While societal attitudes towards animals are shifting in modern Korea and with a high proportion of the population keeping dogs as domestic pets, the country's infamous dog farms and dog meat restaurants are still operating.

The practice of over protecting dogs is highly controversial in China. Many dog lovers exhibit an extremely neurotic tendency, which has caused great public disgust.

Many people believe that the attitude towards dog meat should not be overly concerned about the so-called "international community“，dietary habits are the most important component of Chinese culture, and one should not blindly follow Western attitudes.

The current President of South Korea is a very act arbitrarily and extremely flattering person to the United States, and I am very worried about his future outcome.

Owners of dog meat farms slam first lady

First lady Kim Keon Hee faces criticism from a group representing dog meat farm owners for her recent remarks calling for an end to the country's contentious culture of eating dogs.

The group claimed Kim, who is neither a president nor a lawmaker, should maintain neutrality as the role of the first lady is supporting the president.

"Siding with animal rights groups, which are interest groups, and calling for banning dog meat consumption is obvious political activity that exceeds her authority," the group said in its statement, Thursday.

The comments came as Kim vowed to work to ban dog meat consumption within the tenure of the Yoon Suk Yeol government.

"I will try to put an end to dog meat consumption before the tenure of this government ends. I think that is my duty," she said during her luncheon with officials from animal rights groups, including Kara, on April 12.

After the remarks were reported through the media, both ruling and opposition parties appeared to support Kim.

Rep. Tae Yong-ho of the ruling People Power Party proposed a bill outlawing the butchery and sale of dog and cat meat on April 14. A day earlier, Rep. Kim Min-seok, the chief policymaker of the main opposition Democratic Party of Korea, also said his party will push to enact a special law banning dog meat consumption.

The owners said the rival parties as well as the first lady are neglecting people working in the dog meat industry, claiming that their remarks and action are an attempt to woo voters at a time when increasing numbers of people are living with companion animals in the country.

The group said banning dog consumption simply because an increasing number of people hate that culture is illogical.

"By that logic, if an increasing number of people hate Buddhism or Christianity, then the government can remove that religion," the group said. "Different religions coexist in this country. The Constitution also bans majorities from curtailing the liberties of minorities. Talking about social consensus only for dog meat is against the Constitution."

The group said it will hold a press conference in front of the presidential office in Yongsan next Tuesday to criticize the first lady for attempting to "take people's rights to eat away."

The first lady has openly supported a ban on all types of dog meat consumption.

During her interview with a vernacular newspaper in June last year, she said Korea and China are the only countries among big economies where people eat dog meat.

At the time, she said the issue can be solved through policies by, for example, supporting people working in the dog meat industry to change jobs.

President Yoon, who once said eating dogs was a matter of personal choice, later changed his position and pledged to work to ban dog meat consumption during his election campaigning.

While societal attitudes towards animals are shifting in modern Korea and with a high proportion of the population keeping dogs as domestic pets, the country's infamous dog farms and dog meat restaurants are still operating.

Worst comes to worst they can still export to Switzerland.

The Western green eyed monster is rearing its ugly. The West can only wish they had that kind of power where, "No ice cream for you.." can affect your stock value. The Western media is trying to use this to turn Western business away from China. No, they can't if they want to make money.

Let it be known that even the mere appearance of discrimination and disrespect towards Chinese will kill your business. H&M…their board should’ve been fired long ago.

There’s a popular theory that goes that low birth rates are due to women diverting that maternal instinct into pets and pet food and vet bills as opposed to human children who can grow up to support them and the future of the nation. I actually think it has a lot of merit

China's base in Djibouti however doesn't have an airstrip from which it could deploy transport aircraft from.

Of course, it could still have some uses to help with an evacuation but their Djibouti base is different in scale to the US base there. All of which is to say if an air bridge is part of their evacuation contingency they'll probably need the cooperation of another nation in the region to ferry their personnel from.

Operation Red Sea 2 has a new real life story to base off now.

Who are they to say. Is USA part of Arab League? What gave them the authority!

Mask off moments for the empire are getting more common. It’s fascinating to see after the decades of propaganda about how the US respects sovereignty

Two of the worst-performing US tech stocks this week – Cisco and Tesla – have something in common: Both ran into a buzz-saw of Chinese competition. At the New York opening April 21, Telsa had lost more than 12% during the week and Cisco more than 8.1%.

Chickens have come home to roost for Cisco, who tried to kill Huawei. Now it is they who will be buried.

By the only laws that the anglos respect: Vae Victus. Woe to the Conquered.

Could you share more information about this? This is the first time I heard about this problem of being too over protective of dogs.

Umm. NK is a UN member and has a mutual defense treaty with China. A shootdown of its rocket over international waters would qualify as aggression according to the UN Charter. China should be very explicit that this would get retaliated in kind by the destruction of a Japanese recon satellite. China would be backing both its commitment and the UN Charter. Also, it would deliver the needed message to Japan and a few others.
