North Korea bans dogs as pets - unless you plan to EAT and SKIN them

North Koreans risk the wrath of the regime if they keep dogs as pets, Pyongyang has decreed, warning that canines should only be kept for meat and fur.

The bizarre ban was announced through the Socialist Women's Union of Korea, according to a source in South Pyongan Province, which lies north of the capital.

Speaking to Daily NK, a newspaper in neighbouring , the source listed the offences that could leave dog owners in violation of the government's socialist ethos.
