It has a sour and salty taste and comforts the digestive system. The South Korean dog meat industry in itself involved about 1 million dogs, 6,000 restaurants, and 10 percent of the population. Various parts of China also find eating dog meat socially acceptable.<br /><br />The Western society, however, is outraged, calling such a practice barbaric. Not only is the consumption of dog meat in America a cultural taboo, those who do eat dog are criticized. Numerous animal rights activists have publicly criticized the dog meat industry and even FIFA, the world soccer organization, has called on South Korean to stop eating dogs.<br /><br />But there is an essential question yet to have been answered: What’s wrong with eating dogs?<br /><br />Anti-dog-meat activists claim that eating dog meat is inhumane because dogs are pets—friends, not animals. Brigitte Bardot, the French actress-turned-activist who called on FIFA to protest dog meat consumption in South Korea said “I had protested against the cruel treatment of geese for food. But geese are generally seen as food. Meanwhile, dogs are close friends to humans so that people must not make them suffer." But “food dogs” are not pets nor are they close friends to humans. They are bred in farms, just like any other livestock. They are killed humanely, just like any other livestock. And they are sold and prepared for consumption, just like any livestock.<br /><br />However, despite the parallel treatment between “food dogs” and any other livestock on the market, most people, even the Korean government itself, do not widely accept such a practice. In fact, though not strictly enforced, it is illegal to eat dog meat in Korea. And contrary to popular belief, dogs are rarely eaten, if at all, in most Asian households.<br /><br />The debate on whether eating dog meat seems to be based on cultural differences and like most controversies, no side can win completely without continuing opposition. An international ban on dog meat would be imperialistic and would almost seem like a blatant attempt by the Western world to impose their cultural standards on the East. However, the continuation of the dog meat industry would anger animal activists and would be an act of insensitivity towards those who hold that dogs, despite what country they were raised in, are truly man’s best friends.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399073602591743853.post-7310374175863488852014-12-28T07:32:28.207+08:002014-12-28T07:32:28.207+08:00Ew how can Asians east dogs?

And there ...The Alpha wolf theory is also outdated. And there are a variety of theories about how dogs were domesticated. Natural selection probably did not "pick" less aggressive pups once they were taken into human company - the humans most likely would off the ones that were aggressive. It's generally agreed that there are a variety of ways the dog could have been domesticated, not just one, and that they all could have occurred across time and/or space. Dogs living off of human refuse and garbage is a common occurrence even today. It is also possible that humans were the ones following the wolves to food, possibly scaring the wolves off after they made a kill and leaving parts they didn't want to use. Anyways, do a little extra research, and always back up what you say with references or links to strengthen your arguments.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-399073602591743853.post-7819470345214735822012-09-11T15:16:17.753+08:002012-09-11T15:16:17.753+08:00Please do some research before making a general st...Please do some research before making a general statement about an entire culture.
