IDA has long protested South Korea's notorious dog and cat meat trade, working

with local groups to bring the practice to an end and urging the government to

enforce existing laws that ban dog and cat consumption. Our efforts have been

reinforced recently by two exposés of dog farms broadcast on Korean television

which showed hundreds of dogs crammed together in tiny cages where they couldn't

even move or stretch their limbs.(Click here to see photos from the exposés.

Warning: some of the pictures are disturbing.) The dogs suffered unimaginable

cruelty before being loaded onto trucks bound for slaughter.

 

It is imperative that we reach the Korean government while the public's re has

been raised. Please take action and urge Korea's Prime Minister to to strengthen

the country's Animal Protection Law.

 

?Korean animal rescue organizations have been working so hard to make dog meat

illegal, but the general public's response to the idea of banning dog meat in

Korea has been always discouraging. This time is different. No media has ever

covered the issue of dog meat this closely before. Many people are still in

shock enough to actually do something about it.? --Youngmi Kim, PhD
