Gwangyang, South Korea, Shut down illegal dog meat farms, slaughterhouses, markets, and restaurants.

Campaign updated on 12/14/2022.

Gwangyang Mayor Jung In-hwa

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.

In Gwangyang, there are numerous dog farms, slaughterhouses, markets, and restaurants where the dogs, who have been 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.

South Korea’s horrific dog farms.

A Search Engine reveals the sickening scale of Gwangyang’s dog meat demand.

Shown below are two search results on Naver (the most popular search engine in Korea) – the first 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”.

The searches resulted in dozens of Health Centers and dog meat restaurants in the vicinity of Gwangyang.

Even if half of these ‘Health’ Centers and restaurants serve dog and cat ‘ingredients’ in one form or another, imagine how many dog/cat slaughterhouses must be in the vicinity of Gwangyang to supply these outlets.

There are laws in South Korea against selling dogs and cats for consumption, yet these laws are blatantly ignored.

    The Korean Government should be shutting these illegal farms NOW.
    They are allowing this illegal brutal and MURDER of innocent Animals to continue in there Country. It is MURDER and it is illegal. Those that are involved in the MURDER of innocent and helpless Animals, should be prosecuted and imprisoned for there act of cruelty. Dogs and cats were not put on this earth to be tortured and abused. They were not put on this earth for human consumption.
