Subject: Irvine should not be a Sister city to any city/district
that allows dogs and cats to be tortured and eaten!
Dear Mayor Steven S. Choi and the City Council members:
Please watch the undercover videos from South Korea’s dog meat industry:
http://youtu.be/3uR8R8Mu70Q
Seoul Seocho District is one of the largest dog meat consumption areas in
South Korea.
The Korean internet searches resulted in: 130 Health Food Centers which
commonly sell dog/cat elixirs (also known as dog soju and cat soju); and 56 dog
meat soup restaurants in and around the city of Seoul Seocho District
alone!
Irvine should not be a Sister city to any city/district that allows dogs
and cats to be tortured and eaten.
Please urge Seoul Seocho District Mayor Eun-Hee Cho 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:
Positive update, send a thank you!

Dear Mayor Steven S. Choi and the City Council members:
I would like to thank you and the City Council of Irvine for responding to our concerns raised via the recent petition on Change.org about the mistreatment, torture and consumption of animals in Irvine’s Sister City of Seoul Seocho-gu District.
Both domestic and international pressure on this divisive issue is required if we are going to incite some real change in South Korea, so I kindly urge you to continue reaching out to your sister city until affirmative action is taken by the Seocho-gu district to end the horrific practice of the dog meat trade for good.
Thank you again for your efforts here.
Sincerely:
