Korea Herald reported today, May 16, that “Dog meat farmers staged a protest near the National Assembly on Wednesday, calling for equal treatment as other animal farms and demanding survival rights. Some 200 members of Korea Dog Farm Council members took to the streets in front of the ruling Democratic Party of Korea headquarters in Yeouido, Seoul, and demanded the lawmakers introduce a grace period for dog farms to install excreta treatment facilities.” “In February, the National Assembly passed a revision to the Act on the Management and Use of Livestock Excreta, mandating animal farms operating without permits to install excreta treatment facilities. While all farms were given a grace period of six months, dog meat farms were subjected to the law immediately when it went into effect in March.” Click here to read: http://www.koreaherald.com/view.php?ud=20180516000925 Click here for calls to action: http://koreandogs.org/what-you-can-do/call-for-action/ [SaveKoreanDogs.org (Nami Kim) needs your support today to continue their important work of shutting down dog farms/ slaughterhouses and rescue dogs from being brutally slaughtered.] Your donations go towards rescues, looking after the dogs in the shelter, vet bills for medical treatments vaccinations and spaying/neutering, shelter maintenance/repairs, staff’s wages, transporting the dogs, heating (during winter time), dog foods, treats and so many other bills.
