South Korea to ban killing of Dogs

A revised animal protection law that aims to ban killings of dogs has been proposed by lawmakers in Seoul.

The proposed legislation seeks to prohibit unlawful killings of animals such as dogs and cats that are not categorized as livestock.

Across the country, dogs are raised and slaughtered for the dog meat trade, but are not regulated by the sanitary processing of livestock act, said Lee So-young, Pyo’s secretary officer.
