In this new year of 2024, there is some ' the good, the bad and the ugly' news for animal lovers and international organisations for preventing cruelty to animals, in South Korea, or for that matter, the whole world. The good news is that on January 9, 2024, the South Korean government passed a law banning the eating and selling of dog meat in its nation. The bad news is it is only to start from 2027. The ugly news is that until then, all those dogs being reared for their meat in farms or elsewhere will still be allowed to be killed and served as meal for the Koreans.
Disappointing indeed. Man's best friend becoming man's best delicacy!
