The \u200bcomprehensive ban will cover all aspects \u2062of\u200d the industry, including breeding, slaughter, distribution, and sale of dogs for consumption. This move comes as the consumption of dog\u200d meat has been steadily declining in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>According \u200dto the Korea JoongAng Daily, there\u200c are\u2063 currently over 1,150 farms, 34 slaughterhouses, 219 distribution companies,\u2064 and approximately 1,600 \u200brestaurants involved in the production of\u200c dog meat. The\u2063 introduction of this bill aims \u200cto put \u2064an end to social\u200c conflicts and controversies surrounding dog meat consumption.<\/p>\n<p>The bill is expected to receive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/angelina-jolie-meets-with-mitt-romney-cori-bush-to-push-violence-against-women-act\/\" title=\"Angelina Jolie Meets with Mitt Romney, Cori Bush to Push Violence Against Women Act\">bi-partisan support<\/a> and approval, with the\u2062 ruling \u2064and opposition\u2064 parties expressing broad support for banning dog meat consumption. The World Dog Alliance stated that they anticipate the legislation\u200c to be passed in \u2064early December \u2063of this\u200b year.<\/p>\n<p>To ensure a smooth transition, the proposal includes aid from the \u200cMinistry of Agriculture, Food, and Rural Affairs for businesses and families affected by the ban. Additionally, dogs will be reclassified so that they are \u2063no longer considered livestock under regulatory categories.<\/p>\n<p>It is important to note that the ban will not take effect\u200d until 2027, allowing the industry time to adjust. This gradual approach recognizes the need to balance the cessation of the\u200b industry while minimizing \u2063the impact on those involved.<\/p>\n<p>The Humane Society International (HSI) hailed the new law\u2062 as a significant step towards ending the cruel dog\u200b meat industry. The organization stated that \u2062the ban could save as many as a \u200dmillion dogs \u200ceach year. \u200cA recent \u200bpoll conducted by HSI\/Korea showed that 85 percent of South Koreans said they would never eat dog meat, and\u200d over half supported a ban.<\/p>\n<p>This move by South Korea follows in the footsteps of other countries and regions that have \u200balready banned dog meat consumption. Hong Kong, Taiwan, the Philippines, \u200bIndia, Thailand, \u200cand Singapore have already implemented such bans. Furthermore, certain cities and regencies in mainland China, Cambodia, and Indonesia have \u200calso prohibited dog meat consumption.<\/p>\n<p>However, it is \u2062worth noting that\u2063 enforcement of these bans may vary. Despite the existing bans, an estimated\u2062 30 million dogs are still killed \u2064annually for human consumption worldwide.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, \u2063South Korea&#8217;s proposed bill \u2064to ban the consumption of \u200cdog meat by 2027 is a significant step \u2063towards ending the dog meat industry. This comprehensive ban, \u200dsupported \u2062by both ruling and opposition parties, addresses social conflicts\u2062 and controversies surrounding dog meat consumption. The gradual approach and assistance for affected businesses\u200c and families ensure a smooth transition. \u200cWith the potential to save millions of dogs each year, this legislation marks a positive milestone in South Korea&#8217;s journey towards a more compassionate and \u2062dog-friendly future.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A proposed law in South Korea aims to ban the breeding, slaughter, distribution, and sale of dogs for consumption.
