I'm not concerned for our Country. I was alarmed to read that People,
anywhere, would do such a thing.

That is because of the SOCIETY you were raised in. Its perfectly acceptable
to eat dog in other parts of the world. I served in Korea in 93 and 94. Most
Koreans dont eat dog, but its acceptable. Dog is not a staple in Korean
society like a lot of people make it out to be. It is considered a health
food and is served mostly in places like the top of Soyu Mountain although
you will see it skinned and hanging in some downtown shops. Just because, I
tried it, and it is really bad. And it is usually eaten in small quantities.
And like a previous poster mentioned, they are raised for that purpose. They
only eat one kind of dog, which to me (I saw them alive in pens and they all
looked alike) looked like a curly tailed short hair terrier, about the size
of a small Pit Bull but not as muscular.
