Dogs Are Not Livestock
Korean Animal Rights Groups, along with their counterparts in Taiwan, have lobbied Taiwans lawmakers to help stop the South Korean government from amending a law that will classify dogs as livestock. In South Korea eating dogs is still a common practice.
The Korean Animal Rights Group CARE (Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth) estimate that around 2 million dogs are eaten in South Korea every year.
Whilst there are still a small minority of people who eat dogs in Taiwan they have banned the use of dogs for meat.

The thought of dogs being treated as livestock is obscene. What an awful betrayal of the instinctive pleasure dogs get from helping people, keeping us safe and keeping us company.
Then again, I’m speaking from the perspective of someone whose culture views dogs as friends.
I bet they don’t taste very nice, anyway!
