South Korea ends dog meat trade before 2027 ban
South Korea has officially ended dog meat trade, with a ban set to be implemented on the breeding, slaughtering, and selling of dog meat for human consumption starting February 2027. This decision is part of ongoing efforts to shift public opinion and move towards animal welfare; surveys show that over 90% of participants no longer intend to eat dog meat in the future, and 80% support the ban. The Morán market in Seongnam, which was a major center for this type of trade, has seen a significant decline, with many restaurants switching to offering alternative dishes such as black goat stew, while demand for dog meat has noticeably decreased. This shift reflects a social change that promotes animal rights and has led to the closure of over 5,600 businesses that sold dog meat, with backing from political and civil figures, especially during the presidency of Yoon Suk-yeol.
