We have received the response below from the Ulsan Buk-gu’s Welfare Economy Division, Agricultural and Fisheries Department regarding our campaign/petition:Ulsan Buk-gu, South Korea, Shut down the illegal dog meat farms, slaughterhouses, markets and restaurants.

In summary, they state that they have done, and will do, nothing to end the horrific cruelty of the dog meat industry. Their response is callous.

However, they state that in the future, their department will attempt to form a consensus on animal protection through education and promotions, which will foster social awareness that animals and humans should have an ethical companion relationship.

Our campaign is effective because now they are aware that the eyes of the world are watching their district’s dog meat industry and would bring this issue to the attention of their governments for action. Let’s keep up the pressure by taking action!

Before you buy a product from Samsung, Hyundai, Kia, or LG, or visit Korea and spend your hard-earned money there, please remember how the Korean government is supporting criminals in the cruel dog meat industry by turning a blind eye to the unimaginable suffering of millions of sentient animals.

Response from Ulsan Buk-gu in Korean:

Video: Ulsan Dog Meat Market illegal dog slaughter… Knife stuck in throat, gasping in agony.

Let’s keep taking actions until Ulsan Buk-gu bans the dog and cat meat industry.
