Stop it! Stop eat!

In 2017, a massive rally was held in Korea against dog meat eating in the presence of many foreigners. Koreans have eaten dog meat since long years ago. Still, three million dogs are slaughtered every year. This is why Korea is criticized by animal rights groups, internally and externally. But solving this issue is not simple than thought. In Korea, the people working in dog meat eating industry reaches one million. If the dog meat is banned, their rights for living are threatened. And foreign criticism rather causes opposite effects by hurting our cultural pride. For this reason, the government still cannot find a clear solution for this. Dog is not a simple companion animal in Korea. Dog is a difficult issue with long tradition, politics, economy, and social issues of Korea intricately connected.
