Long 도입 Foreigners might find it uncivilized that dog meat is eaten in
TALK Korea, but I would explain it in two ways.

근거1 For my first point, the meat used in dog soup is a certain
breed raised for this purpose. It is just like eating the meat of
any other animal, such as cows or pigs.
근거2 For my second point, dog soup has been eaten for a long
time in our culture. Moreover, it is believed to have some
health benefits, such as increasing stamina. It’s wrong to
criticize other traditions just because they are different.
마무리 When it comes to understanding other cultures, I think it’s
important for everyone to keep an open mind.

외국인들은 한국에서 개고기를 먹는 것을 야만적이라 생각할지 모르나, 저는
이것을 두 가지로 설명하겠습니다.
우선, 보신탕에 쓰이는 고기는 이 용도로 키운 특정 품종입니다. 소나 돼지와
같이 다른 동물의 고기를 먹는 것과 마찬가지인 것이죠.
두 번째로, 보신탕은 우리 문화에서 오랫동안 먹어왔던 음식입니다. 게다가
체력을 증진시키는 등 건강상의 이점이 있는 것으로 여겨지고 있고요. 단지
다르다는 이유로 다른 전통을 폄하하는 것은 잘못된 일입니다.
다른 문화를 이해하는 것에 관해서라면, 모든 사람들이 열린 마음을 유지하는
것이 중요하다고 생각합니다.
