I'd set dogs on them.

Dozens of dog farmers in South Korea have staged a rally to criticise the country’s first lady over her reported comments supporting a possible ban on dog meat consumption.

Eating dog is a centuries-old Korean practice but there have been growing calls to allow it in South Korea as animal rights campaigns have influenced public attitudes and eating dog meat has fallen out of favour with most younger people.

In late 2021, a government-civilian committee was launched to reach a social consensus on ending dog meat consumption but no breakthrough has been reported yet.

Farmers demanded authorities present more concrete compensation steps or allow them to maintain their businesses for about 15-20 years until older people, who are the main source of demand for the meat, die.

Finally illegal to sell dogs for human consumption but you can still eat them if you grow your own.

The slaughter and sale of dogs for their meat is to become illegal in South Korea after MPs backed a new law.

The legislation, set to come into force by 2027, aims to end the centuries-old practice of humans eating dog meat.

Dog meat stew, called "boshintang", is considered a delicacy among some older South Koreans, but the meat has fallen out of favour with diners and is no longer popular with young people.

Under the new law the consumption of dog meat itself will not be illegal.
