Think of how you would feel if the govt forced this on you. How dreadful. My heart goes out to these people.
I've included just one link to a news story about this so you will know I'm not making this up.
N. Korea rounds up people’s pets due to national food shortage: report |
Before we see the eating of dogs as a peculiar feature of Communism, it’s worth noting that later in the same article we find an estimate that in SOUTH Korea in 2018, two million dogs were eaten, most bred and raised for food. I’ve personally seen half a dozen skinned dog carcasses tied to a bicycle being ridden to a dog restaurant in Guangzhou, China.
It’s generally thought that the Aztecs and other Native American groups bred chihuahuas, turkeys, and guinea pigs for eating. I like dogs a lot, but I’ve known a few that deserve to be stewed, some of them particularly yappy and nippy chihuahuas. (Not that I would eat them.)
In a lot of countries, dogs, like pigs, primarily eat garbage people don’t want. It’s sad, but true. (Well, in some countries that’s what poor children eat, too.) My dog only eats a quarter cup of food twice a day. I have friends, though, with three big labs that eat in a day what my dog weighs. In times of hunger, a lot of people watching their children starve resent the Communist party elite with their well-fed pets.
