SUMMER. It’s a time associated with renewal and life, but for the dogs and cats of South Korea the season is tantamount to death.
For this time of year marks the start of ‘Boknal,’ South Korea’s dog-eating festival. A three-week event that coincides with the height of the summer growing season.
Every year South Korean dog and cat meat markets mass slaughter thousands of animals for their flesh.
Time to reflect:
“The thought of killing, cooking, dismembering, and eating dogs is enough for most of us to lose our lunch, but there’s no rational reason why that same revulsion shouldn’t arise at the thought of eating a pig or any other animal,” she said.
“All animals about to be slaughtered feel terrified, and none wants to die. Right here in Australia, scared lambs, chickens, cows, and pigs are killed as we wilfully turn a blind eye to the fact that they’re no different from the dogs we cry for. It’s easy to point the finger at other cultures, but let’s be honest and decent enough to question our own cruel habits.”
