Subject: Fairfax County VA, friendship city with Icheon, S. Korea
Dear Chairman Bulova,
Members of the Board of Supervisors,
We thank you for taking action by sharing our campaign and our concerns
regarding the inhumane treatment of companion animals in the illegal dog and cat
meat industry, to Mayor Chun-Hee Park, of your Sister City, Seoul Songpa, South
Korea.
Fairfax County became friendship city also with Icheon, S. Korea, in
2013.
Dog-meat consumption is currently being practiced in that city as well,
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 extreme and widespread animal cruelty,
and the animals suffer unimaginable pain and distress, intentionally
inflicted.
Again for your information:
And the petition: https://www.change.org/p/chairman-sharon-bulova-of-fairfax-county-tell-friendship-city-icheon-korea-that-we-re-opposed-to-the-torture-consumption-of-dogs
They cannot speak for themselves which is why I am writing on their behalf.
I believe that your city wishes to be made aware of this ongoing issue, and
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 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 Icheon,
especially Mayor Byung-Don Cho, 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 so often concealed subject,
thank you.
Sincerely:
