Seoul, South Korea, Shut down the illegal dog meat farms, slaughterhouses, and markets.

Campaign updated on 7/16/2022.

If you want to help fight the grisly South Korean dog and cat meat trade and make a difference in South Korea, here are a few quick actions you can take that could save millions of dogs and cats each year.

In Seoul, there are countless dog farms, slaughterhouses, markets, and restaurants where the dogs, who have been tortured their entire lives, end up being slaughtered in the most inhumane ways, such as by electrocution, hanging, or beating; and then thrown into boiling water – sometimes while they are still alive. In many places, dogs are being killed in full view of other terrified, caged dogs; and this takes place in broad daylight. In addition, many abandoned and stolen former pets end up in this industry and are subject to the same cruelty.

A Search Engine reveals the sickening scale of Seoul’s dog meat demand.

Two search results on Naver (the most popular search engine in Korea), for the so-called “Health Center,” which commonly sells dog elixirs and cat elixirs (also known as dog soju and cat soju) and for “dog meat restaurants” found hundreds of Health Centers and dog meat restaurants in the vicinity of Seoul.

Even if half of these ‘Health’ Centers and restaurants serve dog and cat ‘ingredients’ in one form or another, imagine how many dog/cat slaughterhouses must be present in the vicinity of Seoul to supply these outlets.

There are laws in South Korea against selling dogs and cats for consumption, yet these laws are blatantly ignored.

Call for Action

    it is morally unacceptable for South Korea to support the enormous suffering of dogs and cats that are brutally killed, have no good living conditions. The only solution is for the government to take responsibility for it and take steps to stop such cruelty.

    This is horrendous. The whole planet knows that dogs/cats are man’s best friends. These loving animals are the inspiration for people to become vegans. So please don’t come with the pathetic “cultural difference” excuse. A country that enjoys the torture of dogs/cats simply accepts cruelty to all animals as normal. We want the extreme opposite. Using people’s love for dogs/cats to stop eating all animals and go vegan.

    Please stop your shameful atrocities, South Korea. I am boycotting your companies (Samsung, Hyundai, LG, Kia Motors) until you ban it forever.

    For thousands of years man has bred dogs to be man’s loyal companion. What kind of barbaric ignorant people would do this to them? I or my family will not purchase anything made in South Korea or China as in Kia, Hyundai, LG, Samsung and others as long as dogs are treated in this way. If it’s made in an evil backward dog eating country don’t buy it. There are plenty of other more civilized nations.

    Dogs around the world are loving, caring souls. They love unconditionally. I have seen these loyal animals wagging their tails as they are being thrust into the hands of meat traders and very stupid people who want to take them home as dinner. These dogs TRUST us. Why would you want to kill an amimal who loves and trusts humans? South Korea, Vietnam and China really need to step up to the mark. I, for one would he happy to boycott products from these barbaric countries until something is done about the torture stealing, greed and pure violence towards these animals!

    Boycott products made in S. Korea and China!!! We consumers everywhere need to boycott anything made in these Asian countries until the governments put an end to allowing this torture and abuse of innocent animals. The subhumans who torture and kill the innocent animals are the ones who should be locked up in cages! It’s time for Asian countries to join the civilized world and stop allowing this cruel, inhumane, abusive treatment of innocent animals!

    Come on Korea! You are a respected nation in the world and world class in so many things yet your country is totally shamed by the sadistic torture of animals but especially dogs who were domesticated by man and trusted us and now clearly utterly betrayed, I believe that not too long in the future mankind will look back on these abhorrent practices and will be shocked that Korea and other places could routinely inflict such fear, pain and suffering. The world can only change because of powerful people and in this case this is you, surely you can see this is wrong wrong wrong! Their only hope for a better life is by powerful people like you making this happen….please, I implore you, save them 🙏🏼

    This is horrific. That it is still being allowed to continue. Innocent Animals are being slaughtered for human consumption. Dogs and cats were not put on this earth to be tortured and abused and killed. They were not out on this earth for human consumption. It is barbaric and it is illegal. The Korean Government know this, yet they still allowing the brutal MURDER of poor defenseless Animals to continue in there Country. Shame on you. How do you sleep at night, knowing what you are allowing to go in in your country is evil, disgusting and barbaric. Poor innocent Animals are being brutally killed for human consumption. You are very evil and corruption to allow this to carry on un your country. Go to he’ll you evil Government people. You are as corrupt as those brutally killing these poor defenseless Animals. You totally disgust me. This is illegal. You stupid ignorant people.
