no, the point is about the hypocrisy in being outraged at people eating dog when they eat pigs, cows, lambs, sheep, chicken and other animals
Do angry vegans turn you against going vegan?

Except there's no evidence provided in that article that significant numbers are outraged. And without evidence of that it's just a load of transparently manipulative nonsense.

Are they? Who is outraged? How is this outrage manifesting itself?
Can you point me to any evidence at all which supports the claim that "the west has gone into shock mode" made by the author of this article and taken up by you as if it's gospel?

Fair point, but this only really says people don't get a chance to balk at eating rabbit, as it's not on the menu in the first place.

Crap comedians have been making shit racist jokes about Koreans eating dogs for decades. This is not news.

It's really quite sad that you have descended to such levels of bullshit. I can only assume that you're feeling a bit hangry today...

Might have been news to some that some Koreans still do, I guess.
But most of the talk I've heard about these Olympics has focused on the curling, the skeleton and those snowboard mentalists.
Though some people might have been talking about it. Can be hard to tell what's going on in the other echo chambers these days...

Do angry vegans turn me against going vegan? No, but they certainly don't do anything to persuade with posts like this

Although eating dogs isn’t quite legal in Korea. The history of it is complicated and there’s a bit of racism in the simplistic way it is covered by the media at times.
The current situation as I understand it is an unfortunate grey area where dogs do not even have the same legal status as livestock due to past legal bungling and manoeuvring.

...seems like a fair point if you see intelligence as some kind of important cut-off point. Which I’d guess a lot of people do.

On this thread, or elsewhere (I’d expect the latter should be easy).

What other deciding factors might there be to this curious conundrum? Cuddliness? Domesticity?

I still haven't seen any evidence that significant numbers of people, full on meat eaters or not, really are expressing particular concern about the supposed Korean habit of eating dog.
Is this just one of these times when if a few people repeat something often enough it becomes an accepted fact?

That’s two, yes.

Oh come on. I don't think it's too much of a leap to assume that a fairly large percentage of people in a dog loving country like the UK are going to find the notion of eating dogs unpleasant.

Most South Koreans are against the disgusting practice too:
South Koreans are increasingly turning their backs on cruel dog meat trade

That may or may not be correct, but that's not what has been asserted in the Guardian article posted up thread.
For the record, I don't particularly like dogs, and I would find the idea of eating them not to my taste (for a variety of cultural reasons, I guess) but that doesn't mean I'm outraged by the fact that some people from another culture and in another country might find it perfectly acceptable.
