    Most Koreans love dogs and they’re as horrified by the practice as Westerners are.

    Do you have a source for this?

      Straight from Wikipedia, quoting this article in Korean:

      “In a 2020 survey of South Koreans, 83.8% of respondents reported never having consumed dog meat nor having plans to ever do so.”

        If it’s that high it makes sense the business will end soon one way or the other.

      I have Korean friends that love their dogs and don’t eat dogs. I don’t know any Koreans that told me they eat dog.

      Does that count?
