In South Korea, dogs are deprived of everything natural to them. From birth to death, they are imprisoned in deplorable tiny excrement-encrusted raised wire cages, fed rotten garbage with no protection from the scorching heat of summer and the freezing cold of winter with no water, medical care, or human interaction. This is hell on earth for these dogs, and they have to endure a life of utter misery and agony only to meet their ghastly fate of being electrocuted, hanged, beaten, burned, and sometimes alive.

It is hard to believe that a nation such as S. Korea, which is one of the major economic powers and boasts the highest education level in the world, is still committing this brutal and inhumane atrocity in this day and age. But for the millions of dogs and cats that are being slaughtered each year in South Korea’s markets, slaughterhouses, restaurants, dog farms, and private residences, it is a tragic reality that they can’t escape from.

If South Korea wants to join the civilized nations and be respected not only as a nation of economic miracles but as a nation of conscience, it needs to strengthen its animal protection law and ban dog and cat consumption once and for all. This has been going on way too long, and it’s time for their government to take moral leadership for their citizens. Not only does this benefit the animals of S. Korea, but it will further their economic interest in the world because caring people of the world will not stop speaking out against S. Korea and boycott their products until this abomination comes to an end.
