Dear Activist,

 

Braving the winter weather and holding signs that read: “Korea: Stop

Cruel and Illegal Dog Consumption,†in Korean and English, a caged

member of In Defense of Animals (IDA) and other activists protested the

Korean government’s refusal to enforce laws prohibiting the beating,

hanging, burning, electrocution, and boiling alive of dogs and cats for

consumption. The event was covered by two news agencies. The day

following the demonstration, Korean media reported that the Korean

Ministry of Agriculture would be revising animal protection laws, which

would provide broader defense measures. The new law would classify

different types of animal cruelty and toughen disciplinary rules. In

addition, it would require each city and province across the country to

set up animal shelters.

 

You can help by writing to the Ministry of Agriculture thanking him for

revising the law and urging him to enforce existing animal protection

laws.

 

Write to:

HUH, SANG-MAN

The Ministry of Agriculture & Forestry

Gwacheon Government Complex Joongang-1 dong,

Gwacheon city, Gyungki-do

South Korea 427-760

 

E-mail : minister

Telephone : (822) 500-1501~2

 

If you would like to receive more leaflets to distribute, can organize

an event in your area, or if there is anything I can do to assist you,

please do no hesitate to contact me.

Sincerely,

 

Kristie Phelps
