A
dog may be man’s best friend
But
in many places our canines are subject to troubling trend
In
parts of the world a dog is subject to an unwelcome fate
In
places like South Korea he is destined to be served up on a plate
An
estimated 1,000,000 dogs annually are eaten at South Korean meals
A
city court has ruled against a dog farm owner as a first step for the practice
to repeal
Legislation
has been introduced to ban the slaughter at the nation’s 17,000 dog farms for
use as meat
Rising
number of Koreans are declining on chomping of Fido means the measure may not
go down to defeat
Today
more tails may be wagging with tongues wanting to human faces lick
With
chances of ending a practice, animal
lovers view with distaste and sick
With
South Korea leading the no more dog meat crusade on plates to display
China,
Vietnam, and Nigeria may ban farms from canines to be slayed
