I downvoted this post as I don't find this uplifting at all. I don't eat meat, and I love my dog, but there's no reason to single out dog meat consumption other than cultural norms and globalization. It seems like an unreasonable position for the South Korean government to have taken.
My Korean meat farm rescue Jindo and I disagree with you.
You gave him such a great gift of love and care. I'm so happy you did that.
That's cool, dude. I like your dog. But maybe think about the next pig you eat as ALSO being a sweet, intelligent, and inherently valuable critter.
There's no reason to save a dog that doesn't also lead to saving a pig, just as there's no reason to eat a pig that's not also a reason to eat a dog.
