Dedicated animal advocate and our friend Rudy Gallardo shared with us a letter he received from the Yongin City Council in response to our campaign: A Plea for Compassion: Protect Chained Dogs from Burning Alive in South Korean Wildfires (Sister City: Yongin & Fullerton, California): 🔗 https://koreandogs.org/a-plea-for-compassion-yongin-fullerton/ Thank you, Rudy!

Rudy frequently sends protest letters by post and occasionally receives responses from the Korean government. This reply from the Yongin City Council is encouraging—it reflects the impact of our persistent advocacy and the collective actions we have taken together.

We are heartened to see Yongin taking steps toward meaningful change for animals. However, we firmly believe that the evacuation of companion animals during disasters must be mandatory, not merely recommended.

Let’s continue our campaign to push for stronger animal protection policies in Yongin—and throughout every city in South Korea. Together, we can create lasting change for the animals who depend on our voices and our action.
