South Korea's parliament on Tuesday passed a landmark ban on production and sales of dog meat, as public calls for a prohibition have grown sharply over concerns about animal rights and the country's international image.
Some angry dog farmers said they plan to challenge the bill's constitutionality and hold protest rallies, a sign of continued heated debate over the ban.
After a three-year grace period, the bill would make slaughtering, breeding and sales of dog meat for human consumption illegal from 2027 and punishable by 2-3 years in prison. It doesn't provide any penalties for eating dog meat.

Animal rights are such a joke. So many copes in this thread, too.
I respect a vegan more than a hypocritical meat eater, but I say, slaughter any animal you like.
it's only hypocrisy under your eastern-derived moral system where "all things have souls, all life is sacred, all life thinks and feels, all harm is wrong, all killing is wrong"
people dont get far following this. predictably. we are apex predators hardwired to dominate. the most successful asian nations were all westernized via america, marx, or islam.
it's absolutely not hypocritical under western moral systems where the ritual cleanliness/holy value/utilitarian worth of lifeforms vary. rather, from a western AKA correct point of view, the more asian system where "all life is life" is hypocritical unless you admit you believe it is okay to murder people in defense of animals, which then, makes you evil under the western system. hence vegans are automatically disliked, as well as anyone who admires them.
the foundation of both systems is ultimately a form of religion. in one, souls were given to all things. in the other, humans have souls more like god, and everything else has a mere spirit or nothing at all. so neither actually makes rational sense nor can it.
the only people i don't respect are the ones who believe there can be good or evil without a religion but don't admit that they are purely egoists and just think their opinions matter more.
for me, humans alone have a divine spark and are above everything else. everything else is evaluated in currency and secondary societal effects. because of this at the end of the tldr humans ought not to farm mammals. only reptiles (including birds) and ray finned fish.
Dog eaters think its moral to kill a crippled car accident victim rather than let them live as a drain on society. They are of low character. Always have been.
You must be of low character in order to eat a dog with a clean conscience just like you need to be truly evil to eat “humanely farmed and slaughtered humans”.
Europe used to have dog eaters. Somewhere in the two world wars they all vanished. Most likely dead because their enthusiasm for killing things that are very much like themselves.
Pigs are just swine, killing a pig is like killing a demon. No one cares. Dogs are closer to people in spirit.
It's not about eating dog it's about the fact that they torture them because they think it makes them taste better.
DOGS ARE FOOD
I would never raise dogs to eat as I love dogs too much kill them for food, but I don't understand the taboo around eating dog meat. I own chickens that I love, and would never eat but I eat store bought chicken frequently. I think you should be able to eat any animal as long it isn't dangerous to public health like bat or other dangerous bush meat, or needlessly torturous to the animal to be farmed/hunted or culled.
Only autists and psychopaths dont understand the natural moral of not all lives having the same value or the differing sanctity of corpses
For properly functioning people who didnt need to cheat with mental illness to get a few extra IQ points, this is all innate and plainly obvious. Explaining it to you would be like trying to get a psychopath to admit that vigilante justice is always wrong on principle without exception.
>vigilante justice is always wrong on principle without exception
It's one guy wielding the moronation of ten
One more step towards the mass conversion of koreans to christianity.
If people want to outlaw the consumption of dog meat then let them. It's their country.
Just don't pretend that it's somehow moral to eat other animals on a similar level of sentience or sensibility to dogs but not dogs themselves, you are just trying to fool others and yourself. You just like dogs more than you like those other animals and that's why it bothers you that other people eat them.
Eating dogs is degenerate. They are not prey animals, a host of parasites and evolved to assist, empathize with and communicate with humans.
Pigs don't have the same emotional intelligence.
Sorry but not all cultures are made equal.
pigs are in every way superior to dogs. intelligence, companionship, flavour
spoken like someone who never had either a pig or a dog. Or someone who thinks chihuahuas are dogs
Try eating undercooked pork and then b***h to me about parasites.
Undercooked pork has been safe to eat for decades, boomer
Pigs share more parasites and diseases that can cross the barrier specie with humans than dogs tho?
Dogs as meat is entirely justifiable. They held the same position as pigs in many cultures. This is just the sokoreans attempting to become more americanized like everything else they do.
not all cultures are equal. generally, those that do not align with western europe, a continuously evolving cultural tradition going back to greece, rome, israel, etc are inferior and will be conquered or realize their error and voluntarily submit.
reminder the only reason china, japan, and korea are advanced is because their societies were restructure around western ideals courtesy of marx, macarthur, and hodge. people think “ooooh this is proof of race and iq!” but no. these countries were forcibly altered on a cultural level by westerners to go about their business like westerners. we could do it to anyone and make them a success story if we were allowed to nuke them or slaughter the opposition
>”the east” = russia and china
>so westernized their nations were remodeled based on german literature
Really. Some cultures… yeah in colombia they frick donkeys, go on, do that, but the world is following this trend for a reason.
Are they still allowing baby crabs to be boiled alive in oil and sold as street food? That shit, to me, is far more horrific than eating meat that happens to come from a dog (assuming the dog wasn't murdered in an equally or more appaling manner), and until they fix that shit, all Koreans can frick right off.
It's a crab, get over it.
crabs cant feel a thing
china banned gutter oil but they still do it
Lame
More countries should be slaughtering dogs, not necessarily for meat but just because dogs suck.
quiet rajesh. opinions of shitskins aren't welcome on this website
Cool, when will they ban pork under the same principle?
Not all animals are equal, vegan. Dogs are like us. Pigs have limited social ability and are basically psychopaths. They trade social capabilities for a slight increase in intelligence that is worthless to everyone but themselves.
Dogs also share enough behavior with us to trigger the empathy response in normal people while adult swine are uglier than diseased americans and trigger a revulsion response so killing them is far from an issue for a normal persons psychology.
Pigs also get fat as frick in a year eating things we cant and dogs are lean as frick and have our exact diet.
When you view this through the lens of efficient resource management it makes sense why some things are just biomass reactors and other things are part of society. Dont fret! In the future, GMO pigs will be brainless, and GMO dogs will be fully sapient.
thats what lab grown meat will end up as tbh. we use a lot more than the muscle tissue so we do need bones, hides, and organs. the organs and marrow are actually part of the healthiest possible human diet (paired with fruit and root vegetables) while a diet of no meat but muscle and fat is significantly less healthy.
rather than grow muscle in a vat the farmers of the future will grow a whole brainless animal hooked up to feeding and waste disposal tubing. no more herding or danger or disease! they will basically be meat plants.
meanwhile as humans trade physical ability for greater intellect we will need a second race for aid. enter 100 iq border collies.
>meanwhile as humans trade physical ability for greater intellect we will need a second race for aid. enter 100 iq border crossers.
>Dogs are like us
They aren't. You are trying poorly to legitimize why it's okay to eat some animals and not others based on your subjective tastes. You are using a hypothetical lack of social capabilities (which isn't true) as justification when it isn't one. Swines also trigger an empathy response with us so this isn't the reason why they are eaten and not dogs. The actual reason is taste. Pigs taste better than dogs and so we don't eat dogs. That's literally the only reason.
>They aren't
they are. dogs are so much like us, it's a problem. stray dogs behave exactly like tribes of stray humans. the word for a stray human who has not found god is a SAVAGE. stray pig behave more like rats. there are hordes, but they don't coordinate. dogs coordinate. the western israeli scientists say pigs are more intelligent because of their experiments, but you have not been to iraq. a well trained dog is raised so it never develops the ability to think. a dog that knows how to think, is like a monkey that eats meat.
a dog can learn to guard and hunt. a pig is so degenerate that if you train it to find a truffle, it will bite your hand off to keep the truffle.
>lack of social capabilities
the only social unit pigs have is two females taking care of offspring so the males dont fricking eat them. the females may also eat them, arbitrarily. dogs form packs based on a family unit like us and work cooperatively. you get gored by one boar if you offend them that day, but a pack of stray dogs will stalk you for a week eat, learn your habits, you to the bone.
>swines trigger and empathy response
no, they don't. ask me how i KNOW you are a prissy thin wristed little chinned white atheist. because you have empathy for swine. no wonder you are so easily mastered by two legged pigs (israelis).
the word swine is synonymous with something that is so pathetically ugly and degenerate the only thing anyone feels when it dies is relief. in fact, we don't eat pigs for this reason, not because of taste, or tapeworms. do you really think we have no heat in the middle east and eat raw meat? white atheist foolishness
fact 1: people of the book are required by scripture to cook their meat until bloodless
fact 2: we can't eat pork because of worms?
it is because pigs are disgusting. they trigger disgust. they are revolting. they are spiritually unclean. nobody wants them around. having pigs anywhere near you is idiotic. may the sultan's dogs hunt them to extinction.
It is the dumbest white person opinion ever
>the bible, quran, and talmud must ban pork because of illness
All 3 religions actually ban eating any meat that still has blood in it. Godly food is cooked well done. It’s because pigs are just not a good animal to have near you. They’re like pitbulls minus loyalty plus a little extra intelligence that benefits no one but themselves. Still dumber than german shepherds, heelers, huskies, and border collies.
I dont live in dark ages' condition like you, my people have figured out hygiene and germ theory
Hygiene and germ theory dont make pigs less awful
> stray dogs behave exactly like tribes of stray humans.
Stopped reading right there.
Is this whole thread just bait central or are people actually this moronic?
both modern domestic pigs and dogs were literally manmade (or bred) for specific purposes: one for food, one for companionship. This obviously affected the traits chosen for breeding and thereby the roles and capabilities of both nowadays
>GMO pigs will be brainless
Horrific and soulless. I'd much rather current meat livestock just have semi-attached growths that can be cut off with minimal pain and that will grow back. That way theyd still align with existing biological systems perfectly. Would probably be a hell of a lot easier than making a brainless pig, too.
never, because it tastes good
If you taste good can I eat you?
Pigs were domesticated for meat, dogs weren't. Cry about it.
Sorry Muzzie. Not gonna happen.
It'll happen. Not now and not tomorrow, but in the future surely.
>Cool, when will they ban pork under the same principle?
When pigs stop being able to run minutes after birth and stop being cannibalistic before weaning we can talk about letting them into our elite club. Until then they are just especially smart and brutal prey.
When Allah wills it, mashallah.
