PERHAPS football fans and those visiting South Korea may be interested to learn of the horrific cruelties inflicted on that country's domestic animals.
Recent pictures in one national newspaper show tiny piglets being thrown from a lorry into a pit to be buried alive as "it costs too much to kill them first."
Dogs, on sale in the streets as "delicacies", have been "hanged and then beaten to a pulp with baseball bats to ensure tender meat".
All decent people, I am sure, will feel sickened by the behaviour of those people towards innocents, whose only crime was being born into such a barbaric society.
