Subject: Irvine, friendship city to S. Korea's Seoul Nowon District

 

Dear Mayor Steven S. Choi and City Council members:

 

Please watch the undercover videos from South Korea’s dog meat industry:

Seoul Nowon District is one of the largest dog meat consumption areas in South Korea.

 

The Korean internet searches resulted in: 122 Health Food Centers which commonly sell dog/cat elixirs (also known as dog soju and cat soju); and 51 dog meat soup restaurants in and around the city of Seoul Nowon District alone.

 

Irvine should not be a Friendship city to any city/district that allows dogs and cats to be tortured and eaten.

Please urge Seoul Nowon District Mayor Seong-Hwan Kim to close down all illegal dog farms and slaughterhouses, markets, truckers and restaurants who serve their products.

An online petition calling for your support in ending the horrendous South Korean dog and cat meat cruelty is in progress:

The favor of your reply is requested.

 

Thank you,

 

Sincerely:
