South Korea's president mulls dog meat ban as consumption dwindles
South Korea's President Moon Jae-in has raised the possibility of banning the consumption of dog meat in the country. Most Koreans have never eaten dog meat, and demand for it has dwindled in recent years. But it is estimated that up to one million dogs are still slaughtered for food each year in South Korea. Speaking during a meeting with the prime minister, Mr Moon questioned whether it was time to "prudently consider" a ban. It is the first time that the president, a known dog lover, has raised the prospect of a total ban.
