Animal abuse is happening in South Korea in broad daylight.

- The path of dogs’ tears: from closed dog farms to dog slaughter houses.

The dog farm in Gwangmyeong-si, Gyeonggi-do was the place where dogs were hanged and slaughtered. KARA filed a complaint against the dog farm in April, but the local government only gave mild crackdown and stayed on the sidelines. Meanwhile, the owner of the dog farm sold the dogs to other slaughterhouses.

The dogs were crumpled and thrown, locked in a cage and taken to another slaughterhouse. In such cruel situations, extremely frightened dogs are thrown into the cages without making a single sound.

It was the slaughterhouse in Yongdu-dong, where the butcher hit the dogs with golf clubs, where the dogs had to witness the death of fellow dogs. KARA accused the slaughterhouse and rescued all 33 survived dogs.⠀

The ‘dog meat’ industry is not just a matter of someone’s taste, but a collection of social problems and a series of brutal animal abuse.

Some people say, “Who eats dog meat these days? It will go away on its own.”

In fact, a survey we did confirmed that many dog farms were already closed or were in the process of closing down, and that many places were willing to close down.

However, it is the slaughterhouses and the middle distributors who enjoy the special at times like this. Distributors are buying dogs from closed dog farms. Eventually, dogs are moved to other places, abused and slaughtered.

In only one slaughterhouse, hundreds of dogs are slaughtered a month in summer. Dogs aren’t listed in the ‘livestock’ list of the country, but the slaughtered dogs are illegally distributed and sold to restaurants in a truck with no refrigeration facilities in the temperature above 30 degrees Celsius.

Singok-dong slaughterhouse, which KARA rescued dogs from on 17 July, is also at the center of this death distribution network.

The private sector, such as civic groups and individuals, has been trying their best for decades, but the government have let this situation happen. The government must face the reality of illegalities and make a decision. Only the declaration of an end of dog meat industry in the country can change this reality.

KARA will make efforts to speak up about the illegality and the brutal reality, and to speed up the end of dog meat industry in this country.
