South Korea's Ban on Dog Meat: A Victory for Animal Rights and Changing Attitudes

South Korea is planning to ban the consumption of dog meat in an effort to address growing concerns over animal rights and the opposition from the younger generation. The ruling party aims to introduce a bill this year with bipartisan support, and the government will provide financial support and a three-year grace period for businesses to transition out of the dog meat industry. The ban comes as criticism of the ancient custom increases both domestically and internationally.
