" Korea Should Stop Eating Man's Best Friends " (Sunday, March 26, 2006)

Currently, many people in South Korea and China are angry over a respective case

of animal abuse. The abuse of hundreds of dogs by its owner in Incheon west of

Seoul infuriated South Korean citizens. The dogs have been left unattended in

squalid conditions out in the open for several months. Many of them starved or

froze to death as its owner left them out in the freezing weather. The owner was

seeking compensations from Incheon City Administration. South Korean citizens as

well as many Chinese were also in anger over a Chinese woman who killed a puppy,

a cat, and a rabbit by trampling them with her shoes. The vivid photos of her

inhumane behavior are now widely circulating on the South Korean websites as

well. Faced by the strong protest, she apologized to the Chinese public, saying

that she was suffering from manic depression. But her excuse made Chinese even

angrier. The woman, named Wang Jue, is known to be a nurse working at a local

hospital in Heilungjang (Black Dragon) Province.

Vegetarian in Korea

The GOOD news: There are many vegetarian restaurants throughout the country.

Unfortunately, only a few advertise to foreigners, so for many people,

especially those who come to Korea on vacation, or to work for a year, it can be

nearly impossible to find them, particularly if you are not in Seoul. It is my

hope that this website will fill this void. Having yet to find a comprehensive

source in English that listed vegetarian restaurants in the Republic of Korea, I

began to compile this information myself. This information is compiled from

numerous sources including my own experience, but the majority is lifted from

various Korean websites (i.e. the Vegetarian Union, and various vegan/vegetarian

sites and searches).
