As described, G20 is a great opportunity to talk about the farmed bears

situation in Korea and also whatever the issues on Korea every each one of

you might have right now.

 

Hope you can help yourself and help us to get the most possible outcome for

the issues we have this year.

*** FYI, The following is my email.

 

 

*Dear Ms Sohn,*

 

*Congratulations on your role as spokesperson. *

* *

*I am writing as the ambassador for Korea for world animal day which is to

be held on 4 Oct this year.*

 

*The G20 certainly represents for Korea a coming of age economically. *

*However sadly when it comes to animal welfare Korea continues to

fall behind most developed countries. *

* *

*Therefore we believe it can never achieve proper international status

without addressing such issues. *

 

*For example did you know there are 1600 moon bears in farms in Korea living

in horrible conditions and having their bile extracted or being slaughtered

to be eaten?*

 

*Such issues will be highlighted by most of the global and local animal

welfare organisations leading up to and during the G20 which is a real shame

for Korea.*

 

*If you could use your position to help us get a message to the Korean

Government to make some visionary policy changes before the G20 this would

be wonderful for Korea's image and for the poor suffering animals in bear

farms, dog and cat markets and the many facilities around Korea that try to

cope- with no government funding or interest - with the 800,000 dogs

abandoned by Korean people every year.*

* *

 

*I really hope you can help Ms Sohn.*

*

A great start would be for the Korean government to buy the bears from

farmers and locate them in sanctuaries to live out their days. *

* *

*Pls look the **moonbears.org* <http://moonbears.org/>* website for more

information.*

 

*Thanks for listening.*

* *

*I am looking forward to meeting you to discuss further.*

* *

 

*Yours sincerely,*

 

*Gina Moon*
