Your morning "Awwww"

From the Christian Science Monitor:

"Protesters from the Korea Association for Animal Protection participated in a demonstration near Seoul's city hall on Tuesday. The protest was held to oppose the Seoul Metropolitan Government's proposal that dogs be categorized as livestock to regulate the dog meat industry and strengthen public sanitation inspections. The categorization of livestock would allow for the mass breeding and butchering of dogs and serving of their meat in restaurants. The dogs' collars read (l. to r.) 'My name is Hosoo. I am your friend,' and, 'My name is Choonja. Please don't eat Choonja.'"

"Please don't eat Choonja"?!? Come on now, if that doesn't make you go "awwww" you've got a dried-up little raisin where your heart should be.

Whatever happened

to a man looking for a good wife and finding a young bitch still clinging to her rawhide bone?

"NEW DELHI - A man in southern India married a female dog in a traditional Hindu ceremony as an attempt to atone for stoning two other dogs to death — an act he believes cursed him — a newspaper reported Tuesday."

Before the "slippery slope" crowd spins a bearing, this little wedding ceremony is more or less the equivalent of adopting a dog from the SPCA (other than the superstitious aspect). I don't know how effective little Selvi will be at curing what ails this guy, but adopting her goes a little way towards making up for his past dog abuse. As long as the rest of the family keeps an eye on her.
