South Korea's dog meat ban nears
The end of the era of consuming dog meat in South Korea signifies the approaching implementation of a complete ban on the breeding, slaughtering, and sale of dog meat, scheduled for February 2027. The country is experiencing a significant decline in the number of people dining at restaurants that serve dog meat, especially as societal views shift and the popularity of pet ownership increases. A survey showed that over 90% of participants do not intend to eat dog meat in the future, and 80% support the enforcement of the ban. Additionally, younger generations prefer alternative dishes, and many restaurants in the Muran market have replaced dog meat sales with dishes such as black goat stew, indicating a decline in a centuries-old tradition. South Korea is moving toward ending an ancient culinary practice, amid rising awareness of animal rights and changing cultural and social attitudes.
