SEOUL: Traditionally, Koreans tend to prefer dogs over cats. Korean pet shops and animal clinics are bursting with dogs, which are far more popular than cats as pets. On the streets of South Korea these days, you can easily find people walking their dogs.
Koreans will seldom abandon “man’s best friend”, but seem to rather easily throw out cats. As a result, Korea is suffering from the rapidly growing number of stray cats that rummage through garbage cans for food.
