Mayor Lee overreacts to Ban Ki-Moon’s statement with defensive back-lash on Social Media
While visiting Korea last May, UN Secretary General Ban Ki‐Moon stated: “The world’s perception about Korea is of a ‘much lower level’ than our perception of ourselves. In that respect, in order to ‘raise this level’, it is very important that the media plays its role to guide (awaken or enlighten) our citizens.”
As a response to this statement by Mr. Ban, Mayor Lee Jae-Myung of Seongam posted a typically defensive reply on his Facebook page saying that “Ban Ki‐Moon is calling Koreans ‘dogs/pigs’” and asked for opinions from his Facebook followers. Is the Mayor just being defensive because he has failed to take any action to close down its own infamous Moran Dog-meat Market (the largest in Korea)?
This ‘head-in-the-sand’ and misplaced defensive attitude from Mayor Lee is exactly what is preventing Korea from moving towards the change that Mr Ban is calling for. Mr Ban seems to understand that the world will not raise its perception of a country that continues to carry out (and defend) the inhumane dog-meat trades, and we believe he is asking Koreans to wake up, do something about their uncaring and apathetic attitudes, and put an end to the abhorrent practice of eating dogs.

This kind of atrocities should not be happening. The dog meat trade must be stopped for good. The government of Korea should start cleaning out
the dog meat trade , close down the dog meat restaurants and dog farms forever. Until the government of Korea does these thing, the rest of the world will think of them & uncivilized and barbaric.
South Korea and their vile Government is an absolute disgrace allowing the unimaginable heinous torture and suffering of defenceless and innocent dogs and cats to continue, and the Government knowing fully of the heinous and unimaginable torture and suffering these Korean monsters commit against defenceless and innocent dogs and cats. These South Korean animal torturing monsters are known as the vilest of animal torturers Worldwide. No wonder they are hated and despised Worldwide. These animal torturing South Korean monsters all deserve to be torture to death by the heinous torture and suffering they commit against innocent and defenceless dogs and cats. Absolutely sickening and unforgivable. Sadism and evilness at its worst.
Get with the times!!! Dog meat does NOT cure impotence, or increase virility, or ward off evil spirits!!! STOP THE ILLEGAL DOG MEAT TRADE!!!!!
Please stop this cruel and very unnecessary act. Dogs and cats are pets and companions to humans. They are NOT food, they are NOT to be eaten.
Please end the tortuous treatment of dogs and cats. Please end the consumption of these animals. Please make laws to protect the animals.
Please end the torture of dogs nd cats. And end the consumption of these numbers map. Also create laws for animal protection and enforce the laws.
This barbaric & heinous crime against these innocent animals has to end now! It is known world wide that the continued torture & slaughter of animals by 3rd world mentality is making Asia a very disgusting country!!
Its’ about time that someone got their head out of the sand and see what the rest of the world sees … a bunch of sadistic, antiquated thinking and barbarians who don’t give … I’m sure I don’t need to finish that sentence.
Right ON, Bev………the truth as it is told 🙂 !!!
Absolutely – Yes! 🙂

Please stop abusing dogs and cats..civilise cultures view dogs and cats as pets nit food. As a nation you have excel in the field of technology but you continue to show barbaric methods of cruelty towards pets. Please wake up and come into the 21 century and prove to animal lovers that u will start to implement Animal Welfare acts. Please see and understand that animals have feelings and they too.can feel pain and sorrow.

S il vous plaît faites cesser ces horreurs …. Aucune nation ne devrait tolérer ça !!!! Pensez a ces chiens et chats tortures brules vifs ou bouillis … C est honteux ! Indigne !
Obviously Mayor Lee Jae-Myung of Seongam confirms that the opinion we have of South Korea is correct! BARBARIC, CRUEL AND UNWILLING TO CHANGE!!!
Backwards, just backwards. Thinking that dog meat cures ill makes Koreans looks backwards, callous and vicious. And it is a shame, as it is a people with many things to offer. Time to get with the times and bring the worthy forward and relegate past barbaric practices to the past.
La única presión que sentirán para dejar de realizar estas matanzas, es el bloqueo tanto económico como social. Y eso está en manos del resto de países y hasta que los gobiernos no tomen medidas seguirá ocurriendo.
Stop cruelty and sadistic behavior to animal, dogs and cats !! They have their life right. please stop!!
Your vile barbaric laws allow these animals to be slaughtered in such a cruel horrific way . You need to stop the consumption of cats and dogs and realise that the world is watching you . Your government needs to stop all consumption .
Dog and cat meat industry is savage. Please stop it now!!!
Have you watched these undercover videos? Is this the 21st century? We cannot condone torture and call ourselves civilised ! How we treat animals says everything about our society. Yours is cruel and unwilling to change. My family will not be buying anything Korean or Chinese until you change. I will be sharing any footage of cruelty on face book and as I work in television it will and has been seen by influential people who care
Surely in a civilised country such as Korea – dogs and Cats should no longer be a part of the dinner service… Please please have a heart and think about the pain and suffering these animals go through to get on your dinner plate
Stop. It’s disgusting and unnecessary. Very sad and pathetic. Lack of empathy and compassion= no respect, that’s your fault. Do something good!
While I take issue with people who generalise (usually hypocritically) about specific individuals being indicative of an entire population, my opinion of ALL people who promote cruelty and criminality for convenience is of a ‘low level’, as UN Secretary General Ban Ki‐Moon has put it, in the sense that they are ill-informed or misguided. Not as ‘dogs/pigs’, but as poor specimens of humankind, which is much worse. When it comes to politicians who aid and abet such promotion to line their own pockets, that low opinion plummets to darker, dirtier depths. Mayor Lee Jae-Myung, your actions are vile, stupid and corrupt. May you be rewarded as richly as you deserve (and may all of us).
Please stop these haneous acts, and this hell. These are companion animals,not food. Please stop.
Murdering the voiceless and defenceless is the greatest act of cruelty!!!
Please STOP as karma awaits you!!!
Soon you will be seen as what you are: criminals disguised in techno advance, giving a face you don’t have or are. Soon your products will be ban from all countries, and that’s what really hurts you: MONEY
The Koreans along with the Chinese are barbaric, their treatment of animals including the use of elephant hide and rhino horn is appalling.
I find this very disturbing in this day and age that Korean leaders condone this torture. You should be leading your country into the next century. You should be concerned about the health of your people and the perception of your country. This is a global economy and the majority of the world looks at this a unnecessary cruelty. I feel so strongly about it that I have no desire to visit your country or interact with your people. I will not purchase anything made in your country. I hope you see these statements made by people as a starting point to reflect on what you are allowing to happened and become a instrument of change. The young people, the educated people, and the future of your country depend on their leaders to support necessary change for the future of your country.
How long you are asked to stop the trade of cat and dog meat?
How long in china and korea activists of these countries are clamoring to stop the torture of pets and consider them such and not beef stock?
How many years with enormous sacrifices activists have put the net and shot (even now) all the abuses being perpetrated in the so-called farms from the “meat dog” and “public and clandestine slaughterhouses”?
How long the people of the world demands a halt to the trafficking and consumption of dog meat and cat with petitions that have reached millions of signatures?
How long BAN Ki MOON and ‘under fire from all associations and all people who believe that a Korean to lead the “United Nations should rappersentare a country CIVIL”?
When did you visit your market MORAN MARKET or a farm, you go to see and hear, smell and perceive the torment if you dare!
Convert ALL THIS HORROR CAN ‘.
DOGS / CATS ARE A RESOURCE IN THE WORLD AND NOT ONLY FOR PETS.
COMPANIES THAT MAKE PRODUCTS FOR PETS NOT KNOW THE CRISIS AND DAMAGE WORK TO THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE. IN ITALY IN THE EARTHQUAKE OF AUGUST FROM RESCUE DOGS HAVE HELPED AND SAVED HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE! IN POLICE AND CUSTOMS IN DOGS AND HELP FROM TERRORISTS ARE SAVING / TRAFFICKING DRUGS AND WEAPONS!
IN HOSPITALS DOGS ARE FROM SUPPORT TO THE SICK CHILDREN EAI!
FAMILIES IN A DOG OR CAT IN THE REST OF THE WORLD AND ‘THE FAMILY LOVED AND RESPECTED!
WHAT NOT TO UNDERSTAND EVERYTHING ‘
The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated. – Mahatma Gandhi
Blasted savage barbarians!!!!!!!
This is not civilisation this is barbarism, please show the world that you are a civilised nation and STOP this cruel treatment of dogs & cats
This is barbaric and sickening! Stop the senseless killings! Inhumane treatment of man’s best friends!
Please stop this horrible slaughter! The Korean people are better than this! Dogs and cats are here as our companions, not as food!
Stop this barbaric torture of dogs – they’re sentient beings..
Cruelty to animals must be condemned.
Disgusting, cruel, and heartless. What human being treats another living being this way? These people that do this to a living being are murderers! What makes you superior to these animals? Nothing.
This barbaric exil must cease.. There can be NO justification for this evil which unfortunately taints your whole nation.
”The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated” Mahatma Gandhi. South Korea is a barbaric nation. Stop the torture, stop the cruelty. Respect and compassion for all living creatures!
Barbarism is too nice of a word to describe what is being done to the dogs in Korea. I can not fathom how a person can accept this behavior and treatment of these dogs. With all the knowledge out there that explains how intelligent dogs are and how they handle emotions, sadness, pain, happiness there is only one reason why a person turns the blind eye to these horrific acts of cruelty, and that is greed. I will boycott everything that comes from your country until this is shutdown and made illegal. those who cause suffering on another animal like this will be cursed and live their life suffering into eternity. you believe in the afterlife then you better start thinking how horrible it will be for you. if you believe in reincarnation then you better start thinking about how it’s going to feel for you to return as a dog or any other animal faced with same extreme cruelty. if you believe in evolution then realize that you will die an extreme painful death.
Stop turning a blind eye to the dispicable barbaric acts of cruelty in your country. You have the means to change it, DO SOMETHING to HELP STOP the innocent lives that are brutally tourtured. If you do nothing , when you are fully aware of this savage, immoral, dispicable behavior, YOU are equally responsible for the crimes being committed against nature ,the innocent animals. Fix It. Now.
Please stop the cruel dog meat trade! In the continuing worldwide development of growing respect for animals and the apprehension that all animals have the right to live a life in freedom it doesn’t fit any longer to keep them in prison, or to exploit them Let animals live their life. Let an animal be an animal
Please recognize the intrinsic value of all animals!
This is so disgusting, no these people are. To take these dogs and treat them as if they have no feelings just makes one want to scream. Stop this insane acts against all dogs and try and become more human, because right now the world is watching and we don’t like what we see!
This torture to mans best friend brings nothing but shame to your country in the eyes of the rest of the world
A crime to these dogs and cats treated like trash in för example Korea!
WE ARE ALL GETTING PRETTY ANGRY AND FED UP WITH THIS SO CALLED SICK CULTURE, THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR YOU TO CATCH UP AND BECOME CIVILISED.. DOG MEAT COME ON..??? AND THE WAY YOU TORTURE, SKIN AND BOIL THOSE ANIMALS FOR THE PLEASURE.. JUST THE WORK OF LUCIFER.. WHO IS OUT TO DESTROY ALL THAT GOD CREATED.
Shame on this country! Shame on the people who do it and those as governors fail to take action! Those who accept and defend these practices have no right to call themselves a civilised people or humans at all.
The only decent Koreans worth supporting are the brave animal activists working to end this cruel dog/cat meat trade.The rest are selfish hypocrites stuck in an inferior culture the world does not need.
Sick third world country with ancient irrational beliefs. Boycott all Korean products
vile forms of life!!! may you all rot in hell for doing this to such innocent lives!!!!!
Vous êtes des salopards barbares! Stop! Arrêtez vos saloperies!
