Estimada Señora Alcaldesa de Segovia doña Clara Luquero de Nicolás
Miembros del Concejo Municipal:
Respetuosamente pedimos que tenga a bien observar estos videos
correspondientes al comercio de carne de perro en Corea del Sur:
¿Considera Usted que Segovia debería ser Ciudad Hermana de cualquier otra
que permita torturar y comer perros y gatos?
Por favor, inste al alcalde de Seoul Gangdong-gu Hae-Sik Lee a que ponga
fin a las granjas ilegales de perro, y a los mataderos, mercados, transportes y
restaurantes que utilicen productos de aquel origen.
Está en curso una petición en línea solicitando su apoyo para terminar con
la crueldad inherente a la industria de carnes de perro y gato en Corea del Sur:
Se solicita el favor de su respuesta.
Muchas gracias,

Subject: Segovia, Spain, sister city to Seoul Gangdong-gu , S. Korea
Dear Mayor Luquero de Nicolás,
dear City Council members:
Seoul Gangdong-gu became Sister city with Segovia in 2000.
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/mayor-clara-luquero-de-nicol%C3%A1s-of-segovia-spain-tell-sister-city-seoul-gangdong-gu-korea-that-we-re-opposed-to-the-torturing-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 as
well, 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 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 Seoul
Gangdong-gu, especially Mayor Hae-Sik 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:
