Sister State Campaign – Gyeonggi Province, South Korea – Florida
Florida Governor Ron DeSantis: Tell your Sister State, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, that you are 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.
Gyeonggi-do Governor Lee Jae-Myung
Gyeonggi Province became a Sister State with Florida in 2000.
In Gyeonggi province, there are countless dog farms, slaughterhouses, markets, and restaurants where the dogs, who are 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 Gyeonggi Province’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 thousands of Health Centers and dog meat restaurants in Gyeonggi Province.
Even if half of these ‘Health’ Food 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 Gyeonggi Province to supply all of these outlets.
There are laws in South Korea against selling dogs and cats for consumption, yet these laws are blatantly ignored.

Subject: Florida Governor Ron DeSantis: Tell your Sister State, Gyeonggi Province, South Korea, that you are opposed to the torture and consumption of dogs and cats.
Dear Governor Ron DeSantis:
We ask you to please watch the undercover videos from South Korea’s dog meat industry:

Do you think Florida should be a Sister State to any State that allows dogs and cats to be tortured and eaten by people?
Gyeonggi Province is the largest dog meat supplier and consumption province in South Korea. There are thousands of dog farms, dog slaughterhouses, dog meat restaurants, and so-called “Health Centers” where they serve soup made of dog meat as an elixir. Dogs suffer their entire lives in filthy, feces encrusted raised wire cages in utter misery only to be slaughtered in the most horrific ways. They are killed by electrocution, hammer strikes to their head and necks, being hung, being beaten to death, having their throats slit, being burned alive with a blowtorch, or thrown into a vat of boiling water while still alive. In many places in Gyeonggi Province, dogs are killed in full view of other terrified, caged dogs who tremble with terror. In addition, very often people’s beloved pets are stolen and sold to these businesses where they meet the same horrific fate. Dogs and puppies who died of diseases are tossed away like garbage, often left in front of cages to rot while the mother dogs watch and cry out in despair for their dead babies.
The Korean internet searches resulted in thousands of Health Centers which commonly sell dog/cat elixirs (also known as dog soju and cat soju) and dog meat restaurants in Gyeonggi Province.
Would you please urge Gyeonggi Province Governor Lee Jae-Myung to close down all illegal dog farms and slaughterhouses, markets, truckers, and restaurants that serve their products? An online petition calling for your support in ending the horrendous dog and cat meat cruelty in Gyeonggi Province is in progress: https://chng.it/tJZfW6wg.
On behalf of all the animals suffering unimaginable cruelty in the dog and cat meat industry, we thank you in advance and await your reply.
Sincerely,
Hello, I’m calling to speak to someone in the Governor’s Office to ask for their help on an important issue regarding your Sister State, Gyeonggi Province in South Korea.
If I could explain: Dog-meat consumption is currently being practiced in that province, even though it is illegal under South Korean Law – but the laws are not enforced. The dog and cat meat trades involve extreme and widespread animal cruelty, and the animals suffer unimaginable pain and distress. They cannot speak for themselves, which is why I am calling on their behalf. And, I believe that your State would wish to be made aware of this issue, as you would not want to affiliate with a province where illegal and immoral torture is being carried out on any animal, and particularly not on ones that are loyal, trusting creatures, which look up to us humans as their guardians.
This illegal industry is being allowed to continue by Gyeonggi Province authorities – even though there is growing opposition from pet owners across South Korea and worldwide.
So, I am asking you to please speak with your counterparts in Gyeonggi Province to urge them to enforce their laws, not ignore them, show compassion to their companion animals, and respect their citizens by bringing this cruel industry to an end.
I know that South Korea has many beautiful, admirable, and noble practices and customs worth preserving, but this is not one of them.
Thank you for your time and understanding.
No matter where you live, PLEASE SHARE these actions with your friends, especially those who live in Florida! 🙏

DUSGUSTING !DOGS ARE MAN’S BEST FRIEND. TO SLAUGHTER THESE DOGS/CATS ETC.

I feel that the way these poor dogs are treated in these meat farms is beyond atrocious. They are fed garbage/trash to eat and barely survive from the looks, of how these dogs are, Their body condition. to throw Them crammed full, in small cages, even the big breed ones, is so awful. then unloading Them. thrown off the truck and poor dogs do not know what is happening. just fear. when They start to torture cruelly to death one dog, then the other dogs all kno. for They can see and sense, and smell the blood. Then up till Their time, thye lay, sit, stuffed full, hardly able to breathe, wait Their turn to die in the most horrid way. electrocution, boiling water, flames of fire. what ever way, the evil slaughter man does. This needs to STOP NOW! Have mercy on these innocent animals. They have done nothing to deserve this type of treatment.Bless Them and mae these people see the light.They are sentient beings, that are companion animals. not for meat. not to be abused cruelly from birth to Their untimely cruel death. TY.
