Why This South Korean Man Closes Dog Meat Farm After 30 Years VICE Asia 2023-08-10 | Today is the last day of Boknal, South Korea’s hottest summer days. It’s traditional to eat special dishes during Boknal, including bosintang, a controversial stew containing boiled dog meat. While traditions are valued in the country, the consumption of dog meat is declining as more people view dogs as companions rather than livestock. According to a 2022 poll of 1,514 respondents, 85.5 percent of Koreans said they don’t consume dog meat. Yang Jong-tae, a dog meat farmer in South Korea, closed down his farm in March after running it for 30 years. The decision came after he was contacted by Humane Society International (HSI), a non-profit organization that is currently campaigning across Asia to end the dog meat trade. The rescued dogs from this operation were transported to the U.S. for adoption.Dog meat trade is not illegal in the country. However, discussions about prohibiting it have been going on for years. In 2021, then-president Moon Jae-in brought up the possibility of banning dog meat. Last June, lawmaker Han Jeoung-ae proposed a bill to ban dog meat entirely. But no changes have been made so far. In this video, Yang explains why he’s leaving the industry.

Watch 200 Dogs Finally Freed From a Dog Meat Farm VICE Asia 2023-05-04 | When animal activist group Humane Society International (HSI) arrived at a dog meat farm in the city of Asan, South Korea on March 7, the dogs didn’t seem to know about the huge changes that would be coming their way. While some dogs were standing, barking, and squeezing themselves through metal cages, others were sitting and trembling. These cages were elevated from the ground and under them were piled up feces.“I don’t mind getting dirty. But it’s emotionally difficult when I see them under extreme stress, because they don’t understand what’s happening,” HSI campaign manager Lee Sang-kyung told VICE, dog feces covering his work clothes as he moved the animals from their cages.“Sometimes, puppies born in this kind of elevated cage lose their lives, stuck in the wire,” Lee said. “Some owners just leave the dead puppies for their mothers to eat. It’s heartbreaking.“But Lee is hopeful for the future. “I feel accomplished when dog meat farmers decide to leave the industry and work with us, and also feel proud that we’ve finally rescued once-caged animals and sent them off on a plane,” Lee said. “I picture a bright future ahead of them, where they can run freely.“vice.com/en/article/xgw8gq/photos-dog-meat-farm-south-korea-rescue

Zebra that escaped from Seoul zoo has a heartbreaking backstory VICE Asia 2023-03-28 | On Thursday, a zebra named Sero escaped from the Seoul Children’s Grand Park and was found trotting around the South Korean capital, shocking passersby. Videos of Sero running down brick alleys and swerving cars on a busy road went viral on social media. After a three-hour chase, he was brought back to his pen.But the three-year-old zebra wasn’t always this unruly, zoo officials said.According to a video published by the zoo, Sero’s behavior began changing when he lost his parents in 2021 and 2022. He had tried to fight the kangaroo in the neighboring pen, and also began refusing to eat apples and carrots—food he loved. Sero’s behavior after experiencing loss would not surprise animal researchers, who have found that animals are capable of experiencing grief and that it could manifest as changes to their appetite, sociability, sleep, and stress.To prevent Sero from fleeing again, the zoo plans to get him a roommate—a female zebra, according to the Korea Times.🎥: Gwangjin Fire Station#shortsClick here to SUBSCRIBE to VICE Asia: bit.ly/2LhqAR9 Connect with VICE Asia: Check out our full video catalog: bit.ly/2P3Y0pv Videos, daily editorial and more: http://vice.com/en_asia More videos from the VICE network: fb.com/viceasia/videos Like VICE Asia on Facebook: http://fb.com/viceasia Follow VICE Asia on Twitter: twitter.com/viceasia Follow us on Instagram: instagram.com/viceasia
