Yonhap News reported on November 21, “South Korean animal welfare activists said Thursday they will petition the Constitutional Court next month against the government for not curbing dog meat consumption and slaughterhouses. Members of Korea Animal Rights Advocates (KARA) and the PNR (People for Non-human Rights) said in a news conference the government has infringed on citizens’ basic rights by neglecting its duties to crack down on such illegalities.”
Suh Cooc-hwa, a co-president of PNR, which consists of lawyers and researchers stated, “As the government failed to exercise its law enforcement power properly, the basic rights of citizens who live near illegal slaughterhouses or whose canine companions were stolen are violated.”
