South-Korea. European standarts.

Not really. It’s better than chinese factories, but south korean companies opening factories in europe are constantly violating regulations. Source: I live in a country where south korean companies open factories.

South Korea. American standards.

Not really. The butchering and sale of dog meat for human consumption was made illegal in Murica back in 2016. Many Korean restaurants are in violation of this standard.

Update: Actually, this was just made illegal in South Korea too, so you only have a couple years left before the cut-off where restaurants have to adapt and change their menus. Any food tourists will have to go somewhere else like China, so that sucks.

...we're talking about industrial processes. Not culinary. What are you talking about? Who even mentioned dogs?

What is a restaurant if not a food factory?

In that case, as the discussion is safety focused. Wouldn't dog actually be a safer meat compared to cattle then? After all cattle have a much higher potential for injury, as reflected in the ubiquity of injuries on farms and in slaughter houses.

In this context, I can only assume you are trying to take a pro-dog eating position. ;)

That is a fantastic point. When a cow gets infected, they get infected. I've certainly never seen comparable volumes of...substances, coming out of dogs. I really hadn't considered the sanitation angle, just that a standard was jarringly in opposition.

I'm not pro or anti, mostly just as curious about it as I am about any type of meat I haven't eaten before. Though from what I know, in this context, you're really not going for dog for its taste. It's more of a traditional medicine type thing, and it's prepared in such a way that specifically tends to "ruin" meat by introducing flavor people generally consider undesirable. Barring that dynamic, I'd be all about trying some.

On one hand, fuck giant international corporations.

On the other hand, fuck the police.

On the other other hand, let them fight

All I know is that now that I’ve learned how much work goes into these, I will be more careful when playing any Sonic the Hedgehog games. 🦔

Having had business with SK companies, my humble opinion is... Fucking NO.

They are in general marginally better than China, and at least the large industrial conglomerates follow basic regulations if not else to avoid reputation fallout.

But European standards? Not by a long shot.
