본문내용
IntroductionAs a Korean, eating dog doesn’t surprise me. I personally like to eat dog meat. I chose this topic as my final project because when I went back to Korea with my host family who is American, we saw some Korean people protesting about eating dog meat. My host family was kind of “freaked out”. They said “Yes, they must not eat dog!” I replied “It’s okay, it tastes really good; and besides, we don’t eat pet dogs;” however, they couldn’t comprehend it at all. So, we ended up arguing on this topic.
< 중 략 >
There is a thing that people don’t understand about American culture too. As I am Korean, I don’t really understand why many American people hunt wild animals and then protest eating dogs because they respect dogs’ lives. I am not talking about people hunting wild animals and eating them, but I am talking about going hunting for fun. If people respect animals’ lives, hunting wild animals should also be stopped. Some Americans eat deer meat. This might shock a lot of Koreans. I have never thought about eating deer before I came to the U.S. This might make some people think Americans are cruel.
