Some Korean people who enjoy eating dog meat like to watch the animal being tortured to death before they sit down to eat it because they feel that the fear and pain the animal endures before it dies saturates the dogs flesh with adrenalin. This somehow improves the meat which may somehow improve the meat-eaters virility.
To get the tortured meat ‘right’, the dog is hanged and beaten until every bone in its body is broken as it is slowly choked, but before it dies it is de-haired alive with a common blowtorch. Cats are pulverized with hammers then boiled alive to make a tonic favored by elderly women.
