Sister City Campaign – Daegu, South Korea
Mayor Kasim Reed of Atlanta, Mayor Kazumi Matsui of Hiroshima, and Mayor Wen-Je Ko of Taipei: Tell Sister City, Daegu, South Korea, That We’re Opposed to the Torture and Consumption of Dogs and Cats.
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.
Daegu Chilseong Dog Meat Market
Daegu Mayor Young-Jin Kwon
Daegu became sister city with Atlanta in 1981, Hiroshima in 1997, and Taipei in 2010. Yet Daegu, South Korea is responsible for the horrendous dog and cat meat trade.
In South Korea, the home of global companies such as Hyundai/Kia, Samsung, LG, Daewoo, SK, POSCO,…, an estimated 2.5 million dogs are tortured and slaughtered every year because of the greed of dog eaters and the dog meat industry. And one of the largest markets in South Korea that sells dogs dead and alive for meat is the infamous “Chilseong Market” in Daegu Metropolitan City. If you have ever wondered what a hell would be like, click HERE to see photos from the Daegu Chilseong Dog Meat Market or click HERE to see undercover video from Daegu dog farms/slaughterhouses.
Daegu Chilseong Market is a “Hell on Earth” with defenseless man’s best friends in cages after cages waiting for the heartless customers to order them to be slaughtered on the spot by electrocution, hanging, beating,…and thrown into boiling water sometimes while they are still alive. Dogs are being killed in full view of other dogs terrified in cages, in public, and in broad daylight.
There are laws in South Korea against selling dogs and cats for consumption, yet these laws are blatantly ignored.

Alle verantwortlichen Folterknechte, Tierschänder und bestialischen Killer sollten alle an den Galgen gehängt werden, nacheinander mit Namen der Verbrecher. Das wäre eine gerechte Strafe und aufgeknüpft am Galgen können diese Bastarde nie mehr Tiere foltern und töten. Südkorea müsste
eigentlich von der Map verschwinden!
