Sister City Campaign – Suwon, South Korea – Phoenix, Arizona

Campaign updated on 3/22/2023.

Phoenix, Arizona: Tell Sister City, Suwon, 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.

Suwon became a Sister city to Phoenix, Arizona, on October 28, 2021.

Culture, art, high-end shops, and high-tech companies, including the headquarters for electronics giant Samsung, can all be found in Suwon. Regrettably, so can the dog meat restaurants and so-called ‘health centers,’ where horribly abused and brutally slaughtered dogs and cats are served as food and drinks.

In South Korea, there are countless dog 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, stabbing, 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 public and 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 Suwon’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 dozens of Health Centers and dog meat restaurants in the vicinity of Suwon.

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 Suwon to supply these outlets.

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

    Stop this depraved and barbaric murdering of animals. Animals are no different to us humans. They love, desire and fear just as we humans to. Anyone who thinks murdering animals is okay, is backward and should be locked up.
