-First of all, dogs are not considered livestock according to Article 2 of the Livestock Hygiene Management Act. Therefore, dogs are not subject to punishment for illegal breeding and slaughter.
In addition, in relation to Article 8 (1) 4 of the Animal Protection Act, the grounds for punishment because slaughter of dogs for food is not specified in the acts prescribed by Ordinance of the Ministry of Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries in Article 4 (Prohibition of Abuse) of the Enforcement Regulation of the same Act.
