Can someone explain why south korea had a protest over U.S beef?

Question

those people eat dog, what are they complaing about

Answer 1

They are protesting about mad cow disease. There has been cases in the US. Also the US is not testing its cattles for mad cow. They refuse to do so. Get some information about it and you'll see. If I would be american I would protest about US beef too. Mad cow is not something to mess with. The risks are high and the refusal for testing it is totally crazy and should worry you too.

Answer 2

I think its two-fold:

One - several years ago there was a case of Mad Cow disease in the US.  S. Korea stopped importing US beef at that time.

Two - the domestic producers don't want to see US beef competing with their product.  Many years ago there was a similar hue and cry in Japan over the import of US rice. Domestic producers knew they could not compete with the US imports on price.

Answer 3

They are worried about Mad Cow Disease.  There was one case in the US several years back and they are still worried. Seems to be much ado about nothing.

The second answerer doesn't know what she is talking about. We vigorously inspect for Mad Cow disease. There has only been one or two cases found in the US and both of those came in from Canada. None have been found in years.

Answer 4

1) It is NOT mad cow disease. That's a European problem.

2) It IS about "Hoof and Mouth Disease" which has been a problem in the States, but the last outbreak was around 2001.

3) And really the main reason = Money.

They want to make more for their local beef. Importing our beef or any other country's beef means competing on the free market which might lower prices. Better for all Koreans except those who sell beef at inflated prices.

My advice - let the free market mark.

Answer 5

They also eat monkey brains They sit around a table pound the head of a live monkey  with their spoons to soften it up crack the head open and eat the brain Don't believe it till I saw it was my own eyes

Answer 6
