South Korea’s Dog Farmers Protest At Proposed Ban On Dog Meat

HWASEONG, South Korea (Reuters) – As South Korea moves to ban eating dog meat, many of those involved in the centuries-old controversial practice are fighting to keep it legal.

The farmers who breed the dogs, and the owners of eateries that serve the meat, have held protests in front of parliament to demand the government and ruling People Power Party scrap plans to pass a bill this year to enforce a ban.

They say banning dog meat would decimate their livelihoods, and also limit the options available to diners by taking off the menu a dish that in the Korean peninsula has traditionally been consumed to beat the summer heat, but which today is only eaten by some older people.

“If I have to close down, with the financial condition I’m in, there really is no answer to what I can do,” said Lee Kyeong-sig, who runs a farm outside Seoul raising up to 1,100 dogs. “I’ve been in this for 12 years and it is so sudden.”

A Gallup Korea poll last year showed almost two-thirds of respondents opposed eating dog meat, with only 8% saying they had eaten dog within the past year, down from 27% in 2015.

Despite its declining popularity and opposition from animal rights activists, previous attempts to ban dog meat have failed because of industry protests.

**Rescued dogs are seen as they wait for transport, at a dog meat farm in Wonju, South Korea. credit: REUTERS/Kim Hong-Ji**

This time, the government has said the proposed ban would give the industry a three-year grace period to transition out of the trade, as well as provide the maximum possible financial support for those affected.

With the backing of the public, and bipartisan support in parliament, there are signs that the ban could soon become law.

TIME FOR CHANGE

The agriculture ministry declined to give details about the size of the industry, but the Korean Association of Edible Dogs, says far more farms and restaurants than those cited by the government will be affected.

The association said 3,500 farms raising 1.5 million dogs and 3,000 restaurants will have to shut down, almost twice the numbers stated by officials.

Nam Sung-gue who has run a restaurant selling dog meat boshintang, or “restoring” soup, for the past 30 years, said the ban was unfair, even though his business is fast declining.

“If they try to ban the food that people have eaten for a long time, that is a wrong kind of law, a law that takes away the freedom to choose what we eat,” he said.

Many opponents of the ban blame it on First Lady Kim Keon Hee, a vocal critic of dog meat consumption who along with her husband President Yoon Suk Yeol has six dogs.

Asked about Kim’s influence, an official at the president’s office said: “Both in the country and abroad there is support and consensus, as well as from the opposition party.”

An Byung-gil, member of parliament for the ruling party who is the main sponsor of the bill, also said the time was ripe for change. “Even though something may be part of tradition, what needs to be changed has to be changed,” he said.

South Korea Plans To BAN Eating Dogs By 2027: Animal Groups Praise ‘Historic Announcement’ As ‘A Dream Come True’.

South Korea aims to ban eating dog meat and put an end to the controversy over the ancient custom amid growing awareness of animal rights, a ruling party policy chief said on Friday.

The Korean practice of eating dog meat has drawn criticism from overseas for its cruelty but there has also been increasing opposition at home, particularly from the younger generation.

“It is time to put an end to social conflicts and controversies around dog meat consumption through the enactment of a special act to end it,” Yu Eui-dong, policy chief of the ruling People Power Party, said at a meeting with government officials and animal rights activists.

The government and ruling party would introduce a bill this year to enforce a ban, Yu said, adding that with expected bipartisan support, the bill should sail through parliament.

Agriculture Minister Chung Hwang-keun told the meeting the government would implement a ban quickly and provide the maximum possible support for those in the dog meat industry to close their businesses.

First lady Kim Keon Hee has been a vocal critic of dog meat consumption and, along with her husband, President Yoon Suk Yeol, has adopted stray dogs.

Anti-dog meat bills have failed in the past because of protests by those involved in the industry, and worry about the livelihoods of farmers and restaurant owners.

The proposed ban will include a three-year grace period and financial support for businesses to transition out of the trade.

Eating dog meat has been an age-old practice on the Korean peninsula and is seen as a way to beat the summer heat.

But it is much less common than it used to be in South Korea, though it is still eaten by some older people and served in certain restaurants.

Animal rights groups welcomed the prospect of a ban. “A dream come true for all of us who have campaigned so hard to end this cruelty,” Humane Society International said in a statement.

There are about dog 1,150 breeding farms, 34 slaughter houses, 219 distribution companies, and some 1,600 restaurants serving dog, according to government data.

A Gallup Korea poll last year showed 64% opposed dog meat consumption. The survey found only 8% of respondents had eaten dog within the past year, down from 27% in 2015.

Vet’s Heartbreaking Plea After Dog Cries For Owner While Being Put To Sleep

Many choose to stay at their dog’s side in their final moments, however some fear ‘tarnishing’ the last memory of their four-legged friend by remaining in the room.

**A vet has urged owners to stay in the room while their pet in their final moments.**

Nothing can prepare you for the last goodbye to a family pet. Many choose to stay at their dog’s side in their final moments, however for some the situation is too painful, and they fear ‘tarnishing’ the last memory of their four-legged friend by remaining in the room as they are put to sleep.

But a vet has issued a heartbreaking plea to owners after a truly devastating experience with one dog. Taking to Reddit, the woman urged owners not to leave their pets as they are put to sleep after the harrowing situation left her ‘in tears for weeks’.

She said: “I will always try to give grace and save my judgements on how people are able to deal with grief because everyone is different, but it is depressing to have a dog spending it’s final moments looking for where their owner went. I feel like it’s the very last comfort you can give your friend, just being there by their side to comfort them.

“We had one recently that hit me hard, I just wish it could have ended differently.”

xplaining how the owner stepped out into the hallway while their dog took their final breath, she said the poor pooch tried to follow his master before his medication hit him. She added: “I am not judging the owner’s emotional capacity for grief and I am not saying the dog died thinking ‘omg I’m dying alone’. I’m not even talking about the actual euthanasia, but the moments leading to it.

**The vet said staying with your pet as they are put to sleep is the “very last comfort you can give your friend”**.

“For those of you saying dogs ‘just think their owners stepped out for a moment’ are missing it. Even if that was the case, they still stress out.

“This dog we euthanised literally tried so hard to walk himself out the front door with his leash after his owners left and continued to cry and stress out until the Propofol got him. We did our jobs and gave all the treats and love, but the focus was always ‘where did they go?’

“Say what you want, I just think it’s a bummer that those were his final moments. He was a really good boy and I wish he could have been more relaxed because I think he deserved it.”

While most users agreed owners should stay in the room no matter how painful it is for them, other vets tried to explain how it is simply just too much for some people to handle. One vet explained: “I used to work at a clinic that did boarding, and we had one where an elderly boarder wasn’t doing well and the owner couldn’t get back in time to be there.

“The poor lady was literally on a plane that had just taken off on her way to her grandson’s graduation when we called. We all felt so bad so we made sure to all love on this elderly golden retriever extra because it was so sad.

“I still remember this cute little old dog to this day. That was one I definitely understood why the owner couldn’t be there.

Nothing can prepare you for the last goodbye.

“But on the same coin, not everyone can handle seeing death the way we do, especially when it’s a loved one. So I can certainly understand why someone can’t be there when their pet is euthanised.

“But it does suck for the animal, but we just make sure to give them the extra love they need before they pass on. The main thing is that you’re helping them be free from pain, and that’s the most important part.”

Another vet said: “I used to be very judgemental of this but now I’m a few more years into the field, I’m much more understanding.

“Not everyone can handle seeing the moment of death happen. I mean there’s a reason relatives and visitors are kicked out when a human is coding or critical.

“You’re not meant to watch loved ones die. Its easy to forget how well we cope with things as professionals.

“Although I do hate when people essentially hand the animal over and leave without a care, as if the animal was just a nuisance.
