Sister City Campaign – Seongnam, South Korea – Aurora, Colorado
Campaign updated on July 12, 2022.
Aurora: Tell your Sister City, Seongnam, South Korea, that you are opposed to the torture and consumption of dogs and cats.
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.
Seongnam became a Sister City to Aurora, Colorado, in 1992.
Moran Market in Seongnam is the largest dog meat market in South Korea. In Seongnam, 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 Seongnam’s dog meat demand.
Two searches on Naver (the most popular search engine in Korea) – 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” – resulted in hundreds of Health Centers and dog meat restaurants in Seongnam.
Even if half of these ‘Health’ Food Centers and restaurants serve dog and cat ‘ingredients’ in one form or another, imagine how many dog/cat slaughterhouses must be present in the vicinity of Seongnam to supply these outlets.
There are laws in South Korea against selling dogs and cats for consumption, yet these laws are blatantly ignored.

Aurora: Tell your Sister City, Seongnam, South Korea, that you oppose the torture and consumption of dogs and cats.
Dear Mayor Mike Coffman and Aurora City Council members:
We sincerely invite you to watch a video from a rally held at the Moran Dog Meat Market in your Sister City, Seongnam, on July 11th to protest against the horrific and barbaric dog and cat meat industry. https://youtu.be/U6MSU8d9hHw
Animal advocates in South Korea are desperately pleading for your help shutting down Seongnam’s massive dog meat industry. Would you please lend your voice and help to put a stop to this cruel and illegal industry?
We ask you to please watch the undercover videos from South Korea’s dog meat industry:
Part 1 of 2: https://youtu.be/_ZVQjgGb4RQ
Part 2 of 2: https://vimeo.com/754160791
Moran Market in Seongnam is the largest dog meat market in South Korea. Please watch what happens in Seongnam Moran Dog Meat Market every day: https://koreandogs.org/jtbc-news-electric-tortured-in-cages/
Do you think Aurora should be a Sister City to any city that allows dogs and cats to be tortured and eaten by people?
Seongnam is the largest dog meat supplier city in South Korea. There are numerous dog meat markets, shops, farms, dog slaughterhouses, dozens of dog meat restaurants, and so-called “Health Centers” serving soup made of dog meat as an elixir. Dogs suffer their entire lives in utter misery in filthy, feces-encrusted raised wire cages, only to be slaughtered in the most horrific ways. They are killed by electrocution, hammer strikes to their head and necks, being hung, beaten to death, having their throats slit, being burned alive with a blowtorch, or thrown into a vat of boiling water while still alive. In many places in Seongnam, dogs are killed in full view of other terrified, caged dogs who tremble with terror. These poor dogs are often burned alive in their cages, unable to escape. They are fed rotten garbage full of chili peppers not fit for any animals to eat, and they are never given water! Also, people’s beloved pets are often stolen and sold to these businesses, where they meet the same horrific fate. Dogs and puppies who died of diseases are tossed away like garbage, often left in front of cages to rot while the mother dogs watch and cry out in despair for their dead babies.
The Korean internet searches resulted in dozens of Health Centers which commonly sell dog/cat elixirs (also known as dog soju and cat soju) and dog meat restaurants in Seongnam.
Would you please urge Seongnam Mayor Shin Sang-jin to close down all illegal dog farms, slaughterhouses, markets, truckers, and restaurants serving their products? An online petition calling for your support in ending Seongnam’s horrendous dog and cat meat cruelty is in progress: https://chng.it/HwJvhCMF.
On behalf of all the animals suffering unimaginable cruelty in the dog and cat meat industry, we thank you and await your reply.
Sincerely,
Name, City, Country
Hello, I’m calling to speak to someone in the Mayor’s Office to ask for their help on an important issue regarding your Sister City, Seongnam in South Korea.
If I could explain: Dog-meat consumption is currently being practiced in that city, even though it is illegal under South Korean Law – but the laws are not enforced. The dog and cat meat trades involve extreme and widespread animal cruelty, and the animals suffer unimaginable pain and distress. They cannot speak for themselves, which is why I am calling on their behalf. And, I believe that your city would wish to be made aware of this issue, as you would not want to affiliate with a city where illegal and immoral torture is being carried out on any animal, and particularly not on ones that are loyal, trusting creatures, which look up to us humans as their guardians.
This illegal industry is being allowed to continue by Seongnam authorities – even though there is growing opposition from pet guardians across South Korea and worldwide.
So, I am asking you to please speak with your counterparts in Seongnam to urge them to enforce their laws, not ignore them, show compassion to their companion animals, and respect their citizens by bringing this cruel industry to an end.
I know that South Korea has many beautiful, admirable, and noble practices and customs worth preserving, but this is not one of them.
Thank you for your time and understanding.
No matter where you live, PLEASE SHARE these actions with your friends, especially those who live in Aurora! 🙏
Share this:
Stop!
I live in Texas, but I wrote a letter to the Mayor.
Good luck and God Bless !
Peace, Juli

To: Mayor Steve Hogan,
Please end the Brutal inhumane dog meat trade in your sister state of Seongnam, South Korea.
We are calling on you and your council staff here to please act humanely and compassionately to convince the Mayor of your sister state in South Korea to come into the 21st century and accept Dogs as human companions who are with us to enhance and assist humans in their daily lives and not food. It is disturbing and confronting to see the barbaric suffering dogs have to endure to be eaten by the South Koreans! As civilised modern society and human beings we cannot tolerate this shocking cruelty to dogs when we all adore and need our own dogs to assist us in our lives.
We are expressing our deep disappointment that your state of AURORA has not reacted to this truly abhorrent practice and acted to convince the mayor that we cannot accept this heinous cruelty as a sister state. South Koreans will look to your reaction as a guidance on this issue and any act of being complacent would signal to them that you and the USA approves of this horrific practice of animal cruelty. You are in a position to change this abhorrence as you work with this sister city in an attempt to complement each others progress. As long as Seongnam continues with this despicable practice of eating dogs, Aurora cannot truly be a sister state because the values, development, attitudes, societal standards, civility would be incompatible making both states dissimilar in the foundation of a civilised society! If Aurora continues to be the sister state of Seongnam whilst this horrendous cruelty to dogs in this brutal dogs eating culture continues then the values of Aurora would be compromised reducing this state to a backward state of no compassion, no integrity and lack of the basic traits which makes us civilised compassionate humans.
Therefore we are appealing for you to act in the interest of human decency and compassion for dogs in Seongnam and ask the mayor Mr Jae- Myung Lee to pass and enforce tough Legislations to make any form of dog and cat eating and all forms of animal cruelty to be “illegal” with severe punishment for all those who continue with this gruesome confronting cruelty to dogs and cats. This issue demands legislative recognition immediately and we trust that as a mayor in the USA, you would not have any reservations in bringing this issue to the authorities there. The respect of the USA by South Korea should be high to attract the attention of the South Korean authorities stimulating them to examine this dark age truly barbaric practices to retain the international respect of their country.
Thank you for your time and attention.
Kind Regards
Anne Grice (MBA)

This is too terrible, so much misery and cruelty to living feeling beings. This barbarity has to stop. Such horrendous cruelty ruins any possible respect for Sourh Korea, which turns a blind eye to so much suffering.
Have signed the petition and sent emails. It is sickening the way in which these poor souls are slaughtered. I wish I could save them all. If a nation has to eat any animal then their welfare needs should be taken care of in life and in death. Humane methods must be paramount.
Please please stop this cruel uncivilized barbaric act. It is totally wrong to take the life of any being.
Sir, please help to end this shocking and brutal practice. These poor cats and dogs feel pain and suffering as we do, please help them. It has gone on for too long and people so hope and pray that it will be stopped. To see these poor animals treated in such a brutal, cruel and inhumane way is sickening and I am sure you do not wish to associate yourself with this shocking trade, being a sister state looks as though you are supporting such a vile trade so please act in some way to help these cats and dogs, they have no voice so we must speak for them and help them to be saved from such wicked suffering. I thank you for reading my letter and do ask you to help please…..Thank you.
please, this need to stop!!!!
STOP DOG-CAT AND ALL ANIMAL CRUEL SLAUTHER.
End this now such a cruel act THIS NEEDS TO STOP PLEASE!!!
NON E’ ACCETTABILE CHE NEL 2015 ESISTANO ANCORA TALI BARBARIE IN UN MONDO CHE SI DEFINISCE CIVILE E UMANO……………QUELLO CHE SUCCEDE E’ DISUMANO E SINTOMO DI PROFONDA IGNORANZA E INCIVILTA’ TOTALE………………………ROSSANA E LUCY
Dear Mayor
This cruel and barbaric action to animals has to stop. Does your culture allow for such little value to life? Why is such cruelty acceptable to your culture? Is life so cheap? For a once superior culture you now show yourselves so uneducated.
Please stop this atrocity NOW
Sian Jenner MA
I could not watch any of the video’s because my heart could not take the pain and suffering of these poor innocent animals. My spirit cries out for them. And the sad thing is that we support this evil and barbaric country. We fought for the freedom of these evil people and this is how they show love for a life? They all need to be napalmed as far as I’m concerned. They fought for theirs and if I am not mistaken they are STILL under the same fear of oppression from North Korea. Guess you have to wonder why? You reap what you sow, and each dog that they have tortured and abused, each life they joyfully took for the avaricious greed of man is a seed that they have sown against their own lives. Seeds produce a harvest, so you can believe that they are going to have some REALLY UGLY harvests!!!
I am very disturbed by this and am writing letters now
YOU ARE MONSTERS! Where is your humanity and compassion for living things? God will surely judge you for your savage cruelty to these animals. You take your hate and meanness out on these wonderful animals. Burn in hell…Shame, shame on you!
I wrote a letter to the Mayor of Aurora and emailed all the others. Has anyone recieved a reply yet?
Peace, Juli

Stop animal abuse
Tiere fühlen ebenso schmerzen und leid. Man muss sie respektvoll behandeln
As a Dog owner of many years I see the Dog Meat Trade as totally out of step with what we in the West consider Humane.
These animals are sensitive to everything that is going on around them or happening to them directly and they are among the only animal that is able to read facial expression of humans, therefore actually knowing what is intended.
I know from personal experience that all Dogs have an inner sense which is why they have been adopted by humans for so many years as companions.
It is also a direct reflection on the integrity of a society on how they treat their animals, the stance of your Governing Body is under a huge cloud of suspicion all the while you do nothing to put a stop to this barbaric trade in animal cruelty.
It is very easy to close ones eyes and pretend that this is not happening, it will obviously cause many who accept the insidious trade as normal to object most strongly and cause them to be loathed to accept a better and a more humane way of accepting the companionship of these animals.
Finally in my opinion there is nothing normal in killing and eating what is know in the West as Man’s Best Friend.
It is with that thought in mind I call upon you to step up and show the rest of the world that Korea has joined the Twenty First Century and put an end to what can only be viewed as a blight on Korean Society.
WE HAVE BEGUN TO “BOYCOTT COMPANIES IN SOUTH KOREA” JOIN US UNTIL THE GOVERNMENT STOPS THIS ASSAULT ON THE POLE
OF UNITED STATES BEST FRIEND. FOR WE SPEND BILLION EVERY YEAR IN CARE OF OUR BEST FRIENDS ( OUR PETS ).

I agree with the boycott, hit em where it hurts ,thier pockets! Boycott all products from Korea! Weather your on 2feet or 4paws ,we are all creatures of one God,so let’s treat the animals as we like to be treated ,equal and in kind! Speak up for those that can’t ! Shame on Korea ! We as humans are here as guardians to the land ,To the animals and to the sea! So stand up and guard them ! Our pets are our family,do what’s right ,WWJD!
Por favor dejen de torturar y maltratar a perros y gatos para que finalmente sean ingeridos…ellos sienten y padecen un sufrimiento hasta el final de sus vidas espantoso!!!! pienso que no lo merecen al igual que cualquier otro ser vivo deben ser respetados.NOS ESTÁN MATANDO AL IGUAL QUE A ELLOS!!!! JUSTICIA!!!
Please stop this practice. It is completely insane! Go Vegan and live in peace with the world, the animals and the nature.
I am deeply saddened to see humans treating such vulnerable creatures with such abuse. I pray and hope every night that these poor animals will have justice and equality one day. Nothing deserves such a horrendous existence and death. These people need to be held accountable for their actions. An eye for an eye.
Let’s be like the ocean … wave after wave …. we’ll keep at it until ALL the dogs and cats are set free and these horrific, immoral, brutal, criminal, cruel and unconscionable meat markets are SHUT DOWN FOREVER! It will happen …. because we’re like the ocean … wave after wave … we just keep coming ….
i’m sorry, but i see this shit go on in asian countries and i ‘m thinking that these people are wired wrong! i just don’t understand their cruel behavior! how can you be a friend to these people?
I HAVE HOPES that the murderers of dogs, will be punished
BOYCOTTONS CE PAYS DE BARBARES !!
Please stop it – please!!!!!
THIS TORTURE AND HORROR FOR THESE DEFENSELESS, INNOCENT TRUSTING LOVING DOGS AND CATS MUST END. THERE IS NO RATIONALIZING OR JUSTIFYING THIS DOG AND CAT MEAT TRADE. ITS PURE EVIL. SHAME ON YOU HAVE YOU NO COMPASSION.
More and more, albeit slowly, the world is learning of these brutal atrocities and strongly urging S. Korea to close these monstrous farms. For additional information, please read the following recent article, dated March 21, 2015, in The Wall Street Journal (Asia), “Dog Farmers in South Korea Offered a Way Out As Canine Cuisine Fades.” TOGETHER WE CAN ABOLISH THE DRACONIAN, IRRATIONAL, VIOLENT, MERCILESS, TORTUROUS DOG&CAT MEAT FARMS.
LIVES ARE DEPENDING ON US.
PLEASE God do something.
STOP dierenleed !!!!!
Stop the Dog and Cat Consumption in S. Korea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1STOPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPPP
Torture, is torture, is torture! In order to evolve as a species, humans need to know empathy. For all.
Sending emails to these people. This confronting excruciating torture of dogs and cat cannot be tolerated, where is the humanity in this nation? South Korea cannot allow this is barbarism to dogs and cats to continue for food if it expects respect from the international community. We have to boycott their vehicles to get their attention and understand that we are dead serious about stopping this abhorrence which not even the savages in the dark ages did!
stop it
If we do not do anything about this evil, we are part of this cruelty. Stand together and we WILL WIN!!!!!
this is my email: Dear Mayor Steve Hogan and Members of the Aurora City Council:
Please watch the undercover video from the Moran Market in Seongnam, South Korea: http://youtu.be/UKSGgsjnJlY
One of the things that has made America such a role model in the world is our compassion toward those who are vulnerable and defenseless. We need to continue to be the voice that says cruelty of any kind is not acceptable. It is said that you are judged by those you are associated with, and to think that the city of Aurora is a sister city to a brutal and barbaric society, means that Aurora has forgetton it’s responsiblity as a civilized city of compassion that stands up for justice. Instead as sister city you are supporting the purposeful suffering of millions of animals. Daily they are skinned, torched, boilded and cut up while still alive. These animals suffer greatly and then end up on someone’s dinner plate. I ask that you open your eyes to the truth. Choosing to be associated with such an inhumane act of cruelty is irresponsible. It is shameful when we don’t protect those who can’t protect themselves. Moran dog meat market is the worse torture chamber there is and this evil must be closed down. the dog meat trade is already illegal and if you continue supporting this kind of criminal activity, you are involved with criminals.
Please urge the Seongnam Mayor Jae-Myung Lee and Gyeonggi-do Governor Kyung-Pil Nam to close down Moran Dog Meat Market and all other illegal dog farms and slaughterhouses, markets, truckers and restaurants who serve their products. An online petition calling for your support in ending the horrendous South Korean dog and meat trade can be found at: https://www.change.org/p/steven-hogan-stop-the-brutal-dog-and-cat-meat-trade-in-south-korea
I submit this emial with the assumption that you too are compassionate toward animals and are willing to do what you can to stop this brutality.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Thank you, Marni!!!
Stopper immédiatement cette horreur ! Boycott total des produits coréens !!!
Horrific and shameful for a society to allow this brutality and hate against animals — it’s insane, merciless, shameful, immoral — you have many options available to you and STILL you savagely, torturously kill dogs and cats — where’s the clear thinking? where’s the compassion?
Stop this cruelty Pleas ????
The suffering of these animals is horrific and beyond the pale. It’s cruel, immoral, unconscionable, irrational, hateful and merciless AND NEEDLESS. WE MUST NOT ALLOW THIS! — More & more, albeit slowly, the world is learning of these brutal atrocities & strongly urging S. Korea to close these monstrous farms. === TOGETHER WE CAN ABOLISH THE DRACONIAN, IRRATIONAL, VIOLENT, MERCILESS, TORTUROUS DOG&CAT MEAT FARMS. === LIVES ARE DEPENDING ON US.
stop Killing dogs and cats!!!!This animals not food
Put some poison souce on their platter!
This is truly the most evil of most evils. These people have no morals and care nothing for what God put on this earth. But one day, and I hope very soon they will pay for all of these evil acts and will endure pain and suffering forever. There are no words for what these people are.
This horrible practice needs to stop – what is wrong with these people – torture these animals – I hope every ounce of pain they inflict on these poor animals – they will get back 10 fold – KARMA
Korean people don’t care about animals, neighter China, Vietnam and many oriental countries ! There governments don’t care about our demands, stoping this brutal, barbaric and disgusting killing !

Blasted country is full of the living dead, as it says in Revelations; my Guru, Sathya Sai Baba calls them living corpses. A Tibetan Buddhist Lama/Priest calls them “demons”; in short, blasted zombies! Even Neanderthals didin’t behave like this. Totally sick, depraved, demented, deranged individuals! Horrific. The UN must do something about this. Poor babies – it’s so wrong that animals are largely ignored in this mad world.
The UN is run by a korean Dog eater too, so what you anticipate him to do?.
We need to free the dogd,and bomb,and burn this place to the ground,inc. anyone of them devils!. ask the Russian cossacks for help,they’re erxtremely effective,in facts russia could take S.Korea over in minuites,if not seconds.
