The South Korean Ministry of Food and Drug Safety must stop the illegal dog meat industry in Korea!

Sharing for Korea Animal Rights Advocates (KARA).

Early in the morning, on the side of Moran Market in Seongnam, bodies of dogs are taken off the truck.
โ €
It is the carcass of dogs slaughtered at the Seulmoon-dong slaughterhouse in Goyang. The butcher caged the dogs he had bought at the auction houses, fixed their necks with a snare, electrocuted the dogs in front of other dogs, and sold the body to Moran Market.
โ €
We have been tracking the whereabouts of the butchers, and have seen dogs slaughtered in Seulmoon-dong taken to various markets and Bosintang(Bosintang is the name of ‘dog meat’ soup) restaurants.
โ €
The remaining 34 dogs and a mini-pig could have been rescued with the help of many citizens’ petition, KARA’s on-site complaint and Goyang City and Ilsan Police, but if not, they would have been killed and distributed as meat.

The 34 dogs rescued from the slaughterhouse were found to be three parvo-positive, ten corona-positive and six heartworm-positive. Two of them, in particular, died within a day after being rescued, vomiting blood. The current reality in South Korea is that dogs in this condition are secretly slaughtered, distributed, and sold as food at the Bosintang restaurants.
โ €
The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety is a government agency that is responsible for the safety of food in South Korea. In response to an official inquiry from KARA in 2018, the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety made it clear that ๐Ÿ“Œ โ€˜dog meat does not meet the required classification for livestock and is not recognized as a food ingredient.โ€™ However, they said, โ€˜since we have been eating dog meat for a long time due to our eating habits,โ€™ it is difficult to ban the industry. The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety are therefore neglecting their duty to the public in continuing to allow the distribution of illegal dog carcasses. (Related post https://www.ekara.org/activity/against/read/10368)
โ €
Dogs are illegally traded and slaughtered in many auction and slaughterhouses across the country, but the Ministry of Food and Drug Safety is still not cracking down on the clearly illegal industry.
โ €
The distribution, cooking, processing, and selling of dog meat, which is not classified as a food ingredient, is clearly illegal under the Food Sanitation Act. The dereliction of duty by The Ministry of Food and Drug Safety, which is responsible for national hygiene and food safety, is simply unacceptable.

    To know a dog is to know unconditional love. It is heartbreaking that these loyal creatures are suffering like this. They deserve to be treated with the same unwavering affection they give to mankind.
    Hope everyone has a happy, safe and healthy New Year!

    These poor animals all have the same sad look in their eyes even the puppies. This is a wicked trade and I hope and pray these countries see this and stop it. Its an accepted thing to do, so more eduction is needed for people to see its not, and the misery it causes. I will continue to sign these petitions and donate when i can.

    For thousands of years man has bred dogs to be man’s loyal companion. What kind of barbaric ignorant people would do this to them? I or my family will not purchase anything made in South Korea or China as in Kia, Hyundai, LG, Samsung and others as long as dogs are treated in this way. If itโ€™s made in an evil backward dog eating country don’t buy it. There are plenty of other more civilized nations.
