Join the Protests – London, LA, Mexico City, NY & SF!

‘Boknal’ – Worse Than Yulin! Join the Protests – London, LA, Mexico City, NY & SF! Summer is a brutal and unforgiving season for the dogs in Korea. Dog consumption peaks especially during Boknal, the Korean “dog days of summer,” when eating dog meat is ritualized. This year, three Boknal days – considered the hottest days of summer – are July 17 (Chobok, the beginning of summer), July 27 (Joongbok, mid-summer), and August 16 (Malbok, the end of summer). During this period, hundreds of thousands of dogs will be brutally slaughtered because of the irrational belief by many Koreans that eating dog meat will increase their stamina and help to keep them cool during the hot summer days. Please join the animal rights activists worldwide in voicing our disgust at the South Korean government’s indifference in allowing this senseless barbaric trade to continue and help us raise awareness about the horrendous suffering inflicted upon our best and most loyal friends – the dogs and cats with whom we share our homes and our lives.
