To put a stop to the centuries-old custom of eating dog meat, South Korea is set to take strong action. By the end of this year, the People Power Party, which is now in power in the nation, intends to enact a ban on the consumption of dog meat. This action is being taken in response to worldwide criticism from animal rights organisations and an increasing public opinion against the practice, especially among younger people.
