Friendship City Campaign – Seoul, South Korea – Hokkaido, Japan
Governor Harumi Takahashi of Hokkaido: Tell Friendship City, Seoul, 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.
Seoul Mayor Won-Soon Park
Seoul became Friendship city with Hokkaido in 2010. Yet Seoul, South Korea is responsible for the ongoing horrendous torture and killing of dogs and cats.
Seoul Metropolitan City is the largest dog meat consumption area in South Korea. If you have ever wondered what hell would be like, just visit or watch the videos of dog slaughterhouses, markets and restaurants scattered all throughout Seoul. According to a recent report by Chosun TV news, there are more than 1,000 businesses that sell dog meat within Seoul. There are countless dog 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.
Korean TV news about Seoul Gyeongdong Dog Meat Market: https://koreandogs.org/street-horror-dog-slaughterhouses-heart-seoul/ Based on a recent news article, “South Korea’s dog meat clash“, there are 8 slaughterhouses around Cheongnyangri residential area near Gyeongdong market alone.

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

Hokkaido should not be a Friendship city to any city that allows dogs and cats to be tortured and eaten. Please urge Seoul Mayor Won-Soon Park 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/governor-harumi-takahashi-tell-friendship-city-seoul-korea-that-we-re-opposed-to-torture-consumption-of-dogs-cats

“How wrong are WE as a species with our arrogance that We Think We have the right to kill what We want when ever We see Fit ? Karma and or Mother Nature’s wrath is now upon US for the suffer OUR innocents?
Research and statistics have proven that individuals capable of such atrocities with animals are mentally ill and often move on to human victims. Force all governments to the stop dog meat trade by implementing maximum prison sentence laws and strict laws that mandate these criminals to register that they are animal abusers in the area that they reside in. It’s a major safety issue. People must be made of aware of these dog meat trade people who live in our neighborhoods as they have shown no remorse in killing animals in heinous methods. Sign petitions and comment that your governments are aware that humans who heinously abuse animals are mentally ill! Governments who do not act should be made accountable for allowing these criminals/mentally ill people to continue to abuse animals and/or humans!
End the dog/cat meat trade now!!! It is barbaric and cruel and no humane person would have anything to do with this cruelty!
The Only Logical and Moral response is VEGANISM.
