Next week I will be having my students talk about the countryside surrounding our rural high school, introducing new vocab. and terminology.

Around our school there are several 'establishments' where they raise dogs for food.

What is the correct English term for a place where they raise dogs to eat?

Dog Farm? Dog Ranch? Dog Pen?

I've generally heard them referred to as "dog farms" by foreigners and bilingual Koreans.

If those dogs were used as pets, you'd call them puppy mills.

the dogs are raised for their MEAT, so the farms are called 'dog meat farms"

Thanks for the info.

So, "dog meat farms" it is.

When I first moved here to the hinterlands of Gyeonggido province, I could hear the dogs yapping all night. Now, with the start of summer, the farms have gone eerily quiet.
