Koreans Love Their Dog Meat

This story out of the UK tells of the Korean love of dog meat with an estimated 6,000 restaurants nation-wide. About 3 million of South Korea's 47 million people are believed to eat dog meat.

Even so, international animal rights groups have condemned the practice as barbarous, and South Korea has no law governing the sale of dog meat. Many Koreans consider criticism of the practice a slight to their national pride.

My question is, why aren't the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) over in Korea raising hell? If they are really concerned about animals, they'd concentrate on getting people not to eat pets instead of going after fried chicken and hamburgers. Even if they are successful in pricing chicken, beef and pork out of the marketplace, there still will be millions of people eating dogs.

Of course, since Koreans are proud that they eat dog, PETA may have a hard time recruiting liberal boo-hooers and do-gooders on the peninsula. It sure would be fun watching them try.
