'Notorious' South Korea Dog Meat Market Shut Down — and More Than 80 Dogs Have Been Saved

Humane Society International first announced in June that the dog meat market, one of the country’s largest, would be shuttered

Humane Society International announced on Monday that Gupo — known to animal rights organizations as a “notorious” market, infamous for selling chilled dog meat as well as “live dogs killed to order” — had been shut down by South Korean authorities.

The news comes less than one month after HSI first announced the market would be shut down as the result of an agreement reached by the local Busan authorities and the 19 dog meat sellers operating out of the market.
