This is the best summary I could come up with:
South Korea says it will ban eating dog meat, with plans to introduce a law by the end of this year.
The Korean practice of eating dog meat has drawn criticism from animal rights activists overseas, but there has also been increasing opposition at home, particularly from younger people.
The government and ruling party would introduce a bill this year to enforce a ban, he said, adding he was confident it would pass with bipartisan support.
Anti-dog meat bills have failed in the past because of protests by those in the industry, and concern for the livelihoods of farmers and restaurant owners.
