Management, Sir, Madam:
This is more than a question of “should man eat this type of meat?”: these
are despicably cruel and uncivilised trades, which affect all levels of society
in Korea: the children, who have to witness such overt acts of violence – dogs
being electrocuted or beaten to death in front of them; the citizens who have to
live with the harmful environmental impacts in their neighbourhoods – filthy,
unregulated effluent from dog farms, the noise of the suffering creatures, the
stench from the uncleaned, excrement-filled cages; the national (and global)
issue of meat entering the food chain which is not fit for human consumption –
the animals are often fed on slops and fly-blown waste; the impending health
crisis through the worldwide indiscriminate use of antibiotics – the animals are
often pumped full of antibiotics to control infection and disease that are rife
in these neglected creatures.
This is a two billion dollar industry – but one which has no place in a
modern society, and certainly no place in a country that is as successful and
prosperous as South Korea, a country which boasts achievements in urban
development, manufacturing, technology and now the 2018 PyeongChang Olympic
venue.
We are sure that you would never condone any inhumane or deliberately cruel
act to any creature in your city, or country, but we want to remind you that it
is not enough to just sit by and quietly disapprove of your fellow countrymen’s
shameful behaviour – you must stand up and take positive action to bring about a
permanent end to the unacceptable dog and cat meat trades, and so end the
abominable cruelty that is routinely involved in all parts of these
trades.
What can you do? You can start by making it your company’s policy to ban
the consumption of dog or cat meat products by your employees; you can educate
your employees towards a more compassionate and understanding view of their
companion animals; you can lobby your government to enact and enforce better
animal protection laws, which would thereby end these trades.
We urge you to openly voice your opposition to these trades and, by doing
so, let your customers know that you want your country to change – because,
right now, many of your customers across the globe are finding it morally
difficult to buy products from a company such as yours, who only seems concerned
about profit, profit, greed … and profit.
Please, watch this video, see the truth for yourself – and then take
action. https://youtu.be/3uR8R8Mu70Q
Thank you,
Sincerely:
