SEOUL, South Korea - South Korea will compensate dog farmers to help them relocate almost 500,000 dogs bred for consumption and close their businesses before a 2027 dog meat ban, the agriculture ministry said on Thursday.Dog meat has long been a part of South Korea n cuisine and up to a million dogs were once killed for the trade every year, according to activists. However, consumption has declined sharply in recent years as Koreans embraced pet ownership.
The government has tentatively allocated about 100 billion won to help 5,898 dog farms, slaughterhouses, restaurants, distribution companies and others close their operations, vice agriculture minister Park Beom-su said.The government would also encourage the adoption of many of the dogs or their placement in safe shelters to avoid having them put down or processed for consumption before the ban.
