On July 11, the eve of the brutal Boknal “dog eating days,” Lady Freethinker joined forces with rescue and activist organization Save Korean Dogs to protest the brutal dog meat trade, gathering outside the Korean Consulate in Los Angeles.
Holding signs and banners denouncing dog meat, we marched in the area around the consulate building before going inside to personally deliver more than 600,000 petition signatures to stop the dog meat trade, signed by people across the globe calling for an end to the cruelty.
Thank you to all who attended the protest, and each of you who has signed a petition to add your voice! And special thanks to Heidi Leland and Susan Campbell for organizing the protest on behalf of Save Korean Dogs, and Nami Kim, founder of Save Korean Dogs, who has devoted her life to saving these animals.
Lady Freethinker will continue working to end dog and cat meat through widespread media attention, petitions, bus ads and partnerships with activists on the ground rescuing dogs and cats from the hands of butchers.
Progress is happening, and together we WILL end the dog and cat meat trade for good.
What’s New…
THE BRUTAL DOG MEAT TRADE IS SO SADISTIC, CRUEL,INHUMANE,VILE AND EVIL AND IT MUST STOP NOW!! THE WORLD IS WATCHING.
I abhor the dog & cat meat trade & I applaud every one of you that came out to protest it. The deliberate torturing of the animals before death is just soul crushing. HOWEVER…I can’t help but wonder how many of you went home & ate the flesh of another animal?? Pigs are just as intelligent as a dog or a 3 yr old child & yet they are locked in tiny cages, they are beaten with metal pipes & screamed at by the giant ag farm workers. They are allowed to suffer terribly with sores, eyes gouged out, prolapsed uteruses & no vet care; just allowed to suffer until they either die on their own or are sent to the slaughterhouse. That is just as wrong as what you are protesting here.
Such protests should be organized worldwide to help to win the case..Well done.
I’m so happy about all of the rescues, I truly believe that even if we were given the dominant rung on the ladder, I refuse to believe that’s what GOD intended. But, I’m curious…. does Lisa Vanderpump ever come to the other DOG MEAT PROTEST or doesn’t she venture out to less affluent parts of California?
YES! — KEEP UP THIS FIGHT! — UNTIL all OPERATIONS having to do with DOG / CAT MEAT are COMPLETELY DEMOLISHED & OBLITERATED — we’ve had enough of the depraved, unconscionable cruelty to Animals — STOP! — STOP! — STOP! — STOP!
Thank you for putting our voices into action!!! Let’s hope and pray for a positive result. May God bless us and all animals who needs help!
Please do not treat dogs or any animals or people w cruelty, Dogs are loyal innocent animals.
The dog meat trade is a disgraceful abomination that MUST be stopped worldwide. Dogs are loyal and devoted animal companions. They can be trained as search and rescue dogs, K9 police dogs, seeing-eye dogs and therapy dogs. They guard their human homes and protect our families. A dog will lay down its life for its master and slaughtering them for human consumption is vile, wicked and unbelievably cruel.
This is so wrong to eat dogs and those who support this are wrong they are gods creatures and he did to intend for this to happen you will have to answer for this.
Thank you to every person who fight to end the cruel and barbaric slaughtering of cats and dogs! The Korean people, just like the Chinese, have no empathy for other people or animals! Now, I hear that the Nairobi Governor, Mike Sonko wants to open up a dog meat trade! If he goes ahead things will get out of hand very quickly especially in an unruly place like Africa! Just go on line and look at how much barbaric behaiviour is going on in Africa as it is! Think about the Elephants, Lions, Leopards, and Hippos are being hunted and killed just for game and their bodies are left there to rot! The Elephants are slaughtered just for their tusks so what does this say about the African people?? There are very few African’s who are trying to conserve the wildlife but at every corner there’s a poacher trying to undo the good that a few do. This is wrong Sonko and you know it deep down!
Extreme abuse! This will not be tolerated, end this now!
Cruelty needs to STOP!
Keep up Gd work
Hi, I think my papers plus this site livingflorabuildings.blogspot.com might be appreciated…
Stop this now. Animals should not be abused and eaten. They have rights.
End this barbaric gruesome despicable senseless trade that the world does not need at all. Shame on the people that support and condone this trade. Dogs and Cats are our companions to love and cherish, not to consume.
I think the world has to get more involved. This is so brutal. These are such intelligent animals. They don’t need to suffer like this. This is not about poverty but total brutality. Those who do this are less than the dogs they kill. Total shame on them. Shame.
I have been signing petitions for twenty years about the dog meat trade in Korea. WHEN will the government make it illegal? When will it actually end? How many more dogs have to die? I”m going to Seoul next month. I have had a hard time with the decision to visit this or any country that allows such barbarism to exist. I need to know that actual progress is being made and that it will end. It must end.
Deliberate cruelty will reap an inescapable KARMIC consequence which will be exquisitely appropriate. These idiots should reflect on that , if they have no compassion , perhaps their own self preservation will kick in.
Deliberately inflicted cruelty will bring an inescapable KARMIC consequence . All who indulge in this brutality should remember this……
Great work LFT. Thanks to all who participated.
Thank You ! Yes, Ban all dog and cat meat trade EVERYWHERE and go vegan ,
STOP THIS HORROR YOU DEMONIC PSYCHOPATHS!!
GOD BLESS YOU FOR PROTESTING THE DOG MEAT TRADE. 🤗😘👼🐕
Please please end this terrible practice of brutally and violently killing dogs and cats!!!!! My heart is broken for the terrified, scared, sweet animals that have to endure this horrific death!
I am absolutely horrified at the fact that these people have to terrorise and butcher all these poor animals for festivals and as an animal lover especially dogs they are disgusting and vile. Why can’t they stick what is indigenous to their country. Us Scottish people love dogs and cats we regard them as part of the family and would never be without them as they give us so much joy and kindness and they also comfort us when we need it.
Stop the crazy cruelty.
What is wrong with you people? Have you no sense of consciousness?
How can you live with yourselves?
Let these animals have a safe, happy place. They deserve that.
You certainly want that for yourselves and your families.
How can you not have kindness for animals?
Well done to everyone that attended.
Please Korea end this sickening trade. There are better things to eat and we are not living in the 16th century.
Stop it or your trade in cars and electrical goods will suffer.
Well done to those wonderful ladies who organised the protest.
Il faut absolument arrêter ces atrocités!!!!!
Stop this barbaric killing of man’s best friends!
I don’t understand why people are so cruel it is almost as if they enjoy the suffering of creatures. You know we should share the planet with them. We should co exist side by side. I read stories of cruelty that makes my flesh crawl. The people who do this should understand that it is not acceptable to hurt and kill things for fun or to inflict pain As for eating dog meat I would rather starve to death. I love my two westies they mean the world to me. As for eating one of them I would kill myself first it’s truly disgusting
This should not be happening in a “civilized” world! From time immemorial dogs have faithfully and loyally stood by man’s side, helping him whenever they could. What kind of culture tortures and murders its best friend? My answer to that would be “a degenerate society, a culture of not caring, of brutality, of ignorance, of blind wanton rapacity”.
Please stop this horrible practice of murdering and torturing dogs!
Thank you for all that truly care, police, judges and all of us animal lovers! We have to stand up for them and protect them and put these abusers away, out of society, so they can’t hurt any animals again!!! They depend on us to protect them!!!
GOD BLESS YOU ALL!!!
TIME FOR WORLDWIDE CHANGE
