    Dogs slaughtered while you wait in Daegu Chilseong Dog Meat Market, South Korea: https://koreandogs.org/daegu-chilseong-dog-meat-market/

    Imagine your Korea ~ where NO dogs (or cats) of any breed are: being bred, electrocuted, hanged, beaten, having their throats slashed, or are being boiled or burnt to death for their meat……

    Imagine your Korea ~ where the Korean people all join together to finally end this barbaric and uncivilized practice and where, instead of slaughter, they rescue, rehome, love and care for these voiceless creatures……

    Imagine your Korea ~ where lawmakers, politicians, educators and civil servants all act to shut down, criminalize and prosecute this appalling industry and where they show genuine and long term care for these defenseless animals in their nation….

    Imagine your Korea ~ where your multibillion-dollar corporations, with all their charters on social and community responsibility, improve their charters to include animal rights and welfare obligations as part of a healthy society ~ where ALL breeds of dogs (and cats) can live and be loved and cared for….

    Without the help of dogs and cats civilization as we know it clearly would not exist.
    Without the help of dogs it would not have been possible for our far ancestors to change
    their nomadic way of life against a settled one. No dogs – no domesticated animal herds the dogs helped to defend against predators; no dogs – nobody to keep watch against enemies; no dogs – no aid in hunting.
    No cats – no one to defend crops against the onslaught of noxious rodents.
    We OWE dogs and cats a lot. It is about time we repay them a little bit of this debt in form of kindness or at least – mercy.
    Thank You!

      I can never consider visiting any country tha persists in treating sentient beings in such horrendous ways, it is unthinkable. This is not culture, this is sadistic behavior supported by the people. It is a disgrace! Society must change…foot binding was a norn, child slavery was a norm (still is), slavery was acceptable…

      This is so true, without dogs (and horses) we WOULD NOT BE WHERE WE ARE TODAY. THEY WERE NOT DOMESTICATED FOR THIS PURPOSE. WE MUST FIGHT EVERY DAY FOR THIS….WE MUST KEEP UP THE PRESSURE RELENTLESSLY.

    I am ashamed and appalled that there are still members of the human race that are so uncaring and apathetic that they would not consider the animal abuse of the dogs and cats of your country an international disgrace. Yo9u shame our species, and in this world you shame your nation by allowing this evil to happen. There is truly such a thing as Karma, and I know that Karma is something that you DO believe in. I hope and pray that the Karma that any of you who have slapped the wrist, or even participated in this Hellish evil will come back on you 10 fold! Your country is at the forfront of this ignorance, and I have pledged to disclose,and to share these abominable acts to the public as much as I possibly can. I run 2 Pages dedicated to ANIMAL ABUSE and AWARENESS, and I will see to it that the stories of evil and disgrace that comes from your part of the world is public knowledge! You disgust me, and I know that I speak for the majority of people who know of the horrors that come from your country! Until I see that new laws are established to protect those innocent creatures who have no voice, and no way to defend themselves, from those who revel in the abhorrent suffering of the innocent, I pledge to do all I can to make the world know of these ugly truths!

    You do NOT need to slaughter dogs and cats — it is reprehensible, cruel, sadistic, unconscionable, irrational, merciless, shameful to treat cats and dogs in this way — it MUST STOP — the world cannot accept such horror and brutality against innocent, vulnerable living beings who are always at our mercy. — We’re betraying them — Let’s get rational, let’s think clearly, let’s get compassionate — let’s do the right thing by these animals.

    BOILING 600 CATS ALIVE — We do NOT want repeats of such acts against cats & other animals — It’s pure INSANITY — no civil, moral society would tolerate this horror & torturous cruelty to animals — it’s beyond unconscionable & merciless — THE WORLD KNOWS — we cannot allow such heinous atrocities against animals — where’s our rationality? — where’s our sanity? — where’s our compassion? — where’s our morality? — DO NOT TURN A BLIND EYE to this NEEDLESS brutal horror.

    How can WE allow this to continue? If this were a child, EVERYONE would be up in arms. Well news flash…this is a precious child…one that loves unconditionally and one that doesn’t judge you, they are loyal and loving and all they ask for in return is your love. PLEASE, EVERYONE, who sees this..call, write, text, twitter, email, do whatever you have to do but PLEASE GET THE WORD OUT TO KOREA that THIS has got to STOP….NOW!

    Please, stop this awful cruelty against these very poor, abandoned animals. It is heartbreaking to see their immense suffering and it makes me cry!!!
    We need to feel compassion and to teach our children that animals need to be treated with love and respect because they belong; exactly like we do; to the circle of life!
    And that is what we try to teach our children and grandchildren; to live on a planet with a high civilization; together with all these beautiful animals without cruelty.
