In shocking news, North Korean dictator Kim Jong Un has reportedly ordered North Koreans to hand over their pet dogs to the meat industry as the country struggles with acute food shortages.
This certainly did not go well with the pet owners who are shocked by the decision. However, they cannot do anything more than accepting the order.
“Authorities have identified households with pet dogs and are forcing them to give them up or forcefully confiscating them and putting them down. Some of the dogs are sent to state-run zoos or sold to dog meat restaurants” a source revealed, saying the order came in July.
“Ordinary people raise pigs and livestock on their porches, but high-ranking officials and the wealthy own pet dogs, which stoked some resentment,” the source further told the South Korean newspaper, according to the NZ Herald.
In North Korea, more than 60 per cent people do not have access to food because of the flood that affected the crops recently and coronavirus pandemic had made everything worse.
