South Korea Ends Dog Meat Trade
South Korea is preparing to phase out the dog meat industry, with a comprehensive ban on the breeding, slaughter, and sale of dog meat set to begin in February 2027, following a parliamentary vote that approved the law in January 2024. In recent years, the popularity of this cuisine has declined significantly, driven by cultural shifts and a growing trend of keeping dogs as pets, with studies showing that over 90% of the population has no intention of consuming dog meat in the future. More than 5,600 businesses have been impacted by the legislation, and eating habits have changed dramatically, with many restaurants switching to alternative dishes such as goat meat soup. This period marks the last "Boknal" season during which the sale of dog meat is permitted before the full ban takes effect.
