mostly older people eat dog and cat I think, getting more rare in Korea too. South anyway
Last year, Chinese activists rescued 907 stolen dogs from a truck carrying them to be slaughtered for meat.
Han Dong, an animal rights campaigner in Henan province, said the demand for dog meat is huge in Guangdong and the Guangxi Zhuang autonomous region, where eating dog meat is a tradition.However, according to his observations, there are no special dog farms, so stealing dogs from households and selling them to slaughterhouses has became the common practice.
"We have tracked the dog dealers and taken videos of how they steal pets," he said. "If the amount of stealing is up to a certain amount, the behavior would be constituted as a crime."
Han also stressed that eating pets can be harmful to human bodies since the pets all received rabies vaccine injections.
