Adopt Vietata la carne di cane in Corea del Sud

Mixed Breed · Unknown · Senior · 10 years

It is a great piece of news: dog meat will no longer be eaten in South Korea. The South Korean parliament has indeed approved the law that bans the sale of dog meat and marks the end of a disgusting tradition that still relies on 1,156 dog farms, 34 butchers, 219 distributors, and about 1,666 restaurants where it is offered. A three-year transition period will be needed before no one can eat dogs in South Korea, so from 2027 onwards, Koreans and tourists will no longer find Bosintang, the "restorative and healing" soup made from dog meat, which, according to a recent survey by Animal Welfare Awareness, Research and Education, the majority of South Koreans - whose homes currently have more than 6 million pet dogs - had already decided to remove from their menus. This is why the law was passed unanimously and no political force worried about taking a stance (as had happened so far) in favor of the breeders, who were given compensation after threatening to release millions of dogs still confined in the farms. Another favorable circumstance seems to have been the election in 2022 of President Yoon, described by the press as an animal lover, who along with his wife Kim Keon-hee also adopted stray dogs and cats. For centuries, dogs played a central role in culinary tradition and had a significant weight in national food plans following the Korean War (1950-53), but in recent years, the number of dogs slaughtered has slowly declined, going from several million animals ten years ago to one million dogs slaughtered in 2023. It is therefore not a coincidence that the ban came now, when political consensus damage was minimized: nevertheless, it remains that millions of dogs have been saved, an event that deserves everyone's attention, including those countries where the consumption of millions and millions of dogs is still legal.

E' una bella notizia: non si mangerà più carne di cane in Corea del Sud. Il parlamento sudcoreano ha infatti approvato la legge che vieta la vendita della carne di cane e decreta la fine di una tradizione disgustosa che si regge ancora su 1.156 allevamenti di cani, 34 macellerie, 219 distributori e circa 1.666 ristoranti dove viene proposta. Ci vorrà un periodo di transizione di tre anni prima che nessuno possa più mangiare cani in Corea del Sud e quindi solo a partire dal 2027 coreani e turisti non troveranno più il Bosintang, la zuppa “rigenerante e curativa” a base di carne di cane che, secondo un recente sondaggio di Animal welfare awareness, research and education, la maggioranza dei sudcoreani – nelle cui case vivono oggi più di 6 milioni di cani da compagnia – aveva già deciso di eliminare dal proprio menù. Ecco perchè la legge è stata approvata all'unanimità e nessuna forza politica si è preoccupata di schierarsi (come invece era accaduto finora) a favore degli allevatori, ai quali sono stati riconosciuti degli indennizzi dopo che avevano minacciato di liberare milioni di cani ancora rinchiusi negli allevamenti. L'altra circostanza favorevole sembra essere stata l'elezione nel 2022 del presidente Yoon, descritto dalle cronache come un amante degli animali, che insieme alla moglie Kim Keon-hee ha anche adottato cani e gatti randagi. Dopo aver avuto per secoli un ruolo centrale nella tradizione culinaria e un peso significativo nei piani di alimentazione nazionale seguiti alla Guerra di Corea (1950-53), negli anni più recenti il numero di cani macellati è andato lentamente scendendo, passando dai diversi milioni di esemplari di 10 anni fa al milione di cani macellati nel 2023. Non è dunque un caso che il divieto sia arrivato solo ora, ossia quando i danni al consenso politico si sono ridotti al minimo: resta, comunque, il fatto che milioni di cani sono stati salvati, un evento che merita l'attenzione di tutti, compresi quei Paesi dove il consumo di carne di milioni e milioni di cani è tutt'ora legale.
