As we had reported earlier, Animal Rescue Korea 119 (ARK119) had raided an illegal dog farm in Incheon Ganghwa County where about 500 dogs were found in horrendous conditions. 👉 Click HERE to learn more.
We have been trying to get Ganghwa County to relocate the dogs to city shelters to provide urgent medical care and safety. According to the Korean Animal Protection Act, animals who are victims of abuse must be removed from their owner who caused them harm.

I had called the Ganghwa County several times last week and spoke to about six Ganghwa officials there, pleading for them to take urgent action to relocate the 500 dogs. I told them that since they had allowed these dogs to be illegally farmed by turning a blind eye to violations committed by the dog farm, it is their responsibility to remedy this situation toward a positive and humane conclusion.

I have also been sending our change.org petition signatures and comments to the Incheon City Council, Ganghwa County Council, Gyeonggi-do Provincial Council and Korean National Assembly members. But so far, they have not taken any action to relocate these dogs nor have they shown any intention to do so.

I have also contacted three animal rights attorneys in Korea who specialize in Animal laws, but I have not yet received a response from any of them.

Time is running out and I am sure many of these poor animals have already perished by brutal, torturous deaths and many were probably sent to other dog farms to continue their suffering.

Let’s ask Incheon’s Sister Cities to help us by urging their Korean counterparts to relocate these dogs immediately.

Below are Incheon’s Sister Cites. Please send quick emails TODAY! The animals need your help.

👉 Video: Please watch the ARK119’s livestream video from the raid on July 13, 2021.
You will see the dog farm of indescribable horror.

  These poor dogs have suffered unimaginable abuse their entire lives. Some will be horrifically slaughtered, while others will be sent to other dog farms to continue their miserable existence.

  We have made requests to the city of Incheon to please remove these poor dogs from the control of the abusive dog farm owner and provide them the protection to which they are entitled per current Korean law, the Animal Protection Act. It has been over a month since our request but the city of Incheon still has taken no action to save these suffering dogs.

  Instead, the city authorities are trying to protect the profits of the criminal who has profited by inflicting unimaginable, unspeakable cruelty on these defenseless animals.

  We are hoping that you will contact your Sister city and ask them to save these dogs.

  We, and the poor dogs at the illegal dog farm, thank you for your time and consideration!!

  We hope to hear from you soon.

  Sincerely,

  Subject: Per favore, aiutateci a salvare 500 cani dall’inferno di un allevamento illegale a Incheon, città gemellata con la regione del Veneto – Italia

  Gent.mi Presidente Zaia e membri del Consiglio Regionale del Veneto,

  Stiamo urgentemente chiedendo il vostro aiuto per salvare 500 cani che vivono in condizioni infernali in un allevamento illegale della città gemellata Incheon (contea di Ganghwa).

  Chiediamo cortesemente di prendere visione dei seguenti filmati:

  Questa è la pagina della campagna: https://koreandogs.org/ark119-raids-ganghwa-dog-farm/

  Questa è la petizione su Change.org: https://www.change.org/p/incheon-ganghwa-gun-mayor-yoo-chun-ho-incheon-ganghwa-gun-rescue-all-500-dogs-from-hellscape-illegal-dog-farm-in-buleun-myeon

  Questi cani hanno sofferto abusi inimmaginabili per tutta la loro vita. Alcuni di loro verranno macellati brutalmente, mentre altri verranno mandati in allevamenti simili, continuando così a vivere in condizioni orribili.

  Abbiamo fatto richiesta alla città di Incheon di rimuovere i cani dall’allevamento illegale, sottraendoli agli abusi perpetrati dall’allevatore e offrendo loro protezione, che secondo la legge coreana (Animal Protection Act) spetta loro di diritto. E’ passata più di una mese da quando abbiamo inoltrato la richiesta, ma la città di Incheon non ha ancora fatto nulla per salvare questi cani, che continuano a soffrire.

  Le autorità della città, invece, stanno cercando di proteggere i profitti del proprietario dell\’allevamento, il quale guadagna infliggendo indicibili violenze su animali indifesi.

  Ci auspichiamo che contatterete la città gemellata Incheon chiedendo di salvare i cani.

  Noi, e i cani dell’allevamento illegale, vi ringraziamo per l’attenzione che vorrete dedicarci e restiamo in attesa di una vostra gradita risposta.

  Distinti saluti,

Video: “Hell for 500 dogs”. SBS News reported on this raid. Note, it focuses more upon a worker who has been at this farm for 10 years (who suffers from an intellectual disability) and sadly not enough on the horrible cruelty of this hellscape dog farm. The reporter says that the police launched an internal investigation into all illegal activities and violations committed at this dog farm and as soon as the charges are brought from the local government, they will start a full scale investigation. 500마리 개들의 지옥…그리고 처참한 ‘그’도 있었다
