An abandoned canine slaughterhouse in Pyeongtaek, south of Seoul, stands empty with electric prods resting against the wall near rusty cages that hold dog skulls. The deserted site illustrates an industry that is rapidly disappearing ahead of South Korea’s dog meat ban, which enters into force in 2027. @AFP reported from the location on June 28, 2026.
The facility offers a direct view of infrastructure once used in the trade. Hundreds of thousands of dogs were once bred for human consumption in South Korea. The ban marks the formal end of that practice nationwide.
