Last Friday (July 12) was the first of three days of Boknal in Korea, the “Dog Days of Summer” when dog meat consumption is traditionalized. In Daegu, Korean activists from around the country, gathered to protest, demanding the shutdown of Chilseong Market, the largest dog meat market which is still in business . Let’s add our voice to support these activists and urge the Daegu government to shut down the horrific and barbaric Chilseong Dog Meat Market immediately!

We posted campaign updates with responses from the Korean government.

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 fifth year in a row for the 3 days of Boknal (dog eating is traditionalized in Korea – Chobok 7/12 (last Friday), Jungbok 7/22, and Malbok 8/9 (Demonstration is on 8/9 Friday because Malbok 8/11 is on Sunday) in 2019) and EVERYONE IS INVITED. YOU DON’T HAVE TO BE A MEMBER OF THE ANIMALS’ BATTALION. IF YOU CARE ABOUT THE KOREAN DOGS, PLEASE JOIN.
