Pasadena, friendship city to Paju S. Korea, where dogs and cats are (illegally) tortured and eaten!

From: http://koreandogs.org/friendship-city-campaign-paju-south-korea-pasadena-california/
Post a message please. Adjust the text if possible; and/or call, send a letter, or use twitter
----------------------------------------------------


 
This is a message about the horrific, brutal dogmeat industry in South Korea; I urge you to be informed and watch the undercover video
 
 
Paju is one of the largest dog meat consumption areas in South Korea. The Korean internet searches resulted in: 143 Health Food Centers which commonly sell dog/cat elixirs (also known as dog soju and cat soju); and 135 dog meat soup restaurants in and around the city of Paju alone.
According to the  Korea governor's Association database on sister cities,
Pasadena is a sister city of Paju. I believe that you would not want to be  a Friendship city to any city that allows dogs and cats to be tortured and eaten.
Please urge Mayor Jae-Hong Lee of Paju 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:
 
 
Please let me know your decision,
thank you.
 
Sincerely:

Malaysia, stop the brutal massacre of homeless dogs, start anti-rabies vaccinations and massive desexing programs now!

Telephone number : +603-8000 8000

Minister, Ambassador, Sir, Madam, To whom it concerns :

We as international animal friends regardless of race, religion, political background or country, strongly protest against the Kedah State Government in Malaysia for continuing the killing of stray dogs because of some rabies cases in the past.

We urge the Kedah State government to immediately stop the killing order, as Penang State and Perlis did lately.

Please, replace massive killing of homeless dogs in Kedah with massive vaccination programs; WTO, WHO and WVS already stated that massive vaccination will work effectively, in comparison with massive killing. They completed successfull missions in Africa, Bali and India.

Please be humane and compassionate and change your tactics.

-----The Chief Minister of Penang - Lim Guan Eng, had cancelled the previously ordered rabies vaccines at the same time as he cancelled the order of killing homeless dogs. 

The president of Hong Kong Non-Profit making Veterinary Service Society (NPV) – Mark Mak, criticized Lim’s action, this should be condemned by the WHO for placing both people and animals in jeopardy!
Lim mentioned in the press this morning that the order for vaccinating housedogs might remain in effect. But the vaccines order was cancelled.
Mak commented that Lim had no intention of preventing rabies by vaccinating homeless dogs!

Which implies another massive killing of the homeless dog in the future.  Meanwhile, vaccinations by the Veterinary Bureau is only meant for housedogs.

It is time for the NGOs to perform vaccinations for the abandoned dogs, Lim says. Well, Lim is responsible and should allocate funds for this!

Since September 21st there has been no case of rabies detected in Kedah.   Penang and Perlis stopped the killing.

But Kedah is still killing, the Sungai Petani Council MPSPK is aggressively killing even at night with 20 men!

So we urge you and plead with the Kedah State Government to stop the killing immediately and replace this by a massive vaccination program in cooperation with the WVS and the local Kedah NGO!

As for Penang State Government, massive vaccination programs are your responsibility in Penang state, as well due to the rabies outbreak, which is a social problem.
It’s time now to relocate funds to take action instead of throwing the ball to the local NGO!

As for the Malaysia Federal Government : please fund a massive spaying and neutering program for the homeless dogs to control and reduce the population in your country and heavily fine those irresponsible owners who abandon their pets and let them breed.
 
Urging you once more to stop the barbaric killing of sentient beings, it’s very unethical, uncivilized and upsetting and has been proven ineffective to control your country’s  stray animals population for 58 years now! Let’s make a change, and avoid these cruel acts!
Please end this now!
 
Sincerely :

Gresham, sister city to Sokcho S. Korea, where dogs and cats are illegally tortured and eaten!

From: http://koreandogs.org/sister-city-campaign-sokcho-south-korea-gresham-oregon/
And or use Fb, Twitter, call, or send a letter; please change a few words or sentences, or use the first letter
-------------------------------------------------------
Letter to send:

 
Dear Mayor Bemis,
City Council members:
 
I am addressing myself to you concerning an important issue, regarding your sister city Sokcho, in South Korea.
 
If I could explain: dog-meat consumption is currently being practiced in that city, regardless of the fact that it is illegal under South Korean Law – but the laws are not enforced!
 
The dog and cat meat trades involve extremely brutal and widespread animal cruelty, and the animals suffer unimaginable pain and distress.
I include only these 2 links:
and
 
I believe that your city would wish to be made aware of this horrific issue, as they would not want to be affiliated with a city where illegal and immoral torture is being carried out on any animal, and particularly not on those that are loyal, trusting creatures, which look up to us humans as their guardians.
 
These illegal trades are being allowed to continue by Korean authorities – even though there is growing opposition from pet owners across South Korea, and throughout the world.
 
So, I am asking you to please speak with your counterparts, and Mayor Byeong-Sun Lee, in Sokcho to urge them to enforce their own laws, not ignore them, and to show compassion to their companion animals, and also respect to their own citizens, by bringing these trades to an end!
 
Please be informed by this ongoing petition:
 
With the Winter Olympics coming up in 2018, this is the time to make changes; this is the time to stop the illegal, inhumane and unnecessary cruelty.
 
I know that South Korea has many beautiful, admirable and noble practices and customs worth preserving, but this is not one of them!
 
Thank you for your time and understanding.
 
Awaiting your reply,
sincerely:
