Illegal dog farm in Nonsan, Deokpyeong-ri - e-People response 012417

Call for Action: Illegal puppy mill/dog farm in Nonsan, Deokpyeong-ri.In Nonsan, South Korea, there is a puppy mill/farm operating illegally and we would like the City of Nonsan to take action to close it down. This place, in Chungcheongnam-do, Nonsan-si, Bujeok-myeon Deokpyeong-ri 21-14, breeds dogs for pets and also for meat. Their dogs, of various breeds and sizes, are kept in deplorable conditions, and the immense suffering which they are forced to endure is beyond imagination. When any of their dogs become too old or sick to produce litters for the pet trade, the operators get rid of them by selling them on to the dog-meat industry.

We are asking the City of Nonsan to immediately take action to close this place down on a permanent basis, and also to impose fines against the operators for the many legal violations. We also want Nonsan to rescue all of the dogs from this farm and to arrange for them to be adopted out to loving and caring homes. Please file an online petition with the Korean government using their official petition site: e-people Today.

      God created Adam to take care of his animals, not keep them captive for human entertainment, nor abuse, torture, eat or kill them.
      The Bible commands us to take care of the animals under our care. One of the signs of a righteous man, the Bible says, is that he takes care of his animals (see Proverbs 12:10)

      These kinds of abuses of mans best friend our dogs, is trully criminal, disgusting, horrendously cruel, totally unacceptable. those breeding, growing dogs, kidnapping dogs, only to slaughter them must be arrested, imprisoned, and heavily fined to make an example of them and show others that this is serious business, that humans can no longer get away with such abuses and sustaining only a slap on the wrist.

      We can all agree that everyone that has written their comments have a common interest and goal
      Regarding l this subject. I know that as animal lovers we are Heart broken over this tragedy, we lose sleep, we cry, we scream with rage towards those that people. our souls are filled with sorrow over the suffering others have endured. As animal lovers I am sure at some point In our lives we may questioned and struggled with the morality of eating our non-family vs family. We can talk about what sort of animal qualifies to be in each category. Let’s be reAl it comes down to this: we can cuddle With a feline or canine, not a cow or pig. When u say all animals have rights, are u thinking the same thought when u bite into ur steak or bacon. Do u also think about our non-family suffering so they can be on ur plate with a1 sauce and a sprig of parsley or do u simply close ur eyes and say yumm, glad I’m not one of those non Christian primitives that eats their family. Please don’t get me wrong – i applaud everyones passion and love for our Canine and feline family, doing what we can in our own way to make a difference. I’m there w you, hating those that perpetuate this monstrosity, forever signing those petitions. I just think we need to be more aware of the hypocrisy we include in our statements. We Should remember this is a Korean based organization run by Koreans on their home turf on the front line fighting to end this when we make generalizations about Korea or other Asian countries. Whilst we voice out our anger, I hope we exert the same amount of energy supporting this organizations and providing them the support they desperately need. I would like to see what other non passive actions we can take besides waiting for karma to return the favor. Would love to hear suggestions

      Die Grausamkeit,Brutalität,Mitleidslosigkeit und Abstumpfung, die man in Süd Korea (auch China) gegenüber hilflosem Mitgeschöpfen feststellen muss, ist unfassbar. “Menschen”, die dazu fähig sind, sind in meinen Augen keine Menschen, es sind Bestien in Menschengestalt, die mit Sicherheit auch keinen Hehl daraus machen würden, die gleiche Grausamkeit gegenüber Menschen anzuwenden. Unglaublich ist auch, dass die Süd Koreanische Regierung nicht in der Lage oder gewillt ist, dem endlich ein Ende zu setzen. In meinen Augen kann es kein Land mit zivilisierten Menschen sein, denn wo im 21.Jahrhundert noch solche Überlieferungen Bestand haben, ist die Zeit stehen geblieben. Für uns gilt:” Kein Erzeugnis aus solchen Ländern erwerben und solche Länder generell boykottieren.

      How very sad this is. You have choices, yet you continue to partake in this barbaric practice! As a country, the US should have no dealing with any country that would perpetuate this type of treatment to an animal. I will NOT buy another items made in those countries! The pictures shown are of breeds so loved here in the US. If I had my way, your country and all the others treating dogs and cats as food would never see the likes of these species again. I do hope there is such a thing as karma…you will get yours!

      Does the pain from the daily torment and torture you cause to animals mean that much to you? Honestly? Does the thought of bringing an animal species to extinction not bother you? To think your selfishness, ignorance and greed will take away the chance for generations all over the world to see the beauty of an animal forever. When we show our children’s children a picture of an animal extinct from the blood on your hands and they ask what happened to them and we answer the people from Asian countries killed them all. That doesn’t bother you? Or bring you shame knowing that you had a choice to change things but you didn’t csre? It has been a year or two that the world has really stepped up and begged, signed petitions, screamed and cried for the torture to stop. It’s not necessary, your not starving, it doesn’t really do the medical treatment you claim, it’s unhealthy to you and your children both physically and mentally. The world is disgusted and enraged at your actions, you’ve lost respect and your honor for the people and the society of your country. Your children and future generations are left to clean up and try to repair the legacy of evil and disgrace, the damage you have created by your total lack of resoect , and disregard to God’s gift to humsns, the gift of animals as beautiful compassionate creatures that have such a beautiful capacity to add joy and love to one another, to live peacefully without destroying the world around them. How we came to the conclusion that we were the superior species I will never know. Please make 2017 be the year of change, stop the ugliness of greed and ignorance. Show the world humanity exists, the mess of destruction can be cleanef , the horror of screaming in pain can be replaced with laughter and peace. Show the generations to come that respect of life is more important and respectful to all. This can be the year for the world to give back to the lives and the beauty we have so carelessly destroyed and taken for granted and show our future generations how much we love them.
