Dog meat is no longer available in Asia
South Korea may end a centuries-old tradition, as the parliament is debating a new bill that would ban the breeding of dogs for human consumption. The aim of the draft is to eliminate this long-standing custom with strict legislation.
The tradition of dog meat is rooted in the Korean peninsula and is a source of livelihood for many. Opponents, however, emphasize that consumer needs are changing, and eating habits must adapt to this in the light of animal protection and moral considerations.
In addition to the transition period, the bill also calls for financial support for farmers and businesses affected by the dog meat industry. Advocacy organizations have already expressed their displeasure as they believe these moves will deprive them of their livelihoods and reduce their food supply.
