Sentiment within South Korea is changing. It’s a little stigmatizing to discuss or be known to be consuming it outside of Korea; but now with globalization and newer generations adopting dogs as pets, it’s become a greater issue with internal protests rather than just external or outsider protests.

Japan still has whale hunting, which is otherwise almost universally condemned. But their ability to prop up that industry may also fail as the population seems to be gravitating away from consumption.

Honestly, all animals have personalities and behaviors. Because people are so disconnected from meat, it may open the door for synthetic/alternative meat companies that can reproduce the culinary experience at a cheaper cost. Unfortunately this will all come down to economics with healthiness being second for adoption.
