"South Korea Outlaws Dog Meat Trade in Landmark Legislation"

South Korea's parliament has passed a landmark legislation outlawing the country's dog meat industry, with the bill aiming to make the slaughtering, breeding, trade, and sales of dog meat for human consumption illegal from 2027 and punishable by 2-3 years in prison. The legislation, which has the support of President Yoon Suk Yeol's government, aims to contribute to the values of animal rights and a harmonious co-existence between humans and animals. While the ban has been welcomed by animal rights activists, some dog farmers are upset and plan to file a constitutional appeal and launch protests, arguing that the ban infringes upon their freedom of occupational option.
