Petition to the South Korean Supreme Prosecutor’s Office
We received the below response from the South Korean Supreme Prosecutor’s Office.

Below is our response and petition to the South Korean Supreme Prosecutor’s Office’s response.
In response to the petition letter we sent to the Supreme Prosecutors’ Office regarding the horrific violation of the Animal Protection Law that the illegal dog and cat meat industry commits, the response we received was beyond insufficient and unsatisfactory.
According to your website, your Mission Statement is “the establishment of law and order” and “Enforcing the law in a fair and consistent manner…. All staff of the Prosecution Service will spare no efforts for Righteous Prosecution Service for the Nation.”
Your organization was presented with facts, video evidence and witness testimonials regarding the rampant dog and cat meat industry in South Korea, an illegal trade that openly defies a law that your organization is bound to uphold and enforce.
In accordance with your mission we turned to you in order to secure justice and lawfulness in this matter, and this was your response:
“It will be committed to law enforcement to raise national awareness on protection of animal life and prevention of cruelty to animals.”
We are not asking just for raised awareness, we are asking for justice! We are asking you and your staff to do the job you vowed to do, and prosecute those who willfully break your laws and commit heinous crimes against domestic animals. We are asking you to do your job, and at the very least initiate an investigation into this illegal industry.
You state in your letter that:
“The ROK(Republic of Korea) has enforced the “Animal Protection Act” since July 1st, 1991 to protect and manage animals appropriately, and provide necessary measures for the prevention of cruelty to animals, thereby develop national ethos, such as respect for the life of animals.”
Answer me this, how and in what ways have you “enforced” this law? What measures have you taken to eradicate this trade? You purposefully turn a blind eye as millions of domestic animals are not only killed in your country, but purchased by a steady demand of your citizens. There is no way with all the evidence collected that you can deny this horrible fact.
Yet even when presented with this, you do nothing. When you have the power and honorable duty to uphold the law, you shamefully look away. The absence of morality and ethics ROK has shown regarding this matter is disheartening and disgraceful. If you, who are charged to uphold the law in South Korea fail do so, who else will? Please, we ask that you take a second look at this and investigate further into the blatant illegalities that are being committed daily in this trade, and the unimaginable suffering it inflicts on those you have vowed to protect.
Sincerely,
[Your name and country]

I will never buy knowingly or otherwise anything from that murdering country while they are still in the dark ages
Horrible uncivilized, uneducated people! That’s why I feel absolutely nothing when karma hits out at these countries. I personally would never visit any of them or buy any products from those areas. I do however feel sympathy for the activists in those countries that fight very hard every day against this horrific evil practice.
May the gods of all the animals curse these inhumans forever. May they too die horribly tasting their own blood.
there needs to be education in south korea and other asian countries about animals being sentient beings or this will never end. it is incredible that human beings can do this to another being and think its ok.
Exactly ! A public awareness campaign perhaps !

SOUTH KOREA, THE GREATNESS OF A NATION AND ITS MORAL PROGRESS CAN BE JUDGED BY THE WAY ITS ANIMALS ARE TREATED. M. Gandhi..

I’m with you!

GO TO PSYCOLOGISTS AND HAVE THEIR BRAINS
GOOGLE IS JUMPING AROUND… AS ABOVE THE PSYCHOPATHS MUST HAVE THEIR BRAINS CLEANSED FROM ALL THE
MENTAL BRAIN CONTROL THEY MUST HAVE RECEIVED SINCE CHILHOOD WITH ANIMAL TORTURE AND HUMAN TORTURE

A cruel, evil and corrupt government.
Barbaric, horrifying, cruel…..I am beyond horrified and disgusting with the way the treatment of animals in your country is allowed….this needs to END NOW….STOP, STOP, STOP!!!!
PLEASE HAVE COMPASSION AND TREAT GOD’S CREATURES WITH RESPECT AND KINDNESS. IT IS ONLY THE COWARDLY THAT TORTURE, HURT, MAME & KILL THE INNOCENT AND DEFENSELESS. THERE ARE HUMANE WAYS TO SLAUGHTER FOOD SOURCES AND THESE METHODS ARE “NOT” IT!!
In a nation that strives to be a “world power,” the fact its citizens resort to eating animals that are otherwise considered “pets” around the rest of the world proves the country’s economy and its politicians are pathetic and not deserving of world respect. These heinous acts must be stopped and stopped now. Otherwise, all of South Korea and it’s people deserve the “SHAME” with which the ENTIRE WORLD views it because it has so rightly claimed that distinction.
If you continue to torture and kill animals you will bring bad Karma on yourselves and your country and you will deserve every bit of it. PLEASE STOP THIS NOW!
You are a satanic devil. Repent before it’s too late. Those animals have just as much right to live as you. Your torture is the cruelest treatment of all. How can you do this with a clear concience. Your soul has been blackened by the devil. Laugh now, but you won’t be laughing in the end. Boycotting all Korean products. They’re junk. Never again. I read labels. You smell like sulfur burning. It’s your soul.
STOP this ABOMINATION! SHAME,SHAME On Korean criminals!!!! And SHAME on their government who is silent!!! BOYCOTT S KOREA and their OLympics!
To be vegan or vegetarian is the only way to eradicate this kind of abuse.All animals deserve human respect.They are not here for our desires.

“We are boycotting Korea until it OUTLAWS AND TRULY *ENDS* its horrific DOG AND CAT MEAT INDUSTRY
The barbaric dog and cat meat trade in your country is a disgrace. When will you ENFORCE laws outlawing the horrific, inhumane and primitive practices of the dog & cat meat trade?
The world is watching.
Vicious and cruel crimes against beloved pets are committed in your country.
Your nation should put these criminals in jail. (Animal lovers in other nations can help you find loving homes for these poor animals.)
Why are you ignoring this problem? Don’t you want the world to respect your nation?
Millions of horrified animal lovers all over the world see Asia’s vile crimes against innocent, helpless animals! We see you, Asia. The world hates your barbaric cruelty toward innocent animals!
Please help end the cruel and gruesome dog and cat meat trade in your home country of S. Korea.
Animal lovers all over the world will be boycotting S. Korea until then.

해당 국가의 야만적 인 개와 고양이 고기 무역은 치욕이다. 때 당신은 개 및 고양이 고기 무역, 무서운 비인간적과 원시적 인 관행을 금지하는 법률을 적용 할 것인가?
세계가 지켜보고있다.
사랑하는 애완 동물에 대한 나쁜하고 잔인한 범죄는 국가에 최선을 다하고 있습니다.
당신의 나라는 감옥에 이러한 범죄자를 넣어해야합니다. (다른 나라에서 동물 애호가는이 불쌍한 동물을위한 사랑의 가정을 찾을 수 있습니다.)
왜이 문제를 무시하고? 당신은 세상이 당신의 국가를 존중 싶지 않아?
전 세계 겁에 질린 동물 애호가의 수백만은 인터넷에 무고한, 무력한 동물에 대한 아시아의 사악한 범죄를 참조하십시오! 우리는 아시아를 참조하십시오. 세상은 죄없는 동물을 향한 당신의 야만적 인 잔인 함을 싫어!
대한민국의 모국에서 잔인하고 소름 끼치는 개와 고양이 고기 거래를 종료하시기 바랍니다.
우리는 그때까지 대한민국을 보이콧 할 것이다.
진심으로,
Korea and China have shameful reputation always wondered why? Now I know! Barbaric people! You are not part of our world you are part of Hell! Stop the killings burning skinning of these beautiful dogs!! My kids and young generation of the world hate your country and would never visit. Pathetic nation country should be blown off the face of this earth!
You onviously see that dogs are considered man’s best friend in most other countries around the world. And even by some people in your country! How can you let this disgusting tradition continue, knowing that dogs are used to sniff out cancer, or help the blind see? Or are used as emotional support and service dogs? South Korea will never be looked at as a modern sophisticated city as long as you let your people commit these vile acts. I will also never buy anything from your country again as long as you allow this torture to continue. The word is spreading and the world is watching…..
Only stupid, ignorant savages would treat animals like that & dogs are our best friends & members of our family. We will never visit your country or buy anything made there as long as your people act like barbarians. It’s beyond disgusting to civilized people.
The tortuous killing and consuming of companion animals is, in itself, totally unacceptable to civilized and modern society. I cannot believe that, in this day and age of ‘progress’, there are still such primitive ideologies that believe that the more you hurt an animal, the better it’s meat will taste!!! How absolutely disgusting and cruel!!!
K-POP TREATED LIKE DOLLY BIRDS AND DOG MEAT – HOW STUPID CAN BACKWARD CAN YOU GET? THEY THINK THEY ARE A CIVILISED COUNTRY HA HAHAHAHA
I am left empty. My grief is total. All I am left with is utter contempt for the people using such barbarity to these loving creatures. And no government has the balls to make an official complaint
Just appalled and horrified at this barbaric cruelty and savagery.
“The greatness of a nation and its moral progress can be judged by the way its animals are treated.” ― Mahatma Gandhi
STOP this horrendous and shameful cruelty to these noble and innocent animals. Korean people must wake up now and show some humanity, or they will never be forgiven by other countries.
As in anything else without the food industry,,, at the VERY LEAST,,, humane euthanization…Hanging alive, bludgeoning, burning alive, etc. IS INHUMANE.
Be human, stop the cruelty !
This is so evil!!! They must be punished! Korea people must learn that is immoral and cruel
I am completely disgusted by your lack of morals with your animals! Animals deserve rights too! Stop torturing and eating companion animals! DOGS R FAMILY NOT FOOD! STOP BETRAYING MAN’S BEST FRIEND! STOP THE TORTURE! SHAME ON SOUTH KOREA!
We will never give up – we will keep on shouting at the top of our voices telling the world Korea is a country of heathens – their government have no heart – show no morality – turn a blind eye to the heinous acts of cruelty – their leaders are weak and do not uphold their own laws to protect dogs and cats – KOREA = EVIL – I HAVE BOYCOTTED SAMSUNG AND WILL AVOID EVERYTHING MADE IN YOUR EVIL COUNTRY.
The only way to stop this barbaric and evil way these people treat dogs and cats is to stop visiting their country ,buying their goods and most of all stop buying their cars You see how fast it would stop then The trouble is getting this out to people across the world and and have them all follow the same
Stop the madness people! I can’t believe you allow this to continue to happen! Boycott
This grotesque cruelty makes your country and people appear depraved and inhuman.
Please do not allow this atrocity to happen any longer! As someone who is half-Korean it breaks my heart to see this is actually allowed to take place! This barbaric practice has NO place in this world let alone this century! Please make this stop, and lift the dark cloud that is the evil dog/cat meat trade off of your country, my home country. Turn the shame that the world feels for you, and turn it into respect and thankfulness for doing the right thing, and stopping something that has been long overdue!! Please and many thanks!!
Cruel act!!! What goes around will come back around. Karma!!!!
This is totally intolerable! You must stop these barbaric actions NOW. How do you think the world views you as a whole to tolerate let alone permit this gross ignorance!
I am not buying any product from Korea now. I know you for people who do not care about animals. People who have no compassion or even thoughts of kindness towards animals. To torture and cook alive animals that are then consumed by the uncaring population is unbelievable. You deserve the scorn of the rest of the world. You deserve to be boycotted and to be friendless in the world. You are an nation of MONSTERS doing things only in our nightmares. SHAME AND DISGRACE TO YOU ALL WHO HARM THESE POOR ANIMALS!!! Karma
People should actually boycott any product coming from China and Korea. These countries only understand money and if they realize people no longer want their products they will stop! These countries are known for being experts in torture to animal-people and animals during decades. On the other hand I wish you would all stop being hypocrites, how about you all stop eating animals all together, including pigs, chickens, cows, etc. All animals deserve respect and a long loving life. You do not fix a problem from the top but from the root! Stop being spiciest!
Cruel! Barbaric! Disgusting! What kind of country allows animals to be treated in this way?
This barbaric behavior is going back to the dark ages not a behavior a supposedly civilised country would allow. I agree that the main way of putting pressure on is letting the rest of the world know whats going on and stop buying their goods and visiting their countries. I for one was planning to go to Vietnam but not anymore.
Unacceptable. I hope everyone boycotts countries that treats animals this way.
I want the perpetrators to be treated the same way as they treat these animals.
It is very difficult to understand that cowards like these people and corrupted government (to this point of corruption, animals!!!!….) exists in this day and age. Most countries have come to protect dogs, cats, and most animals, but not this Nation. Nation of uneducated creed driven (I have so much anger right now that I have to stop describing these people) creatures. I hope one day they start eating each other cure hallow mind syndrome.
You would hope people would be evolved as humans than to treat animals in suck a grotesque manner. Ignorance! You have to take putty on such soulless being.
You have a law (Animal Protection Act) in place to protect animals, but you prefer to look the other way. Do you approve ILLEGAL activities in your country?? I will never visit South Korea until you protect your animals according to your law. I don’t support Barbaric acts / anything illegal and you should do the same. Thanks for reading this.
All dogs need to be removed from that country and the country blown off the universe.
Move into the 21st century why don’t you?!! The world is watching ….. in disgust!
THEY NEED TO DIE THE PPL THAT EAT DOGS N CATS R VERY SICK
If I could, I would go to these countries and take every last one of these poor cats and dogs, and make damn sure NONE are left behind for you people to breed!!!! I would make damn sure that they are safe!!! How would like it if YOU was treated this way?! Well just know that the poor animals feel the exact same!!!! They have hearts, bones, etc. Just like humans, the only difference is they can’t talk like us. They DO HAVE FEELINGS!!! I would love to rescue all of them!!!!! You are all nothing but heartless savages that deserves to be beaten and treated like you treat them!!!! My biggest dream is to go to the countries that do this and rescue these “babies”. That’s what I call my 3 dogs. Because they are babies. If anyone tried this shit with mine, I would hurt them bad!!! God put them on earth for us to love and nurture them. NOT TO EAT!!!!
I do not want our military defending these sick bastards…
Don’t you people have a heart or feelings!!!
They will only learn if everyone completely boycotts them and everything they sell. This is NOT acceptable by anyone in 2016.
Maybe some eat specifically bred animals but civilised westerners are monitored and humane methods are generally adhered to. This isn’t necessarily right however methods used in SE Asian countries are wholly unacceptable. Maybe they should be held accountable for the “forgotten” WAR CRIMES!!!
You are all ignorant animals yourselves your race hasn’t evolved to the rest of the world. How would torture little animals? Only beasts and stupid people with no fkn brains… I hate you all you are responsible for my haunting of seeing these beautiful animals suffering and you are responsible for making all the world feel like shit everyday when they know what goes on in your putread country that I my kids friends will every step foot into.
This is horrific! The act of soulless monsters! Karma never forgets. Stop these barbaric acts now!
Please stop
I hope people wouldn’t stereotype Korea as heartless pet eating country. Most of the dog meat petitions are led by Koreans and most of Koreans hate dog meat. I truly tell you that dog meat production is outlawed in Korea. No dog meat trade is allowed under Korean law. It’s not an industry but a black market for older folks. It’s the same situation as how witchcraft is outlawed but not banned in Korea. I don’t like those people who allow animal cruelty and I sign for petitions. But if you want to blame the freedom of exotic meat consumption, you should also blame how fashion industry enjoys freedom of exotic animal skin and leather good sales. Whoever pays for the animal cruelty should be condemned.
I don’t want this!
No dog slaughter
No animal abuse
I will boycott any good from your country. & the Olympic games & encourage everyone else to every time I can. The only thing you people understand is money greed & selfish heartless behaviour. Dogs are one of the best thing a human has in their life, but your too heartless to understand this. I will never support any thing to do with your country until this stops. Hang your heads in shame !!!
What you go e is what you get. Burn, hang, and torture them , see how they like it.
