North Koreans are ordered to hand over 'decadent and bourgeois' pet dogs for 'restaurant meat' as the country is rocked by food shortages

Daily Mail, by Julian Ryall Original Article

Kim Jong-un has declared that pet dogs are a symbol of capitalist 'decadence' and ordered that dogs in Pyongyang be rounded up - and owners are fearful that their beloved pets are being used to solve the nation's food shortages. Dictator Kim announced in July that owning a pet is now against the law, denouncing having a dog at home as 'a tainted trend of bourgeois ideology'. 'Authorities have identified households with pet dogs and are forcing them to give them up or forcefully confiscating them and putting them down', a source told South Korea's Chosun Ilbo newspaper...........

My Take -  Dog is a very fine meal quite common in Asia.  So what's the problem?  It's just being  omnivorous.  When they run out of dogs, then they can eat the rats.  This is known as Communist pest control, and most importantly, it's an "all natural" pest control solution.   

Just think how much better off they're going to be after the rats are all gone.  That way they can then eat the cats.  Cat is a very fine meal too.  Tastes like chicken I'm told!  Of course none of this changes the need to build rockets and nuclear bombs, no matter how expensive that may be.  

Now ,there are those who may pooh pooh this analysis and think this is an excellent example of socialist dystopia.  Starvation, disease, misery, poverty, squalor and early death, but that's..........oh....wait....that's what it is.
