Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui: Tell your Sister City, Daegu, South Korea, that you are opposed to the torture and consumption of dogs and cats.
Daegu became a Sister City with Hiroshima, Japan, in 1997.
Daegu is one of the largest dog meat suppliers and consumption cities in South Korea. Chilseong Dog Meat Market in the photos here is one of the largest dog meat markets in South Korea, where dogs in display cages are slaughtered while customers wait. In Daegu, there are countless dog meat shops, farms, slaughterhouses, markets, and restaurants where the dogs, who are tortured their entire lives, end up being slaughtered in the most inhumane ways, such as by electrocution, hanging, or beating; and then thrown into boiling water – sometimes while they are still alive. In many places, dogs are being killed in full view of other terrified, caged dogs. In addition, many abandoned and stolen former pets end up in this industry and are subject to the same cruelty.
We cannot stand by while Daegu continues to deceive us and inflict unimaginable cruelty on animals who consider humans guardians and companions. So we are now asking Hiroshima Mayor Kazumi Matsui to urge Daegu to stop the dog and cat meat industry in their city – an illegal, brutal, and diabolical industry.
