Korean Government's CHEAP TRICK for Legal Legitimization of Dogmeat Trade

[Guest guest]

CHEAP TRICK

BY KOREAN GOVERNMENT

TO LEGALIZE DOG MEAT!

 

 

 

Korean Government¡¯s ¡°Cheap Trick¡±

 

 

On March 9th 2005, the Prime Minister of Korea announced the

Sanitary Management Policy of Dogs for Meat. It is the first step

the Korean Government is taking to legalize the slaughter of DOGS

for human consumption.

 

 

This policy was announced after the Korean Government informed

Korean Animal Protection Groups that the Government would not pursue

this policy and told them to stop sending petitions to oppose the

policy of legalizing Dog Meat in Korea.

 

 

For many years, the regulatory status of Dogs has been intentionally

kept in a state of legal limbo by the Korean government. This

allowed government officials to placate local and foreign animal

rights groups by telling them that Dog Meat in Korea was not legal.

While at the same time, turning a blind eye to its¡¯ wide spread

practice in Korea.

 

 

Korean Animal Protection Groups have been campaigning to make the

practice of eating Dogs clearly illegal and to properly enforce such

a law. The Korean Government, however, proved that they have no

intention of making dog meat illegal. On the contrary, they are

taking the first step to make it legal by re-interpretation of the

definition of ¡°FOOD¡± as ¡°anything edible¡± in the current KFDA¡¯s

(Korean Food & Drug Administration) food safety regulation.

 

 

At the same time, the Korean Government is revising the Animal

Protection Law that will separate Dogs for Meat and Dogs for Pets,

and providing legitimacy to Dog Meat Farms by requiring them to

register. This is how Dog Meat was legalized in some isolated

parts of China.

 

 

IS DOG OUR FRIEND OR OUR FOOD?

 

 

Dogs that are slaughtered for MEAT in Korea are not just native dogs

called Noo-rung-ie, which is what the Korean Government have been

saying to foreigners. In reality, all breeds and types of dogs are

killed for Meat in Korea. No breed of Dog is safe from being

slaughtered for FOOD in Korea.

 

 

 

PLEASE HELP US STOP

THE KOREAN GOVERNMENT

FROM LEGALIZING DOG MEAT!
