Hundreds of South Korean Dog Farm Owners Protest Against Recent Moves to Outlaw the Dog Meat Industry

In the face of a proposed dog meat ban in South Korea, about 200 dog farmers held a protest near the presidential office in Seoul on Thursday. The Korea Dog Meat Farmers’ Association—which has long opposed moves to crack down on the industry—also said that it was mulling the release of 2 million dogs near government landmarks in Seoul as well as the homes of lawmakers.
