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...

Of course, as a college professor I studied social media so I had a bit of a leg up when it came time to actually - you know - use it.
And I'm using the term "professor" loosely .. as in "somebody who teaches college" and not the "rank attained by surviving tenure for the requisite number of years." My highest faculty rank was "adjunct" which falls somewhere above "teaching assistant" and somewhere below "human being."
That reality probably had some bearing on my decision to become a full time writer rather than pursue a career in academe.
Just to be clear.
