It's summertime and dirty dog is on the menu in Seoul
The Seoul City Administration has announced that many of the dog meat restaurants in Seoul area were found to contain unhygenic kitchens filled with cockroaches.
From July 15 to 18, 2008 Seoul City has conducted a four-day intensive inspection on the restaurants selling dog meat.

The inspection by the city was done for the first time since 1988 Seoul Summer Olympics when most dog meat restaurants in the capital were forced to close or to move out of the city.
The spokesperson of the Seoul city, however, said that the control over the dog meat restaurant is far from approval of dog meat.
Koreans are known to enjoy dog meats particularly during the sweltering summer days. In Seoul area alone there are some 6,000 restaurants selling dog meat.
Annually 2 million dogs are butchered for the human consumption in South Korea.
