[News] Dog farmers demand that their industry be legalized
Hankyoreh, English news in Korea, reported on October 8, 2017 that “About 250 members of the Korean Dog Farmers Association staged a large demonstration on Sept. 22 demanding that their industry be legally recognized and regulated like other livestock sectors. The association members are also protesting a bill offered in the National Assembly by Minjoo Party lawmaker Pyo Chang-won that would ban the consumption of dog meat. The farmers gathered in Jong-no with nine caged dogs and then marched toward the Blue House.”
