Irvine City does it again – immediate response sent to Seoul’s Nowon District

Irvine Mayor Steven S. Choi

Irvine Mayor Steven S. Choi

We have just received a response to our campaign/petition, shown below, from the City of Irvine – and once again they didn’t let us down. We are very grateful to Mayor Choi and all of Irvine City Council, and its staff, for taking such immediate action to help the Korean dogs in the meat trade, and for being their voice! We are pleased to say that this is our 6th victory, even though we don’t yet know how Seoul’s Nowon District will respond. And, we are sure that, as a result of our campaigns, there are many more cities/states contacting their counterparts in Korea to address this issue, even though they have chosen not to respond to us. These Sister City campaigns, that put a spotlight on the Korean Government’s shameful indifference, are effective and therefore very important. So please keep up the great work and stay with us as we take on each one of the 162 such relationships, one by one. It could take many years to cover them all but we will not stop until Korea ends this brutality.

Suggested message to the Mayor and the City Council of Irvine

Dear Mayor Steven S. Choi and the City Council members:

Once again I would like to thank you and the City Council of Irvine for responding to our concerns raised, via the recent petition on Change.org, about the mistreatment, torture and consumption of companion animals in Irvine’s Friendship City, the Nowon District of Seoul.

Both domestic and international pressure on this issue is required if we are going to incite some real change in South Korea, so I kindly urge you to continue reaching out to your Friendship City until affirmative action is taken, by the Nowon District, to end the horrific practice of the dog-meat trade for good.

Thank you again for your efforts here.

      TY.The grotesque and cruel treatment of animals to make them taste better, animals that have been domesticated as companion animals to civilized people, this must stop. There can be no respect for people capable of such unspeakable brutality. Thank you for giving us hope.

    Mayor Steven S.Choi and City Council of Irvine, Many thanks for doing your part to stop the horrific torture and lack of compassion re: the dog and cat consumption of these innocent animals who can not ask for mercy themselves and depend on animal lovers to ask for them. Sincerely, Suzanne Billings.

    City of Irvine , WE LOVE YOU! Thank you for having the courage to suggest the Sister City needs to stop these inhumane , sadistic, demonic acts against God’s creations. We in the U.S. love our dogs and want to bring S. Korea around to appreciating their value as companions – not as tortured parts in a soup!
    We have also contacted other U.S. cities which have Sister City status with Korean cities. We hope your city will serve as a shining example of mercy to them.

    Thank you for standing up and recognizing that this is a huge problem in South Korea (as well as many other Asian countries). If they know enough people are watching, perhaps they might actually do something about it. Again, thank you for having the courage to be on board with this.

    Thank you for listening to us for fighting for these innocent creatures. You see, I truly believe that animals are the most innocent creatures on God’s green earth. They were not created to be treated like this, they were created for us as humans to love, respect and to be taken care of by us. They shower us with unconditional love no matter what. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
