I don't think that's the issue really. Generally dog is not a premium meat, for meat reasons. Historically you hear of people resorting to eating dog meat when times are very tough. Edit given the chance, people don't ranch dogs.
Not that military rations are ever great, but the idea that a country is using a "poor" meat in what should be a streamlined process of making MREs speaks to the instability in north korea.
Nah, I have personally read plenty of online outrage, and heard in person, numerous times people making moral judgements about eating dogs.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying it's practical, or good eating. Nor am I making comment on North Korea. Just take issue with people having a go over the morality of eating dogs.
I'm saying that's not the issue for a military, which would give no such shits.
Fair enough, this was just a convenient place to get on my soap box lol
Or the "Russian sources" are just being racist because dog meat isn't even a good candidate for rations as carnivores, by their very nature, are resource inefficient to raise for meat.
Even if you assume they're 100% kibble fed it's pretty suspect.
Now what might be funny is if dog is treated as a luxury meat and the rations were either a special treat or fake dog...
