result 1. 안녕하십니까? 동물보호에 많은 관심을 가져 주신 점 깊이 감사드리며 국민신문고를 통해 신청해주신 민원에 답변 드립니다.

2. 먼저 현행 「축산물위생관리법」상 개는 가축의 범위에 포함하고 있지 않아 식용견 유통·판매와 관련한 사항은 축산물위생관리법의 적용 대상이 아님을 알려드립니다.

3. 우리시에는 식용견 사육장 및 불법 도축장이 없으며, 이와 관련한 행위 또는 장소가 특정되는 경우 현장 확인하도록 하겠습니다.

4. 지자체에서 개고기 식용에 관한 사항을 단속하고 규제하는 것은 현실적으로 어려운 부분이 있음을 양해하여 주시기 바라며, 잔인한 방법으로 동물을 도살할 경우 「동물보호법」 제10조에 의거 단속 예정임을 알려드립니다.

5. 귀하의 질문에 만족스러운 답변이 되었기를 바라며, 답변 내용에 대한 추가 설명이 필요한 경우 안양시 식품안전과 손명희 주무관(☏031-8045-2605)에게 연락주시면 친절히 안내해 드리도록 하겠습니다. 감사합니다.

1. How are you? Thank you very much for your interest in animal protection, and we will respond to complaints submitted through the e-People petition.

2. First of all, we would like to inform you that matters related to the distribution and sale of edible dogs are not subject to the application of the Livestock Products Sanitary Control Act, as dogs are not included in the scope of livestock under the current 「Livestock Products Sanitation Control Act」.

3. There are no edible dog kennels or illegal slaughterhouses in our city, and we will check the site if related actions or locations are specified.

4. Please understand that there are practical difficulties in cracking down on and regulating dog meat consumption by local governments. We inform you that if animals are slaughtered in a cruel way, they will be cracked down in accordance with Article 10 of the 「Animal Protection Act」.

5. We hope that your question has been answered satisfactorily. If you need further clarification on the answer, please contact Myung-Hee Son (☏031-8045-2605), the head of the Anyang City Food Safety Division, and we will kindly guide you. thank you
