Commissioner’s Office, Washington County
Subject: Washington County, sister city to Daegu Dalseo-gu, S. Korea
Dear Chairman Duyck.
Dear County Commissioners.
Daegu Dalseo-gu became Sister city with Washington County in 1991.
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 extreme and widespread animal cruelty,
and the animals suffer unimaginable pain and distress.
For your information:
And the petition: https://www.change.org/p/chairman-andy-duyck-of-washington-county-tell-sister-city-daegu-dalseo-gu-korea-that-we-re-opposed-to-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 Daegu
Dalseo-gu, especially Mayor Tae-Hoon Lee, 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:
