In South Korea, a month after the ban on dog meat, certain breeders are in the sights of Parliament. Pet dogs are sold at auctions where their living conditions are criticized by animal rights activists.
A bill to ban these auctions is under study in the Assembly. Breeders denounce a measure that could shut down their entire industry, which represents nearly three billion euros per year. They also warn of the possible emergence of a black market for the sale of animals if this bill is passed. The Assembly must vote on this ban soon.
