Dilemma to End Dog Eating in 3 years...470,000 edible dogs. [Anchor Report]

In January, a bill banning dog food passed the National Assembly.

If you slaughter or distribute dogs for food purposes, you will be sentenced to up to three years in prison.

The enforcement of this law is about two and a half years away in February 2027.

I have homework to do in a hurry.

They are dogs that have been raised for food.

The number of the dogs reached nearly 470,000 by May.

The government said it will provide up to 600,000 won per dog if it closes dog food farms.

The sooner you close the door, the more money you will give, but if you are late, the subsidy will be lowered to 225,000 won.

The closure budget supported in this way will exceed 100 billion won next year alone.

And the government's idea is to send the remaining dogs to overseas adoptions or to animal shelters.

However, it is pointed out that the remaining dog care will not be as easy as it sounds.

It is difficult to adopt food dogs because they are large and lack protective facilities.

There is also strong opposition from the Breed Dog Association.

They are confronting each other, saying that they need to end their livelihoods, but the scale of compensation is far short.

As there is not a small gap between each other, more active communication is needed.
