Subject: Daejeon Yuseong District, S. Korea, Friendship city with Yolo County

Dear Chairman Chamberlain,
Members of the Board of Supervisors:

 

Daejeon Yuseong District became Friendship city with Yolo County in 2015.

 

Dog-meat consumption is currently being practiced in that district, regardless of the fact that it is illegal under South Korean Law because of the barbaric ways in which this takes place– but the laws are not enforced.

 

The dog and cat meat trades involve extreme and widespread animal cruelty, and the animals suffer unimaginable pain and distress.

For your information:

And  the petition:

These creatures cannot speak for themselves which is why I am writing on their behalf.

 

I believe that your county wishes to be made aware of this ongoing issue, and not want to be affiliated with a district where illegal and immoral torture is being carried out on any animal, and particularly not on those that are loyal, trusting and sentient creatures, which look up to us humans as being their guardians.

 

These illegal trades are still being allowed to continue by Korean authorities – even though there is a large growing opposition from pet owners across South Korea, and throughout the world.

 

So, I am asking you to please speak with your counterparts in Daejeon Yuseong District, especially Mayor Tae-Jeong Heo, to urge them to enforce their own laws, not ignore them, and to show compassion towards their companion animals, and respect to their own citizens, by bringing these brutal trades finally to an end!

 

With the Winter Olympics coming up in 2018, this is the time to make change; 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.

Please let me know how you feel about this hideous and so often concealed subject, thank you.

 

Sincerely:
