27. I can't speak to how it is done in China, but I know here in Korea

they are electrocuted. That is much worse than just chopping off the head of a turkey.

I have never seen a dog killed or the meat for sale, but I have gone past restaurants that sell dog meat. They have the live dogs outside in a cage. If you would like, I'd be happy to email pictures of these places to you. There is one about 2 miles from where I work. I happened to be over there and parked my car so I could run an errand and I noticed the restaurants. On my way back I took some pictures from the parking lot which pissed off the owners of the stores even though I was no where near their store and in a private parking lot which I was permitted to be in as a paying customer. Do you know why? They don't want their business publicized because of what they do. Even most Koreans disagree with the practice.
