Subject: Queensland, Australia, Friendship State with Gyeongsangnam-do
Province, S. Korea
Dear Premier Palaszczuk,
dear Cabinet Members:
Gyeongsangnam-do Province became Friendship State with Queensland in
2008.
The horrific dog-meat trade and consumption is currently being practiced in
that city, 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 under deliberate
torture.
We ask you to please watch the videos of South Korea’s dog meat industry:
And to take notice of the petition: https://www.change.org/p/premier-annastacia-palaszczuk-of-queensland-australia-tell-friendship-state-gyeongsangnam-do-korea-that-we-re-opposed-to-the-torture-of-dogs
These poor creatures cannot speak for themselves which is why I am writing
on their behalf.
I believe that your State wishes to be made aware of this ongoing issue as
well, and not want to be affiliated with a Province 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 S. 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
Gyeongsangnam-do Province, especially Acting Governor Kyung-Ho Han, 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:
