Dog meat is a common food in Korea and Koreans have been eating dog meat since thousand of years ago. One of the popular dish is
Bosintang (literally ‘invigorating soup’), a traditional Korean soup that includes dog meat as its primary ingredient, and is very popular during the summer season.
It’s estimated that over a million of dogs are slaughtered every year to meet the market demand. The younger Korean generations however are beginning to ditch this traditional.
