South Korea passed a bill to end consumption of dog meat. “Special Bill (Alternative Bill) to end the breeding, slaughter, and distribution of dogs for consumption and dog meat consumption” passed at South Korea’s National Assembly plenary session on January 9, 2024, and dog meat consumption will end with a 3-year grace period. The voting results were: 208 – Favor 0 – Oppose 2 – Abstention This is a victory that we have campaigned so hard for over 12 years. Big thank you goes out to everyone who has supported our campaign to speak out against dog meat cruelty in South Korea and taken action to give a voice to Korean dogs! We would also like to thank every one of the animal activists and advocates in South Korea for their courage, compassion, perseverance, and dedication to ending the dog meat trade.
