The dog farm specified above is suspected to be an unregistered facility and has been contributing to the pollution of the environment and thus requires urgent administrative measures and immediate shutdown.
1. Under the current enforcement decree of the Act on the Management and Use of Livestock Excreta, any dog farm at least 60 square meters in size is subject to registration as a waste emission facility. Any illegal dog farms operating without proper registration must be ordered to suspend operation and close per Articles 17 and 18 of the Act. Administrative actions such as the imposition of fines must be issued according to Article 50 and the enforcement decree Article 20 of the same law.
2. Illegal dog slaughter may violate Article 8 of the Animal Protection Act. If a dog farm has committed an illegal dog slaughter, they will be sentenced to less than two years in prison and fined up to 20 million won. Please inspect the dog farm site to check if illegal dog slaughter is committed and report it to the police.
3. According to Articles 25 and 46 of the Waste Control Act, food waste feed recycling requires that dog farms are equipped with appropriate facilities and must be registered and authorized by the municipal government. Please inspect the dog farm to check if the food waste is being fed to dogs and take appropriate administrative actions per Article 66 for violations.
4. In the case of temporary buildings: Dog farms must obtain approval according to the Building Act Article 14 (Building Reports) and Article 20 (Temporary Buildings). Please remove the building if the building is unauthorized.
5. If sewage contamination is found: Personal sewage treatment facilities must be reported per Article 34, Paragraph 2 of the Sewerage Act. After inspecting the discharge of manure and wastewater into the public water, please take administrative measures per Article 77 of the Sewerage Act.
6. If household waste is found: Unlawful dumping and loading of household waste violate Article 13 of the Waste Control Act. After investigating the accumulation of household waste in the vicinity, please take measures per Article 66-1 of the Waste Control Act.
7. The raised wire cages are torture devices that inflict great physical pain on the animals forced to exist in them.
– Please issue an order to remove the raised wire cages in violation of breeding management practices per Article 7 of the Animal Protection Act.
– Please charge the dog farm for animal cruelty and order a correction according to Article 8 of the Animal Protection Act.
8. The dogs are exposed to the frigid cold, unable to move while trapped in an outdoor raised wire cage. This clearly constitutes animal cruelty.
– Please issue a corrective order and prosecute the dog farm.
-Article 4 of the Enforcement Rules of the Animal Protection Act: “(6) 2. Any act that inflicts bodily pain or injury upon an animal by keeping an animal in severe heat or cold without justifiable reasons such as the animal’s natural habits or required rearing environment.”
9. Please reply with the number and breed of dogs in the dog farms.
10. If the lot is designated as a “Farm field or Rice paddy,” breeding facilities on farmland must comply with Article 35 Paragraph 1 item 1 of the Farmland Act for livestock and industrial use facilities. A person who intends to install and use such a livestock breeding facility must,
1) Report and obtain permission for farmland conversion per Article 35 of the Farmland Act
2) Follow procedures such as temporary permission for use per Article 36 of the Farmland Act.
Therefore, please investigate whether the person who changed the farmland followed the procedures per the Farmland Act. In case of non-compliance, take administrative measures such as issuing an order to restore to the original state per Article 42 of the Farmland Act and impose a fine for “compensation for compulsory performance” per Article 63 of the Farmland Act.
11. Please reply with the type of food being fed to the dogs. If food and water are not being given, issue a corrective order per Animal Protection Act, Article 7, paragraph 1.
Our worldwide campaign urging your city to shut down all illegal dog farms and slaughterhouses is in progress. https://koreandogs.org/cheongsong-dog-farms/
We urge you to take quick and strong administrative measures to address the violation of laws and shut down all these illegal dog farms immediately!

Bitte beenden Sie diese Qual für diese armen Hunde
Es ist unfassbar, dass es im 21.Jahrhundert, in asiatischen Ländern angeblich noch noch viel Tierleid gibt und viele Menschen grausam, brutal und verantwortungslos mit hilflosen Mitgeschöpfen umgehen. Wir leben nicht mehr im Mittelalter und die alten Aberglauben mit deren Riten müssen endlich von allen Regierungen gesetzlich verboten werden. Vor den Menschen eines solchen Landes muss man regelrecht Angst haben, denn wer gegenüber hilflosen Tieren grausam und brutal ist, verhält sich auch Menschen gegenüber genau so und das ist inakzeptabel in einer aufgeklärten und zivilisierten Gesellschaft!
Stop this cruelty now.
fucking baster one day you are going to die the sameway
sos
Popoli di una crudeltà inaudita. Chi non ama e rispetta i nostri meravigliosi animali in ogni parte del mondo, vuol dire che è un mostro anzi un gigantesco mostro verso tutta l’umanità. Popolazioni mostruosamente atroci e crudeli.
Barbarians… do you eat your own children as well wouldn’t surprise me…. SOUL LESS foul disgusting people KARMA! to you all!
DO NOT PURCHASE ANY PRODUCTS MADE IN THIS BARBARIC, SUBHUMAN COUNTRY!
save them !!! help them !!! stop suffering !!!! help please !! please !!!!
This horror must finally be stopped and the dog farms must be closed down immediately. We boycott all products (KIA, Samsung etc.) as long as this horror exists. There are civilised countries. I hope that many other people boycott South Korea too! I’m sorry, I know there are also many good people in South Korea who work for animal welfare, but the international coverage of the brutal dog and cat meat trade has tarnished the image of South Korea. It is time to end this tragedy. Now.
save these dogs and stop torture and killing !! help !!!
