SPEAK OUT!
"Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it’s the only thing that has."

Mans Best Friend... Betrayed.
In Korea MILLIONS of dogs and cats are killed each year for food.
Illegal and unsanitary dog farms are hidden away in the countryside where breeders raise their stock for butchers. 30% are stolen from families who love them. The rest are homeless dogs, captured by butchers and sold in open markets. Dog are electrocuted, strangles or bludgeoned to death. The dirty industry is prolifterated by the myth that dog meat is healthy.
While many Koreans regard dogs as companions, cats are often looked upon as pests and therefore suffer worse cruelty. Companions and strays may be killed by being placed in sacks and pounded against the ground. They are also boiled alive so their "juices" can be extracted for supposed health tonics which butchers claim can be used to treat rheumatism.
How you can help...
PLEASE SIGN PETITON to Stop Killing Dogs at...
Please ask the Korean Ambassador to the U.S. to pass an amendment to the Animal Protection Law. Without a proper Animal Protection Law, the dog and cat meat trade will be impossible to stop.
