2. R/C
So this one is a policy that the government tries to be more friendly towards foreign tourists.
Several citizens, who support the eating of dog meat, still think that this law is actually impossible to
enforce.

There is nothing better than this law, because at least dog stealing would be less frequently.
If I could describe this policy in one word, that would be “awesome”.

for years as a family member and one day it is taken to the slaughter house, that would be very sad.
