  • The practice of dog meat in Korea originated predominantly from the Khitan refugees who spilled into Korea during the Goryeo (Koryo) Dynasty. These people were assimilated into the Joseon Dynasty as the Baekjeong class, the first class of butchers, considered the lowest class in Joseon society. The people who traditionally consume dog meat have been predominantly descendants of this class and tend to be elderly, poor, and rural. For the past few decades, consuming dog meat has been controversial, especially within South Korea, due to conflicts between Korean animal rights activists calling for a ban of dog meat versus those who view the attacks as hypocritical for attacking only one type of meat consumption, rather than all meat consumption, and those who oppose attacking a minority practice that is already declining. Consumption of dog meat has experienced a precipitous decline over the past three decades in South Korea, mainly due to the demographic decline of the minority that consumes dog meat. Estimates of the number of animals consumed vary widely. The often quoted estimates of 1-2 million (by the Korean animal rights group KARA) are not based on actual data and have no scientific basis. Estimates are closer to tens of thousands per year based on actual sales at the major markets in 2017. However, the numbers have declined since then, given that all of the major markets have since shut down. The largest dog meat market, Moran Market, officially shut down in 2018 following years of declining sales; though, some illegal sales were discovered in 2021. According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Food and Rural Affairs, approximately 200 dog farms have been reported. In 2018, the Taepyeong-dong complex, which served as a slaughterhouse for dogs, was closed by the South Korean government. This move came five years after a vote by the city council of Seongnam, the city where the slaughterhouse was located. In a 2020 survey, 84% of the Korean population reported never having consumed dog meat nor having plans to ever do so. In June 2018, a South Korean municipal court ruled that killing dogs for their meat was illegal, though this law did not make it illegal to consume dog meat. (en)
  • 大韓民国における犬肉の消費(だいかんみんこくにおけるけんにくのしょうひ)。大韓民国では犬肉は「ケゴギ」(朝鮮語: 개고기、文字通りには「イヌの肉」)として知られており、紀元1世紀の三国時代に始まった長い歴史がある。しかし、近年は動物の権利と衛生上の懸念から、韓国と世界中の両者で物議をかもしている。 いくつかの情報源によると、現代の韓国では特に若者の間で犬肉の消費はあまり一般的でなくなり、その習慣は衰退しつつある。消費される動物の数の推定はばらつきが大きく、Korean Animal Rights Advocates(KARA)によると、韓国では年間約78万頭ないし100万頭のイヌが消費されている。牡丹市場の売上高はここ数年間減少しており、2017年に年あたり約2万頭に減少した。韓国の統計情報サービス2015年農業センサスは、521,201頭のイヌを飼育している合計24,671の施設を報告したが、この数字はペット産業用に飼育された動物と食肉用に飼育された動物の両方を含んでいる。太平洞複合施設は、毎年数十万頭のイヌの食肉処理場として機能したが、2018年に韓国政府によって閉鎖された。この動きは屠殺場があった城南市議会の投票から5年後に起こった。 2018年6月に、韓国のある地方裁判所は犬肉の消費は違法ではないが、肉のためにイヌを殺すことは違法であるとの判決を下した。 (ja)
