Subject: Help: Korean Government Still Hasn't Given Up Their Plan to Hygienically Control Dog Meat?
Please Continue to Help Us Stop the Korean government's Plan to Hygienically Control Dogmeat
Dear friends of Korean animals,
The Korean government has not yet abandoned their plans to hygienically control dog meat. Hygienic control of dog meat will give dog butchers a legal way to conduct their business and sell their product, which will greatly encourage this vile trade. Please continue writing letters, signing petitions and sending postcards to the Korean government. Korean dogs and cats need your help more than ever. Their only hope is commitment and dedication from animal friends around the world. Please find out below what you can do to help Korean animals.
Best wishes,
Kyenan Kum

Dear President Roh Moo-Hyun,
I am appalled to learn that the Korean
Government is planning to introduce a policy
on the hygienic control of dog meat. This will
only pave a way towards a legal means of
doing business for the illegal dog meat trade
and greatly encourage the consumption of
dog meat. I am genuinely distressed when I
think of the devastating effect that this policy
will have on countless loving Korean dogs
and cats that are already dying in the millions
each year. This is the result of the
government’s total failure to either close
down the dog meat restaurants or educate
the public about the fraudulent health claims
responsible for the senseless and shameful
slaughter of these animals.
Government officials have, by their own admission, acknowledged that this is an unpopular move and have admitted there is no consensus, and certainly no mandate from the Korean public to further legitimise the dog meat trade. Why the government should be seeking to appease a small minority of dog-eaters is therefore beyond anyone’s comprehension. If the Korean government is truly committed - as it claims - to reduce animal abuse, then it should stop immediately all measures designed to legitimise dog meat consumption. Instead, it should incorporate all dogs and cats within the definition of “companion animals”, and then do everything it can to strengthen and especially enforce the existing animal protection law. No-one will be fooled by the Korean government paying lip-service to the idea of animal protection whilst simultaneously attempting to legalize the vile trade in dog meat.
Dogs and cats are not a main source of food in Korea, like cows or chickens, few Koreans eat them
for any other reason than for fraudulent health benefits. They have much more in common with bears and tigers who’s body parts are also sold in another illegal and shameful industry. The dog meat trade is an industry based upon consumer fraud and cruelty to animals. It is your duty to protect both animals and consumers from this illegal industry by enforcing the law and educating the public.
As President, you have power to stop your government’s unfortunate and ill-judged attempts to legalize the dog meat trade. Failure to do so will bring about the greatest shame yet upon your country and even more misery to millions of Korean animals.
Till now we have collected more than 93 000 signatures on our petition.
Sincerely,
Korea Animal Protection Supporter
