Leafleting and Informational Event on South Korean Dog Meat Trade – November 1, 2015 – San Francisco, Fisherman’s Wharf

We had another amazing day of giving a voice to the voiceless South Korean dogs and cats. A big thank you to Elizabeth, Zandra, Kit, Don, Kathy, Yimei and Giny for your dedication to help end the horrific South Korean dog meat trade and spending your Sunday advocating for these South Korean dogs! We are so grateful for your caring hearts and compassion. We showcased our new Spanish leaflets for the visitors from the Spanish speaking countries and the Hispanic Americans not fluent in English. It was very helpful in reaching a new demographic. We also handed out about 500 bumper stickers that read “MAN’S BEST FRIENDS ARE NOT FOOD! KOREANDOGS.ORG”. We were there from 10am until 4pm and handed out about a thousand leaflets. Literally tens of thousands of people walked by and in shock and horror, saw our displays. They lined up in long lines to sign our petition addressed to the South Korean President Geun-Hye Park. We collected 715 petition signatures. We met a couple from Argentina who was appalled to learn about the cruelty and very interested in spreading the word in their country when they return home. So we gave them some extra Spanish leaflets to hand out to their friends and families. Even as we were taking down our displays, people were still lining up, wanting to sign our petition and help these poor dogs.

Anyone can take action to give a voice to the Korean dogs. If you live in the US and would like to organize an event in your city or simply want to hand out our leaflets to your friends, family, and neighbors, contact us and we would be happy to send you our campaign leaflets absolutely free. Campaign materials can also be sent outside the US, but at this time free shipping is available only to US residents due to the high cost of shipping to other countries. Please accept our apologies and our thanks!
