a dog... I choose not to eat meat.
eta - this has been changed to an attachment following complaints
To add... There's no need for that photograph nor did I want to see it. Your sick to have actually searched for this.
However the way the dogs are treated in countries such as Korea that do eat dogs would stop prevent me from eating them.
I don't get screamish abouteating meat. If it's and edible meat that won't make you ill then why not? If you happy eating cattle why not a dog.
I didnt it was in my photobucket account. Anyway, never been to a butcher shop?
I'm sick so i'll do a search anyway... dont click the attachment.
* edited to add - WARNING _ this is a very unpleasant image, though it does a pretty good job of highlighting what it means for dog to be used as a butcher's meat - in future bear in mind that 'don't click it' isn't an acceptable warning when you're posting something to shock. *
I think I've been conditioned enough to regard dogs as domestic animals rather than a food source, so I probably wouldn't, but I wouldn't rule it out.
As whowhere says it's silly to judge another cultures eating habits by our own tastes and conditioning because they will eat different things.
minimi I've been to a butchers plenty of times before and watched that episode of Gordon Ramsey at an abattoire, but I still see no need to post up shocking images.
If we were having a discussion about car accidents, how lovely would it be of me to post pictures of people decapitated or crushed to death? Or a discussion about the US, very easy enough to get some pictures through google image of some blown up Iraqi children. I just never understand the point of posting shocking images especially on a website for young people.
That's got nothing to do with it, you're posting images to shock. What about if I post a picture of a casserole that's made with dog meat, could you tell the difference from a normal casserole? Because that's what you would be eating, not decapitated dog heads or carcasses stripped to the bone.
Why did you post the images?
I think they're inappropriate on a website that may well be visited by 12, 13 year olds. the first image, the caption that says the website it is from is certainly not suitable for people of that age group.
Yes it has. I posted the picture half to shock and half to make a point. Its a fucking hunk of meat for gods sake just what you find down tesco's meat counter or your local butcher. But because it is a dog it is unpleasant or shocking?
If you're a vegan then any shock caused by those pictures is definately with reason. But you are not and most of those hypothetical 12 or 13 year olds that may see it gasp wouldn't be either.
Its a dog. So what. Who cares if its a cat monkey goat or cow. Its meat. Meat gets eaten. Om nom nom.
mmm pork tenderloin.
But yea, go you, you like stuffing shocking images in people's faces.
I would eat it, but I wouldn't go out of my way to try it. If I was in China, and someone recommended it, then I'd give it a go.
No sorry, I don't think that first image is something that needs to be removed given the context of the thread- though where it has been quoted is going to be removed, it doesn't need to be in twice.
The second image is far more brutal and does need the warning. Posting anything similar in the thread wouldn't be acceptable really, the points already been made.
Though I will put a warning on the thread itself.
Is it any different than showing a piece of chicken?
I don't find the picture shocking tbh... It's just a dog. If people are gonna eat meats, then why be shocked at the pictures?
If you cant cope with the reality that the meat you eat was an animal, and before it gets shrink wrapped, it looks pretty gruesome whatever the animal, maybe you need to rethink your diet full stop
I don't think there is any need to eat dog. They're also intelligent mammals that are capable of working to help blind and deaf people, with the police, rescue teams, lifeguards, and in the prison service. It just seems a complete waste to eat them.
Exactly. That picture of the dog is just the same as a pig or chicken hanging in the butchers. Why is it acceptable to hang up dead pigs and chickens in a market but not a dog? An animal is an animal. People have such double standards when it comes to eating meat.
Cruelty towards an animal before it dies is a completely different story. No animal should be subject to that no matter what animal it is. In fact I think cruelty to the animals should be the issue, rather than the type of animal being killed to eat
Interestingly dogs there are also kept as pets and functional domesticated animals (sniffer dogs, security), so its not "one or the other." However, dogs kept as pets have only emerged recently as Chinese citizens were banned from owning pet dogs for many years due to chronic food shortages. Now they are largely kept for status signalling.
