South Korea has voted to ban dog meat and end controversy around the ancient custom.
Activists say hundreds of thousands of dogs are farmed and killed in South Korea each year, but attitudes have changed in recent times and demand is at an all-time low.
The ban will make the breeding, slaughter and sale of dogs and dog meat for human consumption illegal from 2027.
There will be penalties of up to three years in prison or a fine of up to 30m KRW (£18,000).
Setting up new dog farms, slaughterhouses and cooking and processing facilities will be banned immediately.
However, the bill does not stipulate penalties for eating dog meat.
South Korea's parliament endorsed the bill by 208 votes to zero on Tuesday, but some dog farmers said they planned an appeal and protests.
Similar anti-dog meat laws have failed in the past because of protests and concerns about the livelihoods of farmers and restaurant owners.
However, the ban includes a three-year grace period and support for businesses to transition away from the trade.
Son Won Hak, leader of a farmers' association, said they would take action over the ban, calling it "clear state violence" and that the government was "infringing upon freedom of occupational option".
