All mammals are quite smart.
Dogs are among the smartest, and they can figure out what is going on.
This appetite that Koreans have for dogs is sickening.

I agree.
If meat is so hard to come by, to become vegetarians won't hurt them a bit, on the contrary.
They don't have to eat everything that moves in order to survive.
Savages!
Vegetarianism is not a modern option.
We do need to farm and ranch ever square inch of land on this Earth to feed everybody.
We are NOT even feeding everybody now even. There is widespread famine in Africa. We just ignore it.
All of our hills and mountains which are not arable should have sheep and goats on them.
All the poor quality land everywhere should have sheep and steers on it.
Anything arable should be growing grains.
We also need vegies and fruits too.
But it is sickening that anyone would eat dogs or cats.
Horses become pet food fairly commonly. I don't have a problem with that. Old cows and old bulls become pet food too.
Cows support our dairy industry.
Chickens support our egg industry. We also eat a lot of chickens.
We eat a lot of pigs too.
When the population of the Earth approaches 10 billion, only chicken and farmed fish will be affordable, and goats, sheep and steers will be luxury food for the rich only.
That's what we are heading for in terms of Malthusianism.
