Chilgok, South Korea, Shut down illegal dog meat farms, slaughterhouses, markets, and restaurants.

Campaign updated on 2/7/2023.

If you want to help fight the grisly South Korean dog and cat meat trade and make a difference in South Korea, here are a few quick actions you can take that could save millions of dogs and cats each year.

In Chilgok, there are countless dog farms, slaughterhouses, markets, and restaurants where the dogs, who have been tortured their entire lives, end up being slaughtered in the most inhumane ways, such as by electrocution, hanging, or beating, and then thrown into boiling water – sometimes while they are still alive. In many places, dogs are being killed in full view of other terrified, caged dogs; and this takes place in broad daylight. In addition, many abandoned and stolen former pets end up in this industry and are subject to the same cruelty.

A Search Engine reveals the sickening scale of Chilgok’s dog meat demand.

Shown below are two search results on Naver (the most popular search engine in Korea) – the first one was for so-called “Health Centers,” which commonly sell dog elixirs and cat elixirs (also known as dog soju and cat soju), and the second one was for “dog meat restaurants.”

The searches resulted in dozens of Health Centers and dog meat restaurants in the vicinity of Chilgok.

Even if half of these ‘Health’ Centers and restaurants serve dog and cat ‘ingredients’ in one form or another, imagine how many dog/cat slaughterhouses must be in the vicinity of Chilgok to supply these outlets.

There are laws in South Korea against selling dogs and cats for consumption, yet these laws are blatantly ignored.

    For thousands of years man has bred dogs to be man’s loyal companion. What kind of barbaric ignorant people would do this to them? I or my family will not purchase anything made in South Korea or China as in Kia, Hyundai, LG, Samsung and others as long as dogs are treated in this way. If it’s made in an evil backward dog eating country don’t buy it. There are plenty of other more civilized nations.

    Alle “Menschen”, die mit der Herstellung des Fleisches von Hunden u. Katzen zu tun haben, sind keine Menschen, sondern Bestien in Menschengestalt!° Ihnen fehlen Eigenschaft wie, Mitgefühl, Verantwortungsgefühl, Moral/Ethik .Hunde/Katzen sind fühlende Mitlebewesen, wie wir Menschen Stress, Grausamkeit, Brutalität , Liebe und Fürsorge genauso empfinden. Menschen auf der ganzen Welt bemängeln seit vielen Jahren, dass die südkoreanische Regierung weder gewillt, noch in der Lage zu sein scheint, endlich diese grausamen und verantwortungslosen Folterstätten, also alle Hunde/Katzen Höllen in diesem Land endlich zu schließen. Wir leben nicht mehr im Mittelalter, sondern im 21.Jahrhundert und um so verantwortungsloser erscheint die Regierung des Landes, dass solche Überlieferungen aus vergangenen Jahrhunderten immer noch gelebt werden dürfen. Dadurch hat Südkorea ein sehr negatives Image in der ganzen Welt und es ist längst überfällig, diesen großen schwarzen Fleck zu entfernen und sich nicht nur technisch, sondern auch im Tierschutz endlich fortschrittlich zu zeigen.

    Your children are in Canada today to play hockey because you have very few hockey rinks in S Korea. How nice we Canadians are to welcome you and your kids. Until you stop this horrendous torturing and eating dog/cat meat bull$hit, I, as a Canadian will not welcome you. S Korea is a farce. You are not a civilized nation as you claim.
