Dear Anneke Andries,
Thank you for bri...Reply: ----<br />Dear Anneke Andries,<br />Thank you for bringing this important issue to our attention.<br /> Chapel Hill and the Seoul Guro district exchanged visits ten years ago but have not communicated since and, so, we were unaware of this situation.<br /> Chapel Hill strongly believes in the humane treatment of all living things and support the efforts of organizations like the Humane Society International and SaveKoreanDogs.org who are working on the ground in South Korea and other Asian countries to rescue and relocate animals, raise awareness about animal cruelty and health risks and to strengthen animal protection laws.<br /> We have contacted our Congressional representatives to encourage them to consider House Resolution 30 and to suggest that Representative Alcee Hastings (Fla) add South Korea to that resolution.<br /> In the near future, we encourage you to share this information with the new United States' Ambassador to the Republic of Korea, when they are appointed, and to ask for their assistance.<br /> Again, thank you for your advocacy.<br />Sincerely,<br /><br /><br />--<br />Pam Hemminger<br />Town of Chapel Hill Mayor<br />405 Martin Luther King Jr Blvd<br />Chapel Hill, NC 27514<br />919 968-2714 ---------<br />Anneke Andrieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06292118726621001873noreply@blogger.com
