    Our complaints not answered satisfactorily at all. No mention of the terrible conditions in which these poor tortured animals live and die.

    This is so disgraceful?! The rest of the world knows that this practise is abhorrent & unnecessary? But they just don’t want to know??

    We are asking you to shut down all dog farms as dogs are raised in terrible conditions and die in cruel ways. Dogs are domestic animals, they should live as companions in families, not raised to be eaten. It is a shame that your country cannot or will not put an end to the dog and cat trade which is completely unaccepable

    So part of the response is “I know that slaughtering on the farm is a violation of the Animal Protection Act, so they are not slaughtering illegally.” but their action is “We will do our best to ensure that animal protection continues through periodic farm inspections.”??? These farms need to be shut down immediately…how does “periodic inspection” stop an operation they know to be illegal?

    You continue to ignore the pain you are causing and evil due to your treatment of these dogs who are our helpers and rescuers of people AND USED TO HELP THE BLIND. Dogs over centuries have been best companions as friends with high intelligence hence supply protection and truly worthwhile as guiding humans. You are keeping these dogs inside disgusting conditions with terrible suffering and torture throughout their lives. Shame on you all!

    I go to a lot of trouble to avoid buying things manufactured or constructed in South Korea. It’s very difficult because so many electronics come from there. It can be done and it’s worth it to refuse to reward this savage nation. I hope they lose all prosperity and suffer as North Korea does, South Korea just as viscious but they hide behind a shiny facade.

    POLITICIANS REALLY DO NOT CARE ABOUT ANYTHING EXCEPT GETTING THEIR PAYCHECK AT THE END OF THE MONTH. WE CANNOT VOTE FOR THEM SO THEY WILL DO NOTHING.

    Am I right in thinking that they are admitting that there are 28 ‘meat dog farms’ – surely this is illegal in itself?? It seems they are just brushing us off as usual, just wanting to turn a blind eye. I also tend to avoid anything produced from South Korea as I cannot help but connect it to the suffering of dogs and cats and not doubt other animals too. I know that many other countries are also guilty of this, but if South Korea wants to be thought of as a forward thinking nation, it would surely take steps to stop this terrible treatment of animals.
