Lop their brain-dead noggins off

Remember that old song: "If you don't know how to do it, we'll show you how to walk your dog?"

Well, in Korea, some mean "wok!"

CANINE RECIPES

Yesterday, if all went according to plan, a group of 100 dogmeat restaurant owners set up a nationwide federation in a city on the outskirts of Seoul to outline plans to promote dog meat to foreign tourists before and during the World Cup period. Their keynote speaker for the event was to be "Doctor Dogmeat," Chungchong University professor Ahn Yong-keun, who boasts 350 canine recipes.

A story in last Friday's Winnipeg Sun reports the eating of dogmeat in Korea has caused alarm among animal rights activists in South Korea ahead of the 2002 World Cup Soccer finals ... because some dogs are beaten, burned or hanged to make their meat more tender.

I can think of 100 or so restaurant owners I wouldn't mind seeing that happen to. When you know what the emotional and intellectual capability of most dogs is, that their loyalty to humans often surpasses what many humans seem capable of, it's beyond disgusting they are being raised for slaughter.

OUTRAGEOUS!

I'm not done yet. Dogs knowingly SAVE peoples' lives! Much as I feel guilt about eating even a chicken, not many of them run into burning buildings to save their owners or tackle bad guys with guns or lead the blind.

Sure we have to eat something, but a creature that cries when its human partner leaves and explodes with joy when he/she gets home ... this is FOOD?

One more time. OUTRAGEOUS!

Sometimes, this world just STINKS!
