Press Release for Hawai’i Demonstration — August 9th 2. Information Demonstration in New York — August 11th 3. Greyhound Demonstration in London — September 3rd August 7, 2002 1. Press Release for Hawai’i Demonstration — August 9th FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: ANIMAL RIGHTS ACTIVISTS TO PROTEST CRUELTY TO ANIMALS IN KOREA Graphic photographs of Korean Dog and Cat killings to be displayed Friday, August 9, 2002 7:30 am - 8:30 am Korean Consulate: 2756 Pali Hwy (ewa side- across the Catholic Church) Concerned compassionate people will gather at the entrance of the Korean Consulate in Honolulu to express our profound sadness and anger with the Korean government for allowing the abuse of dogs and cats to continue, even though it has been banned. This is not about human nutrition or health; it is not about culture. It is about inexplicable cruelty to helpless animals. ARH is holding this protest in support of International Aid for Korean Animals founded by Kyenan Kum. Ms. Kum has documented the squalid crowded conditions at the markets and the deliberate infliction of maximum pain to cats and dogs, including hanging, bludgeoning, burning and boiling alive, in the mistaken superstition that torture enhances the health benefits of eating their flesh. This weekend will be the third of Bok days during which large numbers of dogs and cats are killed and eaten in Korea.

Greyhound Demonstration in London — September 3rd Action Alert – Stop the Export of Australian Greyhounds to Asia When: Tuesday, September 3, 2002 , 12 noon Where: Outside the Australia House, Australian High Commission, London, Strand, WC2B 4LA (located on the corner of the Aldwych and the Strand) Greyhound Action International was established to protect greyhounds worldwide from the inherent cruelty in greyhound racing, and to ultimately abolish greyhound racing. Recently, greyhound racing has been introduced to Korea, exporting the dogs from Australia with plans to create breeding facilities. This will no doubt boost the dogmeat industry in Korea. Greyhound racing is already underway in Vietnam, Macau and China, with future plans to expand to Cambodia and the Philippines, all countries known for dog consumption. The ultimate fate of these dogs is the same as in Korea. For further information on the export of greyhounds to Asia, contact: Greyhound Action International P.O.
