Barbados Olympic Association speaks out against cruelty! And we sincerely thank them!
Following a letter sent by Francie to the Barbados Olympic Association we received an encouraging response saying that they will be contacting the IOC about the (in their own words) “intolerable situation” of the dog and cat meat trades in South Korea, and they hope that the IOC will, in turn, interface with the South Korean Government.
We want Steve Stoute, the President, and his associates, in the Barbados Olympic Association, to know how much we appreciate their positive response and action; it is inspirational to hear that an island nation is willing to speak out against unacceptable animal cruelty in a foreign country, particularly as Barbados is a country that may not traditionally participate in the Winter Olympics – and many other larger nations are doing their best to keep a ‘low profile’ by saying nothing.
Thank you Barbados Olympic Association, on behalf of all the animals involved in, and those opposed to, the dog and cat meat trades!
Call for action
Steve Stoute, President of the Barbados Olympic Association, said in his letter: “it is our hope that in some small way, we can help to eradicate this cruelty”. Special words, because many small actions amount to an enormous impact – so click HERE to keep writing to other members of the Association of National Olympic Committees (ANOC) urging them to speak out, and to boycott the PyeongChang 2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea.

Thank you so much Steve Stoute and the Barbados Olympic Committee. You are the Olympic Winners. With your help and others, hopefully soon, the DMT will come to an end and the suffering dogs and cats will be suffering no more and will also be the winners.
I wish the Finnish politicians would show as much bravery as Barbados.
Thank you Barbados Olympic Committee for your stance on this horrible trade that is going on in South Korea. The treatment of cats and dogs by these animal traders and their supporters just has to stop and you have done a grand job by stating your opposition to this barbaric trade . All decent humans in this world support your action.
Thankyou Barbados, wish that more Counties would stand up to the Korian authorities to wipe out the cruelty there.
Big Big Thanks for sticking up for the dogs.
Thank you for speaking out about this barbaric and inhumane practice. Please take any steps necessary to end this “meat market”.
Bitte bleibt weiter dran um diese barbarischen Taten schnellstmöglich zu unterbinden, danke
Whilst no country has the right to insist that a foreign country change its traditions, none-the-less, we can all still beg for mercy. Thank you for so doing, and for listening with your heart.

Thank you BOC!
Barbados Olympic Association, you are wonderful . GOD BLESS YOU !
Great job! Thanks to the Barbados Olympic Association! Hoping that there would be MORE organisations like YOU!
I’m a Korean and a former dog owner. I never hit or even scolded my dog. I didn’t impose my will on him in any way. I cooked him chicken drumsticks for meals while I’m mostly vegan. I’ve never eaten a dog or cat in my life. I think the practice is dying out with the Korean boomers. Their rather coarse lifestyle and mentality is disappearing, hopefully. They themselves were worked to death and could be seen slaves in a lot of ways.
