"South Korea Enacts Ban on Dog Meat Trade"

South Korea's parliament has passed a bill making it illegal to breed, slaughter, and sell dogs for human consumption, reflecting a cultural and political shift away from dog meat consumption. The bill, set to be enforced in 2027, imposes penalties for trading and slaughtering dogs for consumption, but does not criminalize eating dog meat. Animal rights groups celebrate the historic moment, while some dog farmers plan to challenge the bill in court, arguing that it infringes on their livelihoods and rights. The shift away from dog meat consumption is attributed to rising pet ownership and concerns over animal welfare, with public attitudes changing and support from South Korea's president and first lady.

"South Korea Enacts Ban on Dog Meat Trade"

South Korea has passed a law banning the slaughter and sale of dogs for their meat, aiming to end the centuries-old practice of consuming dog meat by 2027. The legislation does not make the consumption of dog meat itself illegal, but those convicted of butchering dogs could face up to three years in prison, while people found guilty of raising dogs for meat or selling dog meat could serve a maximum of two years. The ban has received mixed reactions, with older generations expressing disappointment while younger people and animal rights groups welcome the move.
