Breeding, killing and selling dogs for their meat will be banned in a country where it has fallen out of favor. Hundreds of thousands of the animal were still being bred for human consumption.
Prime Minister Rishi Sunak announced steps to outlaw the dogs on Friday, after a string of deaths and a social media campaign piled pressure on the government to act.
About every five years, owners and their dogs travel to Guisachan in the Highlands to celebrate the anniversary of the breed’s founding. This year’s edition was the biggest yet.
