ARK119 has completed the entry into the Gimpo dog slaughterhouse. It was so dirty and disgusting inside the slaughterhouse that we almost vomited. This dog slaughterhouse will now shut down. Today, ARK119’s National Campaign to Shut Down Dog Meat Industry will strike another dog slaughterhouse in Gimpo.
