Food Culture Eating Dog Meat A foreign media source recently raised the question on the culture of eating dog meat again, on the occasion of the Pyeongchang Olympics in Korea. The issue has been debated steadily in the international community. Frankly speaking, mentioning of this problem is a kind of disadvantage to Koreans, because there lacks in understanding among foreigners about the specific Korean food culture. Actually, the Korean food culture has nothing to do with pet dogs. Quite a few Koreans have pet dogs and love their dogs. Dogs for food are kept separately, just as pigs and cows are managed on the farm. Unlike many people have mistaken, it's definitely not that Koreans eat their dogs for food. Is it a traditional food culture that we need to respect or still a bad one to be forbidden?

Food Culture Eating Dog Meat

A foreign media source recently raised the question on the culture of eating dog meat again, on the occasion of the Pyeongchang Olympics in Korea. The issue has been debated steadily in the international community. Frankly speaking, mentioning of this problem is a kind of disadvantage to Koreans, because there lacks an understanding among foreigners about the specific Korean food culture.

Actually, the Korean food culture has nothing to do with pet dogs. Quite a few Koreans have pet dogs and love their dogs. Dogs for food are kept separately, just as pigs and cows are managed on the farm. Many people are mistaken, it's definitely not that Koreans eat their dogs for food.

Is it a traditional food culture that we need to respect or still a bad one to be forbidden?

I am so used to seeing dogs as pets that I cringe at the thought of eating one. I don't like seeing any animals killed so I let someone else do it and get my meats at MacDonalds or the supermarket where I don't have to think about it.

I also don't eat dog meat and feel embarrassed about dig meat just like kangaroo or snake meat. I just wanted to question why people are so obsessive in only eating dog.^^

Although it still sounds strange to me (just because I was raised in a different culture), I think that there is basically no difference which animal you eat. People think that eating dogs is worse than eating cows or pigs. They are wrong. Some people just can't believe that you don't eat pet dogs and you also don't hunt on the streets like some wild tribes in the jungle hunt other animals :D They have no idea about it, but they seem to be experts when this topic comes out.
