God, that's like a step away from a Japanese Association of Happy Whaling.
Western propaganda always told me it was the North Koreans and Chinese that eat dogs.
The Swiss do it too
Is that why the Swiss love chocolate? Because it also kills dogs?
I also heard that dogs die if you feed them Nazi gold. I think you're onto something.
Once again 
Do they actually?
Yeah it's a long tradition, hundreds of thousands of Swiss people eat dog meat, especially on Christmas. It's a sizeable minority of the population that eat it, same goes for China and Korea; most people don't but it's still relatively common especially in older and more rural folk
lol you beat me to it
im like meh because humans kill billions of pigs, sheeps, cows etc that aren't too different from dogs or cats.
Pigs at least are very close. Cows less so, though that doesn't mean industrial slaughter is okay. Idk about sheep.
i meant they are all mammals and feel pain similarly.
If only Nick Mullen were alive to read this headline 
he died a warriors death, getting diced into wonton meat by the triads
Didn't he die in some kind of dick-sucking accident?
The two statements are not incompatible.
He joined Ronaldo Fink in Heaven
and Yoon and his wife Kim Keon Hee are owners of six dogs, including a retired guide dog and a rescue dog.
They seriously just drop the fact that the South Korean president has SIX dogs and just move on from that. Obviously they're rich and can just pay people to care for them, but that's a lot of animals.
Commander Biden enters the chat
Idk if it's relevant but it's not that strange in rural settings to have a bunch of dogs, not that that's the case here. Just that a family having many dogs isn't so bizarre.

Am I wrong to say this is a case of orientalism/trying to adjust to "western" norms by the South Korean government?
Probably not the case, sure it's a tradition especially in certain parts of the country, but most Koreans nowadays (and the vast majority of young people and urban people) are against it. 80% of Koreans and 70% of Chinese people have never even eaten dog meat in their life, and a lot of them have dogs as pets. Bonds being commonly formed with an animal would pretty much naturally make a group of people value that animal's life more
Also there's a poll showing most young Koreans that have eaten dog meat did so despite not wanting to; only ate it because their elders pressured them to
