Lady Freethinker’s petition to end the horrific dog meat trade of Gimpo, S. Korea — known as the “Valley of Dog Meat” — has reached the hands of Mayor Ha-young Jung, delivered by LFT partner Save Korean Dogs along with a petition from Koreandogs.org.
More than 40,000 of you signed LFT’s petition, and your voices were heard.
Now, the mayor has requested that city officials create a blueprint to becoming dog-meat free. He also visited a city-owned dog shelter in Yong-in City, because Gimpo does not have one of its own.
We are a major step closer to shuttering the notorious city’s dog meat farms for good.

In Gimpo’s cruel and illegal dog meat trade, the innocent animals are forced into cramped steel cages covered in feces. Food and water are scarce. These dogs are robbed at a chance for a normal life and doomed to a terrifying end.
There is a misguided belief that a tortured dog tastes better, because of the adrenaline running through their veins. The dog butchers hang them, set them on fire, or boil them alive. In some cases, other dogs look on in horror and watch their cage companions die.
More than 1 million dogs are slaughtered like this and eaten every year.
Lady Freethinker — in collaboration with Save Korean Dogs — is now running bus ads in the city of Gimpo, sending the message to tens of thousands of people that dogs are family, not food.
No dog deserves to die to become someone’s dinner.
We will keep the pressure on until every dog meat farm is closed.
What’s New…
What is wrong with some of the human race!!! I am appalled with the news I receive about the cruelty to these animals.
We need and must educate more people, governors, presidents and more concerning this wasteful , hideous, cruel, senseless, painful, act concerning dogs, cats, and wild life..
Compassion for animals that’s all I ask.
We can´t still allowing these crimes. Stop this cruelty, it is time to evolve and to be better human beings.
Let’s hope they keep to their word.
I’m sorry but I will only believe this WHEN it actually happens. The government and officials in this gut-wrenchingly vile country do NOT give a damn about the treatment towards these innocent animals. In their pathetic, ignorant minds, the more the dog is abused and tortured BEFORE being horrifically killed, the meat will be tastier. These brain-dead psychopaths also believe that DOG and CAT meat will cure all their ailments, keep them cool in the summer, warm in the winter AND make the worthless, useless ‘men’ more virile…….as if this world needs more of these depraved, cruel, brutal, sadistic, barbaric POS breathing the same air as decent human beings. I just don’t know how these masses can sleep at night, look at themselves in the mirror and like what they see, its beyond my comprehension and utterly beyond belief that these ‘people’ can carry on this heinous atrocity day after day, week after week…….
Every year these horrific events come around. But BEFORE the actual events, these dogs are stolen, abused, tortured, abusively confined. This MUST stop! PERIOD!!! They bring such shame for Korea worldwide!! I hope those who have the power to stop this recognizes this and makes it illegal and brings an end to this torture!!!
By the comment made from vile and evil South Korea they intend to torture and murder the precious and innocent Dogs for consumption. South Korea should have be blown to hell during the South Korean War.
Cruelty needs to STOP!
Thank You ! Please find homes for all these lovely dogs !
Stop the Dog and Cat meat trade forever!!!!!
I am holding my breath until this vile practice is abolished for ever.
can you please also put dont eat cats as these are also family and not food,thank you.
Steven Sherlock – I agree with you. Also save the innocent and helpless Cats and Kittens from these vile and evil South Korean animal torturing monsters from hell.
They are also tortured to death by the vilest of animal torture, suffering and the vilest of agonising deaths, the same as the precious and innocent Dogs and Puppies endure.
Dog meat is cruel and inhumane and must be stopped!
That is the most sickening and disgusting thing i have ever heard what is next in this world eating humans?
All animal torturers and animal murderers must be put to death by the same unimaginable torture and agonising death these animal torturing and animal murderers commit against their defeneless and innocent victims.
Kill them all. Worldwide.
Stop killing animals now!!!!!
Please stop alaughtering animals, it brings shame on a Buddhist society which is supposed to be built on compassion
They think a tortured dog tastes better??? What the f$&@? These torturers are certifiably insane! I cannot even fathom the pain these poor animals endure, and their last thoughts of what humans are! This has GOT TO END! We are in the 21st century, not the 1500s!

These ‘festivals ‘ are a celebration of evil. Karma will not be kind.
SHAME YOU
This was long overdue crime which is happening in those places. OMG how could anyone open their mouths to eat these animals? I am speechless…Hard to fathom…
How this even became a thing for these people to do or to believe in is absolutely insane – Doesn’t this country know anything about love and respect all forms of life? This is what is wrong with this world – cruelty has over come and over run LOVE and RESPECT! The law must be made world wide anyone to harm animals in cruelty or neglect they become subjects in the testing laboratories to find cures and treatments for mankind so NO animals ever have to endure such ! Animals of all kinds land or sea or even sky their life’s matter just as well as mankind ! So we must ALL respect life forms of all types flesh, feathered, or fur, or Hyde’s they hurt and love as do humans so no more of this sick behavior any place in this world will ever be tolerated! Abusers must endure what they do to their victims if they survive it they spend the remainder of their lives in a lab – to better this world !
Please stop eating dog/cat
Merci à tous ces gens courageux qui font avancer les choses pour la cause animale
Thank you for all that you do.
