In oceania I have to go hunt roaming pet cats to get something reasonable to eat.

I don’t understand why you would ban it in a country where it has been consumed traditionally. Is there a public health reason behind this?

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The government has promised to fully support dog meat farmers, butchers and restaurant owners, whose businesses will be forced to close, though the details of what compensation will be offered have yet to be worked through.

On Tuesday lunchtime in Seoul, down an alleyway with several dog meat restaurants, a handful of older people were tucking into the stew and the generational divide was stark.

Previous governments, dating back to the 1980s, have pledged to ban dog meat, but failed to make progress.

The current President Yoon Suk Yeol and the First Lady Kim Keon Hee are known animal lovers.

Jung Ah Chae, the executive director of the Humane Society in Korea, said she was surprised to see the ban in her lifetime.

One dog meat restaurant owner in her 60s, Mrs Kim, told the BBC she was frustrated by the ban, and blamed it on the rise in the number of people in South Korea having pets.

It looks like meat eaters might be the minority on this platform. I agree that technically there’s no difference
in any animal meat trade (barring some details). Vegans got decent arguments for people who don’t beleive that people should eat dogs but beleive in eating other animals. Their arguments aren’t as good if you don’t assign the same value to animals as you do to humans.
