South Korean officials have closed down the country’s largest dog meat slaughterhouse, reports this week have indicated.

About a million dogs are eaten in South Korea each year. At the Taepyeong slaughterhouse, dogs were electrocuted to death before their remains were sold for meat, Humane Society International said.
