La Corea del Sud ha messo fuori legge l’allevamento e la vendita dei cani per l’industria del cibo. Il divieto inizierà nel 2027.
Negli ultimi anni, comunque, il consumo di carne di cane è diminuito molto nel paese, soprattutto tra i più giovani.
La diffusione dei cani come animali domestici, infatti, ha aumentato la sensibilità sul tema.

“il consumo di carne di cane è diminuito”
(the consumption of dog meat has decreased)
Like many other verbs in Italian, diminuire (to decrease) can be used both in transitive and intransitive way. Hence it can take both the auxilisiary verb essere and avere, depending on the type of action:
Essere > intransitive
Use “essere” when the verb “diminuire” is intransitive (does not have a direct object) and describes a change in state or condition:
– “La temperatura è diminuita” (The temperature has decreased)
Avere > transitive
Use “avere” when the verb is transitive (has a direct object) and refers to a specific thing being decreased:
– “Ho diminuito la velocità” (I decreased the speed)
South Korea has outlawed the breeding and sale of dogs for the food industry. The ban will take effect in 2027.
In recent years, however, the consumption of dog meat has significantly decreased in the country, especially among the younger population.
The spread of dogs as pets has indeed heightened awareness on the issue.
