South Korea Bans Dog Meat Sale: South Korean Parliament Passes Bill to Ban Killing and Selling of Dogs For Human Consumption

South Korea’s parliament on Tuesday, January 9, passed a law to ban the production, killing and selling of dogs for human consumption, a practice that dates back centuries but is now rare and frowned upon. Dog meat used to be more widely eaten, especially during the Korean War when the country was poor and food was scarce.
