64 members of the National Assembly from both the ruling party and the opposition parties co-sponsored amendment to the Animal Protection Law proposed. On September 2, Daily Vet, a professional newspaper for the Veterinarian community in Korea reported on the new proposed amendment to the Animal Protection Act. Below is their report translated. This bill does not propose banning the dog and cat meat trade. That’s because a bill that specifically bans dog meat consumption would not be passed. However, if this bill passes, it would make it much more difficult for the dog and cat meat industry to operate. There have been 14 bills amending the Animal Protection Act introduced just this year in the 20th National Assembly. However, so far, none have even been debated on the floor let alone being passed. So it will be an uphill battle to get this bill passed. We will need a lot of continued campaigning and protesting to exert pressure on the Korean government that doesn’t want to change.
