Anyang City: Quoted directly from the city’s homepage, "The word “Anyang“ itself means, in Buddhism, a cozy utopia where there is no pain and only joy, and where pain has been overcome. It is in Buddhism that there is a paradise where the body can rest and the mind is at ease." The helpless and defenseless population of this city however, know nothing but pain and suffering. Joy is unknown as at the hands of their abusers, dogs and cats are ruthlessly tortured. Anyang, a place that should be a utopia free of needless suffering and pain is still a place where dogs and cats are routinely treated cruelly, before being brutally slaughtered - so they can be served up as food and drinks for their many (so-called) ‘health food’ centers and restaurants. Let’s tell Anyang that the true meaning of a land of 'no pain, only joy’ is one where the dog and cat-meat trades no longer exist. Let's encourage the citizens on Anyang to show the world the true meaning of overcoming pain with acts of compassion by standing up and ending the dog and cat meat trade.
