Now, I love dogs, but I also try to respect the different cultures of the world, so I'm not opposed to eating dog meat....
When the World Cup takes place in South Korea this summer, a group of restaurant owners plans to offer foreign tourists free samples of soup and sandwiches, all made from dog meat. Although animal rights groups have condemned the practice as "barbarous," advocates argue that it's part of South Korean cuisine, just as horse meat, snails and pigeon are in other countries. "Our campaign is aimed at advertising our traditional food to foreigners to dispel their prejudices about our food culture," the group said. There are an estimated 6,000 dog meat restaurants in the nation.
