‘Eat Dog Meat’: Kim’s Heatwave Fix | Vantage on Firstpost

Listen to this article

A heatwave in East Asia has battered Japan, South Korea and North Korea. But Pyongyang is using the soaring temperatures as a propaganda opportunity. North Korean state media is showing off the country’s beaches and water parks to woo tourists. Meanwhile, the Kim Jong Un government is also trying to convince North Korean citizens to eat dog meat. The official newspaper of the Korean Workers’ party has recommended that people eat dog meat soup to beat the heat. Pyongyang has long pushed dog meat as a cheap, readily available source of protein. In this video, Firstpost looks at what North Korea is trying to achieve by propagating dog food, and why.
