President Yoon Suk-Yeol, end the horrific dog and cat meat consumption in South Korea now.
For the first time, South Korea has a President who lives with four dogs and three cats. Now, there is a new opportunity for our message to be heard by President Yoon Suk-Yeol’s government and bring about the changes we have been working so hard for. During his campaign, the President said he would end dog meat consumption through “social consensus.” But this method appears to be an excuse to delay any meaningful action; at this rate, it could take years or even decades!
We can’t afford to waste any time: file petitions, write, or email President Yoon and ask him to address the most urgent and widespread animal cruelty issue existing in South Korea today. Ask him to finally put a permanent end to dog and cat meat consumption and bring honor to his country and its citizens by having South Korea adhere to the standards other industrialized countries have set regarding animal welfare!

The Dog Meat Professionals-South Korea: https://koreandogs.org/dmp/I am extremely upset about the torture and consumption of companion animals in South Korea.
With the ubiquity of social media, we see shocking and heartbreaking images and videos of innocent dogs being tortured and killed in your country every day.
Even though Korea has established an Animal Protection Law for companion animals, dogs are still beaten, hung, electrocuted, and treated brutally by farmers and butchers. Also, dogs and cats are still being beaten and boiled alive for so-called elixirs, which do not have medical properties except in the minds of ignorant and gullible customers.
These practices have no place in the modern world. Other Asian countries have banned the eating of dog meat and the cruel industry that goes with it, such as Taiwan and the Philippines. Why does Korea persist in lagging behind these countries and other civilized societies?
It’s the responsibility of the Korean government to once and for all end the cruel dog meat and cat medicine industries in Korea. It is time to dismiss the childish myths and propaganda surrounding these industries and their vile products. It is time to leave behind backward and unnecessary traditions.
And it is time for Korea to start taking animal welfare seriously and show that it does have a compassionate and ethical society. That means it is time for the Korean government to better educate the public about the importance of spaying and neutering, not abandoning pets, and properly treating animals.
Until these things are done, Korea’s reputation in the international community will continue to suffer. Its citizens will continue to face shame and embarrassment. And Korea will continue to be regarded as the “third world” despite its modernization and attempts at globalized thinking.
Therefore, I ask that you do all in your power to stop this barbarism and cruelty immediately.
An online petition calling for your action in ending the horrendous dog and cat meat cruelty in South Korea is in progress: https://chng.it/KSnhcq6G.
From now on, I will boycott Korean products, and I will not support Korean companies or visit Korea until the abuse of cats and dogs has finally ended.
Yours sincerely,
Name, City, Country

저희는 대한민국에서는 반려동물을 고문하고 잡아먹는다는 사실을 알고 엄청난 충격을 받았습니다. 여러 통로의 소셜 미디어를 통해서 한국에 있는개들이 고문 당하고 죽임 당하는 끔찍하고 가슴 아픈 장면이 담긴 사진과 동영상을 매순간 접하고 있습니다. 다음의 동영상을 봐주시기 바랍니다.

http://www.fnnews.com/news/201808161908064387한국에 반려동물에 대한 동물보호법이 존재하지만, 그럼에도 불구하고 개농장 주인들과 도살업자들은 개들을 구타하고, 목 매달고, 감전 시키고, 잔인하게 취급하고 있습니다. 또 보약이라는 미명 하에 아직도 개와 고양이를 산채로 끓는 물에 집어넣고 있습니다. 아무런 의학적 효과가 증명된 바 없음에도 불구하고 무지하고 잘 속아넘어가는 사람들은 여전히 보신탕, 개소주, 고양이탕이 효험이 있다고 신봉하고 있습니다. 이러한 관습은 오늘날 어디에서도 찾아볼 수 없는 일입니다. 대만이나 필리핀 같은 다른 아시아 국가들은 이미 개고기와 개고기 관련 산업을 금지했습니다. 한국이 왜 이 나라들이나 다른 문명 사회보다 뒤처진 채로 남아있는지 이해할 수가 없습니다.
한국에서 이 잔인한 개고기 산업과 고양이탕 산업을 영원히 근절시키는 것은 대한민국 정부의 책임입니다. 이와 관련된 산업과 혐오식품을 둘러싼 어리석은 괴담과 주장을 떨쳐버릴 때입니다. 낙후되고 불필요한 전통은 과감히 버릴 때입니다. 그리고 동물복지 문제를 심각하게 받아들여서 한국 사회가 자비롭고 윤리적인 사회라는 것을 보여줄 때입니다. 이는 결국 한국 정부가 전국민을 상대로 반려동물 중성화의 중요성, 반려동물 유기 금지, 동물에 대한 적절한 취급에 대해 제대로 된 교육을 시작할 때라는 뜻입니다.
그렇지 않으면 한국은 국제사회에서 계속해서 나쁜 평판을 이어가게 될 것입니다. 한국 국민들 역시 수치와 곤란함을 겪게 될 겁니다. 한국이 근대화되었고 국제화된 사고를 도입하려 함에도 불구하고 여전히 “제3세계 후진국가”로 인식될 것입니다. 잔인한 관습인 개, 고양이 식용에 종지부를 찍을 수 있도록 온 힘을 다해주시기를 강력하게 요청드립니다.
저희는 대한민국의 잔인한 개식용, 고양이식용 종식을 촉구하는 청원을 진행 중입니다. https://chng.it/KSnhcq6G.
저는 개와 고양이에 대한 학대가 한국에서 완전히 사라지기 전까지 한국 제품을 구매하지 않을 것이고 한국 회사를 이용하거나 한국을 방문하지 않을 것입니다.

We recommend that the best way forward, when calling the President, is to politely ask to speak to a representative of the President. The representative may well deny all knowledge of any illegality/wrong doing within these trades, or say that they are unable to help on this issue. If they are not forthcoming, then you might make the following statement or similar wording of your own – and please ask them to keep a record of your call and what you have said.“As an animal lover, and part of a high-profile animal rights group, which has supporters across the globe, I wish to register my deep concern about the unregulated, cruel and abusive dog and cat meat trades with your country, South Korea.
I sincerely ask that your government immediately begins policing and enforcing your animal protection laws; and until it brings about a permanent end to both the dog and cat meat trades, I will boycott all forms of tourism, all products, and all services from South Korea; and I will urge others to do the same.”

The Dog Meat Professionals: South Korea https://koreandogs.org/dmp/
Je suis extrêmement bouleversé par la torture et la consommation d’animaux de compagnie en Corée du Sud.
Avec l’omniprésence des réseaux sociaux, nous voyons chaque jour des images et des vidéos choquantes et déchirantes de chiens innocents torturés et tués dans votre pays.
Même si la Corée a établi une loi sur la protection des animaux pour les animaux de compagnie, les chiens sont toujours battus, pendus, électrocutés et traités brutalement par les agriculteurs et les abatteurs. En outre, les chiens et les chats sont toujours battus et bouillis vifs pour des soi-disant élixirs, qui n’ont pas de propriétés médicales, sauf dans l’esprit des clients ignorants et crédules.
Ces pratiques n’ont pas leur place dans le monde moderne. D’autres pays asiatiques ont interdit la consommation de viande de chien et l’industrie cruelle qui va avec, comme Taiwan et les Philippines. Pourquoi la Corée persiste-t-elle à être à la traîne de ces pays et d’autres sociétés civilisées?
Il est de la responsabilité du gouvernement coréen de mettre fin une fois pour toutes aux industries cruelles de la viande de chien et de la médecine pour chats en Corée. Il est temps de rejeter les mythes enfantins et la propagande entourant ces industries et leurs produits ignobles. Il est temps de quitter les traditions arriérées et inutiles.
Et il est temps pour la Corée de commencer à prendre au sérieux le bien-être animal et de montrer qu’elle a vraiment une société compatissante et éthique. Cela signifie qu’il est temps que le gouvernement coréen commence à mieux éduquer le public sur l’importance de la stérilisation et de la stérilisation, de ne pas abandonner les animaux de compagnie et de traiter les animaux de manière appropriée.
Tant que ces choses ne seront pas faites, la réputation de la Corée au sein de la communauté internationale continuera de souffrir. Ses citoyens continueront d’être confrontés à la honte et à l’embarras. Et la Corée continuera d’être considérée comme un «tiers monde», malgré sa modernisation et ses tentatives de pensée mondialisée.
Par conséquent, je vous demande de faire tout ce qui est en votre pouvoir pour arrêter immédiatement cette barbarie et cette cruauté.
Désormais, je boycotterai les produits coréens, et je ne soutiendrai pas les entreprises coréennes et je ne visiterai pas la Corée tant que les abus contre les chats et les chiens n’auront pas finalement pris fin.
Cordialement,
My wish is the people responsible for this meet the same fate of the innocent animals
Will it ever end? South Korea is the shame of the world. These industrialized dogs farms are atrocious and inhumane. Anyone who participates in this evil trade will be damned for all eternity. God is watching you.
Needs to STOP!!!!NO EXCUSES EYE FOR AN EYE!!!!!GODS ANGELS ON EARTH THESE PEOPLE ARE POOR EXCUSESFOR HUMANS!!!!!
HELL IS AWAITING YOU DEMONS YOUR JUDGEMENT DAY IS COMING
BURN IN HELL
Help
President Yoon: You must.see that the cruel, savage behavior of “farming” and consuming dogs and cats ends In Korea, with ALL DELIBERATE SPEED!!! Korea’s ranking as a civilized nation depends upon accomplishing this goal, sooner rather than later.
Stop this madness
This sadly makes S. Korea a lot more like China than I am comfortable with. Certainly makes me hesitant to buy Korean made products, only after ensuring I can not buy from another country
Please please please end this wicked, evil practice NOW!
There is no act so vile as that of animal cruelty. Animals are completely at the mercy of mankind and they are shown little of that.
Our horrendous disregard for the wellbeing of animals presupposes that their lives are somehow less valuable than our own. We seem to be under the misguided belief that we are the superior species and that for some reason it gives us the right to capture, use, torture & kill animals how we see fit. We see examples of this horrendous cruelty in the meat & dairy industry, the fashion industry, the entertainment industry and, of course, in scientific research just to name a few. Considering that no other species on earth has done as much damage to this planet and every living creature on it than our own, one could argue that far from being the superior species, the human race is actually quite the opposite. Our ungodly behaviour thus far has been absolutely disgraceful.
How can we have the nerve to call ourselves a civilised society if we continue to condone this horrific treatment animals?
Anyone with companion animals can attest that animals possess a wealth of emotions much like our own. Just as they feel love & happiness, they most certainly have the capacity to feel depression, fear and pain. For this very reason animals should not be treated as commodities to use, torture or murder at will.
It’s time the laws reflected that.
Please, file the petition with the South Korean government through e-People online !!
Do it every day!!
South Korea!!!! Karma is a bitch & she is coming, hope you get the same treatment you brutal/ cruel arrogant, arseholes.
Stop kiling dogs and cats cruel.
