Victory! Bucheon passes animal protection bill.
Sharing from Nami Kim and her team‘s Facebook post on May 12, 2016.
Mr. Kim of the city’s animal welfare just shared with me a minute ago that the very first step was taken to designate Bucheon city a “dog meat free zone.” This bill enforcing the animal protection law was passed by the city council, and while it’s not on a national assembly level it is a good start for other cities to follow. I am so grateful to Mr. Kim; his hard work has paid off and we have more to do together.

Currently, search engines show the sickening scale of Bucheon’s dog-meat demand
As of now, internet searches for dog meat restaurants (search word Boshintang meaning Dog Meat Soup in Korean) results in 90 restaurants in the vicinity of Bucheon. However, it is our hope that with the passing of the Animal Protection Bill, which does not in itself ban dog meat consumption but enforces domestic animal protection, (which is insufficient and a namesake only in Korea to say the least) is the start of greater change to come, eventually ending the dog meat consumption in that city.
We will call the move by Bucheon a small victory but we will keep our eye on Bucheon to see if their actions follow their words. We will continue our campaign to urge Bucheon to end the dog meat trade and be the first city in Korea to become a “Dog Meat Free City”.

God bless Nami Kim for her tireless work, I can’t understand why so many people still want to eat these dog/cat products, there is enough publicity telling of the cruel ways these animals are treated, they must be barbaric morons, I hope they all die a slow death. They are pure scum.
It’s a step in the right direction but do much more must be fine to outlaw this barbaric and cruel practice everywhere?The world is watching!
This is good news!

Thank Nami Kim you are Angel.. I love you .
Thank you to all the wonderful people who are against this torture of our “best friends” and cats.
I have now two heroes … Nami Kim and Mayor Kim Man-Soo! I honestly became emotional when I saw this news. Words cannot describe how happy I was to read it. Finally, someone with some compassion and foresight.
Big Victory! Thank you for getting our victory!!!!
Thank you Nami and Mr Kim to divert a uniform of humanity. It is proven that we as humans can live without any type of meat and we have a responsibility to treatment of other life forms. The other life forms that are know to us as animals have a right to live freely and without harm just as we do. I applaud your efforts that seem to go on endlessly but as we move one step forward we are seeing results of our continued movement and not giving up.
Good news ! Hopefully other cities will follow suit. Thank you Mami Kim for the wonderful work of your group. Thank you also to Mayor Kim-ManSoo for standing up and having the conviction that breeding, torturing and killing dogs alive for human consumption is not acceptable to the global community. All things have a right to life.
