Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, Shut down the illegal dog meat farms, slaughterhouses, markets, and restaurants.

Campaign updated on 7/5/2022.

If you want to help fight the grisly South Korean dog and cat meat trade and make a difference in South Korea, here are a few quick actions you can take that could save millions of dogs and cats each year.

In Gyeonggi Province, there are countless dog farms, slaughterhouses, markets, and restaurants where the dogs, who have been tortured their entire lives, end up being slaughtered in the most inhumane ways, such as by electrocution, hanging, or beating; and then thrown into boiling water – sometimes while they are still alive. In many places, dogs are being killed in full view of other terrified, caged dogs; and this takes place in broad daylight. In addition, many abandoned and stolen former pets end up in this industry and are subject to the same cruelty.

LCA/ALW’s 5-month Investigation into Seongnam Moran Market Exposes the Ongoing Cruelty of the Dog Meat Trade.

A Search Engine reveals the sickening scale of Gyeonggi Province’s dog meat demand.

Below are two search results on Naver (Korea’s most popular search engine). The first one was for so-called “Health Centers,” which commonly sell dog elixirs and cat elixirs (also known as dog soju and cat soju), and the second one was for “dog meat restaurants.”

The searches resulted in hundreds of Health Centers and dog meat restaurants in the vicinity of Gyeonggi Province.

Even if half of these ‘Health’ Centers and restaurants serve dog and cat ‘ingredients’ in one form or another, imagine how many dog/cat slaughterhouses must be present in the vicinity of Gyeonggi-do to supply these outlets.

There are laws in South Korea against selling dogs and cats for consumption, yet these laws are blatantly ignored.

    Dogs and cats are domesticated animals and are very gentle and loyal to people. They deserve to be treated with respect and kindness and men should not interfere with their natural habitat habitat unless to help them. Dogs and cats, just as all animals don’t deserve to be tortured and killed. No living things deserve such horrific actions. All are God’s beautiful creations and should be respected. Men who cause such pain and suffering are not humans. They are full of evil, without compassion. Please stop the killing and pain and suffering towards these beautiful, peaceful animals. Please have mercy on them. I pray to God to help them and to stop men from causing horrific, pain and suffering.

    Shut these illegal farms Now. What you are allowing to happen in your Country is illegal and barbaric. Dogs and Cats are loved throughout the World. They are treated with kindness and Respect there lives matter too. They are pets to people all around the World. They bring joy and happiness to families World wide. They are not used for food consumption for humans in other countries. What are you teaching your children and future generations that this unnecceary killing of innocent animals is acceptable. It is not. Those that are involved in the brutal murder of defenceless animals should be prosecuted and imprisoned for there act of cruelty to animals. In other Countries this would be dealt with. Serious consequences those that hurt innocent Animals would be imprisoned for there act of cruelty to animals. Why are you still allowing illegal and barbaric and pure evilness to continue in your Country. Shame on you the Korean Government. You are allowing these criminals to get away with it. All countries around the World are fighting for the end of this misery and cruelty to helpless Animals in your Country.

    Please stop murdering these loving beings. They have a soul, they have personality and have feelings as humans. They show fear, depression, joy, loyalty, and are obedient. They know what is happening to them when already sick and traumatized, It is inhumane to murder them for food. God’s word says in the Bible in Leviticus 11:27 animals with four legs with paws are unclean and are NOT for consumption. Please! In Jesus name stop this horrific torture and murder!
