The clash by the former and current president sparked criticism online, with users lamenting that the animals, which are state owned, were being treated only as property.
The ministry confirmed it had drafted a budget plan to provide a monthly 2.5 million won in subsidies, including 500,000 won for the dogs' food and veterinary care and 2 million for hiring workers to look after them. But the ministry said the plans were put on hold for months because of unspecified “opposing opinions” from within the ministry and the Ministry of Government Legislation.
If that's the case, Yoon's government should be “cool” about ending that entrustment, Moon’s office said. Yoon’s office shifted the blame to Moon, saying it never prevented him from keeping the animals and that the discussions about providing financial support were still ongoing. Moon and Yoon’s spat over the dogs sparked criticism online, with users lamenting that the animals were being treated only as properties.
