Export Stray Dogs To South Korea

It’s no secret that there are many stray animals on the streets in Malaysia and there have been humane efforts made to try and reduce this problem. Recently, an Umno assemblyman gave a suggestion to the state government on a rather unconventional method to combat this issue.

Tanjung Surat assemblyman Datuk Syed Sis Syed A. Rahman reportedly said that the Johor state government should catch these stray dogs and sell them to South Korea for their local dog meat market. The suggestion was made in a recent debate over on the 2019 Johor Budget to increase the state’s income. 

Syed Sis explained that many people in his constituency often complained about the stray dog problem they were having. He claimed that since South Korea slaughters about 2 million dogs per year, it was a good market for the stray dogs from Malaysia.
