South Korea Dog Meat Industry Workers Rally for Compensation Support in Seoul
Hundreds of members of the National Association of Dog Meat Industry Operators stage a rally in front of the National Assembly in Yeouido, Seoul, South Korea, on January 15, 2026, calling for legislative support to secure fair compensation under a special law banning the dog meat industry. South Korea's parliament passes the Dog Meat Consumption Ban Act in 2024, prohibiting the breeding, slaughter, distribution, and sale of dogs for food, with a three-year grace period before full enforcement begins in February 2027.
