Write Letters

Please write to the Korean Government (direct your protest letter to the Prime Minister and the Minister of Justice), Media, and your Representative telling them that Korea should stop trying to legalize dog & cat meat and begin to:

Stop all their attempts to legalise the dog meat trade - no hygienic control of dogmeat

Include all dogs and cats in the definition of "Pet Animals"

Enforce existing and future animal protection laws

Protect all dogs & cats in both the markets & countryside

Introduce clear penalties for slaughtering & selling of dogs & cats for food or medicine

Educate the public about the myths of dog & cat meat products

Contact Information for Korean Government Officials

Note: Though we try to keep these contacts up to date, we are not always able to keep up with the ever-changing Korean government. For a current list of Korean ministers, click here
