The citizens of Siheung apparently think that their “garden city” is the “gate of Asia connected to the world”. A lovely concept, but one that falls short of the image that many people in the rest of the world will hold of Siheung once they are aware of the stark fact that Siheung also harbours a brutal and thriving dog-meat trade. With around 205 dog-meat restaurants in and around this city, hundreds of thousands of dogs are being bred and kept in filthy, inhumane conditions, before being subjected to cruel and sadistic methods of slaughter, in order to supply these outlets and to satisfy the appetites of those living in their “comfortable residential districts”. Siheung “the center of international business”, and one that “will transform itself into a high-tech, culture, leisure and tourist city” … Back to the drawing board, Siheung: international business people and tourists will not be impressed by these slogans or your brutal dog-meat trades. So, end these trades now, Siheung, and then you will become the tourist attraction you aspire to be.
