SEOUL — Just like people, pets also lose large amounts of blood from accidents, diseases and surgeries, and therefore require blood transfusions. But, there is currently not enough donated blood in South Korea.
That’s why keen attention is being paid to a bill recently proposed at the National Assembly that aims to set up a control tower within the Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries to oversee and facilitate blood collection for animals.Demand for blood transfusion for animals has been increasing as the number of pets grows here. According to a recent report by KB Financial Group’s research arm, the number of people who raise pets reached 14.
Despite a surge in pets, the country has suffered from a blood shortage over the past months, according to an official from the Korean Veterinary Medical Association.
