What part of "South Korea Dog Meat Festival was giving you the most trouble, Adrian? As with the Pat Condell thing I do not feel that I have to exempt by name every Korean who does not eat dog meat. The fact that they have a DOG MEAT FESTIVAL is pretty much all I need to run with.
And VOID, I told you: Some of us like dogs and if you want protect the rights of Koreans to eat dog then fuck them and fuck you.
Is that simple enough guys? Maybe you have plans for your republicolibertarianazi pals to open a dog ranch in Iowa?
1. You haven't even attempted to show that eating Dog meat is any worse than eating pork or beef, yet you assert that the very notion of it is morally wrong - this is nothing more than you imposing your values without justification. While I likewise agree not to consume Dog meat because of my own values, my love for dogs, I do not presuppose myself to be some righteous objective valuer who's ideals are the basis of other people's decisions. My cultural affinity for Dogs is no more objective than an Indian cultural affinity for cattle which leads them to condemning hamburgers.
2. The vast majority of Koreans are against the practice, as was the entire point of the article you posted, yet despite this fact you are against a Korean company operating a chicken factory because SOME Koreans eat dog meat! That's compete bullshit! The Korean people at large managed to make the continuation of a practice they dislike non-viable economically by threatening not to do business with those who support it - This is the moral way to do it, using persuasion to change the values of others - What you have done amounts to little more than blind bigotry!
