Did you know dog meat is served in restaurants in South Korea? I didn't. In the United States and most western countries, Fido is a family companion and while it's not ethical to judge another culture by our standards, anyone who doesn't at least (humanely) butcher the animal first is acting without proper care. South Korea relies on western consumerism for their economy and needs to be aware that we do not accept the practice of skinning and boiling dogs alive. Originally shared by April Benney Over 6,000 restaurants in South Korea are still serving dog meat even though it is now illegal. In many Asian countries dogs are boiled alive or skinned alive when slaughtered. It's an unbelievably horrendous & torturous way to die. I know a lot of you hate seeing this kind of posts on G+, but the Asian industry slaughtering dogs & cats is how I first got involved in animal rights & it will always be my main animal welfare concern. It's intolerable what is happen...

At one point, when my son was around eight, he announced he wanted to join the Boy Scouts. I wasn't stoked, but after asking around and determining the local troop wasn't too bad, I told him I'd take him to meetings if he was sure he wanted to join them. Then he started reading up on the organization and decided it wasn't for him. Yeah, I was sad he was opting out of a chance for socialization, but I was really proud of him too.
I told some Boy Scouts, once, that I couldn't buy their popcorn because the BS (still funny, ha ha ha) discriminated. The poor kid didn't understand, but his parents gave me dirty look.
