"North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has ordered pet dogs to be confiscated in the countrys capital, saying the pooches represent Western decadence but their owners fear Fido is really headed for someones 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 Koreas food shortage and propensity for eating dog meat the directive has only come about to feed the masses."

(2,018 posts)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 its an ANONYMOUS source, then its 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 theyd hide their identity because this was a major whopper. If its someone from the South Korean government, its 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.
