Do Korean people eat cat or dog?

Answer 1

Only certain places in Asia eat cats.

The only parts of Asia where it is socially acceptable to eat cats is South China (excluding Hong Kong-Shenzhen) and North Vietnam. Elsewhere, it is taboo.

Answer 2

No, Koreans do not eat their pet dogs not cats. Many Korean people keep dogs/cats as pets and members of the family, just like in Western nations.

There has historically been a specific breed of dog raised in East Asia for food. It is not, as internet rumors have spread around, the St. Bernard. However, since South Korea outlawed dog meat in the 1980s around the Seoul Olympic games, there has been virtually no regulation of the technically illegal dog meat industry in Korea (the government turns a blind eye). And this has led to allegations of horrible conditions at dog farms and slaughterhouses.

Answer 3

Very few Asians eat cats. The only place where it is acceptable is Guangdong Province, China, some parts of South Korea, and some parts of Vietnam. Elsewhere, cat meat is a taboo.

Eating dogs is more common, but even then, most Asians have never tried dog. It is eaten sporadically in China, Korea and Vietnam. In South East Asia, outside of Vietnam, it is taboo as most of them are Buddhists or Muslims.

In South and West Asia, dog meat is mainly taboo, being predominantly Hindu and Islamic.

Answer 4

While dog meat was historically consumed in Korea, it is now considered controversial and not commonly eaten. Cat meat is not traditionally consumed in Korean cuisine. In recent years, there has been growing opposition to the consumption of both dog and cat meat in Korea.

Answer 5

Cats are eaten around the world, and not specifically in Asia. In fact, it is taboo to eat cat meat in most Asian cultures, including most of China.

Answer 6

Only in certain regions. It is eaten in Guangdong Province in China and parts of Korea. Other than that, it is not eaten.
