We completed the Sister city campaign addressed to the U.S. cities and now working on other English- speaking countries. Canada, Australia and UK are those countries and they have quite a few Sister/Friendship city relationships with Korea. Below are the new campaigns addressed to these countries. Will they speak out against the cruelty of the South Korean dog meat trade? Take action now.

The Venerable Matthieu Ricard has responded to our campaign by writing and publishing this article: A Dog for Dinner? on his homepage as well as in the Huffington Post. It’s written in his native language, French, as well as in English.

We will be displaying our banners and posters, and will be handing out leaflets and collecting petition signatures against the extremely cruel South Korean dog meat trade at the Fisherman’s Wharf, the famous San Francisco tourist attraction and landmark. We will need the help of volunteers to hand out our leaflets and to talk to as many of the visitors as possible, to make them aware of our campaign to help the South Korean dogs and cats. Can you help? Click HERE to see the photos from our previous event on July 1, 2017!
Free T-shirts and cold drinks are provided to volunteers at this event.

Location: San Francisco, Fisherman’s Wharf located near the corner of Jefferson and Powell streets along the chain link fence.

Date/Time: August 26, 2017 Saturday. 9:30am – 4:45pm.

These photos are of the ‘Boknal’ demonstrations, organized by The Animals’ Battalion, at the Korean Consulate Generals Office in New York. The first photo is from the day 2 of this year’s demonstration while the second photo shows day 2 of the demonstration last year. Can you tell the difference in the attendance? It’s noticeably smaller this year, which is very sad as the demonstration should be bigger this year, not smaller.

New York area activists, please stand up and speak out on behalf of the Korean animals in the dog and cat meat trade! If you don’t speak out, who will??

Day 3 of this year’s demonstration will be on Friday, August 11, from 3 – 6 pm. Please note the time has been changed in an effort to reach Consulate General Gheewhan Kim who has not acknowledged us yet. Click HERE for more information about the event.

Where: Consulate General of the Republic of Korea
460 Park Ave, 57th Street, New York, NY 10022

Time: 3 pm – 6 pm
(Consulate Hours: Open • 9 am – 12 pm, 1:30 pm – 4 pm)

Those of you not in New York can still help out and add your voice by picking up the phone and making a call. Please give your 2 minutes. It could save a life.

Posters and brochures will be provided but homemade posters, props and other materials are encouraged! We also have petitions to be signed and sent to the Ambassador of South Korea.
