📌 Please note: The South Korean government continues to deceive us with lies and excuses. Click HERE to learn more.

In response to our petitions filed through the e-People petition site (South Korea’s official government petition site), we received various responses from the local Korean government.

Most of these responses are excuses about why they cannot do anything to stop the dog meat industry without social consensus. Some will say they are not obligated to respond to our petitions because we are foreigners in foreign countries. This is a misinterpretation of the law. Some will say they are doing their best to promote animal welfare, spending money on animal shelters, etc., while they still allow dogs in dog farms to be horrifically abused and brutally killed. Very few of them would actually take action to enforce the laws we had already clearly cited in our petition.

However, we received the below response from Buan, Jeollabuk-do province, and this is a first. This illustrates how entrenched the dog meat industry is in Korean society, where even the government has to fear retaliation from criminals operating illegal dog farms.

“The response to your complaint is as follows.
We notified the dog farms of your complaint on the e-People petition site and tried to discuss the scheduling of site visits and make plans for investigation with the dog farmers. However, the dog farmers are vehemently protesting. They oppose our site visits, claiming that most of the dogs are pregnant and giving birth, and threatening that they will pursue liability for damages for causing miscarriage and the spread of infectious diseases to their dogs if we enter their premise despite their opposition. Please be aware that it is difficult to investigate under the current circumstances.”

This is why changing the mindset of South Korea and stopping its horrible and illegal industry is very difficult. It will take a lot more effort and dedication by people worldwide to speak out, take action, and support the local animal activists fighting on the ground against this enormous challenge.

South Korea’s horrific dog meat industry. Cruelty during transport.

    Paskiaiset hirviöt. Loppu lemmikkieläinten kituuttamineen, murhaaminen ja syönti. Jos tapat koiraan kauhealla tavalla ei se lisää miehekkyyttä eikä tule sinusta tule parempaa ihmistä. Jos olet paska nii olet murhaan jälkeen vielä isompi paska itiootti sarjamurhaaia. Niin että demonit Karma on tulossa. putsaas kunnolla, olisi hyvä. Nyt kuoli syyttömiä ihmisiä paljoon turhaan teitään vinosilmieen takia.
