BOKNAL
3 DAYS OF MORE SUFFERING
IN SOUTH KOREA
The BokNal days are the 3 hottest days in South Korea, between July and August according to the lunar calendar.
During these days 70-80% of dog meat is consumed, even by those who never eat it at any other time.
The traditional dish of BokNal is "Bosintang", a dog meat soup.
As the consumption rises, so does the trade, including the farming, the slaughtering, the selling... increasing suffering for thousands and thousands of dogs during these 3 days.
