Pretty sure the Korea destination led to the last line of the story, "he will be returned to the US when his stud career is over." They sure give up awfully fast on some of these sires.

It's very strange to judge another culture by what they eat in a negative fashion. Just because we don't breed and eat dogs here, doesn't mean it's not ok to do. It's purely a cultural thing.

We have such a serious sense of grandeur over here in the land of obesity.

The folks on the Lewis and Clark expeditions ate horse, dog, wolf, and anything else they could catch. They preferred dog over horse.
Thank God for the Federal Reserve. You can't have big government or big wars without them.
