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...

We very rarely know enough about the news ...
As someone who worked in television news for 30 years, that's simply not true. There are basic questions that must be asked and answered for any story - the who, what, and where. These details are ascertainable through police reports (in the instance of a robbery or other crime) or fire department reports (in the instance of a fire or other emergency). Cameras and photographers provide a visual record.
The survey hinges on your ability to judge sources as to reliability as well as recognizing the brand names of parody sites.
This is not some arcane science. Just because FOX told you the 'mainstream media' is bad, and Donald Trump tells you it's all fake doesn't make it so, and it doesn't mean there's a level of analysis or perception that is eluding you.
Pay attention, use critical thinking, and you'll find that you know quite a bit more than you think.
