Subject: Goseong-gun S. Korea, sister city to Glendale CA

Dear Mayor Gharpetian and the City Council members,
We thank you for contacting Mayor Young-Rok Yoo, of your Sister City,
Gimpo, South Korea, by stating your disapproval of the inhumane treatment of
dogs and cats abused and tortured during the meat trades in that city.
But Glendale is sister city to Goseong-gun in S. Korea as well.
And the horrific dog-meat trade and consumption is currently being
practiced in that city also, regardless of the fact that it is illegal under
South Korean Law – the laws are simply not enforced!
The dog and cat meat trades involve extreme and widespread animal cruelty,
and the animals suffer unimaginable pain and distress.
Once again we ask you to please watch the videos of South Korea’s dog meat
industry: http://youtu.be/3uR8R8Mu70Q
And the petition: https://www.change.org/p/mayor-vartan-gharpetian-of-glendale-tell-sister-city-goseong-gun-korea-that-we-re-opposed-to-the-torture-consumption-of-dogs
These poor creatures 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 Goseong-gun,
especially Mayor Si-Han Oh , 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:
