South Korea to ban eating dogs

South Korea is taking steps to outlaw the consumption of dog meat, aiming to resolve the ongoing debate surrounding this age-old tradition in light of increasing awareness of animal rights, as revealed by a policy chief from the ruling party on Friday.

The practice of eating dog meat in Korea has faced international criticism for its perceived cruelty, and there is a growing opposition to it domestically, particularly among the younger generation.

Yu Eui-dong, the policy chief of the ruling People Power Party, stated during a meeting with government officials and animal rights activists that it is time to address social conflicts and controversies associated with dog meat consumption.

He proposed the enactment of a special act to bring an end to this practice, Reuters reported.
