Partnership Country Campaign – South Korea – Germany 🇰🇷🇩🇪
The Chancellor of Germany, Honorable Olaf Scholz: Please tell your Partnership Country, South Korea, you oppose the torture and consumption of dogs and cats.
If you want to help fight the grisly South Korean dog and cat meat trade and make a difference in South Korea, here are a few quick actions you can take that could save millions of dogs and cats each year.
The Associated Press reported on May 21, 2023, “South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol, in a joint news conference with German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, pointed to the similarities between the two major manufacturing nations that are dependent on foreign trade and said a stronger supply chain partnership would help them cope with “intensifying global economic instability and geopolitical conflicts.”
In South Korea, there are numerous dog farms, slaughterhouses, markets, and restaurants where the dogs, who have been tortured their entire lives, end up being slaughtered in the most inhumane ways, such as by electrocution, hanging, or beating, and then thrown into boiling water – sometimes while they are still alive. In many places, dogs are being killed in full view of other terrified, caged dogs; and this takes place in broad daylight. In addition, many abandoned and stolen former pets end up in this industry and are subject to the same cruelty.
A Search Engine reveals the sickening scale of South Korea’s dog meat demand.
Two searches on Naver (the most popular search engine in Korea) – one was for so-called “Health Centers,” which commonly sell dog elixirs and cat elixirs (also known as dog soju and cat soju), and the second one was for “dog meat restaurants” – resulted in thousands of Health Centers and dog meat restaurants in South Korea.
Even if half of these ‘Health’ Centers and restaurants serve dog and cat ‘ingredients’ in one form or another, imagine how many dog/cat slaughterhouses must be in South Korea to supply these outlets.
There are laws in South Korea against selling dogs and cats for consumption, yet these laws are blatantly ignored.

The Chancellor of Germany, Honorable Olaf Scholz: Please tell your Partnership Country, South Korea, you oppose the torture and consumption of dogs and cats.
Dear Chancellor, Honorable Olaf Scholz, and the members of the German government:
As Chancellor and representatives of Germany, we ask you to reconsider your “partnership” with South Korea, a country that permits dogs and cats to be horribly abused and brutally killed for food.
While graphic, these undercover videos depicting South Korea’s dog meat industry are important to watch:

South Korea consumes millions of dogs each year. There are countless dog farms and dog slaughterhouses in South Korea. Korean web searches turn up thousands of dog meat restaurants and so-called “Health Centers” that commonly serve soup made of dog meat as phony elixirs (also known as dog soju).
Dogs suffer their entire lives in filthy, feces-encrusted raised wire cages in dire misery only to be slaughtered in the most horrific of ways— tortured by electrocution, hammer strikes to their head, hanging, being beaten to death, having their throats slit, being burned alive with a blowtorch or thrown into a vat of boiling water while still alive. In many places, dogs are killed in full view of other caged dogs who tremble with terror. These poor dogs are often burned alive in their cages, unable to escape. They are fed rotten, maggot-infested garbage full of chili peppers unfit for any animals to eat, and they are not given water. In addition, beloved pets are often stolen and sold to these slaughterhouses, where they meet the same horrific fate. Puppies who die of disease are tossed away like trash, often left in front of cages to rot while their mothers watch and cry out in despair.
In the United States, Mayor Christopher Chung of Palisades Park, New Jersey, has already shown his rejection of the dog meat trade in no uncertain terms. As reported in the Korea Times, he recently rejected a visit from exchange students from the friendship city, Incheon Ganghwa County, due to its dog meat trade. In California, the Los Angeles City Council unanimously passed a resolution supporting legislation or administrative action that would request the governments of South Korea, China, Vietnam, Indonesia, and Cambodia ban the sale of dog meat and enforce their animal protection laws.
On behalf of companion animal-loving Germans and people worldwide, we ask that you follow these bold leads by not remaining silent in the face of such abhorrent cruelty. Please urge South Korean President Yoon Suk-yeol to shut down all dog farms, slaughterhouses, markets, dog meat restaurants, and truckers transporting dogs to their inevitable fates. An online petition calling for your support in ending such horrors perpetrated in South Korea is in progress: https://chng.it/Zk8QfkVB.
Thank you for your serious consideration. We eagerly await your reply.
Sincerely,
[Your name, city, country]

Olaf Scholz, Bundeskanzler von Deutschland: Bitte überdenken Sie Ihre Partnerschaft mit Südkorea.
Sehr geehrter Herr Bundeskanzler, Herr Olaf Scholz,
Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren Mitglieder der Bundesregierung,
Wir bitten Sie höflich, Ihre „Partnerschaft“ mit Südkorea zu überdenken, einem Land, das zulässt, dass Hunde und Katzen für den Verzehr schrecklich misshandelt und brutal getötet werden.
Diese Undercover-Videos sind zwar grausam, aber dennoch anschaulich:

Waldbrand in Uljin verbrennt Hunde, die in Hundefleischfarmen eingesperrt: https://youtu.be/mh1lEGt2gjU

Hunde, die ihr ganzes Leben lang gelitten haben, werden in Käfigen mit Elektroschocks gefoltert und getötet: https://koreandogs.org/jtbc-news-electric-tortured-in-cages/
Südkorea verzehrt jedes Jahr Millionen Hunde und Katzen. In Südkorea gibt es unzählige Hundefarmen und Hundeschlachthöfe. Koreanische Websuchen führen zu Tausenden von Hundefleischrestaurants und sogenannten „Gesundheitszentren“, in denen häufig Suppen aus Hundefleisch als falsche Elixiere (auch als Hunde-Soju bekannt) serviert werden.
Hunde leiden ihr ganzes Leben lang in schmutzigen, mit Fäkalien verkrusteten Drahtkäfigen in schrecklichem Elend, nur um dann auf die schrecklichste Art und Weise abgeschlachtet zu werden – gefoltert durch Stromschläge, Hammerschläge auf den Kopf, Erhängen, zu Tode geprügelt, durch Durchschneiden der Kehlen, lebendig mit einer Lötlampe verbrannt oder bei lebendigem Leib in einen Behälter mit kochendem Wasser geworfen. Vielerorts werden Hunde vor den Augen anderer eingesperrter Hunde getötet, die vor Angst zittern. Diese armen Hunde werden oft bei lebendigem Leib in ihren Käfigen verbrannt und können nicht entkommen. Sie werden mit verfaultem, von Maden befallenem Müll voller Chilischoten gefüttert, die für kein Tier zum Verzehr geeignet sind, und sie bekommen kein. Wasser zum Trinken. Darüber hinaus werden geliebte Haustiere oft gestohlen und an diese Schlachthöfe verkauft, wo sie das gleiche schreckliche Schicksal erleiden.
In den Vereinigten Staaten hat Bürgermeister Christopher Chung von Palisades Park, New Jersey, bereits deutlich seine Ablehnung des Hundefleischhandels zum Ausdruck gebracht. Wie die the Korea Times, berichtete, lehnte er kürzlich einen Besuch von Austauschstudenten aus der Freundschaftsstadt Incheon Ganghwa County wegen ihres Hundefleischhandels ab. In Kalifornien verabschiedete der Stadtrat von Los Angeles einstimmig eine Resolution zur Unterstützung von Gesetzen oder Verwaltungsmaßnahmen, mit denen die Regierungen Südkoreas, Chinas, Vietnams, Indonesiens und Kambodschas aufgefordert werden, den Verkauf von Hundefleisch zu verbieten und ihre Tierschutzgesetze durchzusetzen.
Im Namen der tierlieben Deutschen und Menschen weltweit, bitten wir Sie, diesen mutigen Hinweisen zu folgen und angesichts dieser abscheulichen Grausamkeit nicht zu schweigen. Bitte fordern Sie den südkoreanischen Präsidenten Yoon Suk-yeol auf, die Hundefleischindustrie zu schließen. Eine Online-Petition, die Sie um Ihre Unterstützung bei der Beendigung dieser in Südkorea begangenen Gräueltaten bittet, ist in Bearbeitung: https://chng.it/Zk8QfkVB.
Vielen Dank für Ihre Zeit!
Freundliche Grüße,

Hello, I’m calling to speak to someone in the Chancellor’s Office to ask for their help on an important issue regarding your Partnership Country, South Korea.
If I could explain: Dog-meat consumption is currently being practiced in that country, even though it is illegal under South Korean Law – but the laws are not enforced. The dog and cat meat trades involve extreme and widespread animal cruelty, and the animals suffer unimaginable pain and distress. They cannot speak for themselves, so I am calling on their behalf. And, I believe that your nation would wish to be made aware of this issue, as you would not want to affiliate with a nation where illegal and immoral torture is being carried out on any animal, and particularly not on ones that are loyal, trusting creatures, which look up to us humans as their guardians.
This illegal industry is being allowed to continue by South Korean authorities – even though there is growing opposition from pet guardians across South Korea and worldwide.
So, I am asking you to please speak with your counterparts in South Korea to urge them to enforce their laws, not ignore them, show compassion to their companion animals, and respect their citizens by bringing this cruel industry to an end.
I know South Korea has many beautiful, admirable, and noble practices and customs worth preserving, but this is not one of them.
Thank you for your time and understanding.
No matter where you live, PLEASE SHARE these actions with your friends, especially those who live in Germany! 🙏
Share this:
PLEASE PLEASE–YOU ARE BETTER THAN THIS! DON’T LET THE WORLD THINK THAT YOU ARE IGNORANT AND SAVAGE!
grave faite la même chose aux éleveurs et à ceux a qui cela rapportent bcq d’argent et ceux qui font l export
Stop this cruelty against innocent Dogs and Cats immediatly. We don’t seek any contact to Nations and their peoples who do such cruelty crimes against poor animals.
If you need this to strengthen your perverted potency, stop fucking. If you can’t do without this atrocities to helpless and defensless animals.it would BE the best for all the world,
Just don’t fuck, eat vegan food, leave poor animals alone, let them be and the world will be a better place, without you all asian animal molesters.
Bundeskanzler Scholz, halten sie uns diese abartigen Teufel vom Halse, wir wollen und brauchen sie nicht. Wer Spass daran hat solche Misshandlungen an unschuldigen Tieren auszuüben,macht auch vor Menschen nicht halt. Google Suchmaschine: Guangxi Massaker, da können sie lernen, zu was diese Tierquäler fähig sind. Ersparen sie uns das, wir sind ihre Bürger und Wähler, beschützen sie uns und unsere Haustiere und Kinder vor diesen Monstern. Das ist ihre erste Pflicht.
HOW LONG will the WORLD watch unspeakable tortures inflicted on dogs and cats at South Korea’s dog-meat markets and do nothing about it. How can you talk about “peace” and “democracy” while shocking horrors are regularly committed on defenseless, loving and innocent animals in front of your eyes! Skinning dogs and cats alive, cooking them alive and other appalling tortures shall NOT BE SILENCED, but openly directed to the South-Korean President. We live in 2023 and this abomination must end!
Those who visit this COUNTRY of HORRORS have the obligation to scrutinize its shocking ways of animal abuse and TAKE ACTION!
