[Update February 14, 2017] Once again, supportive Glendale responds to the call to action against the dog meat trade.
Glendale Mayor Paula Devine
On February 14, 2017, we received another positive response from the City of Glendale regarding our campaign protesting their Sister City, Gimpo’s dog meat cruelty. Ms. Eliza Papazian from the City of Glendale’s Management Services sent us an email letter, as below, in which she states, “The City of Glendale has and continues to work in conjunction with our local Korean Sister City Association and Gimpo representatives to monitor this situation and ensure that these atrocities do not continue to occur.”
Previously, the former mayor of Glendale and the current city councilman, Mr. Zareh Sinanyan, reached out to Gimpo to call for action to enforce the law. Glendale is also the first city ever, as a result of our many Sister City/State campaigns and petitions, to kindly respond to us by taking positive action. We are very grateful to Mayor Paula Devine and the entire City Council of Glendale for caring about the poor Korean dogs and taking action to speak out for them.
We are also deeply thankful to all of you, our supporters, who have taken action to speak out against the cruelty to dogs and cats in Gimpo. Your support is invaluable and integral to our cause.

Dear Mayor Devine and the entire staff at the City of Glendale,
We would like to thank you and the City of Glendale for once again responding to our concerns raised through the petition on Change.org about the mistreatment, torture and consumption of companion animals in Glendale’s Sister City, Gimpo.
Both domestic and international pressure on this issue is required if we are going to incite some real change in South Korea, so I kindly urge that you continue to reach out to Gimpo until affirmative action has been taken by their authorities to end the horrific and illegal practice of the dog and cat meat trade for good. Thank you again for your efforts here.

Letter sent. Thank you so much for your work. I will donate as much as I can when I can.
Thank you, Mayor Devine, for supporting our ban against the dog Meat Trade.
Thank you for helping the animals. I can’t stand even thinking about what they do to these poor beings. I’ve signed so many petitions I’ve lost count!!
You are beautiful, inside and out! Thank you for your courage to take the steps to ending this horror for these poor dogs and cats. There is absolutely no excuse for making any living being suffer like this.
Thank you for your all you are doing to stop this unacceptable cruelty.
Thank you so much for taking action to stop the unthinkable dog and cat meat tradition in Korea. It’s hard to believe that the government allows such cruelty so it is up to individuals to put pressure on them to put an end to this atrocity.
Enough with killing animals. We have endless options to replace meat and its properties. Let’s leave animals, beings with feelings and a heart of their own, lead a happy and fair life.
Thank You so much for keeping this good work up! God bless You and everyone who speaks up for the animals!
God bless the dogs
THANK YOU for caring!
Thank you so much for helping stop the horrific cruelty, torture and slaughter of innocent animals. It is unbelievable that the government allows this horror to continue. We must all take action to stop this and if that means boycotting countries by not buying their products, vacationing in their countries then that is what we need to do. Horrific animal torture and killings= No tourists=No tourist $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
thank you, Fair causes will always be imposed
