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

Campaign updated on 9/20/2022.

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 2018, we welcomed Mayor Kim Seung-Su’s declaration that he plans to make Jeonju a “Dog Meat-Free City.” However, when we searched the internet today, we found that there are still many dog meat restaurants and shops operating in Jeonju which sell products made from dogs. Therefore, it’s time to urge the city of Jeonju and its new Mayor, Woo Beom-ki, to keep their promise to make Jeonju dogmeat-free.

In Jeonju, there are numerous dog meat restaurants and businesses that commonly sell products made with dogs. 👉 Click HERE to see “CARE raids dog farms and slaughterhouse in Jeonju that kills dogs by sticking a knife into the neck and let them bleed to death in agony.”

A Search Engine reveals the sickening scale of Jeonju’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 Jeonju.

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 present in the vicinity of Jeonju to supply these outlets.

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