If reports in the media are to be believed, North Korea is facing a food supply crisis. And its controversial leader, Kim Jong-un has reportedly ordered people to hand over their pet dogs so they can be turned into meat for restaurants. According to a report in the New Zealand Herald, the move by the North Korean leader is thought to be aimed at controlling the rising discontent among the public. People are unhappy as the economic situation in the secretive country is crumbling & food shortages have become a huge worry. According to South Korea's Chosun Ilbo, a source reported that Kim banned ownership of pet dogs and in July denounced having a dog at home as ‘a tainted trend of bourgeois ideology’.
