South Korea shutting down country's largest dog meat slaughterhouse in Seoul
Officials will be working towards shutting down all six slaughterhouses in Taepyeong, which provides dog meat to restaurants across the country.
In a big win for numerous animal rights' organizations across the world, South Korea has announced that it will be shutting down the country's biggest dog slaughterhouse in Seoul. Taepyeong, which provides dog meat to restaurants across the country and where "hundreds of thousands of dogs" were gathered from dog meat farms to be killed by electrocution, will cease to function.
According to Humane Society International, representatives from Humane Society International/Korea, Korea Animal Rights Advocates, and the Korean Animal Welfare Association were on hand to assist Seongnam City Council to witness what has been described as a "historic event."
