Dog meat banned by South Korea: BBC News Review

Күн бұрын

South Korea has passed a law banning the killing and sale of dogs for their meat. Dog meat isn’t as popular as it used to be in the country - research shows only one in five people are in favour of eating it. The law will come into effect in 2027, which gives farmers and restaurant owners three years to adjust to the change.

In South Korea, dog meat was not considered a staple food but a special food that cured diseases. Dog food in Korean, 보신탕(Bosintang) literally means "Soup that heals the body". I am a South Korean, so I asked my parents (born in the 1970s) if they had ever eaten dog meat, and they said they found dog meat very disgusting, because they both had a pet dog when they were young. But they also said they had very rarely seen a place that sold dog meat. I also asked my grandparents (born in 1940s) about dog meat, and they said it was very common when they were children and that they had eaten it, but dog meat was very expensive so they could barely eat it. They said that there was no feeling of disgust or guilt at all when eating dog meat, but dog meat did not regard as ordinary meat like pork or beef, but it was more like expensive folk medicine or special food. And when they became adults and bought pet dogs for their children(my parents), they said they did not perceive their pet dogs as livestock at all. (Just as there are different species of pigs for eating and pet pigs) Personally, I have never seen dog meat sold or dog meat food in my entire life living in South Korea for 21 years, and I only see it on the news often. But I realized the dog meat was quite common until recently.

I'm a 24-year-old Korean who is learning English with BBC Learning English. It's safe to say that young people like myself simply don't eat dog meat, as it is predominantly associated with the dietary culture of older generations, I guess almost more than in their 50s. Despite this, the governmental policy to prohibit such practices has not gathered a favourable response among even younger people. Many people say that why should the government ban and legislate against a dying culture or a sunset industry that will naturally fade away over a generation From this point onward, it's my personal opinion. Let's think about the point of view of animals that are eaten. They'd find it as if dogs and cats were 19th-century white men with blue-eyed, fair-haired among other species. I think it's a bit absurd that the fate of death and life is determined by one's affinity or lack thereof with humans

@mattmatti3525 5 ай бұрын

I was wondering about this and from my perspective as well as a none Korean I have the same opinion as you. Just because you own a dog doesn't mean you should force everybody else not to eat it. But most people are illogical and it's clear this entire thing is emotional and not reasonable

Nearly the same situation in China, dog meat consumers born after 1970s are hardly be seen, if Korean government totally banned it, consumers could still take a short trip to a Chinese autonomous district located alongside the China-PRK border line and have a hotpot. That prohibition is more likely to make the society pose a negative attitude toward this industry.

The culture of eating dog is almost disappeared nowadays. Almost nobody in young generations prefer to eat dog. That is kind of old school in Korea.

Everything had been destroyed since Korea was under Japan and then the Korean War. not many stuff to eat. Very poor. So people had to find something to eat. One of them was eating dogs. My point is that you should understand their history and think “why” before judging them. Btw, Korea is not poor anymore and they fixed it by a law now. Job well done! 🎉

This is not about it being gross. I think its about most people loving these creatures, and also because there are not many who eat them, so there is no systematic, hygenic way of slauthering in this case.

In Korea here, majority despise harassing dogs as meal. Only a few old timers around over 60 to 70 aged people may try it. But treating dogs as meals already become nonsense and unacceptable issues so hardly find above mentioned restaurants also according to pet industry that have super booming up for years we have recognized which is serious problem have to kick off as soon as possible with struggling against those dark sided industries many korean suffered by. And now I do worry if BBC is covering this news may incur spreading hatefulness toward S. Korea or racism even further. I know bunch of cases korean get engaged in racism of above mentioned subject Although who have never step into that restaurants and hate to try. I have really much love BBC contents, kind of a fan who enjoying on daily basis. However this subject is feeling like clickbait stuffs ( I'm sorry if I'm wrong and i comment here in the first time. may grammar issue you would catch )

However i want to correct some wrong information such as ‘you could find dog meat menu in ordinary restaurant in Korea’, which is wrong. Dog meat has been treated in a very limited venue as a specialty restaurant. This industry is almost dead because nobody wants it anymore. This food is related to part of korean summer food culture ‘bokdalim’, but i will not explain not to bother anyone.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Every animal that has fangs is haraam.” (Reported by Muslim from the hadeeth of Abu Hurayrah, may Allaah be pleased with him). According to a hadeeth narrated by Abu Tha’labah al-Khashani (may Allaah be pleased with him), “the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) forbade the eating of every carnivorous animal that has fangs.” (Agreed upon). Dogs are carnivores that have fangs. You have to repent to Allaah for what you have done, and Allaah is the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful.
