Kim Jong Un orders pet dogs to be confiscated in North Korean capital

"North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has ordered pet dogs to be confiscated in the country’s capital, saying the pooches represent Western “decadence’’ — but their owners fear Fido is really headed for someone’s dinner table.
Authorities have identified households with pet dogs and are forcing them to give them up or forcefully confiscating them and putting them down.
But while the oppressive regime says the move is to clamp down on capitalist extravagance in Pyongyang, the dog owners are fearful that given North Korea’s food shortage — and propensity for eating dog meat — the directive has only come about to feed the masses."

tRump is the same XXXXXXXXXXL size and has a lower IQ, and he hates dogs. I could see him doing that.

Trump's heroes are all disgusting. I wish there was a way they could fight back against that.

It was an anonymous source to a South Korean paper. South Korea has a well oiled industry for exaggerating stories about the north. Normally defectors are well paid to appear on the news and through other media, telling an exaggerated story to keep the South Korean people torqued off at the North. If it’s an ANONYMOUS source, then it’s super suspect. It would only be a defector, at best, or a storyteller at worst. The defectors who play this game generally are happy for the face time, so likely they’d hide their identity because this was a major whopper. If it’s someone from the South Korean government, it’s probably nonsense.

Kim Jong Un is a dick. But I still appreciate the truth, not babies-thrown-out-of-incubators-dying-on-a-Kuwaiti-hospital-floor style propaganda.

If not I hope all those dogs bite off that little dick at first chance, if they can find it, that is.
