South Korea to launch task force on banning dog meat

Restaurants that serve dog meat are dwindling in South Korea as younger people find dog meat a less appetizing dining option and pets are growing in popularity. Recent surveys indicate more people oppose banning dog meat even if many don't eat it.

The government says the initiative, the first of its kind, doesn't necessarily guarantee the banning of dog meat. The joint statement noted that "public awareness of the basic right and animal rights issues are tangled in a complicated manner" when it comes to dog meat consumption.

"We have deep doubt about whether the government has a resolve to put an end to dog meat consumption," Lee said. "South Korea is the only developed country where people eat dogs, an act that is undermining our international image," Lee said. "Even if the K-pop band BTS and the Squid Game are ranked No. 1 in the world, foreigners are still associating South Korea with dog meat and the Korean War."

So then don't eat any meat.

'Yes...yes...yes!...'

South Korea on Thursday said it will launch a task force to consider outlawing dog meat consumption after the country's president offered to look into ending the centuries-old practice
