Asunto: Please Stop meat dog trade!

I am appalled to learn that the Korean Government is planning to introduce a policy on the hygienic control of dog meat. This will only pave a way towards a legal means of doing business for the illegal dog meat trade and greatly encourage the consumption of dog meat. I am genuinely distressed when I think of the devastating effect that this policy will have on countless loving Korean dogs and cats that are already dying in the millions each year. This is the result of the government’s total failure to either close down the dog meat restaurants or educate the public about the fraudulent health claims responsible for the senseless and shameful slaughter of these animals.

Government officials have, by their own admission, acknowledged that this is an unpopular move and have admitted there is no consensus, and certainly no mandate from the Korean public to further legitimize the dog meat trade. Why the government should be seeking to appease a small minority of dog-eaters is therefore beyond anyone’s comprehension. If the Korean government is truly committed -as it claims - to reduce animal abuse, then it should stop immediately all measures designed to legitimize dog meat consumption. Instead, it should incorporate all dogs and cats within the definition of "companion animals", and then do everything it can to strengthen and especially enforce the existing animal protection law. No-one will be fooled by the Korean government paying lip-service to the idea of animal protection whilst simultaneously attempting to legalize the vile trade in dog meat.

Dogs and cats are not a main source of food in Korea, like cows or chickens, few Koreans eat them for any other reason than for fraudulent health benefits. They have much more in common with bears and tigers who’s body parts are also sold in another illegal and shameful industry. The dog meat trade is an industry based upon consumer fraud and cruelty to animals. It is your duty to protect both animals and consumers from this illegal industry by enforcing the law and educating the public.

As President, you have power to stop your government’s unfortunate and ill-judged attempts to legalize the dog meat trade. Failure to do so will bring about the greatest shame yet upon your country and even more misery to millions of Korean animals.

Sincerely,

As the Minister of Agriculture, you have power to stop your government’s unfortunate and ill-judged attempts to legalize the dog meat trade. Failure to do so will bring about the greatest shame yet upon your country and even more misery to millions of Korean animals.

Estimado...

Estoy consternada/o al enterarme de que el Gobierno de Corea planea introducir una política de control higiénico de carne de perro. Esto simplemente preparará el camino hacia los instrumentos legales para hacer negocios con el hoy ilegal comercio de carne de perro y propiciará enormemente el consumo de la misma. Estoy realmente acongojada/o cuando pienso sobre el devastador efecto que esta política tendrá en los innumerables perros y gatos coreanos que ya están muriendo por millones cada año. Este es el resultado de una falla total del Gobierno tanto para clausurar los restaurantes de carne de perro como de educar al público acerca de los argumentos fraudulentos sobre beneficios para la salud, responsables de la vergonzosa masacre de estos animales.

Los funcionarios de Gobierno -por sí mismos- han reconocido que es una jugada impopular y han admitido que no hay consenso, y ciertamente no hay presión del público coreano para llevar a la legitimación del comercio de carne de perro. La razón por la que el gobierno debería estar buscando apaciguar a una pequeña minoría de consumidores de perro está por consiguiente más allá de la comprensión de cualquiera. Si el Gobierno coreano está verdaderamente comprometido –como dice- a reducir el abuso a los animales, entonces debería poner fin inmediatamente a todas las medidas delineadas para legitimizar el consumo de estos animales. Además, debería incorporar a todos los perros y gatos dentro de la definición de “animales de compañía”, y entonces hacer todo lo que pueda para fortalecer y especialmente reforzar la actual ley de protección animal. Nadie estaría haciendo bromas con que el Gobierno Coreano aparenta estar de acuerdo con la idea de la protección animal mientras simultáneamente intenta legalizar el vil comercio de carne de perro.

Perros y gatos no son el recurso de comida principal en Korea, como lo son otras especies animales, unos pocos coreanos los comen por cualquier otra razón que no sea los fraudulentos beneficios en la salud. Ellos tienen mucho más en común con los osos y los tigres cuyas partes corporales son también vendidas en otra vergonzosa industria ilegal. Es obligación del Gobierno proteger tanto a los animales como a los consumidores de esta industria ilegal reforzando la ley y educando al público.

Como Presidente, usted tiene el poder de poner fin al desafortunado intento de legalizar el comercio de carne de perro, juzgado como insalubre. No hacerlo traerá la mayor de las vergüenzas a su país y más aún, miseria a millones de animales coreanos.

Atentamente:
