Governor Terry McAuliffe of Virgina, Governor Rick Scott of Florida, Governor Gary Herbert of Utah, Premier John Horgan of British Columbia(Canada) and Premier Annastacia Palaszczuk of Queensland(Australia): Tell Sister State, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, That We’re Opposed to the Torture and Consumption of Dogs and Cats.

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.

Gyeonggido Province Governor Kyung-Pil Nam

Gyeonggido Province Governor Kyung-Pil Nam

Gyeonggido Province of South Korea became a sister state with the U.S. states of Utah in 1983, Virginia in 1997, and Florida in 2000, and Queensland, Australia in 1997 and British Columbia, Canada in 2008.

This, despite the fact that Gyeonggido, South Korea is responsible for a horrendous dog and cat meat trade.

In South Korea, home to global companies such as Hyundai, Kia, Samsung, LG, Daewoo, SK, and POSCO, an estimated 2.5 million dogs are tortured and slaughtered every year because of the greed of dog eaters and the dog meat industry. One of the provinces that supports the illegal mass breeding and brutal slaughter of dogs for human consumption is Gyeonggido.

Have you ever wondered what Hell is like? Click HERE to watch undercover video from the Moran Dog Meat Market in Seongnam, Gyeonggido. There are no words to describe the daily horror of this “Hell On Earth.” And there are so many markets like this all around Gyeonggido.

Countless dog farms and slaughterhouses are scattered throughout Gyeonggido and they truly are hell on earth for the defenseless dogs suffering there. Man’s best friend exists for their entire lives in squalid, feces encrusted raised wire cages in utter misery only to be slaughtered in the most horrific ways – by electrocution, a hammer blow to the neck, being hung or beaten, bleeding to death from a slashed throat, being burned to death from a blowtorch, or thrown into a vat of boiling water while still alive. Dogs and puppies died of diseases are tossed away like garbage, left in front of cages to rot while the momma dogs watch in terror and despair. Seongnam, Suwon, Pocheon, Goyang(Ilsan), Gimpo, Incheon, Namyangju, Anseong, Uijeongbu; and on goes the list of cities in Gyeonggido where these terrible atrocities are perpetrated.

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

    A a civilized nation, South Korea has a duty to protect and not kill, torture and eat companion animals. There are alternatives like agriculture. Claiming
    the dog meat industry is a must and it is cultural is no longer an excuse to kill and torture these poor defenseless animals who have intelligence, emotion, and they experience fear and pain as humans do… its time for the elected officials to put a stop to this barbaric trade. The world is watching South Korea!! Do something to stop this!!! How a nation treats its animals says it all about a nation and how humane and compassionate and civilized it is.
