When I think of research I think of people in lab coats and chemicals. Not patrol cars, abandoned buildings and slaughterhouses. Maybe the sign was just up on top covering a leak. Who knows? The images it brought to mind were not pleasant.
I'm sure I could find out a lot more about this place. There are a few dive diners in the area that look like they've been there awhile.
I want to explore it more on my own first. My crazy theories are probably better than the truth.
I suspect it's glory days were from when private vehicles weren't so common here because the parking lots are very small compared to the sizes of some of the buildings, but I could be wrong. Maybe the parking lots are overgrown.
We are the same you and I my friend. "No Entry" signs have never bothered me, but if there were none then all the better. As you will see in my post today, I also like to investigate things where people rarely go.
Looking forward to hear what you discover there, although I have to say that the dog business will really put me off.
Glad that you got out unscathed and maybe in future you must go in the same route that you came out?
Blessings!
Next time I'm not going near that buildig again. However I will use the narrow ramp entrance. It actually leads out to a busy road but is cleverly hidden. It doesn't look like cars have used it for sometime, but motoerbikes and ATVs can easily drive up.
I will have to take a look at your post soon. Exploring is fun. I don't mind getting into a little bit of trouble, I know better than to steal or damage anything, or worse go on military bases and other restricted areas.
Agreed with you that exploring is fun my friend.
You are right, as don't touch anything and leave only your footprints behind when you leave.
Blessings!
A well-written and photographed story! Harvesting dogs seems so extreme and barbaric but I feel I should feel the same way when I pass a barn in the country here.
Dog meat is an oddity. It's continually declining in popularity and moving more and more underground. No one famous really supports it because, it's not delicious or even particularly cheap. The dogs used as livestock here do not look or act like pets. It's like comparing a parrot or a parakeet to a seagull or a chicken.
Comparing it to raising livestock on farms is appropriate. More can probably be done to make it human. Regulation is probably the best way, but due to external pressures regulation is unsavoury.
Most people just don't have the experience of befriending a cow or a pig. They are probably just as lovely if you get to know them and they are raised with love and care. The only people I know who would ever suggest to eat dig meat more than once as a curiosity (I've tried it) are at least in their 60s.
When I want to think of a actual barbaric practice, I think about hunting wild animals or fishing. I've done both. At least with deer, fowl and fish, we often eat them or even catch and release. Trophy hunting or doing it for fashion is becoming very unacceptable. But oddly doing it for traditional cultural practices (ex clubbing baby seals or hunting cetaceans) seems to be cool. We are protecting the fish (that we overfished for centuries) afterall.
A funny thing I remember is eating horse meat when in Malta. People react violently when I tell them that. It is not like they raise them like cows to harvest. Just when they get injured or old enough, instead of wasting them, they can be eaten. Didn’t taste bad at all.
I think the same asians that North Americans get upset at for barbaric whaling have the same thoughts about North Americans hunting and killing Bambi.
Every time I go to Japan I get a large plate of Basashimi which is raw horse. It is also a popular dish in some areas of Korea. I tell people who ract absurdly to relax, I'm not going to attack your horse.
Most of my coworkers react with shock when I show them the photos of my friends deer hunting trips in Canada. They raise deers and make magical potions from the antlers. The deer are unharmed much like sheep. But it's kinda pointless.
Sometimes deer and rabbit is eaten here, but quite uncommon.
Oddly whaling is allowed in some nordic countries and island nations for 'traditional and cultural reasons'. You need some twisted logic to accept this some how makes it morally and ethically permissible there but not in Japan. It was ironic theybwere allowed to do it for years as research purposes. I can understand why they stopped dealing with the organization.
Maybe that's why dog slaughter is going on in a place for research purposes...i guess eating dog meat is alright if you are doing it for science or traditional and cultural reasons and not just because you think it relieves alcohol induced impotency (beat your meat means something slightly different in Korean but it's ironically still linked to boners).
It's obviously controversially and ethically wrongs, but check out how stressed animals or adrenaline overdrive before death influences the flavors and tastes of meat. I'm sure this wasn't only noticed in Asia and likely had influence on hallal and kosher slaughter methods, too.
Its something to consider next time you have hunted or 'game' meat. The gamey flavor is often described as the meat being tougher and acidic or sour. These are factors that are mostlt influenced by a non-instant death. Not all hunted dear tastes the same and that is the best scientific explaination as to why. However the main people doing the hunting/testing don't want to actually think about why some deer tastes more gamey than others. It says something interesting and perhaps primordial about those who like or prefer this taste in their meat.
Haha, I'm just less cautious and don't think as much as I should about some things. Thanks, glad you liked the creepiness. I always try to avoid going overboard with teenage horror flick cliches, but I cannot help to add some.

I get to the end of the post with my stomach in a knot and you say this?
This story was slightly dramatized. But all the events are somewhat true.
Ahem!
Anyhow, that chimney looked to me like that for some sort of incinerator. An awful place. The whole place. When you spoke about dogs, I thought of dog fighting which is a major problem here. I'd not like to think about the type of research that was done there. On anything. Let alone dogs.
Who knows what they had been testing there. Dog meat could have been a code for anything depending on the sickness of their senses of humor.

Thank You ~ :)
A fascinating adventure. Are you able to ask local people if they know more about the place?
I'm sure I could find out a lot more about this place. There are a few dive diners in the area that look like they've been there awhile.

I will look out for more...
nice one

Leave only footprints take only photos... or underwater leave only bubbles.
Totally agreed my friend. Move like a ghost.
Blessings!

The differences around the world are fascinating.

You are braver than I would have been. And/or good job in making it sound creepy!!

What an awesome story! So glad you got to take pictures of it, and provide such a great write up. It's a mystery!
Thanks. It was exciting. Also, not my usual writing style, but I still enjoyed.
I get to the end of the post with my stomach in a knot and you say this?

Hope the pizza was good!
Wow, I was waiting for someone to catch this part. I won't tell which ones are dramatized. But I'm sure you can tell I did some work with the photos.
That chimney is likely for heating a few of the buildings. At least I hope so. I don't really want to spoil the story.
I hope so, too. I'm waiting for the next installment :D
