"South Korea's Ban on Dog Meat Trade: A Historic Shift"
TL;DR Summary
South Korea's parliament has passed a bill to ban the production and sale of dog meat, with a three-year grace period before enforcement in 2027. While consumption is not criminalized, the ban effectively ends the practice, which has seen a sharp decline in recent years. The move has been hailed as a historic victory for animal welfare, with campaigners celebrating the end of a cruel industry that has involved the breeding and slaughtering of dogs for their meat. Violators of the ban will face prison time or fines, and compensation packages will help businesses transition out of the industry.
