Every week we ask a North Korean your questions, giving you the chance to learn more about the country we know so little about.

This week’s question is:

Je-son, you previously wrote a column on pets. Are there any veterinarians in North Korea?

I’m not sure if veterinary hospitals exist in Pyongyang and other regions of North Korea. But while I was growing up in North Korea, I never saw any veterinarians or animal hospitals in my hometown. There’s a possibility that there are some animal hospitals in Pyongyang, though, and I can’t say that there aren’t any elsewhere
