As reported earlier, Animal Rescue Korea 119 (ARK119) is currently on its 16-day journey to shut down dog farms and slaughterhouses around Gimpo, Incheon Ganghwa, and the dog auction market in Paju. You can view updates posted on their Facebook page and YouTube channel.
Yesterday, July 15, 2021, ARK119 raided a massive illegal dog farm in Incheon Ganghwa (Incheon Ganghwa-gun Buleun-myeonSamseong-ri 439) and live-streamed the whole event on YouTube. The livestream video was taken down, but it’s back up now. 👉 Click HERE to watch. There must have been threats from someone. I watched the entire livestream for over 3 hours, and it was HELL. I am very traumatized by what I saw. So much unspeakable suffering of so many defenseless animals, which devastated me. ARK119 brought with them an SBS News report team and contacted local police, government officials, and agency that protects disabled people to come out to the scene. (Watch the news below) A man with an intellectual disability had been working at the dog farm for many years, and it is suspected that the female dog farmer had exploited his disability. The government authorities arrived at the scene to rescue this man, but the dogs weren’t as lucky.
This illegal dog farm has violated approximately 10 different laws and will most likely be shut down, but unfortunately, the dogs, 500, according to the SBS news, cannot be saved. ARK119 doesn’t have the money to save that many dogs, and most likely, all of them will be sold to slaughterhouses or other dog farms. It’s heartbreaking, but this is the reality of South Korea’s dog meat industry; no one can save all the dogs at these dog farms. The task is an enormous one, costing hundreds of thousands of dollars, a sum that the dog rescuers don’t have.
After repeated calls from the ARK119, the Ganghwa County veterinarian and the Livestock Department officials came out to the dog farm to look at the conditions of the dogs. What do they think about the state of these dogs? These dogs were given rotten kimchi slop garbage covered with mold, no water anywhere in scorching heat, and forced to stand on rusty, raised wire cages. The dogs are forced to have puppies repeatedly in their feces, puppies dying and decaying in front of their moms, dogs in hellish conditions without medical care. Is this animal cruelty or not?
Why does the Ganghwa government do nothing about countless hellish dog farms like this one scattered throughout their county? What is Incheon doing about the illegal dog farms in their city that are brutalizing and torturing tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of dogs?
Shame on Incheon, shame on Ganghwa County, and shame on the South Korean Government!
Animal activists who have been working many months trying to get this dog farm closed are left brokenhearted and feeling helpless. Shutting down illegal dog farms is the responsibility of their government and not the animal activists. But because of South Korea’s callous, profoundly indifferent government and lack of moral leadership, millions of dogs live in utter hell today. Do you want to buy Samsung, LG, Hyundai, Kia products? Please remember this!
This is why we continue to campaign so that we can stop this terrible dog meat industry and bring an end to dog meat consumption in Korea.
Thank you, ARK119!

500 dogs in Hell (500마리 개들의 지옥…그리고 처참한 ‘그’도 있었다) https://news.sbs.co.kr/news/endPage.do?news_id=N1006393602Please save all 500 dogs from the hellscape illegal dog farm (Incheon Ganghwa-gun Buleun-myeon Samseong-ri 439) and provide them with the urgent and immediate medical care that they require and find them safe, loving, permanent homes.
They have suffered unimaginable cruelty and unspeakable pain their entire lives. Countless defenseless animals have met their death at this illegal dog farm, at the hands of a callous dog meat farmer and because of the profoundly indifferent Incheon Ganghwa-gun government and the South Korean government.
They are victims of extreme abuse and cruelty and they need to be confiscated from the criminal and provided protection and care immediately.
We, the people of the world, are watching this case with broken a heart and utter disappointment for the Korean people. We look forward to your immediate actions.

500마리 개들의 지옥…그리고 처참한 ‘그’도 있었다.
https://news.sbs.co.kr/news/endPage.do?news_id=N1006393602지옥 같은 불법개농장 (인천 강화군 불은면 삼성리 439)에서 개 500마리를 모두 긴급 격리 조치해 주시고 의료 검진를 제공하여 이 아이들에게 안전하고 사랑 받을 수 있게 영원한 안식처 가족을 찾아 입양 갈 수 있도록 선처해 주시길 강력히 요청합니다.
이 아이들은 평생을 상상할 수 없을 만큼 잔인함과 말할 수 없는 고통을 겪었습니다. 인천 강화군 정부와 한국 정부의 무관심으로 인해, 그리고 잔인한 개농장 주인에 의해 너무나도 많은 죄없는 동물들이 이곳에서 처참한 죽음을 당했습니다.
이 개들은 극도의 잔인한 학대의 피해자입니다. 동물 학대자인 개농장 주인으로부터 피학대견들 모두 긴급 격리 조치 되어야 하며 보호와 보살핌을 받아야 합니다.
우리 전 세계인들은 이 개농장을 보면서 경악하였고 마음이 너무도 아팠습니다. 그리고 한국 국민들에 대해 깊게 실망하게 되었습니다.
인천강화군 정부의 즉각적인 조치를 촉구합니다.

Video: “Hell for 500 dogs”. SBS News reported on this raid. Note, it focuses more upon a worker who has been at this farm for 10 years (who suffers from an intellectual disability) and sadly not enough on the horrible cruelty of this hellscape dog farm. The reporter says that the police launched an internal investigation into all illegal activities and violations committed at this dog farm and as soon as the charges are brought from the local government, they will start a full scale investigation. 500마리 개들의 지옥…그리고 처참한 ‘그’도 있었다

Talk about a hell hole. The pics are just disgusting. These dogs deserve a life not
one filthy cages waiting to be torn apart for food? Normal people don’t eat dogs or
cats. Hope these. unclean unsanitary places get shut down for ever. Really heart rendering!
Se debe pedir ayuda a algun gobierno urgente.
This is SICK!! What kind of people do this to innocent animals??
For your honor; with your honor end this atrocity! The good people of South Korea that do not agree with the torture and murder of Korean dogs do not deserve the hatred and shame of the world. With friendship,Lori Feinman
So desumane.
Pure hell.
The condition of these poor dogs is ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING. They have injured feet from standing on wire, infected eyes from living in filth and heaven alone knows what other diseases. In my opinion only a country with an evil government would allow this situation.
Signed petition and filed petition on E-People.
Wanted to send a small donation to ARK119 but paypal singapore wont send it due to regulations.
Thank you, Adeline!!
Always judge a culture by the way it is treating its animals. Shame on you Korea.
This is illegal and barbaric has to end. It is Murder. Dogs and Cats were not put on this earth to be tortured and abused. Those that are involved in the brutal murder of defenceless animals should be prosecuted and imprisoned for there act of cruelty to animals. What are you teaching your children and future generations that this unnecceary killing of innocent animals is acceptable. It is not. Dogs and Cats are loved throughout the World they bring pleasure to people. They are treated with kindness and Respect there lives matter too. Shut down these illegal farms Now.
Help
Doesn’t get worse then this! Nothing!
I hope the bastards responsible for this cruelty get their comeuppance in this life or the next.
Very sick people they are.
CRUEL & DISGUSTING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!THESE PRIMITIVES LOW LIFE ANIMALS ABUSERS WILL ROTTEN IN HELL!!!!!!!!KARMA IS A BITCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is an act of TOTAL EVIL, the acceptance by society is Cruel and Evil act, Karma will punish in so many ways, GOD is watching those who are cruel
I would not put my household rubbish in these filthy cages. The FOOD looks like vomit or diarrhoea. The poor things can’t go through anymore terror or fear. It must absolutely stink. Diseases and illnesses must be rife. Anyone that owns or works in these hell holes deserve everything bad in their lives.

Vamos ajudar os animais.
May the people that do this to animals and those that turn away and do nothing to stop this barbarism, receive this much horror in their own lives as punishment. No animal should go through the horror these animals suffer. These are sick, demented people.
You are monsters & murders for doing this! Those dogs have souls!! Release them ASAP!!!
S.Korea is truly a disgusting 3rd world country.
Je déteste ces monstres , mais je voudrais tellement que ces monstres soient touchés par la grâce et cessent ces atrocités
Mais soyons clair ceux qui font de tel actes méritent un châtiment !!
South Korea is the country that makes me feel ashamed of being a human being.
please help and save these dogs and cats !!! help them, be human and stop this cruel torture and killing !!!! help please !!!!!
PEOPLE WHO DO THIS ACT OF CRUELTY TO DOGS ARE SUB-HUMAN, NO QUESTION
Please STOP this evil cruelty poor helpless animals they are pets not food.
Too bad all these spawns of the devil I WILL NOT EVEN CALL THEM HUMAN even the govern officials who people have to beg, write letters to plead shame on every one of you if you want to DO SOMETHING GOOD in your life SHUT THE DAMN ILLEGAL DOG MEAT DOWN NOW AND KEEP THEM DOWN everyone of them
Let’s keep the pressure! Please, file a petition with the South Korean government through e-People online.
DOGS ARE NATURALLY LOVING, GENTLE, KIND, INNOCENT CREATURES. THEY HAVE FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS AND SUFFER GREATLY WHEN MISTREATED BY HUMANS. ALL FORMS OF CRUELTY TO ANIMALS MUST BE STOPPED, AND ALL THE PERPETRATORS MUST BE BROUGHT TO FULL JUSTICE! ALL ANIMALS WERE PLACED HERE ON EARTH BY A WISE AND LOVING CREATOR TO BE COMPANIONS FOR HUMANS AND TO GIVE AND RECEIVE LOVE FROM THEM. THEY ARE TO BE CARED FOR AND PROTECTED. — THE HIDEOUS, MALICIOUS, INHUMAN, STUPID, DESPICABLE, SENSELESS, CRUEL, HEARTLESS, INSANE, VILE, SAVAGE, SADISTIC, MANIAC MORONS WHO INTENTIONALLY MISTREAT, BEAT, TORTURE, INJURE, AND/OR SLAUGHTER INNOCENT HELPLESS DOGS ARE DESERVING OF THE HARSHEST AND SEVEREST PUNISHMENT FOR THEIR WICKED CRIMES. THEIR ACTS TOWARD INNOCENT POOR DOGS ARE TOTALLY HORRIFIC, BRUTAL, CALLOUS, REVOLTING, BARBARIC, AND EVIL! THE EATING OF DOGS IS EXTREMELY DECADENT, SAVAGE, BESTIAL, INHUMAN, AND CRUDE. THESE PEOPLE’S CHARACTERS IN PERFORMING SUCH CRUEL EVIL ACTS IS EVIDENCE OF THE DEMONIC MONSTERS THEY ARE. — ANYONE WHO IS EVER GUILTY OF DOING SUCH ATROCITIES MUST BE FOUND AND CAUGHT, AND SEVERE PUNISHMENT MUST BE SERVED UPON HIM/HER/THEM IN RETRIBUTION FOR WHAT THESE POOR DOGS HAVE SUFFERED, AND ALSO TO INSURE THAT NOT ONLY THEIRS, BUT POTENTIONALLY ANY OTHERS HEINOUS CRUEL ACTS TOWARD INNOCENT ANIMALS BE PERMANENTLY ENDED! SUCH PEOPLE’S VIOLENT AND SADISTIC NATURES CLEARLY SHOW THAT THEY ARE A DETRIMENT AND A POTENTIAL DANGER TO CIVILIZED SOCIETY! THEIR PUNISHMENT MUST BE WIDELY PUBLICIZED AS A DETERRENT TO ANY OTHERS WHO MIGHT BE CONSIDERING DOING THE SAME. STRICT LAWS MUST BE IMPLEMENTED AND ENFORCED TO INSURE THAT SUCH ATROCITIES WILL NEVER OCCUR AGAIN! — A WELL-ORGANIZED EFFORT MUST BE EMPLOYED TO INSURE THAT ANY DOGS THAT SUCCUMB TO THIS FATE ARE, IF POSSIBLE, RESCUED, LOVINGLY AND TENDERLY TREATED FOR ANY INJURIES THEY MAY HAVE INCURRED, AND KEPT IN A LOVING ENVIRONMENT WHERE THEY WILL BE PROPERLY CARED FOR.
First off…Thanks so much for all you are doing Korean dog team to help these poor dogs! I have been signing and donating to your cause for years! Please never give up this fight!
I am trying to send out the emails here but I get a message back saying that it cant be sent because it resembles spam due to the links. It suggests that I shorten it or remove the links. Do you have any suggestions on how I can get these emails to go through? Thanks:)
Dear Sandra,
Thank you so much for caring and taking action.
Please refer to below FAQ for answer to your question regarding bouncing emails:
I have sent emails to addresses given on your web-pages, but many of them ‘bounce’ or have some other message saying they cannot be delivered. Why is this?
There could be several reasons why your emails are returned or not delivered. Your returned email will indicate the reason for the returned email such as “Message blocked”, “The receiver denied your mail.” One suggestion that we would like to make is that you separate your personal email with the petition mailing email account. You can also set up multiple email accounts on gmail for petition email sending.
In addition, the sources from where we have collected these email addresses could be out of date, or incorrect; or may have changed since we collected this information and listed it on our website. We do try our best to keep up-to-date information, but, as you can appreciate, it is not always possible to reflect these changes.
The e-People petition is the most effective of all the actions you can take so please try doing that today. This will never bounce back and you will ALWAYS get a response from the Korean government. http://www.e-People.go.kr
We also urge everyone to pass on your message by sending postal letters, and making telephone calls. Telephoning is particularly effective as the message cannot be so easily ‘ignored’.

Thank you, Sandra!
Yes!! I sooo agree!!! Apparently this is very important to do these epetitions as well as the emailing and I do it all the time!!! A little everyday or every other day. It may take a bit longer than other petitions but these poor dogs lives are worth 30 minutes of my time! So I am with you on this one…lets keep the pressure on until the disgraceful practice is no more!!!
stop the dogmeat they are living souls they have feelings and pain
For this dog and cat torture to go on in South Korea proves that the citizens are less than human. No respect for South Korea. Disgrace for South Korea. I will not support your country in any way and I don’t want the American government to support you. If you behave as barbarians you are barbarians.
Korea is disgraceful!!! this cruel and horrible!!!!! stop this treatment of dogs and cats.
Stop immediately the killing of cats and dogs !!!!!It is such a shame for your nation!!!All these actions will come back to the ones for sure, who executed them- fyi!
