Worked and lived in South Korea 2000-2003. On my commute to work I drove past a very nice restaurant, they had about 50 kennels behind the building. One day my wife was riding with me and commented "they must really like dogs to have so many". I laughed, and she was horrified when I told her that they were on the menu.
I was told the when Korea was chosen for the 1988 Olympics there was a push to stop eating dogs. So places that specialized in serving dog labelled them selves as "Healthy Eating".
When i was there it was becoming popular to have small dogs as womens accessories (al a Paris Hilton style). We often saw women bring their little dogs into restaurants and hold them in their laps and share their meal with them.
