In what is being described as a historic move, the South Korean Democratic Party has introduced the "Special Act", a bill intended to eliminate the dog meat industry within the country. If passed, over a million dogs annually will be spared needless death for the dog meat industry, one that nearly 87.5% of Koreans do no support / consume. This bill is crucial in helping to end an industry internationally recognized as being cruel and needless to dogs.
The dog meat industry has long been viewed as abhorrent from the International community as dogs are often seen as pets / family, not food. Dogs in this industry are kept in poor conditions until it is their time to be executed. Typically, they are bred in these facilities, although it is not uncommon to see dogs with collars, pets who will never be returned to their owners. They are kept in small, wire cages with little access to food, water, or stimulation, and due to a lack of veterinary care, are often found with untreated illnesses. When it is their time for sla7ughter, they are painfully electrocuted to death. Witnessing other dogs being executed is emotionally & mentally turbulent for the remaining dogs and causes immense stress. The situation from start to finish is bad news for innocent dogs. The Special Act must pass. With overwhelming support from South Koreans & the International community alike, the only acceptable outcome is to see dog meat farming in the country come to an end. Farmers will be given guidance to transition, dogs will be spared horrifying death and a life of sadness prior to execution, and South Korea can say goodbye to an industry that is long overdue to end. There is simply no place in today's society for the consumption of dogs. It's time to end this industry once and for all. HAPPY VEG
