South Korean 'killed neighbour's noisy corgi and fed it to him'
The 62-year-old unnamed man confessed to the crime after another neighbour tipped off the pet owner's family.
He claimed he was so irritated by the dog's constant barking that he threw a stone at the two-year-old Welsh Corgi, resulting in the animal losing consciousness.
"Only after the dog passed out, he claims, he strangled the animal and cooked it," a detective in the southern city of Pyeongtaek told AFP.
"The man then invited his neighbours to share the meal, including the father of the dog-owning family", he said.
Dog meat has long been a part of South Korean cuisine. But consumption has declined as South Koreans increasingly embrace the idea of dogs as pets instead of livestock, with eating them now something of a taboo among younger generations.
