Suggested message to the Mayor and the City Council of Irvine
Dear Mayor Steven S. Choi and the City Council members:
I would like to thank you and the City Council of Irvine for responding to our concerns raised via the recent petition on Change.org about the mistreatment, torture and consumption of companion animals in Irvine’s Sister City of Seoul Seocho-gu District.
Both domestic and international pressure on this issue is required if we are going to incite some real change in South Korea, so I kindly urge you to continue reaching out to your sister city until affirmative action is taken by the Seocho-gu district to end the horrific practice of the dog meat trade for good.
Thank you again for your efforts here.

ALLEGATIONS!!!! Why mince words? These are not allegations, there is thousands of videos proving the torture and it has to stop. Don’t pussy foot around this issue. And don’t stop fighting until it is done.
Despicable uncivilised treatment of domesticated pets. south korea expects us to Trade with them and to be involved in World affairs yet behave like savages. Until this stops and you end #boknal we will never let you forget and we will continue to boycott you.

Many thanks for your good intentions but until all dogs and cats are free to live their lives as they choose, Korea will remain on the world’s Black List for it’s horrific lack of humane treatment of God’s wonderful cats and dogs!
yes many thanks to all that is trying to stop this cruelty…cats and dogs do not deserve to be tortured and killed for human enjoyment by eating them. I will never stop supporting these cause..these animals are one of the most lovable loyal and unconditional love a human will ever know.
Thank you Mayor to out a end to this unnessesary killing
Of dogs!!
Thank you so so much!!!!!!
THANK YOU!!!
Thank you for caring
Thank u
Thank you Mayor for humanity
Thanks for caring!
Your continued support of the campaign to end the consumption of Dogs and Cats, and the immense and unjustified cruelty associated with it would be appreciated worldwide. Nor can I believe that the awful and disgusting treatment and exploitation of intelligent animals in this way in the 21st century is widely supported by the general population of the people of South Korea, or is indeed in their interests nationally in terms of the level of negative and outright condemnation that has been expressed worldwide on this issue as a result. Your children, and your children’s children will thank you for your humanity when this ongoing torture and cruelty to these innocent and vulnerable creatures is brought to an end.
Thank you so so much for ending this!
Thank you so much for being the voice for the voiceless!
GRAZIE DAL PROFONDO DEL CUORE, CHE DIO LA BENEDICA!

This wicked ,war-torn world we all live in is caused by : hatred, greed and wickedness and until man can live and respect himself and all life there will never be PEACE in this world. THANK YOU FOR YOUR BRAVE ACTION and MUCH SUCCESS TO YOU.
