Friendship City Campaign – Ganghwa-gun, South Korea – Palisades Park, New Jersey
Borough of Palisades Park (Bergen County) Mayor Christopher Chung: Tell your Friendship City, Incheon Ganghwa-gun County, 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.
Incheon Ganghwa-gun County became a Friendship City with Borough of Palisades Park, Bergen County, New Jersey, in 2020.
In Ganghwa-gun, there are numerous dog farms, slaughterhouses, markets, and restaurants where the dogs, who are 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. 👉 Click HERE for a partial list of dog farms and dog slaughterhouses operating in Ganghwa-gun.

You will see the dog farm of indescribable horror.

A Search Engine reveals the sickening scale of Ganghwa-gun’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 dozens of Health Centers and dog meat restaurants in Incheon Ganghwa-gun.
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 Incheon Ganghwa-gun to supply these outlets.
There are laws in South Korea against selling dogs and cats for consumption, yet these laws are blatantly ignored.
👉😢 Incheon Ganghwa-gun Government must rescue all 500 dogs from hellscape illegal dog farm!

Dear Mayor Christopher Chung and Palisades Park Council members:
We ask you to please watch the videos from South Korea’s dog meat industry:
Shocking Cruelty of South Korean Dog Meat Industry, Part 1 of 2: https://youtu.be/_ZVQjgGb4RQ
Part 2 of 2: https://vimeo.com/754160791
Dogs who suffered their entire lives are electric tortured and killed in cages—South Korea’s horrific dog meat industry. https://koreandogs.org/jtbc-news-electric-tortured-in-cages/
Call for Action: Incheon Ganghwa-gun Government must rescue all 500 dogs from hellscape illegal dog farm! https://koreandogs.org/ark119-raids-ganghwa-dog-farm/Do you think Palisades Park should be a Friendship city to any city that allows dogs and cats to be tortured and eaten by people?
Incheon Ganghwa-gun is one of the largest dog meat consumption and dog meat supplier cities/counties in South Korea. There are countless dog 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 filthy, feces encrusted raised wire cages in utter misery only to be slaughtered in the most horrific ways. They are killed by electrocution, hammer strikes to their head and necks, being hung, being 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 Ganghwa-gun, dogs are killed in full view of other terrified, caged dogs who tremble with terror. In addition, 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 many dozens of Health Centers which commonly sell dog/cat elixirs (also known as dog soju and cat soju) and dog meat restaurants in Ganghwa-gun.
Would you please urge Ganghwa-gun Mayor Yoo Chun-Ho to close down all illegal dog farms and slaughterhouses, markets, truckers, and restaurants that serve their products? An online petition calling for your support in ending the horrendous dog and cat meat cruelty in Ganghwa-gun is in progress: https://chng.it/CpNWhMfM.
On behalf of all the animals suffering unimaginable cruelty in the dog and cat meat industry, we thank you in advance and await your reply.
Sincerely,
- ☎️ Call the Palisades Park Mayor’s office: (201) 585-4100
Suggested phone message
Hello, I’m calling to speak to someone in the Mayor’s Office to ask for their help on an important issue regarding your Friendship City, Ganghwa-gun, in South Korea.
If I could explain: Dog-meat consumption is currently being practiced in that county, 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, so I am calling on their behalf. And, I believe that your Borough would wish to be made aware of this issue, as you would not want to affiliate with a county 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 Incheon and Ganghwa-gun 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 Ganghwa-gun to urge them to enforce their laws, not ignore them, show compassion to their companion animals, and respect their citizens by bringing these trades 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.

Help
Tens of thousans European boycott South Korea and as tourists we boycott South Korea to as long as the indescribably brutal treatment, the trade and consumption of dog and cat meat exists in your SHAME-country, that should have disappeared from the map long ago.
One of the sickest countries in the world!
One of the sickest countries in the world! Lopettakaa heti tuo julmuus lemmikkejä kohtaan, mätänette helvetissä !
Animals are just like humans just with fur. There is a hell for murderers. They feel, have emotions, and even personalities. God is horrified as well by all this violence. Why the world is ending. Animals are the most innocent. They are gods test for evil people.
Animals are Gods test for evil people. They feel , have emotions,animals are the most innocent.
I would never visit South Korea
mails done.
I am a Central Asian, who lives in Southern California, having been born in Los Angeles. Old traditions in this day and age, should be rexamined, because the time is right, there is now the Internet,and the movement for the basic rights for all living beings is a growing phenomenanon . All over Asia, especially North Asia, it’s long overdue for this particular practice to end, because of it’s everyday cruelties, and studies have shown that the meats produced from this tradition don’t have the health or virility benefits , it’s just old wives’ tales from long ago. How unfortunate that this has been so lucrative in the restaurant industry ! Given all the facts, it’s now beneath you and other Asian countries, including Thailand, Indonesia, the Philippines, one can go on and on about this. When it comes to improving one’s health or virility, there truly ARE better ways. Please consider all these truths. And make the needed reforms soon. Respectfully yours, Y. Sevelova.
