We like to think of cute little puppies like Napoleon...

...or faithful friends like Jesse...

...or slightly larger puppies like Basil, whom we deeply love, and who are members of our families their entire lives.

Reality

(The Dog - Meat - 34)  This photo, of what appears to be an ungutted roasted dog lying on top of a cage of living dogs, was taken at the Moran Market outside of Seoul, Korea.  Not only was the roasted dog tortured to death, but they use the dead body to torment the still living dogs.  In our opinion, this is not a national tradition; it is a national disgrace.

If these reality photos are disturbing, and you don't believe such things should be done to dogs, then set the proper example by not doing such things to any animals, and by not supporting those who do.  Stop eating or wearing animal products or supporting any activity that exploits animals, and tell others why you stopped.
