The Hanwoo Association, which organized the massive rally, claimed that many cattle farmers have faced severe difficulties in their livelihoods, suffering losses of over 2.3 million won per head over the past two years.
Several ruling and opposition party lawmakers, including Eoh Kiy-gu, the head of the National Assembly's Agriculture, Food, Rural Affairs, Oceans and Fisheries committee, also attended the rally.
