Slaughtering dogs for their meat will soon be illegal in South Korea.

South Korean lawmakers passed a law that will ban the slaughter and sale of dogs for meat, which is expected to come into force in 2027. The aim of this law is to stop this practice that has existed in South Korea for centuries.

Dog meat soup called "boshintang" in the local language is widely preferred by the elderly in South Korea, but the dish is falling out of favor with the young.

With the new law, the consumption of dog meat will be considered illegal. According to a Gallup poll conducted last year, only 8% of people in the country said they had tried dog meat in the past 12 months, down from 27% who registered in 2015.

Less than a fifth of those who took part in the survey admitted that they support the consumption of dog meat.

According to the new law, those convicted of trading in dog meat can face up to 3 years in prison, while those found guilty of raising dogs for meat, or selling them for these purposes, can face a maximum of two years in prison.

Meanwhile, farmers and owners of restaurants serving dog meat have three years to find alternative sources of employment and income before the law takes effect.
