Gangnam. A district of Seoul that likes to be top of the charts: it has fabulous shops, fashionable restaurants and rich, rich, rich inhabitants.

But, while the glitterati are busy doing it ‘Gangnam Style’, the butchers are busy doing it their own barbaric way. Dogs are commodities; they end up in restaurants and ‘health food shops’.

But unlike the care and attention that, no doubt, is lavished on the pretty and expensive items displayed in Gangnam’s shiny shops (after all, the products must reach their customers in top condition), the only ‘attention’ that the meat-dogs get is neglect, abuse, terror and torture: eardrums are burst to deter barking, barren cages are used to lessen costs, living creatures are bludgeoned to ‘improve flavour’; and the dogs are often blow-torched or boiled alive – for reasons unfathomable and – most assuredly – unjustifiable.

And to put into perspective the scale of this aberrance, a simple search on the most popular Korean search engine, called Naver, will bring up: health food centers: 163 listings; dog-meat restaurants: 69 listing in the vicinity of Gangnam District alone.

Gangnam: a number one chart-topper; or merely a sorry excuse for hellish abuse? You decide.

In South Korea, celebrities are worshiped and admired by so many people, from all age groups. Their fans are keen to know all about them, they listen to all their messages, watch everything they do and take in what they say – and this special place in the hearts of their admirers means that the celebrities have a real opportunity to make a difference for their country.

We are now asking the celebrities to make this difference for the animals in their country by publicly opposing the horrendous dog-meat trade and helping to bring about its permanent end.

The celebrities can prove that their country is one to be proud, they can speak out about these wrongdoing, their fans will listen – and they will make a difference.
