Sister City Campaign – Uijeongbu, South Korea – Richmond, Virginia
Mayor of Richmond, Virginia: Tell Sister City, Uijeongbu, South Korea, That We’re Opposed to 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.
Uijeongbu Mayor Byung-Young Ahn
Uijeongbu, South Korea became a Sister City with Richmond, Virgina in 1995, despite the fact that Uijeongbu, South Korea is responsible for a horrendous dog and cat meat cruelty.
In South Korea, home to global companies such as Hyundai, Kia, Samsung, LG, Daewoo, SK, and POSCO, an estimated 2.5 million dogs are tortured and slaughtered every year because of the greed of dog eaters and the dog meat industry, and the profound indifference of the majority of South Koreans who does nothing to stop this. One of the cities which supports the illegal mass breeding and brutal slaughter of dogs for human consumption is Uijeongbu.
Have you ever wondered what Hell is like? Watch the videos below from dog farms and slaughterhouses in Uijeongbu. There are no words to describe the daily horror of these “Hell On Earth.” And there are so many dog restaurants, slaughterhouses, farms and meat markets like these all around Uijeongbu.
Countless dog farms and slaughterhouses are scattered throughout Uijeongbu and they truly are hell on earth for the defenseless dogs suffering there. Man’s best friend exists for their entire lives in squalid, feces encrusted raised wire cages in utter misery only to be slaughtered in the most horrific ways – by electrocution, a hammer blow to the neck, being hung or beaten, bleeding to death from a slashed throat, being burned to death from a blowtorch, or thrown into a vat of boiling water while still alive.
There are laws in South Korea against selling dogs and cats for consumption, yet these laws are blatantly ignored.

Richmond should not be a Sister City to any city that allows dogs and cats to be tortured and eaten. Please urge Uijeongbu Mayor Byung-Young Ahn to close down all illegal dog farms and slaughterhouses, markets, truckers, and restaurants that serve their products. An online petition calling for your support in ending the horrendous South Korean dog and cat meat cruelty is in progress: https://www.change.org/p/richmond-mayor-the-hon-dwight-c-jones-tell-sister-city-uijeongbu-south-korea-that-we-re-opposed-to-torture-and-consumption-of-dogs-and-cats

Eating of dogs and cats need to stop. These animals were nor put here for food consumption. What u do is barbaric and cruel.
You are barbarians. You have no soul, no humanity. I will NEVER do anything to support your country or products until you treat animals humanely. You are hated by the western world for your cruelty.
Stop this. it is not necessary to eat any dogs or cats or other animals. we have enough healthy food (fruit and vegetables). That is so cruel? all animals feel also pain. Try it on your body self – you will feel how it hurts and how cruefull you are! Don’t torture anymore and live with dogs and cats together! you will see, those animals enrich our lives. pls stop this and let them live.
you are the great barbarians we ate you
you are the great barbarians we hate you
You are vile cruel barbaric bastards, you have no soul, i hope you die the same way you treat the poor dogs!!!!!
You are evil and cruel! God needs to wipe you off this world!
Please find compassion in your hearts to respect the lives of these animals..
All living things want to live and not die! This is a horrific act against wonderful creatures that are also entitled to being treated compassionately. Dogs and cats were not created for consumption, please stop.
