[KS] Beginning of dog-meat consumption

[Walraven, B.C.A.]

Dear Julien,

 

It certainly isn't anything recent. In the Choson period people were
bribed with dog meat. Have a look at my chapter in Katarzyna Cwiertka
(ed.) Asian Food: the local and the global, where you will also find
other references. And look out for work by Elmer Veldkamp who has done a
PhD thesis at Tokyo University on attitudes toward animals in Korea and
Japan. He has published some articles in Japanese, Korean and English. 

 

Good luck,

 

Boudewijn Walraven

Subject: [KS] Beginning of dog-meat consumption

 

Dear all, 

 

I am currently doing ethnographic research on the emergence of animal
welfare in South Korea and am still unsure about the following question
for which I have received contradictory answers: when did dog-meat
consumption start in Korea?

 

Should it be traced back to antiquity or to 20th century food shortages?
I would deeply appreciate it if anyone knew of reliable sources I could
consult regarding the matter.

 

Many thanks in advance for any answer.
