Westerners and well-off Khmers are paying up to $500 for these dog breeds now. I doubt they are being cooked on the BBQ. I'm sure they can get good money selling them back to high-end pet shops. I seem to remember that I worked with someone who had her dog stolen from the first floor balcony of her apartment while she was asleep. Unfortunately, the locals have realised that they can get good money for dogs that are not the regular breed found wondering the streets.

If the dogs are wandering the streets, in my opinion, you are welcome to them. I wish someone would take my neighbour's (?) dogs, he doesn't t take care of them and they tear my garbage apart and shit on my lawn. Soi dogs and "no owner" dogs are a huge pain in the ass, half of them should be put out of their misery and the other half spayed or neutered.

In South Korea, there is a distinction between dogs for food and dogs for pets. Dogs for food are bred and raised on farms, like cows, chickens, etc. Pet dogs are never eaten and food dogs are never seen.

How can you tell the difference ?

Dog farms sounds so much nicer than what really is going on. I assume you are Korean American.

30,000,000 dogs are killed and eaten in Asia each year.

Although accurate figures are difficult to obtain, China is believed to be responsible for the majority of global cases of cat and dog slaughter. Each year, around four million cats and 10 million dogs are believed to be slaughtered in the country. The Humane Society says the majority are stolen pets and strays that are captured and kept in cages.

In South Korea, dog meat dishes are so common that they have their own name - Gaegogi. The country has an estimated 17,000 dog farms, according to the Humane Society, where animals are routinely prepared for human consumption.

In Vietnam around five million dogs are believed to be slaughtered for eating in the country each year.
And the demand has led to an illegal trade from neighbouring countries, including Thailand, Cambodia and Laos.



It is legal to eat dog meat in 43 of the states in America. You can be sure that there are Asians chowing down on "Rover" in America
