Tenri (Nara Prefecture), Japan became Sister city to South Korea’s Seosan (Chungcheongnam-do) in 1991.

Yet Seosan, South Korea is responsible for the ongoing horrendous torture and killing of dogs and cats. Seosan is one of the largest dog meat consumption areas as well as dog farm areas in South Korea. If you have ever wondered what hell would be like, just visit or watch the videos of dog farms and slaughterhouses scattered all throughout Seosan. There are countless dog farms from small to very large, markets and restaurants where the dogs, who are 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.

Please watch this video of a dog farm in Seosan which breeds 1,000 dogs for human consumption: https://youtu.be/2myNtNND4mU.

Also please watch the undercover video from the documentary trailer by the Korea Observer: https://youtu.be/T6KKIZEjofs

    These people involved in crimes against animals should have their hands chopped off so they can never harm any animal, ever again. They will feel no pain, because they have no heart. These are God’s greatest creations, Dogs. We are to shepherd and care for them.

    The history of cats and dogs, as far as I know, throughout the world has not been for eating, the relationship that has evolved makes your using them as food, animals with such hearts, barbaric. Please stop it!!

      South Koreans, one of the world’s great economic powerhouses. So advanced yet so uncivilized when it comes to animals. They commit heinous crimes against man’s best friend. These individuals have poison in their veins, and hearts are putrid and foul. May God curse those guilty of these crimes as they have no forgiveness. I will never, ever set foot in your country and will not buy any of your blood-stained products as beautiful and sophisticated they may be. Burn in hell you savage bastards!

    I advocate that we band together globally and exterminate each and every one of these filth-bag dog and cat murderers in as slow and painful manner as possible.
