Seoul Gangseo-gu District’s response to our petition on e-People
Below is Seoul Gangseo-gu District’s response to our petition: Seoul Gangseo-gu, South Korea, Shut down the illegal dog meat farms, slaughterhouses and markets. This response is a typical one from Korean government, which states; basically that they will do nothing, and they can do nothing, about the dog and cat meat industry and its inherent cruelty.
Please take action and send your petition through e-People today. If they have to address and respond to hundreds, thousands or hundreds of thousands of petitions on this issue; then perhaps they will finally be put under enough pressure to take action to bring this horrific animal cruelty to an end.
Our campaign is still effective because now they are aware that the eyes of the world are watching what’s going on in their county’s dog meat industry. Let’s keep up the pressure by taking action!
Below is our comments on the satisfaction survey regarding their response:
We are not satisfied with the response to our petition, due to the following key reasons:
it fails to substantiate and evidence what direct actions the Seoul Gangseo-gu District is taking to enforce existing laws to disrupt the entrenched dog meat trade in South Korea. We have not been provided, in this response, with any evidence of any direct actions taken by the Seoul Gangseo-gu District, such as recorded information relating to inspections, monitoring and actual enforcement action taken against violators, in relation to dog meat farming, slaughterhouses and businesses selling dog meat and dog meat products (such as dog elixir and dog soju);
it fails to show what actions the Seoul Gangseo-gu District is taking with regard to proposing amendments to existing legislation or bringing in new legislation to address and end the dog and cat meat trade, and
it fails to formally acknowledge the existence of the illicit dog and cat meat trade within South Korea and the problems this poses to human health, animal welfare and organized crime, which has been widely documented by both domestic and international NGO’s and animal charities (and has also been raised as an international area of concern by many western governments with South Korea and its diplomatic missions).
Below is response Francie received from the Seoul Gangseo-gu District. Thank you, Francie for taking actions for the Korean dogs!!

Most of humanity did not come out of the Middle Ages and consists of retarded souls that are blacker that night. The one who mocks animals are people only by sight. Inside are Demons. Because of those sadists and murders of animals our Planet become a Real HELL. I’m a woman, but I sit in the same cages as the poor animals, burned alive with fire and cut into small pieces by the same knife together with mutilated animals. Korean Demons! THANKS FOR MY PERSONALITY SPIRITUAL HALL, which the good people have because of your Monstrous Acts!
Yr country is beyond belief. Your disgusting trade has been exposed to the world. You should be ashamed. We will boycott yr horrible country
Anyone who eats dogs or cats or any animal as far as that is concerned, are savages with shallow empty ugly hearts! Those who kill an animal with vile disgusting cruelty are the lowest form of scum on Earth and should be flushed down the sewer system. That includes all factory farmers of all factory farmed animals. A pig, cow, sheep, goat, camel, donkey suffer the same amount of stress and pain as dogs and cats, no animal wants to die for your selfish palate choices. The evidence for a full plant based diet as being the healthiest for the consumer as well as Mother Earth cannot be denied any longer. Those who chose to eat meat and or dairy products or eggs are selfish shallow empty soulless people. Same as wearing their skin which they cannot live without but you can. Just another selfish choice you made
