Interesting clashes of culture.

Clearly dog totrutre is not good

But who are we to say they can't eat them?

------------------------------

Fifa president Sepp Blatter has called on World Cup co-hosts South Korea to stop its people mistreating and eating dogs.

Blatter's appeal came after thousands of letters from members of the public, especially from Britain and the USA, poured into Fifa headquarters, reports BBC Online.

South Korea banned restaurants from offering dog during the 1988 Olympic Games in Seoul but spicy dog soup is still very popular, especially among older men.
Dog meat is believed by Koreans to improve strength and virility by Koreans and dogs are bred especially for food.

Under methods now officially banned, dogs were hung or beaten with bats to soften their flesh before slaughter - usually by electric shock - but these laws too have been ignored of late.

Fifa said dogs were still being tortured, despite laws banning the mistreatment of animals.

Blatter has written to Fifa vice president Dr Chung ****-Joon, who is president of the South Korean FA and a Korean MP, requesting "immediate and decisive measures to put an immediate end to this cruelty.”

Woof Woof!

I'm a dog lover. I cannot ever imagine wanting to eat one.

However, I don't think that a bunch of letter writing bleeding heart freaks from other cultures should have any say as to what the Koreans may have a mind for doing.

I worked on farms as a teen. I've slaughtered pigs. When it was time to slaughter the hogs, it was also time to shoot the cats. A couple of days before slaughter-time, we would cruise the farm with .22 rifles and ping all the stray cats which had made a home of the place during the previous 364 days. Hell, we had names for some of them. Called their names, and killed them.

People, you don't always want to know the details of how the food got on your plate.

Cows have it no different from these dogs in Korea. I'm sure if the cow-revering Hindu population started writing the rest of us beef-eaters in protest, we would just tell them to get bent.

I hate to think of dogs suffering. There are very strange cultures on this rock, and the Western/English speaking ones are probably the strangest if you stop and think about it. (at least we have various cool forms of football).

Therefore - eat the dogs my Korean freaks. Eat hearty.

what cultural imperialism....


so when we held the Olympics we would accept a letter from the IOC saying that they have heard that we eat pigs, and that about 1/3 of the population find this offensive. Please do not serve Ham and Cheese sangas at Homebush.

If the Koreans eat Dog then good on them...who cares ? Let them eat cake !!

If the issue is cuelty then OK but eaten any Goose Liver Pate recently ????....how is that battery hen egg you had for breakfast ???. Good veal ??? (little cow kept out of the light its whole life to ensure the meat is nice and pink....not red.


LET THEM EAT DOG !!!

Yes, I agree - a bit hypocritical really. What is to say that our culture is right and all others are wrong?

Has anyone tasted dog? I bet it tastes like chicken. Maybe a saut'eed border collie tastes delicous washed down with nice cab sav.

Did the IOC ask Australia to refrain from eating Kangaroo during the Olympic Games ?

Many many people from overseas find our local habit of eating Kangaroo offensive and disgusting.

So why are the Koreans being asked to stop eating dog ?

I agree - this is cultural imperilalism at its most arrogant and racist.

Who cares if a whole lot of bleeding heart Euros take offense at eating a dog - its none of their bluddy business what Koreans choose to eat, and FIFA have no business sticking their nose where it is not welcome.

AS for me personally - well my local Chinese serves up some pretty awful fare - I'm sure I've dined out on dog there in the past without knowing :( :p

cheers

It sort of begs the question what a dog menu would look like

Entree

Spicy dog penis soup

Chargrilled Colly ears

Main Course

Alsation steak served with poodle hair fries and a red wine sauce

Grilled Scoth terrier legs - Cajun style




Actually, that's pretty horrible. I think I will leave it to the Koreans


Can FIFA also tell the British to stop eating Blood Sausage and Tripe???????
