2. Korean Government Seeks to Legalize Sale of Dog Meat

IDA has learned from our colleagues at Animal Freedom Korea (AFK) that the Ministry of the Office for Government Policy Coordination in Korea plans to legalize the sale of dog meat by setting standards for hygienic slaughter and processing. The Ministry recently completed a report on "the hygienic control of dog meat," and is about to open an internal debate. Under current Korean law, dogs cannot be sold as food, but the law is not enforced. If the Ministry's plans for hygienic control succeed, it will effectively legalize the dog meat market.
 
If the sanitary and environmental problems are so serious as to require government intervention, then the Korean Government must ban dog meat - not legalize it - in order to protect its citizens. AFK participated in the policy discussion for the hygienic control of dog meat and strongly opposed the measure. The group is actively working to block all efforts to legalize dog meat in Korea.

The sale of dog meat can only be legalized if the scheme is approved by the Ministry of Agriculture and Forestry (MAF), which is responsible for the hygienic control of livestock. However, the MAF has already stated that it is impossible to hygienically control dog meat. In addition, the people of Korea must support legalization for it to take effect. The fact is, very few Koreans eat dog meat and most wish to see it banned. Despite this, the Ministry of the Office for Government Policy Coordination continues to seek legalization.


 
Please write polite letters to Korean Government officials and let them know that for the health of their people and for the millions of dogs who are already suffering unimaginable cruelties, they must not legalize the sale of dog meat.

E' orribile come quello che facciamo noi a maiali mucche e altri animali. Nessuno può criticare queste usanze introdotte in un altro paese finchè non inizieremo noi in occidente a rispettare tutti gli animali.

a me non fa più impressione di quello che succede qua.
non so se sia strano, ma per me non cambia nulla se nel piatto ho mucca, panda, rinoceronte o bambino.
tanto sono così debole che mi schifo solo se vedo l'animale intero.
(sensi di colpa).

Fox in effetti nn è che questo sia più orribile di cosa capita da noi sia ben chiaro nn è che noi pensiamo che i coreani sono cattivoni e qui è tutto rose e fiori ma se c'è l'occasione di dare una mano a un gruppo che opera là perchè no?
Certo magari se si parla di cani qui, si cerca di fare leva anche sui sentimenti pseudo-cinofili di pseudo-animalisti nostrani ( tipo chi porta il cane dal toelettatore alla moda) ma se serve alla causa degli animali che male c'è?
