    Should we open dog farms to create more jobs?

    China already does

      Dog meat in China is considered taboo and is something actively fought nowadays, it’s mostly popular among the eldest and resented by the youngest. And even then, there is only one (1) place in China where a dog meat festival happens. Yulin.

      It is also kind of dishonest to ignore South Korea which does in fact have industrial dog meat farms.

      And it is very dishonest to say that China does this on an industrial scale with the government supporting this.

      It unfortunately is also all over asia… Not just China. But fortunately, there is pushback from animal rights activists.
