The suffering endured by the tethered dogs in South Korea is tragic and sickening. These dogs deserve better instead of being neglected, tightly tethered and not given nutritious food. They are never brought inside a shelter in inclement weather when they suffer enormously. SK is urged to enforce humane animal actions and not leave dogs to die outside with no regard. It is time to do something about the suffering!
I respectfully ask that China enacts a ban on the brutal, inhumane dog and cat meat trade, you have already made great steps forward in this regards but there is a long way to go. Sentient beings need to be protected and you have already recognized this.
I am signing because these animals are pets. They are highly intelligent animals that have been domesticated for millions of years as peoples pets. There are laws in place but not abided. Hopefully we can do some change by bringing these petitions to law makers! Save these babies!
I care because animals are emotional and intelligent beings and should be treated with love and kindness. Unlike us humans, they’re providing us unconditional love all the time and we are responsible for their welfare. I am beyond shocked that some countries are still so primitive and don’t understand what I gift animals are to us. However, we have the power to change this, by coming together and educating those still in the dark. Then, they will have no choice but to make necessary mindset adjustments and animals will be treated the way they should be, with love and care. Those who resist or don’t get it, should pay consequences because they are rotten human beings and there’s no sympathy for that!
There are more than enough adoptable dogs and cats on the streets and in shelters. There is no need for puppy mills. It is unethical to keep female dogs merely to produce saleable offspring. You wouldn't approve of women being treated that way.
Animals have lives like humans, they just have biological jobs they provide on the planet. They are not food or entertainment or slaves. They understand family and they understand evil. Koreas treatment to animals is evil and should be stopped and ended permanently.
