The next time you buy some electronic components from these evil barbarians remember this.

I will and I was quite annoyed and disgusted with it........

As I read it on my iphone

 

given the high intelligence of pigs this is an absolute outrage

 

Oh that is just terrible,, just so horrible,, those poor poor pigs

 

I agree that this is appaling, but I wouldn't think that everybody in South Korea is in support of this.

 

I agree, it's disgusting. I have always wondered why countries like this have such low welfare standards. I never thought they were particularly 'poor' countries...but I don't know.

i dont think you need to be intelligent to feel the fear that must go through them

absolutley disgusting

I would say "they" as in *desition makers" are wealthy savages.

The general public are far from wealthy.

Will you give up your computer, phone, games consol, TV, door bell, cooker, fridge, heating etc etc etc on the strenght of this??

 

It's disturbing regardless of the intelligence of the animal. But let's not generalise. Not all of us orientals are savages.

And as for electrical components... well while you're at it take a good hard look at the human rights records of some of these countries. No doubt you'll find that even more disturbing.

 

I agree that this is appaling, but I wouldn't think that everybody in South Korea is in support of this.

Of course not...but they're not protesting are they? Can you imagine this in England or the States?...they wouldn't dare,because the media and the Animal Welfare groups would get them sacked.Or at least prosecuted.

This is the behaviour of people that have no concern whatsoever for animals.

And yes I would think twice of buying goods from a country that allowed this horror.They have decided that slaughter is necessary like our lot did a few years back...but for Christs sake kill them humanely first.Bloody scum.

I might have believed it of the cretins in the North but not in South Korea that relies on a good name in the free world.

 

This won't shake the relations between the US and SK, they need eachother to invade North Korea...

Isn't korea ruled with a rod of iron,, they are the ones who get shirty if you speak out on the goverment aren't they

 

I think if they protested they would be killed

North Korea has been under the iron-fist grip of Kim Jong-il since time began. South Korea is a different kettle of fish, both have been bluffingly threatening eachother with war recently.

That's the Communist North the South is much more Westernised with the support of it's American allies.

At least I thought so until I read this.

I don't think it's that they don't protest. It is simply that we don't hear about it. To reporters here in the West it's a big scandal, it's exciting to report on tortured tigers, dog meat and pigs being buried alive but much less exciting to tell us that there are people who stand up to the horrible things animals are put through. The last I remember hearing about a protest in Asia on international news was the TianAnMen Square incident and that was 20 years ago and ended in a massacre.

What is disturbing to me though, other than the act itself of course, is that they have shown no shame. They haven't gone to any lengths at all to try to cover this up. They don't even seem to realise it's cruel Not sure what that's about.

 

i had to read this twice thinking i had read wrongly.
im really upset by this,
its awful

Well, I don't speak Korean or read the Korean press, so, according to the UK press they aren't, but I hadn't seen this story until it was posted on this thread so I'm not going to take that as gospel.
Not to be confrontational (really don't mean to be) but what are we all doing except posting on this forum? Is our rightous indignation on this forum helping??

Their attitudes to animals are still in the dark ages.Although they want the modern world to buy their goods and bring them a better standard of living than owning a water buffalo and planting rice.
It's up to us in the West to apply pressure and make clear our disapproval of their mediaeval behaviour towards animals.

Animal Abuse in South Korea

We on here type hundreds of posts on here about the deaths of foxes by hunting...it's my opinion this is a hundred times worse..and rarely mentioned.

Not yet...but at least open discussion is a start.I knew they ate dog..but I didn't realise they specifically had dog farms where cruelty is rife.

I totally agree but who are we to tell them so?

The educated people with money are one thing but try telling that to a villager.

Are we worthy in the west of telling people how to behave nicely?

I didn't mean what are we doing generally (if that's what you meant). I more meant what are we doing to help?
I'm not talking from some moral highground as I don't do anything but just asking.
My main point though was that we can't tar the whole country as savages, reagrdless of how abhorent we find it.

 

It would appear the Americans are at least campaigning...we ought to over here too.We are after all a nation of dog lovers.

I don't know where you get the notion that the 'west' is such a beacon of progressive thinking and humanity or that Koreans would be rearing a single water buffalo and working in paddy fields without the 'west'.

We can certainly apply pressure but there is not a doubt in my mind that protestors exist within SK and that if there are repercussions to come, the Koreans themselves will have played a part in bringing them about.

Balanced post (in my opinion).
