Kim doesn’t appear to be malnourished…

“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.”

Sometimes I wonder if these stories are true or just propaganda from our side/allies. Some of the stories are just so damn depressing coming out of NK.

Unreal. They would have to kill me in order to get to my dogs. No way would I let it go without a fight.

I have heard that in Japan they refer to Kim as "The Dear Eater" :-)

So the story about the leader being dead, and then almost dead, and then deathly ill, and then ill, all seemed to fade away pretty quickly.

Was that another leak hunt?
