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...

I didn't think this was a plausible excuse since any company hosting a special event design from the beginning to bringing the most amount of attendees they could (how many does a theater hold?) would cancel the event at the last minute due to one person's death in the family. One would think the sales or PR team would be able to hold together a 13 to 20 minute presentation without one person. The show must go on, as they say.
I mean, unless it was a famous headliner, most people have a backup plan or are prepared to go on in case of a situation like this one.
