result 1. How are you? Thank you for your interest in animal protection. The complaints you have submitted are understood to be illegal dog farms, slaughterhouses, and dog meat markets closed (no dog meat).
2. The controversy over dog food in our country has been going on for a long time. As the number of pets has exceeded 15million recently, dogs have become a family with people, not just a possession, and the overall awareness of pets has improved and negative perceptions of dog food have also spread.
3. However, the Animal Protection Act, which stipulates matters necessary for proper protection and management of animals, does not have any regulations regarding the prohibition of eating dog cats. In addition, dogs are not included in livestock products prescribed by the Livestock Products Sanitation Control Act, and are not subject to slaughter, processing, or sales regulations provided for in the above Act.
4. The dog food industry has already been in existence for a long time, so it is not easy to ban it in a short period of time. This is our country’s homework that should be solved step by step through pan-government policies and social consensus. We hope this problem will be solved in our province and will do our best.
5. We will continue to do our best for animal protection and welfare. Thank you again for your interest in animal protection policies.

That was expectable. Once again nothing but general phrases and embellished representations. Deception of the true impossible situation in your country. Act now and ban this crazy “tradition”. You claim, that a change or a ban would not happen overnight. This is complete nonsense, animal welfare organizations have been trying to bring your country to its senses for 20 (!) years.
