Sister City Campaign – Seoul, South Korea – Washington, DC

Campaign updated on 2/28/2023.

Washington, DC Mayor Muriel Bowser: Tell Sister City Seoul, South Korea, you oppose 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.

Seoul became a Sister City to Washington, DC, in 2006.

In Seoul, there are numerous 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 searches on Naver (the most popular search engine in Korea) – one was for so-called “Health Centers,” which commonly sell dog elixirs and cat elixirs (also known as dog soju and cat soju), and the second one was for “dog meat restaurants” – resulted in many hundreds of Health Centers and dog meat restaurants in 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 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.

    Human demons at work. Dogs, cats are not meant to be eaten nor is any animal meant to suffer at the hands of human beings. Animals belong to the God who made them and these monsters at the top levels who allow such suffering will one day, be held to account for such abominations and murder. Stop this horror before you reap, what you people, have sown.

    Alle, die an diesen unfassbaren Greueltaten beteiligt sind, kann man nicht als Menschen bezeichnen. Es sind Bestien in Menschengestalt! Von der Züchtung, dem Transport. der brutalen Behandlung und noch grausameren Tötung, alles mafiöse Machenschaften. Für mich ist die Untätigkeit der Regierung bzw. deren zuständigen Beamten ausschlaggebend dafür, dass diese verantwortungslosen, mittelalterlichen Überlieferungen im 21.Jahrhundert immer noch an der Tagesordnung sind. Es iost eine Schande, wie sie nicht größer sein könnte, denn das Land zeigt sich fortschrittlich in Sachen Technik, jedoch in Sachen Tierschutz total rückständig und verantwortungslos. Ich fordere die Regierung auf, endlich tätig zu werden, entsprechende Gesetze zum Schutz hilfloser Mitgeschöpfe, deren Einhaltung, also strenge Überwachung und Verstöße gegen die Gesetze hart geahndet werden. Moralisch/ethisches Handeln, Verantwortung und Mitgefühl für Tiere sucht man hier vergeblich. Alle Menschen, die an diesem Geschäft beteiligt sind, sind verroht, gefühllos und verantwortungslos in hohem Maße. Wer hilflose Tiere so grausam und brutal behandelt und tötet, verhä#lt sich Menschen egegenüber genau so!
