👊 Action alert: Shut down the illegal dog farm in Gimpo, Aegibong-ro 409beon-gil 346, and relocate all the dogs to the Gimpo shelter.

Sharing from Jeong So-hyeon:

The dog farmer casually carries out a small dead puppy, starved to the point where his ribs are showing. He curses at him as if somehow his death was his own fault rather than the result of being fed nothing but rotten and inedible food all of his short life. This is life in a dog farm in Gimpo Aegibong-ro 409 beon-gil 346, where Woody, the mother of the @saebom_house puppies, and their siblings are locked away.

From the outside, it looks like a typical cow barn, but inside, mother dogs that are illegally bred are laying on their stomachs with empty eyes, as if they have abandoned hope long ago. The tent above them is tattered to the point where it provides no protection against the rain or wind. When you enter the building and call out, there is not even a response from the dogs pressed up against the raised cages.

On the right side of the dog farm, with the door closed like a fortress, there are cages lined up vertically and horizontally, full of mothers with wounds all over their bodies but still struggling to somehow comfort their newborn puppies. Five or six puppies are crumpled and howled in each cage.

In the summer of 2022, during the Gimpo and Ganghwa dog farm investigation with ARK119, officials from Gimpo City visited this dog farm accompanied by members of ARK119. It is unknown what administrative measures, if any, were taken by the city. Please help by submitting a civil complaint about this place where illegal breeding, abuses, auctions, and sales are still occurring.

Multiple laws are currently being broken, including Illegal construction, violation of the Waste Disposal Act, violation of the Feed Management Act, violation of the livestock manure facility installation registration requirement, and violation of the Animal Protection Act! If this place is not shut down despite such brazen illegal activities, the administration of Gimpo City will continue to demonstrate that they are a negligent and passive organization.

Our complaint may be nothing more than a small pebble thrown in the water, but we hope that the ripple it causes might save other dogs with no future other than an existence of never-ending suffering, neglect, and indifference. Please be their voice. File the e-People petition today.

Call for Action

Jeong So-hyeon‘s post in Korean:

아직 뼈도 다 안선 것 같은 작은 아이가 썩은 음식물과 함께 실려나옵니다. 드러난 갈비뼈, 너무 마른 작은 아이를 아무렇지도 않게 짐처럼 싣고나와 욕설을 퍼붓습니다. 여기는 우디와, @saebom_house 아이들의 어미, 형제들이 있는 김포 애기봉로 개농장입니다.
밖에서 볼 때는 우사같은 곳 안은 불법교배를 당하는 어미견들이 공허한 눈빛으로 엎드려 있습니다. 비바람을 가릴 천막은 다 찢어져 휑하게 뚫린 뜬장에 기댄채 불러도 반응이 없습니다.
철옹성처럼 문을 닫아 건 우측 개농장에는 만신창이가 된 배로, 갓낳은 꼬물이들을 품고있는 어미와 새끼들이 가득한 뜬장이 종횡으로 도열해 있습니다. 빠른 속도로 자라는 어린 아이들이 5~6마리씩 구겨져 아우성치고 있습니다.
2022년 여름 @119ark 의 강력한 제안으로, 김포 강화 개농장 전수조사 차 김포시 공무원들이 이 곳 개농장에 다녀갔지만 어떤 행정처분을 했는지 알 수 없습니다. 여전히 불법 사육과 학대, 불법경매장과 개장수에게 개 판매행위가 이루어지는 이 곳에 대한 민원을 넣어주시길 호소합니다.
불법건축물, 폐기물처리법 위반, 사료관리법 위반, 가축분뇨시설 설치신고위반, 동물보호법 위반! 이와 같은 불법행위에도 이 곳이 철거, 폐쇄되지 않는다면 김포시는 태만하고 소극적인 행정을 하고 있음을 스스로 반증하는 것입니다
저희의 민원이 작은 조약돌 던지기에 불과할 수도 있지만 그 작은 파문이 어쩌면 철저히 사람들의 무관심 속에 방치되어 고통받는 것 외엔 아무런 희망이 없던 다른 아이들을 살릴 수도 있습니다. 민원 동참을 호소합니다
김포시 애기봉로 409번길 346.
