South Korea ends dog meat consumption before ban
South Korea is gradually phasing out dog meat ahead of the complete ban scheduled for February 2027. In the final days of the hot summer, the Moran Market in Seongnam saw limited demand for dog meat soup, as many restaurants shifted to offering alternative dishes such as goat meat. This decline in consumption comes as part of government and public efforts to end the dog meat trade, supported by parliamentary legislation banning it in January 2024, following a drop in demand and changing social attitudes that now favor animal welfare, with penalties of up to imprisonment and fines for those who violate the ban.
