After a game and a half, it’s 18 pens and a DG.

Thought French rugby was supposed to be an easy watch!

The dog in VDF was excellent.
In my view only an absolute psychopath would consider eating such a glorious animal as a dog, whether baited into position or bred to be eaten.

Unless you're Korean of course, in which case it is as much the accepted norm there as eating beef, pork or poultry is here. :duck:

Why VDF would want to get a dog into him before such an important match though beggers belief. :shock:
My brother-in-law is married to a S Korean and I have to correct you on that one. While dog meat is still consumed there (like several other countries including Switzerland), it is far from "the accepted norm" and is in steep decline. They have an Italian greyhound and haven't been tempted to eat him once! There's not much meat on him mind :lol:
Oh deary me - I'm distraught at getting something else wrong. :sleeping:

I still can't help thinking though that you missed the main point of my post. :duck:

No, I got it, but given my Korean "connection" I just thought it would be somewhat remiss of me not to address the common misconception about the extent of dog meat consumption there. :)

I didn't mention the extent of dog meat consumption over there.

I mentioned the acceptance of it.

Red meat consumption is in decline over here, but it is still an accepted norm.

Well, I'll challenge the acceptance then. It's frowned upon amongst the very large younger urban populace while it is not forbidden to eat dog meat, to kill a dog for specifically it's meat is outlawed in most parts of the country.

Challenge away.

Lots of vegetarians and vegans over here, and increasing in number all the time (poor sods :lol: ).

I would suggest that even if they became a majority, eating beef or whatever would still be an accepted norm.

Any way - challenge away some more if you feel like it, I'm bored of this now. It's a pointless exercise even if one of us could prove they were right.

I sometimes like pointless exercises. Sometimes I can't be bothered.

Hope Son's da makes sure it's not too hot. If he burnt his mouth even slightly, he'd fall down and roll around like he was shot?

90% of dogs in Korea are inbred.

The other 10% are in soup or in stew.
