"South Korea Unanimously Bans Dog Meat Trade"
TL;DR
South Korea's parliament has passed a ban on the production and sale of dog meat for human consumption, set to go into effect in 2027 after a three-year transition period. The move comes after years of opposition to the practice, with a majority of South Koreans now supporting a ban. The legislation aims to strengthen animal rights and offers assistance to dog farmers and others in the industry to transition to alternative businesses. However, some farmers are concerned about the lack of clear support and are considering legal action and demonstrations against the ban.
