Dear County Executive Baker,
dear County Council members:
Cheonan, S. Korea, became Friendship city with Prince George’s County in
2017.
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
(warning, shocking images) :
And to take notice of the petition: https://www.change.org/p/county-executive-rushern-l-baker-iii-of-prince-george-s-county-tell-friendship-city-cheonan-s-korea-that-we-re-opposed-to-the-torture-eating-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 Cheonan,
especially Mayor Bon-Yeong Gu, 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!
South Korea may have 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:
