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.

According to many survey, About 90% of South Koreans have never eaten dog meat. 90% may seem like a figure that dog meat is not common, but the actual percentage is higher since most people born before the 1950s will have eaten dog meat. On the other hand, among young South Koreans born after the 1970s, almost 99% do not eat dog meat. This shows very severe generational polarization. The pet dog population in South Korea is 10 million, which is one-fifth of the total South Korean population. As such, the majority of South Korean voters have been asking politicians to ban dog meat for decades, and those in their 70s and older have opposed this. Ultimately, unable to overcome the trend of the times and westernization, the South Korean parliament completely banned dog meat.
As a vegetarian, I have never eaten any meat in my life because of religious reasons. However, I have never considered eating dogs as a wrong act. It is just like eat beef, pork, chicken, lamb etc For those shouting "eating dogs are barbarian act" while having their chicken hamburger, they are just being hypocrite and showing cultural hegemony
Please Tell China not to eat dogs. China eats more dog meat than Korea
South Korea is hell on earth. They also eat bats. South Korea created Covid, not China. Greetings from Indonesia
What about other animals and birds????
Beef and chicken ate leagal 😅😅😅😅
Western people get angry and are racist to Asian people for dog meat, yet have the nerve to claim Asians are the most racist people
middle-age??? No. He is an old man.
나는 침묵했다 나는 개고기를 먹지 않았기 때이다 그들이 나에게 왔을 때 나릉 위해 나서 줄 사람은 아무도 없었다. 동물농장 개는 다른 동물에 비해 더 평등하다 수요 공급에 따라 시대가 지나가면 자연스럽게 줄이들 걸 법으로 처벌하는 식으로 막아
What are they now eating there? 😟
브르짓도 바르도가 한국언론에 나와 개고기

오드리 햅번이 브르짓도
바르도 보고 욕했다는거
전쟁때 더한것도 먹는다
전쟁 안격었냐며 브르짓도
바르도를 욕했다는거
브르짓도 바르도도1930년대 생으로

한국전쟁때 연합군
병사중에 개를 먹은게
수기에 나온다
연합군이 혹독한 북한

눈이 많이오고
혹독한 추위에 먹을거

South what about my pet pig? can y'all stop eating Wilburt?
Hindu people doesn't eat beef but doesn't force other countries to stop eating beef. On the other hand Western animal rights organization is ignoring Korean culture and forcing them not to eat dogs.
Bravo! ROKorea Rocks
🤢🤮
저는 한국인입니다. 한국의 개식용 금지법 통과는 한국인들이 개를 사랑하기 때문에 개고기 식용을 금지한 것이며 한국 정부와 윤석열 정권께서 참으로 올바른 일을 하신 것입니다. 저는 한국인으로서 개식용 금지법 통과를 적극 환영합니다.👍
I'm Korean. South Korea passed a law banning dog edibles because Koreans love their dogs. The current government of South Korea and the president of South Korea have created a law that bans the eating of dog meat, which proves that the current government of South Korea and the president of South Korea are very good. As a Korean, I welcome the passage of the dog food ban.👍
