Tell South Korea that burying animals alive is cruel

Tell South Korea that burying animals alive is cruel

The Issue

Outbreaks of foot-and-mouth disease and avian flu recently caused havoc on the animal population of South Korea.  Unfortunately, rather than taking preventative measures and vaccinating the animals or even euthanizing them once the diseases began to spread, officials in the country chose to bury more than 8 million animals alive.  Though vaccinations have since been distributed, the cull continues as the diseases spread rapidly.

Please sign this petition and demand that South Korea refrain from burying animals alive!
