A man in South Korea is accused of a particularly cruel situation that involves his neighbor, and his neighbor’s dog. According to the Guardian, the unnamed 62-year-old man admitted to the authorities that he was so frustrated with the barking from his neighbor’s Corgi that he threw rocks at the dog – when the dog lost consciousness, he strangled it.
What allegedly followed is truly sick – the dog killer invited the pet’s owner and family to dinner, not telling the neighbors that the main course was their recently killed dog.
According to the South China Morning Post, a petition asking for the dog killer to be punished has garnered over 15,000 signatures.
Dog meat consumption in South Korea
The consumption of dog meat in South Korea has been happening for decades – recently, however, animal rights activists have brought the controversial practice into the worldwide spotlight. Despite calls to end the consumption of dog meat, upwards of 1 million dogs are eaten each year by residents in the nation. When the winter Olympics were taking place, the government issued a request for dog meat to be removed from restaurant menus…despite the request, eating establishments were defiant and man chose to keep the controversial entree on the menu.

Barbaric nation. Unless we cut them off from everything until it is stopped permentally, this will continue.
What kind of “sick” actions is this? Please get this man away from society, I can’t imagine living near such a monster!
There is a special place in Hell reserved and waiting for this POS neighbor…… Hope he gets there ASAP (after dying a horrible death alone, in pain, afraid and unloved)……
RIP to the poor puppy, the TRUE victim in this situation…… whilst I would normally send condolences to the family, I admit I have very mixed feelings (if the family had turned down the neighbors’ invitation to a “dogmeat” dinner, absolutely send condolences…… BUT if the family was willing to eat a dogmeat dinner…… not so certain about condolences…….)
That is so evil
Thisnis pathetic ana disgusting this man needs to go to jail and tortured
Omg! The neighbor from hell!!!Really…A VERY sick individual! Get him off the street…
THIS IS A SERIOUSLY SICK MAN. HE NEEDS TO BE PUT AWAY.
South Korea seems to breed some real monsters over there.
If this POS did that to me & my pet. He’d be fucking dead!!!!
That’s an Asian country for you….millions of dogs are consumed each year throughout Asia. These dogs are not humanly euthanized. They are skinned alive, boiled alive, burnt to death among other barbaric acts. Totally heartbreaking! Please check out KoreanDogs.org. Lots of websites on this subject
It is a sick disgusting way they kill the dogs. It needs to stop. More exposure needs to be brought to this heinous act so the whole world can see. More pressure then can be put on them to stop this. The only small ray of hope is that new generations are not wanting to eat dog meat so hopefully there will no longer be a market for it and restaurants will stop serving it. Since there will be no market for it then dog meat farms will shut down because of no profit. But this is a long way off unfortunately.
Boycott this disgusting country, most of their people are missing compassion and a heart. I refuse to spend one penny of my money or one day of my life in a country where people treat animals so heinous!
I hope this murderer of this innocent dog is held accountable, he should be shamed and stoned to death by his community. RIP sweet l Corgi
Punish that asshole!
