With the upcoming Boknal days- the three hottest days of the lunar calendar when dog meat consumption is most popular in South Korea- calls for an end to the dog meat industry are getting louder! This year the boknal days fall on the 13th July, 23rd July and 2nd August. On these days, it has become ‘custom’ for many Koreans- even those who do not usually do so- to consume dog meat stew- “bosintang”- as it is believed to have ‘cooling effects’ to help replenish stamina during Korea’s sweltering summer. During these days, tens of thousands, if not hundreds of thousands, of dogs are sold and slaughtered in markets, restaurants and health stores throughout the country.
