[Call for Action] Dog meat farmers trading
​hundreds of dogs in the hillside in Yangsan

Busan Korea Alliance for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Busan KAPCA)and Kookje newspaper reported the below story:

A scene has been recorded of dog meat farmers from across the country trading hundreds of dogs at a hillside of Yangsan(Gyeongsangnam-do Province). On July 11th, the Busan KAPCA exposed video of dogs, raised for consumption, being secretly traded on July 4th at a hillside in Yangsan. Dog farmers from across the country were trading these dogs.

The footage contains pictures of seven or eight large Dosa dogs in a tiny and rusty metal cage with no space in which to move. During the course of the trade, dogs that were not cooperating were jabbed with iron sticks. One struggling dog is shown being grabbed by the collar. It is estimated that there are several hundreds of dogs in metal cages that are lined up in vacant lot. The dogs were being sold for 400,000 to 600,000 Korean won each, and it was estimated that up to 250 dogs were being sold daily.

“The Dog Meat Professional: South Korea” book is now available

The Dog Meat Professionals: Investigating the South Korean dog meat trade by James Hyams is now available at Amazon.com.

From the author: This book is a by-product of the most in-depth and balanced investigative documentary into the dog meat trade in South Korea to date. To get the information to write this book and produce the documentary, we went deep into the world of the dog meat farmers, slaughterers, and activists and have consequently exposed the realities of the dog meat trade from birth, growth, reproduction, slaughter, and consumption. For activists, this journey is about saving the dogs. For the dog meat association, dog farmers and merchants, this journey is about maintaining their livelihood. Both parties believe mistruths about the dog meat industry which are perpetuated by international animal activists.
