The ‘Dog Eating Prohibition Act’ (Special Act on Ending the Breeding, Slaughtering, and Distribution of Dogs for Food), which prohibits the breeding, breeding, and slaughter of dogs for food, passed the Legislation and Judiciary Committee of the National Assembly on the 8th. This bill is scheduled to be processed at the plenary session of the National Assembly on the 9th.
The gist of the bill is to prohibit breeding, breeding, or slaughtering dogs for the purpose of eating, as well as distributing or selling dogs or food cooked or processed using dogs.
Slaughtering a dog for the purpose of eating is punishable by up to 3 years in prison or a fine of up to 30 million won, and breeding, breeding, or distributing a dog is punishable by up to 2 years in prison or a fine of up to 20 million won.
Dog breeding farms, dog meat slaughter and distribution dealers, restaurant owners, etc. must report their facilities and business details to the head of the local government, and the state or local government is also required to support the reported business closure or change of business.
However, the ban on breeding, slaughter, distribution, etc., and the provisions on penalties for violations, will come into effect three years after the promulgation of the bill. There is a grace period for punishment.
