Specifically for South Korea: Most horrifically, there is a widely held belief that in order to produce tender meat, dogs should have high adrenaline levels right before they die. To achieve this, dogs are sadistically made to experience e

I am surprised that nothing is mentioned about weather, as people have been moving to cities that are dependent on air conditioning. It estimates that about 1% of the population [of Phoenix], or 13,250 people, would die, and half the city,
