No to leglaising dog meat
from Marita Berggren (Sweden)

Dear Friends of Dogs,

I have heard some people saying that there is nothing wrong in eating dogs and that it's only cruelty that matters. To my horror, some pro-dog meat people are now using this type of view to support their attempt to legalise dog meat.

I must say that all of my body and soul says "no" to eating dogs. To me this is close to cannibalism. The people involved in this "dirty business" have shown that this is not because of lack of meat as this meat is the most expensive meat". The torture involved in this is a terrible part of it but we
must be against the dogmeat "in a whole". If we start talking about "nice" and "peaceful" killing then we "leave the door open" to kill dogs and how are we supposed to control that the dogs are killed in "a peaceful way"?

We must stop this business! Dogs are not to be eaten!!!!!!!! That is my definite opinion. It is really unethical to eat dogs whether we kill them by torture or in a "nice way". I´m not a religious
person but I think that this business is an example of when we, human beings, are going too far and grabs too much ....

with love,

Marita

No to Korean goods
from Alberto Garcia (Portugal)

Dear Friends of Dogs,

Yesterday was a happy day for me. I bought a new car! My wife wanted the Kia Sorento sx top (40.500 euros aprox). Unfortunately I had to ask her to choose other model from other company. "Why?" she asked. I told her that if I caught one of my dogs, put a rope around his neck, beat him with a wood stick to death and ate him just for a barbaric tradition or superstition, for money and business, she would try to stop me and would do anything to stop me from doing it again. I told her this is exactly what Koreans had been doing to their dogs. She understood and we ended up buying land rover freelander.

I will not buy from companies from a country who torture and kill millions of dogs like you Koreans do. I am telling all my family and friends about what's happening to dogs and cats in Korea. I'm doing this because I truly belive that Koreans can stop that if they want. That's Korea's option. Some days ago, on the Sky news, under the title of "Animal Cruelty", I saw once again the suffering and death of the victims of the South Korea's so called cultural habit of eating men's best friends. I'm not going to give up. I will not let down the dogs and cats in Korea

I support all your efforts to end the killing and torture of dogs and cats in Korea.
