Typical

On my way to work I passed by this particular cage. This is fairly common in Korea- they have no regard for animals here so dogs wander the streets without leashes, eat out of trash bins and are often kept in "cages" like this (basically just a fence.) This guy had a gash on his left side, probably inflicted by the owner.


The bandage, if you can call it that, was used to cover a two to three inch gash in his left shoulder. Koreans are notorious for a delightful summer treat called bosintang (dog soup) which is supposedly made from dogs raised specifically for this purpose but I'm guessing that with profit being the Korean (and other) God, they are not above picking up strays off the streets. If I wouldn't feel so iron-deficient and exhausted, I would go back to the veggie ways I tried to stick to in China.
