SAMPLE LETTER TO SOUTH KOREAN PRESIDENT, HIS EXCELLENCY,
HAE CHAN LEE
Dear President
Lee:
I
am horrified at the continued torture and consumption of Korea's companion
animals.
Even with the Korean Animal Protection Law for cats and dogs and a Ministry
of Health Law banning the consumption of dog-meat soup (boshintang), dogs
are still beaten, electrocuted, skinned alive and slaughtered by the thousands
for boshintang while cats are still beaten and boiled alive for rheumatism
remedies (goyangi soju).
PLEASE
IMMEDIATELY ENFORCE THE FOLLOWING:
The
Ministry of Education’s requirement to introduce and maintain a
public education campaign to teach modern, internationally accepted general-care
knowledge of cats and dogs, including the importance of spay-neuter surgery
and to address the many unfounded Korean myths surrounding their species.
The
Ministry of Agriculture's duty of office to outlaw the slaughter of cats
and dogs as well as their "passing the buck" to the Ministry
of Health.
The
Ministry of Health's duty of office to uphold and enforce Korea's current
law which bans dog-meat soup, as well as their "passing the buck"
to the Ministry of Agriculture.
The
allocation, through the Ministry of Finance, of reasonable budgets to
the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry
of Health to carry out their official responsibilities on behalf of not
only cats and dogs, but other animals as well.
I
WILL NOT BUY KOREAN GOODS, SUPPORT KOREAN BUSINESS, OR VISIT KOREA UNTIL
KOREANS STOP EATING DOGS AND CATS.
Signed,
Your name
