As new construction of dog farm is in progress in Seogwipo, Namwoneup, Sumangri, nearby residents are strongly opposing.

According to the local residents of Sumangri and Seogwipo-city, in mountainous area of Sumangri, new construction of 6,000 ㎡ scale dog farm is in progress since last March.

Sumangri residents are claiming that they are suffering from manure odor, noise, environmental pollution from 4-5 large-scale dog farms already in the area and have been continuously filing civil complaints such as submitting petitions to the Seogwipo-city last year.

In particular, residents have delivered an opinion to the Seogwipo-city that the new construction of dog farms should no longer be approved. But this time, as new construction of dog farm pushes ahead, residents are resisting by protesting at the construction site and etc .

Residents said that there are problems with the approval process of dog farm in construction as well as the sanitation management and the treatment of excrement and waste of existing operations and said they will request investigation from the law enforcement agencies.

As group of local residents file public appeals with regard to dog farms, relevant city departments including Construction, Green Environment, Living Environment, Livestock, etc went into conducting joint site guidance and inspection.

Sumangri residents said “Residents have been suffering because of the existing dog farms until now and this new addition is bound to cause even more enormous damage” and said that they plan to take collective actions until the construction ceases and will take all actions available until this problem is resolved.

City officials said, “We could not disapprove the construction because there were no legal issues” and said that they will strengthen guidance and inspection in order to minimize negative impacts on the local residents and if a problem arises they will immediately take action to improve the situation.

      Have to agree, I’m sick of the people who cloud this issue with “go vegan or you can’t criticize”! NO other animal has the same history of service and loyalty to humans that the dog does, and we do not have seeing eye pigs, search and rescue cows, or guard sheep! Also, in most countries, although it’s never good enough, the expectation is that an animal will be slaughtered with as little pain, fear and suffering as possible, and yes it’s not always the case, but in stark contrast, the dog (and cat) meat industry is intentionally cruel and sadistic, and those animals go through literal torture. NO comparison in my books.

        @RJA
        They are not ‘clouding’ the issue at all. They are pointing out that it is wrong to eat ANY animal, whether the animal is or has been ‘of service’ to humans. Aren’t cows of service when they give milk? Aren’t chickens of service when they lay eggs for you? You are being idiotic for saying about seeing eye pigs, search and rescue cows, or guard sheep! You are being naive if you think that animals don’t suffer when slaughtered, or even waiting their turn as others go before them. Yes the dog and cat meat industry is cruel and sadistic. Any decent, compassionate person will agree with that, but at the same time you can’t ignore the disgusting practice of slaughterhouses because you find it unpleasant to think about it. As for vegans and vegetarians, they have every right to criticize. They are the ONLY ones with a clear conscience, and that is what annoys meat guzzling hypocrites. See links or turn away and continue to eat flesh.

    What would one expect from a filthy country where newborn babies are sold to be abused and killed by wealthy pedophiles from all over the world? Do you think they would care about dogs?

    @Derek Gritton.
    Why do you get so mad at people who mention pigs,cows, chickens when the subject of eating dogs comes up? Are you feeling uneasy because you are one of the greedy people who put their own stomachs before the lives of animals? People who desperately care for all the animals who are murdered, are not stupid assholes. They are decent people who never let an opportunity pass without pointing out the truth to the real assholes.
