SEOUL: An umbrella group for those in the dog meat industry in South Korea has vowed to hold a protest on Nov 30 against the government’s move to ban dog meat consumption, while allegedly threatening to release two million dogs around the presidential office in Yongsan-gu, Seoul.

Daehan Yukgyeon Hyephoi (Dog Meat Federation), a group consisting of dog meat farm operators and dog meat restaurant owners across the country, has recently decided to hold a protest in front of the War Memorial of Korea in Yongsan, just across the street from the office of President Yoon Suk-yeol.
