I've been exploring Korean restaurants here in Orange County, CA...but

Dog meat restaurants in L.A. and Orange County...

The dog meat on the menu, "boshintang", is never translated into
English. If you ask, you will be told that it is something else.

The article indicates that it is quite widespread.

Excerpt:


"Popular Korean belief is that due to the adrenaline rush it creates,
the more painful the death, the tastier the meat. Dogs are usually
killed by slow hanging, beating (often in combination), electric shock
through the tongue, and particularly for cats, drowning in large drums
or pounding to death in
Hessian sacks. The fur is burned off with a blowtorch, and not
necessarily after the animal is dead.
Puppies and kittens have a more "delicate flavor..."
