South Korea held a local election on June 13. Bloomberg’s reported: “South Korea President Moon Jae-in’s ruling party won 14 of 17 mayoral and gubernatorial races” and “The ruling Democratic Party also won 11 of the 12 vacant parliamentary seats”. The Democratic Party is considered to be a more liberal and progressive party, and we are hopeful that our campaigns against the dog and cat meat trade has a chance of getting their attention, more attention than from their predecessors. Nami and the SaveKoreanDogs.org team members are trying to arrange a meeting with the newly- elected mayor of Ansan. Please sign and share this petition so that they can bring it with them to the meeting. Korean internet searches resulted in 202 health food shops; and 128 dog meat restaurants within and around the Ansan area. That means Ansan is a major dog meat producing and dog meat consumption city!! Let's get the attention of this new mayor, and make him aware that the world is watching and that we want change.
