In your article it disputes what you say. It says dogs require certain nutriants only animal bases products can give!

Sure they can but is it beneficial? No!

There are certain vitamins but you can get them as a supplement. Of course it can be done. So, why dies one animal have more value than another for food?

Meanwhile, 1.5 million shelter animals are euthanized a year to make way for space in animal shelters. We'd be doing earth a service by eating those animals. It's really twisted how Americans think about meat.

I agree with this. At least being eaten is a purposeful death.

How are these dogs being allowed to fly over? When I moved overseas for work and wanted to bring my (completely healthy, up to date shots) dog, it was almost impossible. But we're letting random dogs just fly over?

Dog meat is extremely unhealthy for people. Wanna get rabies? https://www.onegreenplanet.org/animalsandnature/major-human-health-concerns-associated-with-the-dog-meat-trade/

Dogs have been considered our companions for thousands of years. Dogs are literally tortured to death and you call it a "purposeful death?'

Here is a video of dogs being blow torched alive in China
https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/asia/yulin-dog-meat-festival-video-china-blow-torch-animal-cruelty-a8969361.html

If you don't have any interest in this topic and don't want to help fine. But, dogs have been coming from around the world for ages and no one ever critizes that! My neighbors got dogs from Bosnia!

Anyone who is indifferent to this practice of eating dogs or cats are inhumane.

Eating an animal is not inhumane. How you treat that animal to be eaten is what is inhumane, but that could be said of torturing cows and pigs, too.

Eating dogs is inhumane. Did you watch the video? We could improve our treatment of other animals. How is blow torching or shocking a dog going to help a cow and pig. Both are wrong! You don't solve one problem by creating another

Thank goodness this practice in South Korea has been banned.

There are enough dogs being euthanized in the US that this is not ok. If you care about animals you'd be a vegetarian and feed your dogs and animals a vegetarian diet. It's silly to argue value in one animal over another.

This seems completely shady. They have people checking in the dogs as their own and handing them over to the rescues to resell.

If this were legal, the rescues would bring the dogs over themselves directly.

First of all, dogs need to eat meat to be healthy. My dog is not going to be vegetarian.

Second, you seem to think dog meat and other meat ( chicken, cow, etc) are all the same. They are not. Dog meat is quite unhealthy for human consumption. I will post my information again : https://www.onegreenplanet.org/animalsandnature/major-human-health-concerns-associated-with-the-dog-meat-trade/

Third you can help dogs in this country AND also around the world. It's like sending money after an Earthquake in California and Italy. We send help to those we can. To me eating dogs who have been our companions is unethical and inhumane. I do wish we killed cows, pigs etc more humanely.

And what do you mean shady? You said yourself that rescues here have their hands full. If you don't care about these dogs why do you feel the need to comment? Why do you care if other people are rescuing dogs?

It is all the same. Be real.

Completely shady. The residues are not bringing these digs over legally. They are having people pretend they are their pets.

Seems shady to transport dogs as Pets so a rescue can build inventory of dogs to sell. It won't be long before the Korean market starts to create puppy mills just so they can sell dogs to the United States rescues. So rescues are ensuring the dogs will be bred and kept in bad conditions whether to be fed or to sold to the US. Great job rescues. Great job.

The issue is the rescue isn't bringing them over, they are getting individuals to fly them in as pets and then take ownership. Why cannot the rescue pay and fly them in themselves. Its very shady.

Given how many dogs are euthanized every day in the US, why not focus on finding them homes?

You are 100% correct.

I feel SO bad for these dogs and hope for a ban on dogs for food. I don't know what to say, we keep shipping in dogs from other states and countries and there are not enough homes for them here! Our local "rescues" can't find foster homes, they beg and plead for someone to take in "new dogs that just arrived from North Carolina". This woman on our neighborhood facebook page needed to rehome a dog she had inherited due to valid reasons. NONE of the local rescues returned her calls or emails and then some would not help her. Said rescues were basically shamed into helping her and only did so by listing her dog on their site. (She finally found a home for her dog) Yet, these same rescues then go and get dogs from other states!? They are "non profits" that end up selling the dogs for $$, they get the tax benefits of running a non profit in their homes and get to write off their acreage and yet don't help the dogs in their own towns. I feel so let down by rescues now and see them for what they really are, money making ventures. I suppose they are the smart ones, they found a loop hole!

Who can I write to to outlaw this? Who would regulate dogs being imported illegally by people saying they're their pets? USDA?

Also, this will harm our own dogs in our own shelters who now have to compete with owners. Hundreds of dogs are already euthanized daily, why not help those?

That's the way of the world. Chickens can be pets but they have been used for their eggs and dinner for a long time. If you don't want to eat chicken great.

Didn't Franklin Roosevelt promise everyone a " chicken in every pot?"

Lastly, this topic is about rescuing dogs from South Korea . I suggest you start a thread about chickens or cows and why we value some animals over others?

Btw I don't see rats or squirels as pets but I have no desire to eat them.

I hope no one helps you for being so mean and petty! I doubt we are getting that many dogs and why don't you do more to help dogs here?

If you think rescues make money why don't you prove it? Do you think dogs should be given away? Dogs are expensive and if get something you know it isn't valued.

Does $800 an up for a dog sound like a reasonable amount for a rescue to charge? That is not an adoption fee. That is flat out selling.

I help people not dogs. My dogs are very well cared for. Why don't you do more to help those dogs here already on the list to be euthanized? Why aren't their lives equally worthy?

That's how much a breeder can charge. It makes no sense given they are non-profits and get donations, tax breaks, grants and more. The goal is to have a home for the dog so give them for free given the recuses get them for free.

You are killing other animals to feed the dogs you "saved." So, how many fish, chickens, turkeys, cows and other animals were harmed for your dog.

All animals should be equally valued and not be consumed as food.
