1/19: Our man-eat-dog world

[Undertoad]

This is a series, not just one image, because none of these images alone is good enough, but together they ARE good enough for IotD, in my opinion.

It turns out that the World Cup, being hosted in S. Korea this time, is digging up the issue of dog eating, a practice which is part of the S. Korean culture.

It turns out that FIFA, the international controlling organization of football [soccer], has asked S. Korea to ban it. Along with Brigitte Bardot. I'm sorry, I'll write that again. FIFA and Brigitte Bardot have asked S. Korea to ban dog eating. The eating of Brigitte Bardot is regulated by other laws.

The dogs above have been et by now.



Legend: the purple countries are dog-eating countries. In the asterisked countries, dog-eating is only by religious or ethnic minorities. Where there is a brown "portion" (or whatever that is), dogs are considered a delicacy. Where there is an empty bowl, dog-eating only happens during famine. Where there is a red circle/slash, dog-eating is officially banned.



And this is what it looks like when prepared.
