Watchdog: Action Alert! Help shut down horrific dog farm in Chujeong-ri, Cheongju, and demand dogs be relocated to a shelter!
Sharing for Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth (CARE)/Watchdog
From CARE:
This is regarding a dog farm in Chujeong-ri, Cheongju, Chungcheongbuk-do province, South Korea, where a slaughterhouse and a dog meat restaurant were once operating together. Although the dog meat restaurant appears to have been closed, the dog farm still exists.
Below we share an excerpt from the report of a member who had recently visited this place.
When we arrived, the dogs were howling in pain and distress.
This dog farm must be very old; the cages were made with wood. I have never seen raised wire cages that look like this. The conditions there were even more appalling than those at other dog farms I have seen due to its age. The dogs were perpetually confined to narrow, cramped cages, living on top of heaps of excrement with their swollen, painful paws. Excrement was piled high in their wire cages; the dogs’ stomach and paws were full of this filth. Among them, a pregnant dog was also seen. The mother was suffering in the same conditions and filth, just as her soon-to-be-born puppies surely would as well.
Dirty bowls that looked as though they had not been washed in 10 years held rotten and moldy food waste that even the starving dogs couldn’t bring themselves to eat.
Life in that place, where even the light doesn’t come in, seemed so painful and miserable. Nevertheless, despite all that they have endured, the dogs that saw us seemed to welcome us with anticipation. It was so heartbreaking to see them so eager for us to pet them as if even the smallest gesture of affection would offer them a momentary reprieve from the hell in which they were living. Throughout the filming, they were crying out, clearly begging to be taken out of those cages and saved from their lives of torment.
I was heartbroken to look into the eyes of these dogs and see a glimmer of hope that we had come to rescue them from the daily suffering they endure in this horrible environment.
All the preparations for filing civil complaints against this dog farm/slaughterhouse are now complete. These civil complaints, which outline all illegal activities at this dog farm, are the best option we have to finally shut it down permanently.

This illegal dog farm/slaughterhouse has been in operation for many years while the City of Cheongju has ignored the brutalizing and torture of innocent dogs. It’s time to put an end to this once and for all.
We ask you to:
1. Immediately shut down the Chujeong-ri dog farm/slaughterhouse that CARE reported.
2. Relocate all the dogs from this dog farm to the Cheongju City Shelter and provide them with medical care, protection, and an opportunity to be adopted into a loving family.
3. Conduct a full investigation into multiple instances of animal cruelty. Prosecute and punish the dog farm owner to the fullest extent of the law.
4. Investigate all remaining dog farms in Cheongju, shut them down, and relocate all the dogs to the Cheongju city shelter.
5. Continue to monitor the city to prevent more illegal dog farms from emerging.
6. Educate your citizens on animal welfare and compassion.
7. Shut down illegal dog meat restaurants and so-called “health centers” (geongangwon).
Online petitions calling for your action in shutting down this dog farm/slaughterhouse and the end of the horrendous dog and cat meat industry in Cheongju is now in progress:

Sincerely,

청주시에서 자행되는 잔인한 개/고양이 식용산업에 대한 외신 보도가 청주시의 이미지를 크게 추락시키고 있습니다. 이 비극을 끝낼 때입니다! 청주시의 회신을 요청드립니다.

[개농장 조사 라이브]
충북 청주시의 한 개농장입니다.
이곳은 개농장, 도살장, 보신탕집까지 같이 운영한 곳입니다. 보신탕집은 다행히 문을 닫은 것으로 보이지만, 개농장은 여전히 현존하고 있었습니다.
이곳에 직접 다녀온 단원의 일기로 현장을 공유드립니다.
단원💭✍
도착했을 때 개들은 짖는게 아니라 울부짖고 있었다.
얼마나 오래된 개농장인지, 뜬장이 나무로 만들어져 있었다. 처음 보는 뜬장이었다. 오래된 만큼이나 다른 개농장보다 환경이 열악했다. 몸집이 큰 아이들은 좁디 좁은 뜬장에서, 굳어버린 똥들 위에서, 다 불어터진 발바닥으로 하루하루를 버티고 있었다. 배설물은 더이상 빠질 공간이 없어 뜬장까지 차올라 개들의 배와 발바닥에 오물이 가득 묻어있었다. 그 중엔 임신한 모견도 보였다… 그 모견 역시 오물의 고통으로부터 예외는 아니었다.
10년 동안 한 번도 안씻었을 것 같은 더러운 식기에, 음식물쓰레기는 썩을대로 썩어 곰팡이가 피어있었고, 굶주린 개들조차도 본능적으로 먹지 못하는 수준이었다..
빛도 잘 들아오지 않는 그 곳의 삶이 너무나 괴로워보였다. 그럼에도 우리를 본 개들은 우리를 반겨주었고, 한 번만 쓰다듬어 달라는 모습에 가슴이 너무 아팠다. 촬영하는 내내 개들은 경계의 짖음이 아닌 꺼내달라고, 제발 살려달라고 울부짖는 것만 같았다.
매일 똑같은 고통의 환경 속에서 행여나 나를 구해주러 온 사람이 아닐까 하는 개들의 눈빛에 마음이 너무 아팠다.
——————————————
이제 준비작업은 모두 끝났습니다. 이곳의 불법사항들을 모조리 민원으로 제출하여 개들의 울부짖음과 고통이 다시는 반복되지 않도록 반드시 철폐하겠습니다.

청주 추정리 개농장
내가 지금까지 가 본 개농장 중 가장 최악의 환경,,,,
몸 하나도 돌릴 수 없는 아주아주 비좁은 낡은 뜬장,
똥은 몇 년을 안 치웠는지 산처럼 쌓여있고,
더러운 오래된 음식물 쓰레기 굳어 쌓여있는 몇 년 안씻었을 용기와 펌프시설….
현장 파악을 하기위해 내부를 보는 것 조차도 아이들에게 미안하고….아이들 곡소리에 더 이상 사진을 찍을 수도 없었고 뒤돌아 나와 치솟는 분노와 마지못해 목숨을 연명해 가는, 죽을 자유도 없는 아이들의 곡소리로 인해 참았던 울음을 터뜨리고 말았다.
수많은 개농장을 봐왔던 나도 더 이상 볼 수 없는 최악의 환경이었다.
현장의 참혹한 현실에 공무원에게 격리조치를 요구했고, 중간중간 아이들이 떠올라 슬픔에 나는 말을 이어갈 수 없었다.
나는 정말 공무원을 싫어한다.
온갖 불법투성이인데도
1년간 1,2차례 지도점검하며 문제없다는 인간들..
뭘 지도 점검했는지…
뭘 알고나 지도점검을 했는지.
혹시 개농장과 유착관계는 아닌지….
정말 청주 상당구청
욕도 아깝다.
공무원이 불법을 행하게 코치하고.
너희들이 그러고도 공무원이냐!
내가 가서 확 뒤집어주마…
그리고, 내가 장담한다.
너 개농장 주인 용서를 구걸해도 너의 죄가 이미 너무 크다.
내가 아는 모든 법으로 너의 인생을 조각내주마.

Absolutely brutal, horrific and barbaric. These innocent beautiful animals should be treated with love and respect. Dogs are man’s best friend. They are loving loyal and mans best friend. These sub humans who inflict this horrendous cruelty, do not deserve to draw breath. STOP THIS NOW.
Olette hirviöitä kun syötte lemmikkejä, lopettakaa heti tai joudutte helvettiin!
Animals are no different then children. Just with fur. Sick murderers. Rot in hell for eternity!!
FARM? WHAT FARM! ITS A DISGUSTING GERM RIDDEN PLACE THAT SHOULD BE BOMBED! HOW DO YOU PEOPLE EAT ANYTHING THAT REMOTELY COMES FROM A DISEASE INFESTED AREA? WHAT FARM LOOKS LIKE YOUR SHIT HOLE “FARM”? YOU PEOPLE ARE SLOBS!!!
Shame on you South Korea! You like to promote yourselves as a modern forward thinking country, yet you allow a disgusting, cruel and barbaric practice to continue without doing anything to stop it. These farms and slaughterhouses are illegal, but authorities turn a blind eye to the suffering there.
SHAME ON SOUTH KOREA FOR YOUR CONTINUING BARBARISM!!!!!
Please stop. This is abuse. How can you watch and abuse animals. This is very sick
Emails sent, messages on Facebook and Twitter too, hoping this terrible treatment of dogs and cats will stop!
