    See the hl=ko -- that selects korean! - Korean dog breeders would be like a cow rancher here. Staple meat for our diet.... mmm dog meat.... or better yet the other white meat -- cat.

    Yeah, I immediately recognized the Korean as I have been living here for a year now. By the way, dog is eaten here, but it's not as ubiquitous as you might think. Most Koreans find it disgusting and eating dog meat is slowly dying out.
