Big changes are coming to South Korea as the country prepares to put an
end to the centuries-old practice of serving and eating dog meat. The
government is announcing new measure to rehome hundreds of thousands of
dogs, and support farmers ahead of the ban taking effect.
On Thursday, Sept. 26, South Korea’s Agriculture Ministry shared
details on plans to relocate nearly half a million dogs, including
financial incentives of around $450 per dog surrendered. The government
plans to spend about $75 million to assist businesses in shutting down
and transitioning out of the dog meat trade before the ban is fully
enforced in 2027.
However, many involved have expressed frustration, saying the
compensation programs fall short of their expectations.
Supporters of the ban have called this a significant milestone for
animal welfare in South Korea, but there are concerns that tying
compensation to the number of dogs might inadvertently encourage more
breeding in the short term.
Park Beom-su, vice agriculture minister, addressed concerns that the
dogs might be euthanized or processed for consumption before the ban
takes effect, but he emphasized that is not part of the plan.
In January, Parliament passed a bill officially banning the consumption
and sale of dog meat, reflecting growing support for animal rights and
a declining interest in the dog meat trade generally. Violations
include penalties of up to three years in prison.

Any gooks who still have an appetite for dog meat can move to
Springfield Ohio
Or Mar-a-Lago.
Guess you'll just have to continue eating tuna.
