In spite of a 1991 law that prohibits the human consumption of dogs and cats, a flourishing industry exists within the markets of South Korea.
Cats are also consumed in Korea.While many Koreans regard dogs as companions,
cats are often looked upon as pests and thus suffer worse cruelty. Companions and strays alike may be killed by being placed in sacks and pounded against the ground. Sometimes, while still alive, cats are thrown into large pots of boiling water and cooked until liquefied into cat juice, which dealers claim will cure rheumatism.

dogs and was told over and over again that it didnt happen anymore. You can imagine my shock and horror upon getting lost in one of the huge markets in downtown Taegu. I looked down and saw the head of a dog with its legs stuffed in its mouth. I saw limbs that were skinned. Everywhere I turned there were dogs in cages. The smell was overwhelming. That market, that sweltering hot August day, was what I envisioned hell to be like.
