When Kim Jong Un agreed to supply North Korean troops to Russia in return for money, technology, and oil, he did so with the stipulation that the Russians would supply them with the needed equipment and food and that the two forces would be forced to share. The Russian soldiers, already complaining that they never have enough even for themselves are not happy about this and disparage the North Koreans. And they grew even angrier recently when they found out what North Koreans shared with them when they brought with them a taste of home: canned dog meat.
While the more industrialized South Korea recently passed a ban on the dog meat trade (set to come into effect in 2027), in North Korea the practice is so widespread they’ve banned dogs as pets.
