SEOUL: The recent dog meat ban in South Korea has had dog farmers up in arms, with some threatening to unleash two million dogs in Seoul.

The law, which is scheduled to take effect in 2027, has incurred the ire of the owners of dog meat restaurants and dog farms as they feel it was a “unilaterally pushed” legislation, according to English-language daily The Korea Times.
