Why I Don't Eat Dog
From "Korea Should Stop Eating Man's Best Friends":
    Before dogs are killed for meat, they are often strung up by their legs and beaten. Dog butchers extol the virtues of their product, linking the adrenaline rush dogs experience as they are bludgeoned to death to enhanced male virility.
I've witnessed the hanging of a dog from a tree and its bludgeoning by some old men. It was not a pretty sight.

The concept of "animal rights" is absurd, but animals, as a part of Creation, have a certain dignity that we are called to uphold as the stewards of Creation. As I've noted before, these ideas are explored in depth by former Bush speechwriter Matthew Scully.
