We have great news to share!!! Busan Korea Alliance for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Busan KAPCA) announced that the notorious Busan Gupo Dog Meat Market will be closing down. 19 shops in the market that sell dog meat have tentatively agreed to close their businesses before July 12. Currently the dog slaughter is ongoing. Dog butchers will be given very generous compensation packages from the district (the district office’s offer includes providing about 3.1 million won ($2,700) to each of them every month until December 2020). We hope that none of these dog butchers from Gupo will relocate their businesses.

Busan KAPCA along with many individual activists in Korea have fought long and hard for this. We, KoreanDogs.org, have also been campaigning to close down Busan Gupo Market for many years now. We thank everyone who took action to help.

Let us continue to fight until the dog meat industry ends for good in South Korea.
