Take Action: Urge Korean Prime Minister to Strengthen Animal Protection Law

A series of shocking cruelties to animals, which are unparalleled and unprecedented to date, were recently reported in Korea. We therefore urge the Korean government to strengthen the Korean Animal Protection Law so that these cruelties can be prevented from happening again. Korea remains one of the few places in the world where dog meat is still eaten. The horrific conditions in which dogs are raised for meat on farms - as documented in Incheon City - are tragically all too common in Korea, as is also the case with pet breeding farms. Please take action and urge the Korean government to introduce a strong, enforceable amendment to the Animal Protection Law.

“Korean animal rescue organizations have been working so hard to make dog meat illegal, but the general public's response to the idea of banning dog meat in Korea has been always discouraging. This time is different. No media has ever covered the issue of dog meat this closely before. Many people are still in shock enough to actually do something about it.” --Youngmi Kim, PhD

Dear < Decision Maker >,

As an official with the power to make a difference, I urge you to please strengthen Korea's Animal Protection Law.

Sincerely,
