Lawmakers in South Korea on Tuesday passed a watershed ban on the
production and sale of dog meat for human consumption, a centuries-old
practice that has become less popular with younger generations.

South Korea’s parliament voted 208-0 in favor of the ban, which will go
into effect in 2027 after a three-year transition period allowing dog
farmers and restaurants to repurpose or close their businesses.

Animal rights activists celebrated the ban Tuesday, which comes after
years of organized, vocal opposition to the practice of eating dog meat,
such as in stews. South Korea joins a growing list of places that have
banned human consumption of dog meat, including Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines, India, Thailand and Singapore, as well as individual cities
across China, Indonesia and the Siem Reap province in Cambodia,
according to Humane Society International.

The organization’s executive director for Korea applauded the move
Tuesday, calling the ban 'history in the making.'

'We reached a tipping point where most Korean citizens reject eating
dogs and want to see this suffering consigned to the history books,'
HSI/Korea executive director JungAh Chae said in a statement.

Recent surveys show more than half of South Koreans want dog meat banned
and a majority no longer eat it, The Associated Press reported. A 2023
Nielsen Korea opinion poll shows that 86% of South Koreans won’t eat dog
meat in the future and 57% support a ban, HSI/Korea said in a statement Tuesday.

Sort of like abortions here.

I'm betting a lot of 'country folk' will ignore this ban.

Sure, as long as there are dogs. . . . .
I cannot imagine the attraction, other than starvation and nothing else
to eat.

The source may largely dry up. I can imagine illegally eating a dog,
but running an illegal dog farm seems hard to do without getting
caught.

It's obviously cultural. In some countries dogs are not "man's best
friend", they're merely another source of meat. Hopefully there is an
agency similar to the FDA in South Korea when it comes to restaurants
and markets complying with this ban when it goes into effect. As far as
"'country folk'" and home cooking? Seems like it would be difficult
to enforce or prevent people from breeding their own dogs for meat.

On this rock, you can't eat dog - unless you own the dog.

Retards.

Absolutely. It was even a famed dish in vietnam fifty years
ago. An asian delicacy, as good as french horse meat.

Maybe Uncle Tojo will weight in. I'm sure he's eaten thousands
of dogs, from chiwahwahs to great danes.

My guess is that meat consumption could be banned in the future. The only thing available will be 3D printed, meat-like, food grade material. What the heck will you do then?

Lab meat. If it tastes the same, why not? It's not as if the flavour
of animal suffering will be missing.
