The South Korean belief that eating dog helps beat the heat in the summer months has angered animal rights activists around the world.

Known as ‘Bok-Nal’, the dog eating days, it is a ritual celebrated by South Koreans where dog meat is eaten to increase stamina during the hottest days of the year.

To coincide with the tradition, animal rights activists staged protests around the world today, packing into wired cages in various locations including in front of the South Korean embassies in Seoul, London and America.

While dog meat is consumed throughout the year, during Bok-Nal South Koreans consume more to combat the heat.

Dog meat restaurants in Seoul say they served more customers than usual today.

Animal rights group In Defense of Animals (IDAUSA) said dogs and cats are kept in cramped, filthy cages and slaughtered in unimaginable ways as part of the $2 billion dog and cat meat industry.

A statement on their website said: 'Two and a half million South Korean dogs are electrocuted, hanged, or beaten to death each year.


Don't eat: 2.5 million dogs are killed each year for consumption according to animal rights group In Defense of Animals. The protestors' signs read 'Don't eat dog meat'


'The dogs are slaughtered in unimaginable ways: electrocuted, hanged, and even beaten to death, because of the prevailing myth that the greater the suffering the more tender and tastier the meat, and that the mythical health properties are enhanced.'

Thousands of cats are also eaten in soups and 'tonics'.

IDAUSA said: 'Cats are often bludgeoned and thrown into boiling water while still alive.'

According to Yonhap news agency, Seoul is experiencing the longest period of time with temperatures above 35 degrees Celsius since 1994.

apologize, well hardly ever and certainly not because some unemployed liberal cocksucker filth put on a demonstration


good for them


if the korean slopes want to eat dog then let them;
I think it's uncivilized, but they are gooks after all.
just keep an eye on your pets if they live next to you

I have new evidence that proves eating dog as a child can cause permanent brain damage.

Dog. It's what's for dinner.

If Western mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks, do Chinese mothers use toothpicks?

Not to concerned with people eating dog either Especially if they're starving to death or you're doing what you have to do to survive

Well not true most third worlders should drop dead where they stand.

The savage monkeys gotta torture mans best friend? For flavor?

Saffron is a black jack to the head and while twitching thrown into a pot of boiling water.

Its a dog not a lobster

Animal flesh is animal flesh. Pork, beef, chicken, horse, dog, lizard the list goes on. I would not eat a dog, but since I am a carnivore, I am not going to condemn those who eat meat. Dog is meat. Lets put it this way, you are way off course on the Iditarod, no help in sight, and you have 12 juicy, tasty Huskies in the traces. You will eat the dogs. I have eaten all the above meats (except dog) plus wild duck, grouse, deer, mouse, bear and goose. Yes, I have eaten horse. Pretty tasty.

I said if its amatter of survival but in the modern culture I belong to
In my cultute we don't eat our pals..... and no I don't have to show tolerance towards those cotten velvet making fat fryn pan faced savages.....isn't it ironic the south Koreans are some of the porkiest gooks while the northerners look like. Concentration camp victims.


Are you going to beat the dog and toss it into boiling water while its still alive before you eat it? of course you're not. you're not a third world savage.

I've eaten Guinea pig.
horse to and everything else you've had .......and picked on goat head in India

Btw won't eat horse anymore either.

i wont eat dick, otherwise it's ok.

Maybe we should try to teach the gooks to eat muslims.
