Description/History:
We are trying to stop the brutal slaying of dogs and cats in South Korea, (hanging, blow-torching, boiling dogs and cats alive, skinning alive and electrocution). These animals are caged night and day in small cages with no room to move, defecate, breath, some are dead and rigomortified under others.
Some dogs are still alive when they come out of the whirlpool of boiling water and to finish them off they are blowtorched to remove the rest of their fur. Cats are beaten to death in sack to make cat soup.
South Korea does have an Animal Protection Law 1991 but the government turns a blind eye and let these poor animals be killed in cruel inhumane ways. There are over 6000 resturants in South Korea that have dog and cat on the menu. 2 million dogs and cats are killed inhumanely each year to satisfy the need to eat dogs and cats. This must be stopped, no more pain for these animals.
Korean Government now is trying to legalise dogmeat trade through proposed "Hygienic Controls"
We refuse to support South Korea in its business, products and visit South Korea till animals laws are enforced and action is taken to stop this cruelty.

Petition:
We the undersigned request that the Korean President should end the policy to legalise the dogmeat trade.
Instead we ask that the President should promote the legislation that bans the slaughter of dogs and cats for food/medicine and prohibits the consumption of dog/cat meat.
Positive changes include:
1) No more cruel slaughter of dogs and cats,
2) No more pollution to the environment from the dogmeat trade,
3) No more unhygienic food,
4) Korea will no longer be viewed as a country of animal abusers.
