Dog Meat to Be Subject to Livestock Rules
The Seoul metropolitan government will ask the central government to include dogs in the legal definition of livestock, in a bid to ensure hygienic butchery and processing of what some Koreans regard as a delicacy. A Seoul official said there are 528 canine meat restaurants in Seoul, temporarily rising to 600 in the summer, when people traditionally eat dog stew as a health booster. Therefore, including dogs in livestock is necessary to protect public health.
The current livestock processing law covers domestic animals such as cows, horses, lambs and sheep, pigs, chickens, ducks, deer, rabbits, turkeys, geese, quails, pheasants and donkeys. Butchers and processors of these animals have to undergo regular sanitary inspections by local governments and the Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Not so for canine meat. The Seoul metropolitan government plans to persuade opponents with the argument that including dogs in legal livestock will help in fact help restrict cruel and un-hygienic butchery of dogs. |
Finally. Now hopefully the detractors will only be able to bitch about the fact that it's not a meat they think should be eaten (instead of using the butchering process as an excuse). |

| This is a good step. Dog meat is great, but I don't eat it a lot because there are no regs. on butchering and handling. |

| Now the dogs will be more regulated than the sex workers. Good for them. |

Still gross and barbaric in my opinion. Those of us who feel this way will never change our minds. So there's no point in arguing about it (even though we're right and the rest of y'all are wrong -  ). |

| Yeah, I'm sure this is gonna result in health inspectors bothering to check up on the slaughter/hygiene practices of dog meat suppliers. We all know how concerned government officials are about enforcement of regulations in Outpost Korea. |
