How Does the Dog Meat Trade Thrive in South Korea?
Dog Talk (And Kitties Too!) (11-28-2022) #807A: Sangkyung Lee, dog meat campaigner for Humane Society International in South Korea, talks about the government having agreed to a task force a year ago to evaluate this part of the economy but nothing has been done. Tracie asks who has a stake in maintaining the dog meat industry — “Where is the money?” — and Sangkyung explains that industrial level farming is behind the trade. Tracie wants to know that if it is true that 85% of South Koreans have never eaten dog meat and say they never will — where is the market for the 1 million dogs slaughtered annually? HSI has converted 17 dog meat farms to other products — but how many more are there to go?
