The Bok Nal summer season in South Korea, a period of time in July and August that spans the hottest days of the year, according to the lunar calendar, is happening now. It’s also a time of year when more people than usual eat dog meat soup and other foods believed to cool the blood against the heat. Hundreds of thousands of dogs a year are intensively bred for human consumption on squalid dog meat farms, the majority of whom are killed for the Bok Nal period.
Following years of campaigning by HSI/Korea and others, South Korea’s National Assembly recently passed into law a ban on the dog meat industry—farming, sale and slaughter. The ban will see an end to this brutal industry once and for all. But it doesn’t come into effect until 2027. This Bok Nal our HSI/Korea team is joining with other Korean animal groups and countless dog-loving citizens to stand for a dog meat-free Bok Nal. Please stand with us in South Korea and add your voice of support for eating with compassion this Bok Nal. There are so many alternative ways to cool down in the heat that don’t cause dogs or any animals to suffer and die for human consumption. Let’s come together with dog champions of South Korea and say yes to a dog meat-free Bok Nal!
Please add your name to show support from around the world for South Korea’s dog meat ban, a dog meat-free future and a better life for all dogs, everywhere.
