Korean street campaign against genetically modified animals.

Newsletter from the Voice for Animals

 

Our street campaign to genetically modified animals.

 

After the public hearing, animal oranizations are staging street campaign

against the genetically modified animals. The goal to demand the National

committe on bioethics to coniser animal welfare in their legislation

proposal.

Members from the Voice for Animals, Korean Alliance to Prevent Cruelty to

Animals, Animals Freedom Korea, Korea Vegetarian World Union, ADMH and other

volunteers from environmental groups including the KFEM appeared in the

street of MyungDong, one of the busiest part of Seoul City on the 2nd, 3rd,

4th and 5th of June and attracted many passers-by. Their reactions to the

horrible pictures of suffering animals were not any different to those of

animal protection activists. So far we could gain about 3,000 citizens names

and their remarks on the practice. These will be presented to the National

Advisory Bioethics Commission and Mimistry of Science and Technology.

 

Among the remarks of the citizens who participated in our efforts include:

" This is unbelievable.This is too horrific. "

" How could a human being this so cruel to animals. "

" I never knew this kind of cruelty in my life before.I really never knew

this before. "

" Please, save thse animals. Scientists and government should know that we

care. "

 

The street campaining will still go on every weekends as we didnt expect

this much interest to this new fact of the citizens. Also other attempts are

still being made, including talking to journalism and trying to find more

cases that we can make public so that this issue also becomes known to the

nation.

 

The hottest issue on the law is about research with human embryo but also it

has a section for animals, having 7 provisions. We are very sorry to let you

know that using animals for virtually for every purpose is allowed. We will

be able to share the contents with you on your requests.
