Mayor of Burbank: Tell Sister City, Incheon, South Korea, That We’re Opposed to 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, South Korea became a Sister City with Burbank in 1961, despite the fact that Incheon, South Korea is responsible for a horrendous dog and cat meat cruelty.

In South Korea, home to global companies such as Hyundai, Kia, Samsung, LG, Daewoo, SK, and POSCO, an estimated 2.5 million dogs are tortured and slaughtered every year because of the greed of dog eaters and the dog meat industry, and the profound indifference of the majority of South Koreans who does nothing to stop this. One of the cities which supports the illegal mass breeding and brutal slaughter of dogs for human consumption is Incheon.

Have you ever wondered what Hell is like? Watch the videos below from dog farms and slaughterhouses in Incheon. There are no words to describe the daily horror of these “Hell On Earth.” And there are so many dog restaurants, slaughterhouses, farms and meat markets like these all around Incheon.

Countless dog farms and slaughterhouses are scattered throughout Incheon and they truly are hell on earth for the defenseless dogs suffering there. Man’s best friend exists for their entire lives in squalid, feces encrusted raised wire cages in utter misery only to be slaughtered in the most horrific ways – by electrocution, a hammer blow to the neck, being hung or beaten, bleeding to death from a slashed throat, being burned to death from a blowtorch, or thrown into a vat of boiling water while still alive.

A Search Engine reveals the sickening scale of Incheon’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 435 Health Food Shops and 241 restaurants in the vicinity of Incheon.

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 Incheon to supply these outlets.

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

Call for Action

Suggested message:

Dear Mayor Sharon Springer and the members of the Burbank city council:

Please watch the below videos from dog farm/slaughterhouses in Incheon, South Korea: https://youtu.be/rq5-YeKf3jc, https://youtu.be/ldblUoQ2tvo, https://youtu.be/DplnaPSUKFQ, https://youtu.be/QmTKI4sclCQ.
Also watch the below undercover video from the South Korea’s dog meat industry: https://youtu.be/_ZVQjgGb4RQ

Do you think Burbank should be a Sister City to any city that allows dogs and cats to be tortured and eaten? Please urge Incheon Mayor Park Nam-Chun 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 South Korean dog and cat meat cruelty is in progress: https://www.change.org/p/burbank-mayor-the-hon-emily-gabel-luddy-tell-sister-city-incheon-south-korea-that-we-re-opposed-to-torture-and-consumption-of-dogs-and-cats

    We MUST make S. Korea LISTEN and change their ways regarding dogs and cats — they’ll continue their horror UNLESS we find that which will FORCE them to change!

    I THINK IT IS TIME TO CHANGE, WE CAN NOT CONTINUE TO DO THE SAME THINGS. THIS MARKET IS A MISTAKE, IT IS AWFUL AND UNFORGIVABLE. CRUELTY WITH ANIMALS IS INDESCRIBABLE, WE DON´T NEED MORE ANIMAL PRODUCTS. PLEASE LEAVE THESE ANIMALS IN PEACE. IT IS ENOUGH! THE CRUELTY PROMOTES INSENSIBILITY, UNCONSCIOUSNESS AND VIOLENCE BETWEEN OUR SOCIETIES. WE HAVE TO EVOLVE AND BE MORE SENSITIVE, MORE COMPASSIVE AND BETTER HUMAN BEINGS.
