SEOUL, Feb 11 (The Korea Herald/ANN): A planned exchange visit to a United States town by South Korean high school students in 2022 was cancelled after animal activists there raised the issue of dog meat farms operating in the area the students are from, it was revealed on Friday.

Palisades Park, New Jersey – a twin town of Gangwha County in Incheon – decided to cancel the planned three-week exchange programme in June 2022.
