Great video guys! Interesting canine factoid, the rarest dog on Earth during the '60s and '70s was the Chinese Shar pei (only 60 left in existence at the time). Why? Because Chairman Mao's Cultural Revolution banned dogs, claiming that they were consuming too much of the nation's limited food supplies and ordered all dogs destroyed(and eaten). The breed only survived because of a few dedicated breeders in Hong Kong. The breeders pleaded for help to US dog breeders and the breed was successfully brought back from near extinction. Hong Kong and the US, saving a legendary Chinese breed with a history going back over 2,000yrs. You're welcome Mao. 😊

I love your channel, but I'd like it if you didn't smear my career at the same time as going after the really crappy Chinese Medicine. It's a problem, and a really serious issue. But if you've not had treatments with me, I can see why you're skeptical. I have research that utilizes electromagnetism, so just saying we're not all dog eaters. Then again, I'm American :) Much love from Kentucky. ps dog spinal cord is a common Chinese "herb" generally people only need pig spinal cord, and only in powder, and only in one major formula. They can do it without, but the formula is substantially weaker. Anyhow I don't want to debate. I can see where you're coming from because TCM in China is so much worse ethically... it's sad. Quacks in everything, though. Especially biomedicine.

Parents, her brother in law, her other sister, niece and nephew. Basically the entire family. And we waited and waited and she never arrived. I still remember when we finally located her and went to claim the body. She was in a big freezer, wrapped in some heavy semi clear plastic. They opened the door and several frozen bodies fell out and onto the floor. I still remember the sound of the frozen bodies hitting the floor. Then they had to start peeling back the plastic around the heads, exposing each one to my father in law until they got to her. The grimace on her frozen face was the thing of horror movies. Was a horrible time for the entire family and instead of a celebration it was a mourning.

Suddenly people’s cats and dogs were going missing. Someone finally caught a guy in the act of stealing his dog from his fenced backyard. When the police got involved they found a number of refugees had dog and cat meat hanging in their kitchens. A few families also had started fires in the middle of their kitchen floors and didn’t know how to use the stove. My uncle was a police officer and told us all about it.

Oddly, Koreans believe that dog meat is an aphrodisiac. In 1979, when I was stationed in S. Korea, a guy tried to steal my dog. As I approached my house I saw a guy, wearing some type of grey uniform and uniform cap, pick up my dog, Uncle Sam, and put him into a wire cage strapped to the back of his little 50cc, Korean-made motorcycle. The cage was stuffed with about a dozen other dogs. As I yelled to the guy, he drove off in the direction of downtown Uijongbu. I sprinted back to the compound, jumped into my duty jeep, and tore out the gate in the direction of downtown. I wove in and out of traffic, passing other cars illegally and damned near ran over a woman crossing the street. I managed to catch up to the guy just as he crossed the main highway passing through the middle of the city, and I followed him into the wet market in the center of the city. I lost him in the crowd of pedestrians but eventually caught up to the motorcycle. It was parked outside of a tent and the guy wasn't around. I got out and approached the motorbike and then noticed, hanging from a tripod over a huge caldron with charcoal burning beneath and a foul smell coming from the liquid inside, the carcass of a dog, The dog hung from a chain with a steel hook through his tongue and the dog's entire weight was on the tongue. Lined up alongside the cauldron, were pieces of dogs - even heads - with the hair boiled away, for sale. I'd thought I was chasing the municipal dog catcher because Uncle Sam didn't have a collar or a license (I don't even know if there was any such thing as a dog license in Korea in those days) but realized then that the guy was just a guy who went around picking up dogs - any dogs - and selling them to dog butchers. I walked back to my Jeep and, with difficulty, managed to turn it around in that lane full of pedestrians. Then I walked back to the motorcycle, undid the chain latch holding the door closed on the wire cage, pulled out Uncle Sam, held him, and then shook the cage and yelled at the other dogs to get them to jump out of the cage. As I did so, I heard an angry voice shout in Korean, "Yaema sheepalima!(Hey, you son of a bitch)" I turned to see the guy running toward me with a guy who I presumed to be the butcher close behind. I jumped into my jeep with Uncle Sam, put it in gear and started driving through the throng while beeping my horn incessantly. The guy ran alongside the jeep and tried to open the door, but when he reached for me, I stiff-armed him in the adam's apple, and he went over backward. I eventually got out of the wet market and headed back to Camp Red Cloud as fast as I could go in the traffic and roared through the main gate without even stopping for the Korean MPs that manned the main gate. I was a US MP; and, at that time Camp Red Cloud was where I corps headquarters was located. The PMO was a joint US MP - Korean MP police station. I drove into the PMO parking lot, which was only about 50 meters from the main gate and drove around to the back side of the PMO where the jeep couldn't be seen. Then I took Uncle Sam, entered the PMO through the back door. I walked up to the main entry door and peeked out at the main gate just in time to see two light blue Korean taxis pull up and disgorge about seven very angry Koreans, including the uniformed dog kidnapper. The Koreans tried to rush through the pedestrian gate, but the Korean MPs stopped them and pushed them back out onto the street. They then began yelling in Korean at the Korean MPs and gesticulating toward the PMO. It was obvious they'd been close enough behind me to see where my jeep had gone, and they were demanding to be let onto the compound to find the American who'd stolen the dog and let all those other dogs escape. I put Uncle Sam in the interpreter's office, explained the situation to the interpreter, and asked him to walk out to the gate, listen in on the conversation between the Koreans and the Korean MPs, and then come back and tell me what was going on. He left for the gate. Meanwhile, First Sergeant Womack, came into the PMO to begin his evening shift as Duty Officer. He looked at me and then said to me in that deep southern drawl of his, "O'Handley, why do I get the feeling you have something to do with the ruckus that's currently transpiring outside my main gate?" I knew there wasn't much point in denying it because he'd obviously read it on my face, so I told him what had happened. Hearing the story, Womack, who was an avid hunter and had told me about his beloved hunting dog back home, said, "Well, I'll tell you what, Bub. They ain't no stinkin' dog-eater, going to take any dog off this compound tonight. Especially one that belongs to one of my soldiers. Just lay low here in the PMO for the night and fer crissakes keep the dog from yappin." I was relieved and thanked him. Shortly after that the interpreter came in and told me that the dog stealer was demanding the right to make a SOFA (Status of Forces Agreement) complaint against the American that had stolen a dog from him and released his day's catch and had cost him thousands of Won. The First Sergeant walked over and told the interpreter to go back to the gate and ensure that the Korean MPs explained to the guy that unless he could positively name the perpetrator, he wasn't going to get any cooperation from the American MPs unless he went downtown, swore out a complaint with the civilian police, and they came back with a warrant for the American wherein he was named. By now a large crowd of Koreans had gathered around the gate and was backing the dog napper up. We watched through the window as the interpreter went out to the gate, informed the Korean MPs, they informed the complainant and then the crowd dispersed. The First Sergeant then said to me, "O'Handley, you might wanna sleep up in the barracks for the next couple of nights instead of going to your off-post hooch, until this dies down a bit. Just keep that dog quiet. We don't want word to get out that someone has a dog on post staying in the barracks." It was two days before I returned to my off-post apartment with Uncle Sam. It broke our hearts, but my girl and I decided that the best way to protect Sam was to give him away to someone that lived in an area where he'd be safe. She knew a girl married to an American officer in Yongsan who lived off-post in Seoul in a gated community where dogs were allowed and were safe from dog hunters. She contacted her and the girl and her husband agreed to take Sam and said they'd bring him back to the US when they returned to CONUS in a few months. We said our goodbyes to Sam and never saw him again. I saw that dog hunter several more times during my tour, but he didn't recognize me. On the day of the event, I'd been wearing my uniform, but normally, because I was an MPI investigator, I was dressed in civilian clothes. The guy walked right by me twice when I was in civilian clothes without recognizing me. Dog eating was supposedly outlawed in Korea prior to the '88 Olympics but when I returned to Korea in '93 for my last overseas tour I saw dogmeat still openly being sold in markets all over Seoul. My wife's nephew, who is a cop in Korea, tells me that dogs are still eaten in Korea to this day and that they (the police) are told to ignore it.

But the way they kill and treat the dogs in China is horrific

[@nanaholic01]

It's not even Asian - all cultures around the world eat strange meat at one point in time because meat is a rich source of protein and energy that is good for survival, and if you killed the game, you ARE going to eat it and not let it go to waste if that meat isn't going to kill you. We've abandoned most of that when humans moved away from the hunting way of life, plus with the industrial revolution we focused our resources to raise the most efficient meat producing animals (cows, pigs and chicken) for our consumption and stopped consuming these small animals which have a low muscle masses to body ratio - that's just how our lifestyle as homo sapiens have changed, and it's not morally superior/inferior to another when it comes to which meat each culture chooses to consume. So as they said in this video, there's no point in engaging the whataboutism of meat consumption in different cultures, the issues is about how the meat is obtained and treated in the current Chinese culture specifically - like stealing people's pet dog which is just disgusting.

This reminded me of a conversation I had with a Chinese person who said that they don't eat bats online. I literally sent her a link of a Chinese person having bat soup. A couple of links actually. And not a word was said. Why the heck do they have to lie? They can't even accept these simple truths about their culture. It's so bizarre. Yes, not all Chinese people eat bat or dog. But to take offense for the actions of others is unwarranted and unnecessary.

What's "normal" to them is not "normal" to you.

Dogs are generally living in miserable conditions in China and lots of them may have mental issues under constant threats and isolation, and Chinese people are nevertheless living under anxiety and fear just as dogs do. Cannibalism used to be rampant in ancient times under famine in China to the extent that there were markets of human flesh where people came to buy human meat or sell their family members (usually young wife of the son or small children) to be slaughtered in Ming dynasty.

I'm a patron of ADV China, and a vegan. I live in South Korea. I see dog meat around here occasionally. It isn't exactly popular, but it's easy to find. I saw dog meat being sold in India too. Although I don't eat any animal products and haven't for over 5 years, dog meat definitely provokes more of a gut reaction in me than other meat, but I recognise that is because of my cultural heritage in the UK. On a logical level, it's no worse than eating other animals. I think that the denialism over dog meat in China is not that different from the way that people turn a blind eye to how bad the "acceptable" meat industries are in the rest of the world. Even in my homeland of the UK where there are supposed to be animal welfare laws, it doesn't look that different from these images of Chinese dog meat farms sometimes. I worked in animal agriculture, it's part of why I became vegan.

I lived in Mongolia（外蒙古）from 2006 to 2008 (and I loved China so would make frequent trips to Beijing). One time I was driving one summer in my Hummer H3 (great truck for Mongolia) on what passes for a highway well west of Ulaanbaatar. The road had just been resurfaced by the Chinese for the Mongols, so it hadn't yet seen the 176 (yes!) degrees F yearly temperature cycle, so it was pristine. So I'm driving at 70+ mph, go over a rise and the resurfaced road abruptly ends without warning (of course). The old road looked like it had been bombed many times, completely covered in huge potholes, many of which were meters wide and deep. Fortunately I was (barely) able to stop in time, but the road was so useless that there were numerous improvised off road vehicle trails winding in parallel to the road on both sides for many miles, which is how drivers coped with a highway completely destroyed by summer/winter cycles. Thanks for reminding me!

Another reason trucks are off the highway is ticket racketeering. Cops in China get part of every ticket they issue, a massive conflict of interest. We're not just talking speed traps we're talking roads allegedly intentionally designed to trip up drivers. Also many areas have strict weight limits but allow trucks near the weight limit to be sold (I.E. 4 ton truck, 5 ton weight limit). Cities being jerks with fines isn't uncommon across the world but like everything else this gets extreme in China.

Hi Matt and Winston, Another American here. One of the big things I dislike most about the consumption of Dog meat in Chinese society is not just the fact that dog meat is consumed, it is the fact that such a giant percentage of dog meat consumed is the meat of other people's stolen pets. Some Americans eat pig meat, and will not deny this if it is asked by a foreign person, but some Americans also keep pigs as pets. That being said, even the Americans who eat pig meat would never consider eating the pork meat from some else's pet pig. Additionally, stealing someone else's pet pig so as to obtain pig meat would be viewed as being completely unacceptable. Great Video as always, and thank you for shedding some light on this subject.

It’s very different there compared to the Chinese cities that I have been to. Anyway in East and North Thailand there are big trucks that drive around buying dogs which they then take to China for eating. They only pay a few cents for a dog or swap a dog for a plastic bowl or bucket.. a Family that I know had a dog called Boon Raud, he was troublesome and bit people occasionally, he bit me once though it was my fault on that occasion and I generally got on well with Boon Raud as long as I respected his space.. anyway one day Boon Raud was gone I learned that he’d been swapped for a new plastic bucket and was on the truck to China.. very sad and if you don’t know what happens to those dogs (I don’t mean the eating bit) I suggest you do not research it unless you are or a strong disposition.. you can never unsee images of such cruelty.. it’s because the Chinese do that in order that the adrenaline from a terrified dog makes it taste better.

Claiming it's only rural areas is also a deflection - they literally showed maps showing dog meat shops in just about every place in the East - including Beijing and Shanghai. So, that it might be rural culture may be (or not) but claiming it doesn't happen someplace is part of that deny and deflect cultural thing that the guys are actually addressing.
