Does anyone object to eating nuts. Well who should we believe is telling the truth. Whatever you say e.t. is find with me. I don't have bone in this debate. Man bites into horses ass or dog loses soul in Seoul. Horse-Eating French Fault Dog-Eating Koreans Self-appointed activists in France, where horse flesh is a delicacy, have a bone to pick with those dog-eating Koreans. Brigitte Bardot, the long-ago movie sexpot, today told South Koreans that they "need to listen to what foreigners say about the eating of dog meat as it harms Korea's image." Stop Snacking on Those Canine People "Dogs are humans' friends, not animals for food, helping the blind walk, so eating dog meat is like eating humans," Bardot told a South Korean radio program. Responding to complaints from well-fed Europeans, the South Korean government said today that it would investigate allegations of canine abuse. "The government will intensify efforts to root out any mistreatment of dogs in the country in a bid to prevent its international image from being harmed ahead of the World Cup soccer finals," a senior Foreign Ministry official told United Press International. The official said the government would not curb the consumption of dog meat. "It would be impossible to ban the sales of dog meat under Korea's tradition and custom," he said. Many South Koreans have complained about foreign intervention against their dietary habits and say international pressure should not undermine their tradition. "Korea is a country with a long culture, and it is impossible to change the practice because of a one-time sports event," said a consumer at a dog restaurant in Seoul. newsmax.com tom watson tosiwmee.
