,
, ‘A total of 3,075 sites in the industry engaged in the breeding of dogs for edible purposes were identified through the 2022 local government administrative survey. With the submission of operating status reports this year, a total of 5,625 sites in the target industry have submitted reports, with most of the target sites having submitted their reports. The increase in the number of reports (1,507 sites) compared to the administrative survey (1,156 sites) in 2022 is believed to be due to the inclusion of small farms not covered in the survey.’,

The government plans to announce specific closure support measures for the dog edible industry through the basic plan for dog edible species end in September this year.’,

We plan to thoroughly investigate and exclude from support those who aim for excessive support and temporarily expand their operating scale.”’,
,
, ‘On the other hand, industries that do not report their targets or operating status within the designated period, or fail to submit closure plans, will be excluded from future government support for closure and may be subject to fines of up to 3 million won or closure orders and measures under the Dog Edible Species Act.’,
