President Moon Jae-In, please help your country’s “animal friends”: end the horrific dog and cat meat trades.

We were very hopeful when South Korean president Moon Jae-In, took office in 2017. President Moon Jae-In has a pet dog, and we hoped that he might finally bring the dog and cat meat trade to an end in South Korea. However, President Moon has done absolutely nothing to improve the lives of companion animals. The dog and cat meat trade continues while President Moon’s administration supports the shameful and illegal industry by turning a blind eye and taking no action to end it. Let’s urge President Moon to end the unethical and cruel dog and cat meat trade in his country once and for all, and to bring honor to his country and their citizens. Please take action today!
South Korea now has a new President who is more concerned about animal welfare than his predecessor, Park Geun-Hye, who was impeached for corruption. Now there is a real opportunity for our message to be heard by this new government and for them to bring about the changes which we have been working so hard for. During his campaign, President Moon Jae-In promised that he will improve the welfare of “animal friends”. So let’s not waste any time: call, write or email President Moon and ask him to address the most urgent and important animal cruelty issue existing in South Korea today — ask him to put a permanent end to the dog and cat meat trades!

Message to the President Moon Jae-In:
Your Excellency President Moon Jae-In, please end the horrific dog and cat meat trade.
Your Excellency President Moon Jae-In and the South Korean Government,
Please watch these videos: Shocking Cruelty of South Korean Dog Meat Industry https://youtu.be/_ZVQjgGb4RQ, https://youtu.be/ivHffcM5B6w, The Dog Meat Professionals: South Korea https://koreandogs.org/dmp/
I am extremely upset about the torture and consumption of companion animals in South Korea.
With the ubiquity of social medias, every day we are seeing shocking and heartbreaking images and videos of innocent dogs being tortured and killed in your country.
Even though Korea has established an Animal Protection Law for companion animals, dogs are still beaten, hung, electrocuted, and treated brutally by farmers and slaughters. Also, dogs and cats are still being beaten and boiled alive for so-called elixirs, which do not have medical properties except in the minds of ignorant and gullible customers.
These practices have no place in the modern world. Other Asian countries have banned the eating of dog meat and the cruel industry that goes with it, such as Taiwan and the Philippines. Why does Korea persist in lagging behind these countries and other civilized societies?
It’s the responsibility of the Korean government to once and for all end the cruel dog meat and cat medicine industries in Korea. It is time to dismiss the childish myths and propaganda surrounding these industries and their vile products. It is time to leave behind backward and unnecessary traditions.
And it is time for Korea to start taking animal welfare seriously and show that it really does have a compassionate and ethical society. That means it is time for the Korean government to start better educating the public about the importance of spaying and neutering, about not abandoning pets, and about treating animals in a proper manner.
Until these things are done, Korea’s reputation in the international community will continue to suffer. Its citizens will continue to face shame and embarrassment. And Korea will continue to be regarded as “third world,” despite its modernization and attempts at globalized thinking.
Therefore, I ask that you do all in your power to stop this barbarism and cruelty immediately.
From now on, I will boycott Korean products, and I will not support Korean companies or visit Korea until the abuse of cats and dogs has finally ended.
Yours sincerely,
