The dog farm located in Incheon Ganghwa-gun Gilsang-myeon Kkachigol-gil 43 is suspected to be an unregistered facility and has been contributing to pollution of the environment and thus requires urgent administrative measures!
1. Under the current enforcement decree of the Act on the Management and Use of Livestock Excreta, any dog farm at least 60 square meters in size is subject to registration as a waste emission facility. Any illegal dog farms operating without proper registration must be ordered to suspend operation and close per Articles 17 and 18 of the Act. Administrative actions such as the imposition of fines must be issued according to Article 50 and the enforcement decree Article 20 of the same law.
2. Illegal dog slaughter may violate Article 8 of the Animal Protection Act. If a dog farm has committed an illegal dog slaughter, they will be sentenced to less than two years in prison and fined up to 20 million won. Please inspect the dog farm site to check if illegal dog slaughter is committed and report it to the police.
3. According to Articles 25 and 46 of the Waste Control Act, food waste feed recycling requires that dog farms are equipped with appropriate facilities and must be registered and authorized by the municipal government. Please inspect the dog farm to check if the food waste is being fed to dogs and take appropriate administrative actions per Article 66 for violations.
4. In the case of temporary buildings: Dog farms must obtain approval according to the Building Act Article 14 (Building Reports) and Article 20 (Temporary Buildings). Please remove the building if the building is unauthorized.
5. If sewage contamination is found: Personal sewage treatment facilities must be reported per Article 34, Paragraph 2 of the Sewerage Act. After inspecting the discharge of manure and wastewater into the public water, please take administrative measures per Article 77 of the Sewerage Act.
6. If household waste is found: Unlawful dumping and loading of household waste violate Article 13 of the Waste Control Act. After investigating the accumulation of household waste in the vicinity, please take measures per Article 66-1 of the Waste Control Act.
7. Breeding dogs in raised wire cage is a violation of the Animal Protection Act and extreme animal cruelty. Please take administrative action immediately.
8. Dog breeding must obtain a permit. Please take administrative action.
Our worldwide campaign urging your county to shut down all illegal dog farms and slaughterhouses is in progress. https://koreandogs.org/incheon-ganghwa-dog-farms/

Pure hell.
I wish i could save them all.

such places should not exist Shut Down and PROSECUTE
Should be illegal in all countries. If caught, thrown in prison and heavily prosecuted. Having to fork over $$$$ if caught is the only way.
Please close down all dog farms of South Korea. They are illegal besides being immoral and unethical. It is extremely disappointing to see South Korea ignore the basic foundation of humanity and civilization in this 21st century. It sheds a black shadow on your country, which prides itself to be a nation of technological progress. Yes, South Korea has made major advancements in many fields — but is sadly lagging far behind in the Dark Ages when it comes to aknowledging that animals are not commodities, but living beings. Living beings that sense fear, hunger, pain, and so much more, which we human beings deny them because of our gross misconceptions and a blinding drive to make a profit wherever possible, regardless of the consequences. But — is it moral, is it acceptable, to look the other way to the indescribable, immense suffering of a sentient and intelligent being, just so one can fill ones pocket? Does South Korea have no problem justifying the abhorrent dog farm industry because it is a profitable business? Despite the pain, the blood, the stench, the cries..? If so, what then has happened to Korean culture, to the old poems and literature and songs? Has the human element died out in South Korea? Have the old virtues disappeared from today’s people completely? Please show the world that the Korean people are not steeped in the horror of these dog farms, that the government is aware and is working to rectify the terrible abuse and the scenes that shock us beyond words.
