How South Korea's Dog Meat Ban Leaves Farmers And 500,000 Dogs In Limbo

The government claims local authorities will take surrendered dogs into shelters. But rehoming is proving difficult. Farms raised large breeds like Tosa-Inu for meat, dogs often labeled "dangerous" under South Korean law.

Former farmer Yang Jong-tae, 74, who shut down in 2023, says, "When I saw how they handled the animals, like they were handling people, so gently and lovingly, it really moved me. We don't treat them like that. For us, raising dogs was just a way to make a living."

But Yang still questions the ban. "If dog meat is banned because dogs are animals, then why is it okay to eat other animals like cows, pigs or chicken?"

For younger farmers like Chan-woo, the future feels bleak. "All we're hoping for now is that the grace period can be extended so that the process can happen more gradually."

Valid argument

Because dogs are the model minority of the animal kingdom. They deserve special treatment.

Meanwhile its legal to eat bear which are closely related to dogs. but they are big and scary so its okay.

I was joking obviously,
but i actually think there is good reason not to eat dogs other than pure sentimentality
I think we get greater value out of dogs as service animals than food. People have used them for hunting and home defense for centuries. Police use them for enforcing the law. Not to mention their use as literal service dogs for blind people.
We gotta plenty of other meat options, we can keep them as pets and workers. until some sort of global famine requires us to take what we can get.
