Over 2 million dogs are brutally killed in South Korea every year. That's over 5,000 dogs a day who get strangled, burned, electrocuted or beaten to death for their meat. The South Korean government has accepted Animal Protection Laws which make

Why were the dog meat restaurants forced to shut down during the 1988 Seoul Olympics and the 2002 FIFA Cup? Because you were fearful of the impression Korea would have on the rest of the world. The government and the people of Korea are seen as uncivilized and barbaric due to the torture you inflict on these innocent and defenceless animals, you cannot hide your shame its there for all the world see on the internet. People know what you are doing and your reputation is going to need a lot of undoing to bring it up to world standard. This insane cruelty to these animals must stop if you are ever going to have a place in the rest of the civilized word. Hang your heads in shame and start doing the right thing.

Somewhere on the web (I had it at one time - before laptop meltdown) is a list of all the advertisers that supported the Seol olympics. Boycott the bastards (some of us may even be driving cars of manufacturers who knew about this abuse, but still supported the Korean olympics)

Also - there is a Korea Animal Rights Activist Group
=========================================
KARA consists of a group of people living in Korea who believe that animals should be respected as sentient beings with as much right as we have to live on this planet without suffering and tyranny.
Animal Rights Korea organisation!

The latest on the dog meat trade - Legislation - OMG
====================================
As dogs were not listed as livestock, there were no legal grounds to regulate dog meat restaurants and breeders of dogs for dog meat.

So, the Ministry of Environment has decided to categorize dogs as livestock primarily to control the sanitation practices of large-scale dog breeders. This came into effect on September 28.

This law change is all about the disposal of dog excretions and typically has nothing to do with actually improving the hellish conditions that dogs have to endure.

Thank you Simone!

So sad that South Korea recognises it barbarity by banning dog meat restuarants during international sporting events and also prohibits English signage. Must be the oriental mind at work here I'm surprised they have not written "Research" on the restuarants like the Japanese whaling ships! I am in a quandary do I switch my computer off as it is supplied with Korean hard drive etc not a lot of choice as it is a mixture of Chinese, Japanese and Taiwan components and as various bits of my Dell have been replaced under guarantee several time each occasion coming from a different animal abusive nation. So I console myself with the knowledge that the products of Korea, China and Japan are being used by me to speak against their barbaric practises! A variation of turning ploughshares into swords and yes it was intentional to turn the saying from swords into ploughshares! Yes those dog crates they do remind me of chicken cages in the UK as well, except the crates in the UK are usually plastic and made to fit the forklift trucks to faciltate lorry loading, turkey crates and the forklifts used with them being a little wider!

SIGNED...THANK YOU SIMONE.

FOR THOSE OF WHO WEREN'T IN MY NETWORK DURING MY CANADIAN SEAL CAMPAIGN, LET ME JUST GIVE YOU SOME INFORMATION ON HOW THE ORIENT FUR CRIMES WILL PREVAIL.
-1- THE ORIENT WAS IN FAVOR OF EU BANNING CANADIAN SEAL FURS AND MEATS.....WE WON A "WORLDWIDE" WIN AGAINST CANADA'S ATROCITIES TO SEALS.
-2-HOWEVER, WHAT WILL HAPPEN NOW, IS AN INCREASE OF FURS FROM THE ORIENT.

THIS CAMPAIGN AGAINST ORIENT FURS IS OF HUGE IMPORTANCE. AT THIS TIME I AM TAKING ON THE WHALE & DOLPHIN SLAUGHTERS FROM THIS SUBHUMAN COUNTRY LANDS. I AM HOPING WITH ENOUGH MONITARY DEVASTATION FROM THIS CAMPAIGN, THAT IT WILL LEAD US DOWN TO THE PATH TO DEVASTATE THE ORIENT COMPLETELY IN ALL OF THE ANIMAL ATROCITIES.

Thank you Simone and thanks also to Meg for forwarding it to me. I will never again purchase any product manufactured processed or sold in Korea or any other Asian nation until this madness ends. We can't do much about products we already own and depend on like our computers all of which have components made in Korea, China, Japan, Phillipines etc. But we can exercise much greater discretion in choosing products we purchase from this day forward. I will be buying a car in the near future, and it will not be one that was produced by an Asian company even if it was manufactured in the U.S. Honda for instance has a plant not far from where I live, but no Honda dealer will have my business. Not only do we need to boycott products from Asian countries, I think we should go a step further and boycott retail businesses in own countries who sell merchandise of Asian origin. Depriving them of our money is the only thing that's going to make them consider our views and reevaluate whether they want to contiue slaughtering dogs (and cats) for food.

All of us need to address the horrific results of what they truly do to our much loved and cared for dogs and partners. A public announcement does attract others to what they are doing to our dogs. Lets stop them!!

Noted and signed. I have been boycotting Asia for years already, ever since China killed my Pumpkin with their poison cat food.There is nothing in my house that says "made in china" on it. Deprive them of our money? The United States owes China 7 trillion dollars right now. Our government can't even tell them to keep their poison crap , that's why it's flooding all of our stores here. That's why people ae out of work here, because it's cheaper to buy chinese junk. I could go on and on.

Signed. This has to be the worst cruelty towards an animal. I have been fighting this cause for over 30 years now ever since I saw a photo of a dog with it's back legs tied over it's back & a tin can over it's mouth waiting for a horrific end to it's life. God help all these poor dogs ...........I can't bring myself to watch any footage these days as I get older I get even more upset if that is at all possible.

Thank you Simone!

China (almost any furry animals for their fur and organs), Vietnam (caterpillars), Burma/Thailand (grasshoppers, locusts) and even Malaysia (rats which they do not label openly on menu) are increasingly "cruel"! Beware because dog and cat meat may be very acidic and actually can cause cancer. Cancer cells thrive and will mutate DNA in acidic environments!

dogs are pets, not food? tell that to my cousins who as children, had their lamb slaughtered for dinner, a lamb they lovingly raised, why are any animals looked at as food? yes, dogs are ours to love, but in other countries they view them as food, just as American and other countries view view cattle, chickens, etc., as food, our countries are no better than these Asian countries, who gets to decide which animals it is okay to slaughter for dinner? they are not meat, they are flesh, and when they are killed they begin to rot, that is what people eat, rotting flesh.
great job on this posting, Simone, I am still getting alerts to come here to note and sign, you are kickin butt with awareness xoxoxoxo
 

Kelly c. (100)

Well said Sheila!!! Rotting flesh! I agree with most here on their views. My heart is crying for these poor dogs!

Please tell your friends to ask their friends if they believe that unhappy sad and badly cared-for animals are nutritious! Do not give your business to these restaurants when you are there. If everyone can do this, no matter how greedy and how much they think dog meat can get them, they will have no choice but to set those dogs free or give away to shelters.

The one that really gets to me is that THERE ARE people who SOLD their pets to those in the dog trade!! :(

Already signed this as I have many others on the same topic. Someone said that dog and cat meat may cause cancer. Anyone who eats dogs and cats....animals that humans have a strong emotional connection with....deserve to get cancer. Oddly enough though, I have read reports that Asian countries have relatively low cancer rates. That does'nt make their consumption of dogs and cats any less evil.

I must say that they may outlaw at "TIMES", but hey also have holidays that celebrate eating of dogs. they raise them as we would cattle, both make me sick...... as they feel beating and hurting the "MEAT" would make them more vigorous.. how do we get them to understand that eating what they consider medicinal , is NOT and can also kill them(if they believe then they get their just deserts) WHAT CAN WE REALLY DO BESIDES THIS, I WISH WE COULD GO AND SAVE THEM ALL , china not only has a one child policy they have a one "dog" policy.... sick,and shame on them all,
