career dog shit on the menu for centuries with around two million dogs eaten every year are about articulators long and it takes they were not i just. couldn't handle. the mc a little. but strict government regulations and a growing animal rights movement are cracking down on the industry look at that look at that there are good on the other. side but i don't think eleven ten to. one. you know dollars they lead to down and with the younger generation seeing dogs more as pets then food demand has declined by a global living or total food to do all the devil and

a lot of the from the building to god. i'm steve cho on this episode of one east we investigate the fight between those who love dogs and those who love to eat them. and. gotten them in downtown seoul is a place where nutrients like in the chip pit dogs with poultry and it's like beating. it's the end of summer and for some it's the best time to eat the traditional dish fistful. dog meat soup. in korea it's called top of the flow what fishel about the city and i don't believe you have to feel that i mean this all came in but i guess all you did it has been well i think it's been that. long done you know the unifil felt good in that all

things. dogmeat is purported to have a variety of health benefits. how to not get on the limb of a million two million of. his wealth. i was here today yes i was. so that to get the whole needle me on monday little bit about a one on one visit and just. cannot kill of the kill it you my. plans are you got a moment or less. oh yeah. these dinah's are aware of careers ricky taishan as a nation of dog beaches but a growing number of koreans are finding this notion hard to swallow. these days seventeen to see it of korean say they don't eat dog. and growing numbers are engaging into rick battle against the meat industry. like activist.

identify. over the problem. it's easy to see this family's business is on the skids. it is your life like. he noted for the. wall. this place like many small farms can't afford to meet strict government regulations around raising dogs on these farms being forced to close. up. at the moment. but it was the job of an illusion of a bigoted and then. so he's feeding the dogs which. i'm taking to see the cages there are about six metres long and it's actually running through three four five six seven that's him they just. did dogs in cages

with living ones. it's obvious this guy can no longer look after his dogs. but he's not prepared to give them up. you can get around him. or you. know whether i get. there's a. new wants to rescue a few dogs immediately but the family is wary and is holding out for at least some cash before he hands him a dog. is going to have to raise the funds and come back another day.

well activists like gina and a growing number of koreans are trying to stamp out the dog meat industry the president of the meat. eating meat is a part of the fear of. the follow government regulations. he says business is booming. the returns are. among you quite out of the book without in that i mean. really know. how you prefer. in the road some got my money's on them. leaving my money and then i thought i was. shifting. president kim jong so introduces me to pharma kim jong il who grants me rare access

a wide river of dog poop i start to get an idea of the scale of the spawn. maybe oh this is where the new cage is a dying yeah. but there's one thing i can't film and that's the dogs this is as close as i'm about it does that healthy and nice why can't we film them even ironically one of them so good to do stand out that it will get to a head on a new thing when they don't have to go through. this is apparently a showcase for. but the korean parliament may soon vote on legislation that would make dog meat illegal so the farmers are understandably a bit touchy about how we'll patrol what's going on inside. thanks for showing me. some of it anyway.

traveling to. the area with so many farms and it's not just don't. meet activists who do manage to negotiate the release of dogs from farms bring them to places like that's. just like our dogs yeah. yeah. he. said. they were all. drawn in paul. you know i personally cannot save all the dogs but i.

dogs for human consumption. but this group of activists isn't.
