Until we extend our circle of compassion to all living things, humanity will not find peace. ~Albert Schweitzer
I cant believe that this evil still goes on. You must stop this cruel and horror to these animals. God did not create these animals for this sickening act. Please, finally put an end to this horror and sin.
Thank you,

Please, stop the cruelty with animals.
Cruelty to animals brings world shame to the Korean people, their culture and their cuisine. This cruelty is based on ignorance, greed and superstition. How can I care about Korea next time it has a disaster e.g. ferry, to cope with when I see that it tolerates cruelty??? At present, I prefer to boycott Korean exports as I do not want to contribute financially to what I regard as unethical and very bad karma. I encourage you to be very active in showing that Korea is a decent, progressive country with a compassionate population.
Thank you for organizing this. Keep up the good fight!

STOP THIS CRUELTY ON THESE ANIMALS!! ALL ANIMALS!!
Thanks to the internet, the world knows about your heinous disgusting vile, cruelty to Gods creatures for your stupid beliefs. If you truly believe that by inflicting such acts of torture on these poor defenceless animals and then eating them will enhance your sexuality or cure your ills, then you are truly devoid of any intelligence. The animals you inflict with this torture have more brains in their toenails than you do between the lot of you. Shame on Korea for your ignorance and stupidity and most of all your widkedness.
Be kind to these animals. They are our friends, they will lay down their lives for humans and what are your people doing to them is cruel, evil and without love.If the people change to make things better for these animals, the world become a better place for all humans and animals. PLEASE STOP THIS NOW!!!!!!!
require to stop killing animals!!!!!please!!!! 🙁
Please, stop the cruelty with animals!!!
Only sick and evil people commit any acts of animal cruelty anywhere. Why you think animal cruelty is acceptable I will never know. They are not meant to be meat!
Please stop the cruelty with animsls!
To carry on like this is to damn your own people into the misery they create by allowing them to torture cats and dogs because of an uneducated mess which transpires in Asia. When you eat tough animal meat you are generating carcinogenic digestive properties, pain and torture which is also giving Koreans the insight to believe that sadness and pain is a way of life. I Demand You Must STOP this Immediately to save your soul’s.
Dogs have feelings and emotions greater than ours in many respects. Love them as they love us.
PLEASE STOP THIS HORROR!!!!
La injusticia que cometen con esos Animales no tiene nombre, es un delito moral, un “crímen” permitido por el Estado. Quién les da derecho? Con que autoridad moral asesinan animales impunemente.. La mirada del hombre es reduccionista.. Sólo atiende a sus propios intereses. Espero que se pueda revertir este tipo de acciones y se les ponga un freno jurídico. Los asesinos van a existir siempre sean estos de animales humanos o no humanos.. Al menos con algunas leyes que respeten sus derechos, estos crímenes no van a estar normalizados
Please help dogs and cats! Don’t permet people eat them !
Many thanks!
The world is watching the world can see you all! You are known as dog torturers and that is it! I would be ashamed if I were you all! Become like the rest of the world and come down to 2016! You all are distgusting! Stop touching and killing my best friend and the worlds!!!
This is one of the most barbaric, cruelest thing I have ever seen and it needs to STOP
