”It's not illegal” vs. ”It ruins the atmosphere”... ”Conflict” over ”dog meat” sales in South Korea

In South Korea, a law banning the consumption of dog meat was passed in January of this year, but during the three-year grace period, markets such as Gyeongdong and Cheongnyangni in Seoul are still selling dog meat.
However, dog meat and dog meat dishes are still being sold in the market. In the market, people have expressed opposing reactions, such as "it's not a problem" and "it ruins the atmosphere."
According to an investigation by the Korean newspaper Herald Business on the 27th, a farmer selling dog meat at Cheongnyangni Market in Gyeongdong
Four meat shops were confirmed. The owner of one butcher shop that sells dog meat said, "We're not selling it illegally, so what's the problem?" and "There's still a demand for it.
" However, for about 30 minutes, no one came to the store looking for dog meat. Meanwhile, the owner of a nearby restaurant said, "The market has become famous among young people recently.
"However, it is ruining the atmosphere of the city," he said. "As the times have changed and the eating of dog meat has been banned, it should not be sold accordingly."
100 days after the dog meat ban was passed, the streets of dog meat restaurants are deserted.
The dog meat restaurant in this street used to be so popular that it would often have long queues for food.
