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...

One day he showed up and the dog's ears were bandaged. I disagreed silently. About a month later he showed up again with the dogs ears still in bandages. I asked him what was taking so long to heal. His response? He had to get them done twice since he didn't like the way they looked the first time.
I nearly hit him.

As you can see, there are dozens of dogs up for adoption, many are purebred. This is but one shelter in the Denver area and that number does not include the breed specific rescue groups.
Alice Cabrera You made your arguments wonderfully, I just had to add my two cents.
Arpit Srivastava Thank you for admitting that you've abandoned your argument. I for one appreciate that you've changed your mind and I hope that you won't try to convince any others that it's okay to breed their animals. Because your original argument, sad to say, is a large part of the problem.
not desexing your pet is irresponsible , your dog won't be the one suffering - it's the six or ten dogs in the shelter who will die because those potential homes were taken by your puppies .
