    Joo Young-bong, head of the Korea Dog Meat Farmers’ Association, said the group would release two million dogs in the capital – especially near significant governmental locations and outside the homes of politicians.

    Okay. Now they can hold this dipshit personally responsible for every dog released. He could be financially ruined, spend years in prison, or possibly both.

    Tip: if you’re going to threaten the government with what could be considered domestic terrorism, do it anonymously.

    Well there wouldn’t be that many dogs if you didin’t farm them in the first place.

        Well the dog farmers hang, burn, and beat the shit out of the dogs before they kill them because they believe the fear and adrenaline improves the taste and makes them more tender…so yes I’d say it’s worse.

          Pigs, cows, and chickens also experience incredible suffering in factory farms. The whole industry is rotted.

            It is, but most of the actual killing in like 90% of the world is done as fast and cleanly as possible. If only to keep the process as efficient as possible.

            Fun fact, if you want ethically killed meat (if such a thing can exist), the best option is actually Kosher meat. There are religious laws and such, and the easiest way to comply with them is a sort of guillotine. It’s an instant death.

            The animals of also generally better treated than most factory farm setups.

              A 90% figure that is pulled out of your ass sounds a lot less compelling when billions of animals are slaughtered for food each year. How many is too many? And the killing isn’t even the worst part.

                Similar, but in practice it’s quite a bit different.

                Halal requires a swift cut with a sharp knife across the throat of the animal. Severing the spine is expressly forbidden.

                The animal then bleeds out, which can still be a quick death, but nowhere near as fast as decapitation, which is most commonly used in kosher butchery.

                The bolt pistol used in modern butchery can also be instant. You place what looks like a pneumatic drill on the cow’s forehead, and then pull the trigger. It fires a stainless steel rod forward into the cow’s skull. The rod is captive at the end of its travel, so you just have to cock the tool, and you can use it again (provided it’s actually pneumatically powered, and not powered by a blank round, or something else, there are a lot of versions, even some that are designed to not penetrate the skull.)

          Frankly that sounds like the sort of bullshit I’d hear from Greenpeace.

          Even if that were true, have you seen say a chicken farm? Workers will cruelly abuse the ever living shit out of these animals for no reason.

          I wouldn’t say it’s worse than…

          The chickens at the farm were filmed being kicked, thrown to the ground and having their necks broken for fun.

          “I hate it when their heads come off,” one female worker says in a clip.

          “Yeah, it feels good, look,” a male worker replies.

          “Oh, you’re cruel,” the woman say as a chicken writhes on the ground. The other workers can be heard laughing as they all watch the hen

            I was stationed in South Korea and saw them with my own eyeballs but you can believe whatever you like.
