The dog farm specified above is suspected to be an unregistered facility and has been contributing to the pollution of the environment and thus requires urgent administrative measures and immediate shutdown.
1. Under the current enforcement decree of the Act on the Management and Use of Livestock Excreta, any dog farm at least 60 square meters in size is subject to registration as a waste emission facility. Any illegal dog farms operating without proper registration must be ordered to suspend operation and close per Article 17 and Article 18 of the Act. Administrative actions such as the imposition of fines must be issued according to Article 50 and the enforcement decree Article 20 of the same law.
2. Illegal dog slaughter may violate Article 8 of the Animal Protection Act. If a dog farm has committed an illegal dog slaughter, they will be sentenced to less than two years in prison and fined up to 20 million won. Please inspect the dog farm site to check if illegal dog slaughter is committed and report it to the police.
3. According to Articles 25 and 46 of the Waste Control Act, food waste feed recycling requires that dog farms are equipped with appropriate facilities and must be registered and authorized by the municipal government. Please inspect the dog farm to check if the food waste is being fed to dogs and take appropriate administrative actions per Article 66 for violations.
4. In the case of temporary buildings: Dog farms must obtain approval according to the Building Act Article 14 (Building Reports) and Article 20 (Temporary Buildings). Please remove the building if the building is unauthorized.
5. If sewage contamination is found: Personal sewage treatment facilities must be reported per Article 34, Paragraph 2 of the Sewerage Act. After inspecting the discharge of manure and wastewater into the public water, please take administrative measures per Article 77 of the Sewerage Act.
6. If household waste is found: Unlawful dumping and loading of household waste violate Article 13 of the Waste Control Act. After investigating the accumulation of household waste in the vicinity, please take measures per Article 66-1 of the Waste Control Act.
Our worldwide campaign urging your city to shut down all illegal dog farms and slaughterhouses is in progress. https://chng.it/Fptqwc4z
We urge you to take quick and strong administrative measures to address the violation of laws and shut down all these illegal dog farms immediately!

STOP THIS TORTURE IMMEDIATELY!!
FERMATE questo mercato della carne dei cani e dei gatti orribile barbaro crudele e incivile, una vergogna per il genere umano
Dass es im 21.Jahrhundert noch solche grausamen Tier Höllen gibt, ist mehr, als unmoralisch und verantwortungslos. Kore ist ein aufstrebenden Land mit aufgeklärten Menschen und daher ist es unfassbar, dass genau diese Menschen noch Fleisch von Hunden und Katzen essen. Dessen nicht genug, weil die hilflosen Mitgeschöpfe auch noch bestialisch gequält werden, bevor sie einen unvorstellbar grausamen Tod erleiden. Auch das Fleisch dieser armen Kreaturen wird von keinem Veterinär überprüft und stellt somit eine nicht zu unterschätzende gesundheitliche Gefahr für solche Menschen dar, die es verzehren. “Kein Erzeugnis aus Korea – und – sei es noch so kostengünstig!” so heißt unser Slogen, denn so lange die Koreanische Regierung nicht in der Lage, oder gewillt ist, dieser unfassbaren und verantwortungslosen Grausamkeit gesetzlich ein Ende zu bereiten, sollen diese “Un – menschen” auf ihren Erzeugnissen sitzen bleiben. Korea bildet auf der Landkarte einen großen schwarzen Fleck – der stellt die große Schande dar, welche das Land auf der ganzen Welt kennzeichnet. Ich fordere ein sofortiges Ende von Überlieferungen, die aus dem Mittelalter stammen und keinen Platz mehr im 21.Jahrhundert haben dürfen!
What terrorism is for democracy, DCMT is for the progress of human civilization, namely barbarism … if South Korea , wants to belong to the world where both , human civilization and the evolution of man, exist, the government of SK which tolerate this ignominy, must prohibit it .. it is inconceivable that this barbarism can still exist in our time and I pity the people who approve it …. for me, quite simply it means that these people do not belong to our time It’s time to us to act , Albert Einstein said ” the indifference, callousness and contempt that so many people exhibit toward animals is evil first because it results in an incalculably great impoverishement of the human spirit” . Hope that SK will change at last …
Please treat dogs with respect and love. They are out best friend❣️
The dog and cat meat trade is a moral obscenity of the first order. The nations, mainly Asian, who condone this torture to such loving and trusting companion animals such as dogs, and cats, have absolutely nothing to be proud of if they crow endlessly about their materialistic progress and glorious civilizations. The empty rationalizations used to justify such depravity of a ‘business’ are just fallacious sophistic nonsense. Until animal welfare laws and legislated and enforced in said countries, and the populations are educated to understand what an obscenity this is, such nations are empty vessels of indifference and corrupt behaviour. To accept torture of nonhuman life as a norm, and not object to it, reveals systemic evil, mainly from the authorities who claim to govern the citizens under their control and who are unprepared to listen to their own activists wishing this horror to be banned. To be against torture — inflicted through malign cultural traditions — is not cultural imperialism. Those individuals who speak up to condemn the concept of cultural relativism are freely entitled to condemn torture to humans or nonhumans perpetrated in any nation on Earth. That torture is somehow acceptable within a culture, and outsiders should not interfere or criticize other cultures, is irrational nonsense. To pander to this concept is just an excuse to deny criticism of an evil. To do so exonerates the perpetrators of cruelty, the callous dog and cat meat traders who need retraining for more productive and humane occupations. Above all the acceptance of cruelty fails the nonhumans who cannot speak for themselves. More than ever, we need compassionate individuals with empathy to speak up for those beings denied a voice to live a happy life free from misery, torture, suffering and death. No more excuses for the corrupt horror of the Asian dog and cat meat trade! End it. Ban this sordid trade.
End the South Korean dog meat trade before another pandemic hits the world!
As the Korean Government why are you still allowing illegal cat and dog farms in your Country?
What are you doing to end this illegal act of brutality and torture to innocent Animals? It is illegal and barbaric and pure evil to allow poor defenceless animals to be treated in this way. Cats and dogs were not put on this earth to be used for for human consumption. All around the World Cats and dogs are domesticated and they bring pleasure to people all around the World. You the Korean Government have to end this illegal act of brutality and torture to innocent Animals Now. What you are allowing to happen in your Country is wrong and evil. Those that are involved in the brutal murder of defenceless animals should be prosecuted and imprisoned for there act of cruelty to animals. Do the right thing and close these Illegal farms down now. All around the World we are fighting for your Country to end this illegal act of brutality and torture to innocent Animals. As you the Korean Government are doing nothing.
Shut these illegal farms Now. End this unnecceary killing of innocent animals now. You the Korean Government can stop this. Use your Power and your political status to stop this now. It is illegal and barbaric. Do the right thing for your Country.
