Every year approximately TWO MILLION dogs are inhumanely caged, tortured and used for food in South Korea! The dogs are crammed like vegetables into crates. When a customer makes a selection, the dogs are roughly yanked from the cage and intentionally abused before being slaughtered for the sale.
In Defense of Animal’s partner in South Korea recently shut down a dog meat farm in the Gyeonggi Province. While this is a huge victory for the dogs of South Korea, more must be done.
This practice of killing and eating dogs is not because of some long-standing cultural tradition. In fact, most Koreans find the cruelty and killing appalling. Yet it continues because it is backed by government indifference and because profit-driven industry forces aggressively promote the superstition that the more the dog suffered in his death, the more virility a man will experience when he eats the flesh.
Please join IDA and our Korean colleagues by participating in The International Day of Action! There are demonstrations happening all over the world but don’t worry if there isn’t one in your area. This year we are also having a “virtual demonstration”!
It is very easy to take part in the “virtual demonstration” – just change your profile photo on your Facebook or Twitter pages to our “Sign” (provided in this blog entry) and post this petition to the South Korean Embassy in your status line or tweet it to your friends! By encouraging your friends and followers to sign this petition – you’ll be urging the Korean government to strengthen and enforce animal protection laws so that these cruelties can be brought to an end! So even if you can’t be outside an embassy next Tuesday – you can still let those decision makers inside the embassy know you care about how these dogs are treated and you want them to do something about it!

Ke cattiveria, ma come si fa ad uccidere animali così innocenti? Nn capisco prp la mentalità di questa gente!!
io odio chi maltratta gli animali!!!
STOP THIS HORROR!!!
Cage the humans, free the animals !
please stop!
Stop this cruelty
please stop !!not food the dogs!!
ces cultures cruelles sont inhumaines !!!
Torturing and eating a dog, the animal most trusting and caring of humans, is probably the ugliest thing a human can do. STOP IT!!!
SURELY THIS TYPE OF ATROCITY SHOULD BE STOPPED WHEREVER IT’S HAPPENING IN THE WORLD – THESE ARE PRECIOUS SOULS FOR GODS SAKE
It will all come back to the jerks in one way or another someday. Love to the animals..
How can someone be so cruel to such a wonderful Animal????
Why are Humans so damn cruel in this world? We don’t have anyone who eats US!! Anyway, being CRUEL to animals is Barbaric!!!
Please stop this continuing suffering and killing of sentient beings. It not only causes immense pain to the animals, but it lessons us as humans as well.
Cruelty in the guise of helping virility-how Bizzare!!
I can’t find words for this. How can anyone think making animals suffer is a good thing? Virility for the man who eats this meat? This has got to be a joke! Enjoying torturing wether it’s to humans or animals are a clear sign of a sick mind and whoever enjoys it should be locked away in prison or a mental institution.
Savages… what else can you call such people. Next for virility will be human meat….when when these myths stop and people start getting intelligent. Disgusting.
This is no longer needed or acceptable behavior. This must end.
s.v.p arrêtez ces gestes inacceptables l’horreur ,ils ne méritent pas se sort,ils sont remplis d’amour,ils sont nos meilleurs amis
stoppppppppppppppp à la barbarie et à la consommation de nos animaux
assassin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This is way past time for these types of atrocities against animals to stop; how embarassing and disappointing that it still goes on – please practice compassion for ALL life!
pleeeaase stop the idiot human population from doing this!
STOOOOOOOPPPPPPP!!!!
WHY DOES IT ALWAYS SEEM TO COME DOWN TO MEN AND THEIR STUPID APHRODISIACS? I pray that this ignorance and cruelty will come back to haunt them!!!!
This needs to stop!
Only ignorant people eat dogs…
What can we do?
please need to do something
is very good to have many pages for the protection of animals, or against animal abuse.
but only announce what is happening. They do nothing to help them
clear that in some way to make known their stories already is helping
but it needs something more than just talk.
Although it is very dicil that neither I know how you can help.
Because politicians do not care a damn.
We must put an end to these atrocities!
No Good
au nom de quoi cette haine et cruaute envers le monde animal
There is NOTHING virile about a man who tortures ANYTHING. Breeding and slaughtering dogs for human consumption is not only disgusting and horrible to most people in most countries on this planet, even if they are not dog lovers, but should be outlawed worldwide.
Les chiens du sud de la Corée vivent un véritable enfer!! Il faut leur venir en aide!!
Stop this cruelty ASAP!!!
So much brutality and cruelty are unacceptable and a shame to us all!
PLS IT’S 21 CENTURY DON’T BE SO CRUEL ,ANIMALS HAVE THE SAME RIGHTS LIKE US
signed and shared.
I hate what we humans do to all animals.
For God sake!! The notion of killing and eating dog flesh because of superstition that men would achieve more virility is whacked!!! So inhumane and selfish. Two million dogs a year is insane. Why not a rat?? Bet their flesh is tasty.
STOP KILLING OUR 4 LEGGED FRIENDS. HOW WOULD YOU FEEL IF THIS WAS DONE TO YOU.
How can people be so cruel???? I hope bad karma gets them.
Please STOP!!!!!!! This is too brutal and horrifying to contineu!!
This is horrible!
Stop murdering dogs!
