VICEさんのインスタグラム写真 - (VICEInstagram)「South Korea’s government announced today that it plans to ban the dog meat trade, which will include the closure of dog meat farms, slaughterers, and restaurants across the country.⁠ ⁠ Consuming dog meat has long been tradition in South Korea, especially during Boknal – a celebration of the peak of the summer growing season, when dog meat stew is traditionally served as an antidote to the sweltering heat.⁠ But, in recent years, the tradition has faded.⁠ ⁠ “Korean society has reached a tipping point where most people now reject eating dogs and want to see this suffering consigned to the history books,” said Chae Jung-ah, executive director of animal welfare organization Humane Society International/Korea in a press release.⁠ ⁠ The bill is set to become law by the end of the year. Once passed, it will grant a three-year phase out period for dog meat businesses to transition into other income sources, with the ban taking full effect in 2027.⁠ ⁠ 📷: @hsikorea⁠ ✏️: @nikkibrillantes⁠」11月18日 1時15分
