Korea s dog meat industry representatives urged the top court to nullify the recent ban on dog meat trade and consumption in Seoul, Tuesday, arguing the special act is unconstitutional and infringes on people s basic rights.
The government should deploy sufficient administrative force and budget for a crackdown to bring a practical end to the country s age-old practice of eating dog meat, animal rights experts said Monday, amid growing concerns that the industry could continue operating in the shadows even after a legal ban on the practice takes effect in 2027.
