The most recent farm closure comes as South Korea thinks about an across the country restriction on the dog meat market. First lady Kim Keon-hee has actually spoken up in assistance of a restriction, keeping in mind in an interview that “Not consuming dog meat is ultimately an expression of respect for man’s best friend, and it also means respect for life.”
Sangkyung Lee, HSI/Korea’s campaign supervisor for ending the dog meat trade, is heartened by Mr. Yang’s desire to leave the market. “Farmers like Mr. Yang are symbols of change in South Korea,” he says. “A new generation of animal lovers like me don’t wish to see this suffering continue.”
“There’s no future for the dog meat industry,” Mr. Yang informed press reporters throughout the closure.
*Mr. Yang asked to be determined by his surname just.
