We are making progress with our Sister City campaign. Regardless of whether these US cities are responding to us or not, I believe, many of them do make contacts with their Korean counterparts. The Korean cities that want to form cultural and economic ties with U.S. cities would have to respond and also make changes in order to show that they are making an effort. So let’s keep it going.

We are grateful to all the cities and their mayors who have respond to our Sister City campaigns. Last week, we had received a further update from Cedar City’s Mayor Wilson who shared with us the letter from their Sister city, Gapyeong. We also recieved a response from Leesburg letting us know that they don’t have an official relationship with Samcheok. We have now closed these campaigns.

We are very excited that the New York based animal rights group “The Animals’ Battalion” will be organizing demonstrations in front of the Korean Consulate General’s Office for the third year in a row for the 3 days of Boknal (dog eating is ritualized in Korea – Chobok 7/12, Joongbok 7/22, and Malbok 8/11 in 2017). They held 3 demonstrations in the previous two years at the same location and were covered by ABC network news in New York and also South Korea.

We are urging the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization(UNFAO) to join us in the fight to end the dog meat trade in Asia. The ugly truth is that dog tonics and soup are harvested and created in an unregulated industry in the most disgusting and unsanitary conditions. From start to finish the treatment of the dogs is incredibly cruel and inhumane.

We are reaching out to the UNFAO to help us bring an end to the dog meat trade in South Korea.
 

Please continue to join us. This is one of the easiest ways to raise awareness, the first step to change!
