South Korea banned dog meat. So what happens to the dogs? TLDR: nothing good https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c20r7lkel68o

like with most "less palatable" food items, on the belief that it helps with male virility back in my korean corporate days (late 2000s, early 2010s), it wasn't common but still a dish male coworkers would go out to eat together, particularly on hot days and or when a colleague was trying to have kids personally only had it once myself, not so much a fan but kinda sad to see more "culture" get faded by modernity

Oh that’s really interesting Could perhaps think of the practice as catching a stray as global fertility declines…. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-67958480

off the cuff, i'd say it's more in parallel: similarly impacted by western modernization - heavy industrialization, processed foods (convenience), wage driven lifestyles, influence of globalization on societal values, etc. fwiw, even in my childhood (was there from age 4-12) it was considered food only old men eat

Kind of wish they let it fade out naturally instead of this hardline ban Seems like it would have gone away on its own and now there’s just this huge problem possibly bigger than the “problem” of people eating dogs

as a self acclaimed nihilist, i agree that it would've eventually disappeared in any case due to today's sensibilities - even legally, it's not like you find many dog soup (mainly consumed in soup) restaurants out in the open but if i know korean agriculturalists, they'll certainly look for loopholes towards profit... maybe black markets in china or something 🤣
