Snake smugglers will find hard time to do business this summer in South Korea. Starting June 16 to July 15, South Korean government will prohibit restaurant to serve snake meat or soup. According to AFP news, snake smugglers will be punished and they could go to a jail for up to one year while also pay fine for at least five million won (about $4,000 USD).
Many Koreans believe snake meat or soup could boost energy for the summer. Citing a South Korean official, AFP wrote "Occasionally, some celebrities and sports players were reported bragging about their consumption of virility-boosting food like snakes, but they should know it's all illegal."
