Korean meat processor wins bid to buy U.S. chicken company

There's a joke in there somewhere I just know it.
Quick! Check the roosters.
First there's outsourcing and now there's incoming.
Yeah, that's a good one.
Sorta.

A South Korean meat and poultry business this week won an auction to buy Allen Family Foods Inc., a chicken integrator in Delaware that filed for bankruptcy liquidation earlier this year (Feedstuffs, June 20).
Harim Holdings Co. Ltd., through its newly established Harim USA Ltd., outbid cross-state producer Mountaire Farms of Delaware, which walked away from bidding Monday after a bankruptcy court trustee said its $30 million offer was too low.
It hasn't yet been announced week what Harim USA offered, but the trustee had stated that he valued Allen at $53 million. *Feedstuffs Full Article*

And an inflow of capital to resurrect a business in liquidation is a bad thing how? Who cares if it's Koreans who own it?

Yeah I can't help but see this as a good thing. The business gets a new lease on life, and on top of it a foreign food processor now has an american facility which is subject to american standards and regulations. Sure, they'll have to hire migrant workers for $2.50 a day as opposed to Korean labor (IDK if korean labor is cheaper or not), but if they can compete, its a win win.

Quote:Dog may be a staple ingredient in various Asian cuisines, but that wasn't enough to silence South Korean animal rights activists, whose repeated protests lead to the cancellation of a Seongnam festival focused on promoting canine meat's consumption.
As the AFP is reporting, the festival -- planned to “showcase canine food products, including barbecued dog, sausages and steamed paws”
Yep...pure fiction!

Dude, calling racist when someone backs it up with facts only shows how little you know about Korean culture.
Minimalist might be ignorant about it, but you're being more so.
All you're doing is diluting the term 'racist'.  And yes, several ethnic Korean dishes utilize dog.

Though I don't really care what they eat (kinda interested in eating man's best friend)...
With respect to the current OP, I don't really care. As long as the US gets some money out of it, good.

As long as they don't start rounding up stray dogs, I don't see an issue with this.
