Jeongeup, South Korea: Shut down the illegal dog farms!
전라북도 정읍시 불법 개농장 행정처분 시행과 즉각적인 폐쇄를 강력히 촉구합니다.

👎🏼 The Ministry of Environment will do nothing to shut down these illegal dog farms. It will continue to allow the torture of helpless animals by feeding them rotten, molded, and germ-infested kimchi full of red chili peppers, ginger and garlic!

📌 Please note: The South Korean government continues to deceive us with lies and excuses. Click HERE to learn more.

result 1. Greetings! Please note that the inquiry you posted on e-People (1AA-2110-1288734) has been designated as a “Multi-department inquiry,” and hereunder is the reply of the Ministry of Environment:

1) Request for administrative action for an unlicensed dog farm as per the Act on the Management and Use of Livestock Excreta

– Please note that, as per Article 11 of the Act on the Management and Use of Livestock Excreta, we are enhancing control of any illegal facility without appropriate facility for discharging waste by imposing administrative action such as order for shutdown or suspension of access.
– Facilities with license or registration will be subject to control and investigation to ensure compliance with all the relevant laws and regulations. Those that illegally dump or neglect livestock excreta will be ordered to prevent pollution or punished (criminal charge) as per Article 10 of the Act on the Management and Use of Livestock Excreta to minimize adverse effects on the surroundings.

2) Request administrative action for using food waste as dog feed

– Facilities using food waste as dog feed are required to obtain a corresponding license or register with the local government as per Articles 25 (Business of Food Waste Treatment) and 46 (Reporting of Waste Treatment) of the Wastes Control Act while complying with the criteria for recycling/reusing waste as per Clause 2, Article 13 of said law (Principles and Instructions for Reusing Waste).
– In addition, facilities or businesses treating waste or those with license to treat waste are subject to control and investigation by the head of the local governments as per the 「Regulations on Integrated Guidance and Investigation for Facilities Discharging Pollutants」; thus, you can freely report any facility that illegally treats food waste without due license to the corresponding local government with specific information and details on the facility/business.

2. We hope the foregoing is a satisfactory reply. For further assistance, please feel free to contact the following at the Ministry of Environment: Officer Woo Je-Hwan at the Dept. of Water Policy (☏044-201-7006), Officer at the Dept. of Waste Resource and Energy (☏044-201-7403) for further information on food waste. Thank you.
