North Koreans face consequences from the regime for keeping dogs as pets, as Pyongyang mandates that canines should only be raised for meat and fur, a decree issued through the Socialist Women’s Union of Korea has stated.
Reported by a source in South Pyongan Province, the ban targets behaviors deemed incompatible with the socialist lifestyle, such as treating dogs as family members and dressing them in human-like attire.
The regime considers such actions as bourgeois activities and a waste of resources in a capitalist society.
Dogs are regarded primarily as sources of meat and fur, and any deviation from this purpose is deemed unsocialist and must be eradicated.
One dog owner, distraught by the announcement, expressed anguish over the fate of her beloved pet, torn between her affection and the regime’s decree.
