"South Korea's Ban on Dog Meat Trade: A Historic Shift"

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.

"South Korea Unanimously Bans Dog Meat Trade"

South Korea's parliament has passed a ban on the production and sale of dog meat for human consumption, set to go into effect in 2027 after a three-year transition period. The move comes after years of opposition to the practice, with a majority of South Koreans now supporting a ban. The legislation aims to strengthen animal rights and offers assistance to dog farmers and others in the industry to transition to alternative businesses. However, some farmers are concerned about the lack of clear support and are considering legal action and demonstrations against the ban.

The legislation, which takes effect in three years, carries penalties of up to three years in prison or fines of 30 million won ($22,800) for violations. South Korea joins other Asian countries and territories, including India, Singapore, and Taiwan, in banning the dog meat trade.

"South Korea Enacts Ban on Dog Meat Consumption Amid Shifting Consumer Preferences"

South Korea's parliament has passed a bill banning the breeding and slaughter of dogs for consumption, marking the end of the controversial practice of eating dog meat. The bipartisan bill, which now awaits final approval from President Yoon Suk Yeol, will also prohibit the distribution and sale of food products made with dog ingredients. The legislation, driven by changing consumer habits and increased animal rights activism, aims to phase out the dog meat industry over a three-year grace period, providing support for affected businesses to transition to other industries. While facing resistance from dog farmers and business owners, the bill reflects a significant cultural shift in South Korea, where attitudes toward consuming dog meat have evolved amid declining demand and increased pet ownership.
