The 2018 Olympics set to be in South Korea may bring about some changes in the country’s dog meat trade.
The controversial practice–which is deeply upsetting to many Western cultures–may have to come to a halt in order for the country to drum up support for this year’s Olympic games. More and more farmers are responding to opposition by agreeing to shut their farms down, a movement that is often funded by advocacy groups who also provide them with a stipend to change their careers.
Watch a video on one meat farm closure below:
The thought is that Westerners and dog lovers around the globe will not support this year’s Olympics if South Korea continues to practice dog meat farming. Undoubtedly, people against the practice will not want to be spectators in an arena that is anywhere near a farm, slaughterhouse, or meat market.
We hope that this is a catalyst to eventually stopping the dog meat once and for all!
