This is an appeal to everyone, who’s not indifferent to animals’ suffering. In South Korea, over 5,000 dogs a day get strangled, burned, electrocuted or beaten to death for their meat.
Help us to stop this – we need only one million of signatures! This petition is available for the people from all over the world, in many languages. Also Koreans are fighting against this proceder, most of them do not support eating dogs’ meat.

doesn't work for me either. Is this a petition to stop dogs being killed for their meat, or a petition to stop the way they are being killed for their meat (ie, to introduce humane slaughter)? There is nothing wrong with eating dog meat.
 
Why do people make such a fuzz about this? When pigs and cows are treated this way ( and they're very likely also treated like that), you don't hear a thing about it, but when it concerns dogs everybody is aroused?

yes the methods are barbaric, but if the greatness of nations is judged by the way they treat their animals then there would be precious few nations even approaching greatness. Chickens, pigs, cattle, all these are farmed intensively in factory conditions in some or most developed countries (not to mention the atrocities that can happen in the pet trade). There are people - many people - protesting the conditions of animal welfare in these farms (@ Johnny) but it will continue all the same; some countries will ban factory farming, some will modify it, but in many it will carry on as before. The reason people get all worked up over the dogs is simply because Westerners are overly sentimental - dogs are family pets, pigs and chickens are not. Westerners know better than Eastern cultures and can tell them what they can and can't do, even if it is the opposite of what they do themselves.

I have eaten dog many times, and I have no issues with having done so because those I have eaten were village livestock, exactly the same as the chickens or pigs living there. I would not eat "factory-farmed" dogs, however, simply because of the humane issues, the same as I won't eat battery hens. If you are going to protest about the eating of dogs then you must surely also protest about eating any other species of domestic animal whether it is pig, chicken, cat or sheep.
 
An eminently sensible post as ever, Chlidonias.

There is no reason not to eat dogs but to eat pigs (an animal of broadly similar 'intelligence', let's not forget) other than sentimentality - so long as they are treated in a basically humane manner.
 
You're very welcome, HuxleyPig!

Belated response, but I am totally against factory farming. How these are legal are beyond me, not only with animal cruelty involved, but also the diseases, etc that come off from their runoff. I support organic farmers all the way, along with worldwide animal protection to protects both domestic and wild animals.
