Moon Jae-In’s puppies.

On May 9th, there will be a Presidential election in South Korea. This is following the final ruling by the Constitutional Court on March 10 which upheld a decision by the country’s National Assembly to impeach President Park Geun-hye (the first female president in Korea) over alleged corruption.

Right now in Korea, the presidential hopefuls’ campaigns are in full swing. The unchallenged front runner in the poll is Mr. Moon Jae-In and he is the most likely candidate to strengthen the Animal Protection Law and help the animals in Korea. We support him and his pledge to lead his nation into a more ethical and compassionate society by improving the welfare of animals.

Mr. Moon Jae-In has posted a story about a stray dog who came into his life and what he had learned from that experience. Below is translation of a story shared on Moon Jae-In’s official blog on February 2, 2017.

Moon Jae-In’s puppies.

This is a blog post from 2012 when Moon Jae-In was a candidate for president in the 18th Presidential election.
At the time, Mr. Moon pledged plans for animal protection, such as the strengthening of the Animal Protection law.

Moon Jae-In’s puppies.

Mr. Moon’s pledge for animal welfare wasn’t something that his policy team created for him.
This policy came about because Mr. Moon is someone who has always loved dogs.
In December of 2015, Mr. Moon posted on his Facebook page, “The story of a stray dog.”
The story is about a stray dog named ‘Jisoon’ and his pet dog ‘Maru’ and their love, and finding homes for the puppies born between them. We would like to share that story with you.

Last July, I tweeted about the news that our dog had puppies.
The mother dog ‘Jisoon’ used to be a stray who was wandering around the outskirts of the village.
This dog, who looks like a mutt with a mix of brown Jindo dog, was so afraid of people that she never came close.
Even when she sees people from a far distance, she would run away.
The place where she usually hangs out was in the mountain behind our village.
When I take a walk, i would often see her from a distance, wandering around.
People called her a wolf dog.
I cannot remember when, but one day she started to visit our yard. It was to visit our male dog, Maru.
When I wake up in the morning and go outside, I would often see her standing next to the pan around Maru’s kennel, and then quickly run away.
I found the hole where she escapes and blocked it, but it was of no use.
In a not well constructed fence, she quickly found other holes.

Then one day, while we were taking a walk together on the mountain behind our village, Maru had found something.
Near the entrance to the walking trail, there was a pavilion, half-built and never completed, from a long time ago.
It is a place where I usually pass, without paying much attention, but when Maru started acting strangely, I looked inside and saw that there was a gap barely big enough for a dog to pass through under the floor where there was a cave-like space deep inside it.
And my goodness!
There were six to seven puppies less than a month old inside.
When I saw that, I could not help but worry about them.
I went there a few more times, but the mother dog could not be found, perhaps looking for food. Only the puppies welcomed the people.
It was dangerous to leave the puppies there alone.
After weaning, it would not be easy for the mother to find the food to feed them, and if the puppies went out of the cave, they may get lost or harmed by wild animals like weasels.
“What should we do?” My concerned daughter eventually brought all the puppies to our home.
Then we took care of the puppies until they were able to eat solid dog food and found homes for them with our neighbors.
The people in the village took care of the stray puppies.

Since we brought her puppies, Jisoon came even more often and took care of her puppies when people were not around.
As I had guessed, Jisoon was the mother.
The fact that she gave birth to her puppies and raised them all alone in the cave, was amazing.
The puppies were distributed to the neighbors, and as they grew, it became clear who was the father of the puppies.
The puppies were either white or brown, and the white puppies surprisingly resembled our dog Maru, who is a ‘Poongsan Dog’.
I do not know when it happened, but our dog Maru was their father.
It turned out that it was our responsibility to take the puppies and take care of them, after all.

As her puppies had all gone, Jisoon came to our house even more often as if it was her home, and circled around Maru.
She was still afraid of people, so when she sees a person, she would run away and go back to Maru.
She loved Maru, and faithfully followed him around.
When I would take Maru for a walk, she would appear out of nowhere and always follow us from a distance.
Even though she ate dog food which was left out in the yard, she would often startle us by bringing animals she caught such as weasel, baby elk, and rabbit.
She would hide these animals somewhere and eat them. However, what is surprising was that she would not eat them by herself, but she would bring the meat for Maru.
Jisoon’s devotion and love for Maru became well- known among the neighbors.
That’s how she got the name ‘Jisoon’(지순) which means ‘absolutely pure’ in Korean, because of her absolute love for Maru.

Yet, there was a problem.
Jisoon was going around attacking the female dogs in the village.
Strangely, she left the male dogs alone and only attacked the female dogs and sometimes the injury was so severe that it almost killed them.
People in the village thought that she was just a jealous female who wanted to keep Maru for herself.
Eventually, we decided to catch Jisoon and send her to the animal shelter.
After the discussion, we reported her to the 119 rescue team and captured her with an anesthetic injection gun.
When we captured her, we saw that she was still wearing the collar that was put on as a puppy. When her neck got thicker, the collar pierced deep into the skin, causing wounds that were severely infected.
The animal shelter said that they had no choice but to euthanize Jisoon because adoption is impossible in her condition.
We ended up not sending Jisoon to the animal shelter, but to the veterinary hospital for surgery on her wound.

After the wound healed, we had to capture her again and take care of her.
However, she was so clever and agile that we could not catch her.
We tried to entice her with food, corner her with several people, even tried tranquilizer and sleeping pills prescribed by a veterinarian, but none of it worked.
Even when she seemed to have fallen asleep with the tranquilizer, when peopled approached she ran way frantically.

Finally, what captured her was a method that was beyond our imagination.
While our family was out, leaving Maru in the yard unleashed, Maru and Jisoon were copulating. When our family returned, Maru dragged Jisoon into his house.
Jisoon, captive in the dog house, became pregnant and gave birth to a litter of puppies.
Another amazing thing is that through those puppies, we were able to find out who the father of Jisoon was.
Among 7 puppies, 3 puppies were brown and 3 puppies were white like the mother and father’ colors.
However, one was totally unexpectedly ‘4 eyes’ Jindo dog with black fur.
He was a rare breed of Jindo which has black fur with a white spot above the eyes which makes it appear to have four eyes.

We had a dog named ‘Kam’, a companion to Maru, who I had left with my neighbor while I was running in the general election and he was a ‘4 eye’ Jindo.
And there were no other ‘4 eye’ Jindos in the area.
Therefore, we knew that Kam was the father of Jisoon.

All seven puppies grew up in good health and as I promised on the tweet, they were all distributed on a first come, first served basis to applicants from Seoul, Busan, and Yangsan.
When you see how the stray Jisoon was able to reproduce, we don’t know how her puppies will again reproduce.
If we think about it, there is no life in the world that is not precious.
Through stray Jisoon and her puppies, I think about the preciousness of life and the mystery of destiny/relationships/fate.

Mr. Moon does not just love dogs.
Professor Yu Hong-Joon, author of “My Heritage Exploration”, said that Moon Jae-In loves trees, and his knowledge of wild flowers is on a professional level.
It’s to a level where he visits all the arboretums around the country.
The reason why he often climbs mountains is to see the trees and the grass.
We became close because we have similar hobbies.
There was a tree which looked like it was dying in his house in Yangsan. It looked as though it wasn’t going to live, so I told his wife, Kim Jeong-Sook, “Wouldn’t it be better to just cut it down?”. Then she replied, “No. I thought about that too, but I saw my husband holding the tree and talking to it saying ‘Tree, please get well soon and grow. If you don’t, my wife will cut you down. We cannot let that happened. Can we? Get well soon.”

Moon Jae-In loves not only dogs and cats but even the plants.

Moon Jae-In’s Campaign poster states:

Our animal friends are asking Moon Jae-In:
Can we be happy too?
Can we live our lives without worries, with the people who love us and we can love in return?

Moon Jae-In responds to animal friends:
I was happy because I had companions like Jjingjjing and Maru.
They gave me much comfort and joy.
Now, it’s my turn to help them.
I will strengthen the Animal Protection Laws and Animal Administration.
There will be no more cruel slaughter or burying alive of animals.
In order to stop the animals being killed in laboratory testing, I will ban all animal testing in the cosmetic industry and I will invest in researching the alternatives.
I will try to improve the lives of abandoned and stray animals.
You must be happy before we can be happy.
Now together, we may dream of happiness.

    Thank you so much, Mr Moon Jae-In, for your actions and compassion for animals. The reputation of South Korea is being severely damaged by the shameful treatment of animals that is occurring in your country. I hope you are successful in your election campaign and that you will act to stop the unbelievable cruelty that is occurring. I and many others will unfortunately have to stop buying South Korean products until animal cruelty is stamped out in South Korea. Thank you for your care and good luck.

    I am so sorry for I cannot believe these stories anymore. For me personally South and North Korea are a shameful race. A for us pet eating country. Both, North AND South. What is the difference? Both eat dogs and cats prepared on an horrifying way. Never will I have respect for those human beings. Maybe and I hope for you he can be your new president. So what. Korean people still will be eating and torture animals in an incredible , not a for us normally way. I wish you , (for us, house pets with cuddles and sleeping in our beds) a good decision for the future. Pets give us people so much joy and happiness.

    You sound like an angel. I’d vote for you and I live in Australia. I wish you were running foir election here. We are so saddened by the live export trade an our govts personal interests in it and total disregard for the suffering they endure. The lucky ones die before destination. I have been following the progress of a few who rescue from live dogmeat trade and from dogmeat farms. Some of the pics and stories of Boknal are my worst nightmares. The unimaginable terror and torture the dogs and cats suffer is like a horror movie. And each one is alone with no one to help them only the cruel torturer. Imagine them looking in the eye of the torturer and crying for kindness and being lifted out of the hot water as if rescued and next to the poor animal horror being put back into the near boiling water imagine the total confusion and betrayal. The dogs have seen what happens when one of their cagemates get taken out. Every dog is terrified to be taken when rescued from a cage or from a cage at a dogmeat farm. Its just so heart breaking to realise they know, they have seen….I do hope your sucessful at election. I wish I could vote for you. I may not be able to vote for you officially but I can make a peoples choise vote-yes for Mr Moon Jai-In.

If he is elected president of Korea he will take that nation out of the dark ages it finds itself in right now and bring it to the 21st century! Korea will no longer be despised worldwide for their unbelivable cruelty towards dogs and cats but respected and admired for their compassion! You can see the goodness and gentleness of this great man’s soul in his face! God bless him!

    Congratulations president Moon. I was very moved by your story and trust you will be truly a modern president with compassion for your people and all living things. Please put the animal protection law in place, and thank you!

    Thank you President Moon for being a man of compassion, love, empathy, kindness and respect for animals which are the best qualities we can all have and hope would underpin changes in Animal Welfare laws in your country. These guiding principles we hope would push the ban of the dog and cat meat trades for good and close down every breeding farms. With much sadness I appeal to you to make this happen soon to save the living dogs and cats from the upcoming festival.

    Honorable President,
    I entreat you with all the strength of my heart and soul to ban the trade in dog and cat meat and to banish the annual Boknal Festival in July.
    I beg you to take example on Taiwan, who has forbidden this trade once and for all. This decision was applauded by the whole world.
    I thank you very much in advance for helping, continuing and taking part in this change of mentality.

    I remember Moon saying this before and nothing happened to end the horror. How can you have dogs yourself and not stop the evil your country does ? How can you have laws but ignore them ? I don’t have much faith in you, but, prove me wrong .
