One of my S Korean friends (yea, you still don't see too many N Koreans

)informed me looong ago that eating dog and cat are common, although the dogs are not your typical retrievers or labs. They have "ranches" (for lack of a better word) that breed larger dogs that are not indigenous to the US. He said these are a little fatty, and look almost like small cattle. He also told me that the people that eat it can really afford it, as it is sometimes more expensive than beef (he related a restaurant that served it ~$100/lb).
It's not like they seem to go out and cook up any dog they find in the street, unlike the taco stands in Mexico -- have <b>you</b> ever seen a Chihuahua walking the streets there?!
