Uh, no, 'fraid not. Korean consumption of dog meat has nothing to do
with a "serial prankster", nor has it any relevance that someone
dislikes organizations that exist to protect animals from cruelty.


Excerpt:


"WHERE DO THESE RESTAURANTS GET DOGS FROM?

Restaurant owners who wish to provide these dishes must rely on
criminals to obtain animals. "Bunchers", as they are called. are
people who obtain animals illegally, and sell them to restaurants,
vivisection labs, satanic cults*, and pit bull fighting rings.
Wherever they can make a quick profit. Most often, bunchers obtain
animals from "FREE TO GOOD HOME" ads in the local newspaper.
By masquerading as an animal lover, sometimes going as far as to bring
a child along, he can easily obtain several animals in one day. By
selling the animals for much more than he paid (nothing!), it's not
hard to imagine how lucrative this cottage industry is. Animal
Activist groups estimate at least
30 known bunchers are operating in Orange County alone!"



They must rely on criminals to obtain the animals because dog
consumption is illegal in the USA.
