Dogs have been loyal, loving companions in our homes and partners in our work for 15,000 years: they are family members. For a tribe of humans to devolve to the level where it can regard these creatures as food is a local breakdown of the process of civilization. Most Americans are nauseated--as well as angered to the point of irrationality--by the idea of anyone eating dog meat.

Independently saying almost the exact same thing I have been saying in the thread.
Did we read each other's posts? No.
What we have in common is an adequate grasp on the history of human beings.
There's just no other way to look at the issue when you do.
Cultures which eat dogs aren't just different and quirky and cute, they grossly betrayed dogs.
Thinking at the time only humans have the awareness to judge such attrocities, and since they were the only humans around, they just dug in, high fived eachother and drank ale (or fermented dog hair or whatever).
Well now they aren't the only humans around and we know, the spotlight has fallen on their guilty faces, still greasy with dog fat.
We know they betrayed dogs in the most vile way while we held them up on pedestals, adequately and appropriately thanking them for their hardwork which got us to where we are.
It's our obligation to slander and deride this mutant element of their culture on behalf of the loyal hardworking dogs they stabbed in the back.
Not celebrate it, not shrug and laugh and say "those zany koreans" to eachother, then bow to them and say "you honour us with your teachings". They should be ashamed of themselves.
We shoud say to eachother "they did what?" and turn to them and say "you did what you sick motherf*ckers?
Last time we saw you guys you were relying on dogs for supplying your food and protection, they were getting you started in agrictulture, and obviously they've since civilised you, as they have us, and given you an out of this world level of comfort and safety from the demands of natural selection.
We have since stayed loyal to the relationship and our work together has payed off for both of us.
But you just turned on them once they were no longer necessarry, and started eating them?
Well, that is unmistakabley a diabolically treacherous and disgusting act, and your whole culture can go straight to f*cking hell for it".
Meanwhile the koreans would stand there, eyes to the ground, red faced, shuffling in the dirt, knowing that they've been caught in the most sickening betrayal in human history. Litterally, that's not hyperbole.
