Yes, It's True, Canines Are A Delicacy
Several years ago, I'll say maybe around 8 or 10, I mentioned that I had seen an ABC special with Barbara Walters, in which she visited a Korean family who butchered and ate dogs as a regular meal. She went through the entire episode interviewing this family who explained there was a right way, and wrong way to do it. They skin, them young, and boil them alive! What is right about that?!?!
In the end, Barbara sat down with them, and ate dog meat. It was a horrendous 20/20 episode, and I hated Barbara for it. I did manage to forgive her over time.
But did anyone believe me? No, they thought I was nuts.
Well, here you have it folks... a South Korean dog meat festival was cancelled amid "growls of protest from animal rights activists." And The Korea Dog Farmer's Association was none too happy with the outcome, stating that they "couldn't possibly go on with the plan due to endless phone calls of complaint... now there are few willing to rent us a place for the event.
Seriously? This is downright barbaric. According to the news organization AFP, they planned to "showcase canine food products, including barbecued dog, sausages, and steamed paws."
While many people don't think there's anything wrong with doing it, I find it quite disturbing. Their argument is, we eat pigs, chickens, cows, and countless of other animals, what is so different about dog or cat? Well, for one, I agree with what one protester said, "Canines are the animals emotionally closest to humans. You can't just publicly celebrate killing and eating them."
What do you think? Is this okay, or would it make your country the laughing stock of the world?
I cannot imagine myself eating my Duchess, Lady, Nacho or Puffs. These dogs are so precious to Ryan and I.

First to the comment left from Anonymous about: Ha Ha, go F*&K yourself. My poor angels are not a delicacy, though at this point they're so fat they could be their own buffet.
Second, I'm honestly starting to have second thoughts about eating piggies. They're smarter then dogs, supposedly, so I imagine that they are emotional creatures to. Plus after seeing that animal rights video the other day, and bonding with a family of piglets back in Corpus, I don't know if I can pay to support the torture of those poor little piglets anymore. Fish, sad but I'll live. That goes for birds too. If I ever meet a cow in real life and bond I'm not sure about hamburgers either. Grocery shopping just got a whole lot more complicated.
