Animal-related commercial projects and festivals across the country have faced growing backlash from residents and activists who want to protect animal rights as well as the environment.
The Jindo Dog Theme Park on Jin Island, South Jeolla Province, has come under fire with claims of animal abuse.
An online petition was filed on the Cheong Wa Dae website, March 4, calling for the shutdown of the park, a renowned tourist attraction on the island where the Jindo, a Korean dog breed, is said to have originated.
