    Just miles from the Winter Olympics in Pyeongchang, South Korea, is the grim and heart-wrenching scene of a Korean dog meatfarm. @usatodaysports reporters went there. This is what they found: https://usat.ly/2ChQuzC  #Olympics2018 #Olympicspic.twitter.com/95QOlyX9rU

        Such horror💔 Cruelty can never be considered culture! There’s no such thing as “meat #dog” and “pet dog”. ALL #dogs are love, service, therapy, police etc... @TheBlueHouseKR @moonriver365 can you feel the worlds resolve to expose & end this hell? It’s growing stronger! #olympics

        I love dogs and will never eat it but not a vegetarian. We do the same to pigs, cattle, fish and so on. We're slaughtering poor animals left and right.

        See this tweet here is about the barbaric #dogmeattrade not the horrible farming industry. I’m a #vegan and fight it all. Please stop comparing as that serves to help no #animal. Killing one does NOT justify killing others. #SouthKorea #EndDogMeatTrade #Olympics #TeamUSA

        #dogmeat is not culture> it’s brainwashing of people b/c it’s an easily bred source of meat, it’s all about greed$$$. Many people in these countries do not recognize animals as sentient beings, it’s obvious in the exploitation/abuse of many creatures.

        The world must band together and force/shame the Asian countries to follow international humane standards of all animals/wildlife and stop the horrible exploitation/cruelty of so many. The dogmeat industry, dogmeat festivals, etc are the worse of the worst. #China #Korea #Asia

        I guess (while it is a sad sight) people need to remember that they are a different culture. They hold different beliefs, traditions, and all around lifestyles. Then stop to think that some things we do may seem appalling to the rest of the world.

        It’s not culture, it’s animal cruelty and it’s an easy animal to breed, torture and make money off of-and just because it’s so-called culture doesn’t mean it should exist.

        This is not culture its zero empathy and #AnimalCruelty and violence. The #DogCatMeatTrade is run by abusers, crooks and bullies .@moonriver365 has shown no courage in ending this vile trade. There is a link between abuse and crime in society.https://asiancorrespondent.com/2017/08/8-10-men-south-korean-admit-violence-women/#vLAy8afmZRmZQ4pf.97 …
