Sister City Campaign – Anseong, South Korea – Nashua, New Hampshire

Nashua Mayor Jim Donchess: Tell Sister City Anseong, 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.

Anseong Mayor Woo Seok-Jae

Nashua, New Hampshire became Sister city to South Korea’s Anseong (Gyeonggi-do) in 1988.

Anseong is one of the largest dog meat consumption areas in South Korea. There are countless dog farms, slaughterhouses, markets, and restaurants where the dogs, who have been tortured their entire lives, end up being slaughtered in the most inhumane ways, such as by electrocution, hanging, or beating, and then thrown into boiling water – sometimes while they are still alive. In many places, dogs are being killed in full view of other terrified, caged dogs; and this takes place in public and in broad daylight. In addition, many abandoned and stolen former pets end up in this industry and are subject to the same cruelty.

A Search Engine reveals the sickening scale of Anseong’s dog meat demand.

Shown below are two search results on Naver (the most popular search engine in Korea) – the first one was for so-called “Health Food Centers” which commonly sell dog elixirs and cat elixirs (also known as dog soju and cat soju), and the second one was for “dog meat restaurants.”

The searches resulted in dozens of 124 Health Food Centers; and 70 restaurants in the vicinity of the city of Anseong alone.

Even if half of these ‘Health’ Food Centers and restaurants serve dog and cat ‘ingredients’ in one form or another, imagine how many dog/cat slaughterhouses must be present in the vicinity of Anseong to supply these outlets.

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

Please watch the videos of dog farms in Anseong made by Professor Ann Yong-Geun also known as “Dr. Dogmeat” to promote Korean dog meat industry: https://youtu.be/YBKeTh5xJX4 https://youtu.be/CISKm0hjd9A

Suggested message to the Mayor of Nashua

Dear Mayor Jim Donchess and the members of Board of Aldermen of Nashua:

Please watch the below undercover videos of dog farms in Anseong: https://youtu.be/zbjFkY91g-k
https://youtu.be/ycMNoDtDwAI
Also please watch the undercover video from the documentary trailer by the Korea Observer: https://youtu.be/T6KKIZEjofs

Anseong is one of the largest dog meat consumption areas in South Korea. The Korean internet searches resulted in: 124 Health Food Centers which commonly sell dog/cat elixirs (also known as dog soju and cat soju); and 70 dog meat soup restaurants in the vicinity of the city of Anseong alone.

Do you think that Nashua should be a Sister city to any city that allows dogs and cats to be tortured and eaten? Please urge the Anseong Mayor Woo Seok-Jae to close down all illegal dog farms and slaughterhouses, markets, truckers, and restaurants that serve their products.
