Hmm, is there a possibility of 'efficient recycling' of some description in this case (I've no ideas myself)? Since SK seems determined to kill them anyway...

Pigs are people too

Unfortunately, there's no viable "recycling" option. They are diseased. It's just like the BSE culling of cows we had, except we didn't bury them alive...

Hardly surprising from a nation that eats dogs.

How can whether a nation eats dog or not be related to how they treat other animals?

It might be a way that they treat animals in general. I suspect that the Chinese would do the same. Though our western standards of animal welfare are not always perfect. Just look at the case with the cat in the bin that happened here last year.

The comments on the article are worth a read. Between this and comments on Daily Mail articles I've got my daily entertainment sorted.

It's no good, I've got to post some....



WHAT?



Are they joking?



Ok, at first I felt sorry for the pigs. But after reading the comments page I wish they'd throw this lot in too.



Again, what do cars have to do with throwing pigs in a hole?

Comments is the very best way to get extremely depressed about society and the people we share our planet with. On the other hand, amusement can be had, as you say.
Wherever comments are enabled a joust of opposing views has been agreed, and the rules are those of the street fighter. No hold is barred, no language too profane and (this is the best bit) no argument too ridiculous. The only caveat is a lack of actual afters, no fisticuffs, no blackened eyes or broken noses.
Some blogs I read, have comments disabled, which at first seems a trifle mean, after all i might wish to engage in a discourse on some minor point of difference or clarity. In the main though, where comments are enabled, the population enjoy an ability to render my desire to share rather reduced, nay dead. This year I shall get out more

Why the hell should whether you eat an animal determine how you treat it during life? All life forms should be granted some sort of decency and respect whilst they don't cause us any problems, surely? Dogs are an animal as much as cows - how do you think cultures in, for example, India feel about us eating beef? It's all meat at the end of the day.

I agree. I eat meat but still want the animal treated as well as possible. I do understand that feelings about animal welfare differ around the world. In this case maybe the Koreans decided to cut a lot of corners rather than do it as they would normally.

Their Samsung television comes from Korea too, I bet they don't rush to throw that out
