Call for Action:
Illegal puppy mill/dog farm in Nonsan, Deokpyeong-ri.
We saw another tragic news story yesterday reporting a fire at a dog farm in Ulsan Ulju-gun, South Korea. All 50 of their caged dogs were burnt to death. This happens all too often in South Korea and it breaks our hearts to hear about it, but if we don’t take action, this will never end. South Korea will not change without strong pressure from within their country as well as from outside. Click HERE for the Korean news.
In Nonsan, South Korea, there is a puppy mill/farm operating illegally and we would like the City of Nonsan to take action to close it down. This place, in Chungcheongnam-do, Nonsan-si, Bujeok-myeon Deokpyeong-ri 21-14, breeds dogs for pets and also for meat. Their dogs, of various breeds and sizes, are kept in deplorable conditions, and the immense suffering which they are forced to endure is beyond imagination. When any of their dogs become too old or sick to produce litters for the pet trade, the operators get rid of them by selling them on to the dog-meat industry.
We are asking the City of Nonsan to take immediate action to close this place down immediately and permanently, impose fine for the violations and rescue all the dogs in this farm and provide them with opportunity to be adopted to loving and caring homes. Please file an online petition with the Korean government using their official petition site, e-people.

[Campaign update]
Pompei Commissioner Cafagna responds – not the right time.
|
|
Special Commissioner of Pompei, Dr. Donato Cafagna, responded to our campaign on January 12, 2017. He stated that Pompei is currently under receivership and therefore he is not able to take action on this issue. This is not the response we had hoped for, so we are disappointed. We will continue our campaign with the hope that we won’t have to wait until June when the new Mayor is elected, because that is still in the distant future. We hope that Dr. Cafagna’s will reconsider and reach out to Gyeongju.

A special thank you goes out to our Italian volunteer, Tamara, for contacting and urging the Mayor’s office several times to respond to us.
