Bonjour,

Voici les adresses des eurodéputés Français. Pour ceux qui n’auraient plus la lettre et les images (oui, on ne garde pas forcément ces horreurs dans notre ordinateur), je vous renvoie la lettre pour le président et les photos. Vous pouvez fractionner vos envois, mais il faut le faire. Nous devons être entendus! Par ailleurs, cette action pour les chiens et les chats de Corée ne peut que soutenir celles déjà engagées par les différents organismes et Associations qui se battent pour abolir cette barbarie. Rien ne se perd, tout est utile. Je compte sur vous toutes et tous. Avec Nancy Petit Jean nous faisons ce que nous pouvons pour diffuser. Il faut que ce mail le soit un maximum.

Pensez à tous ces malhreux. Depuis que j’ai vu (3 secondes, pas plus) la vidéo de Daylimotion et entendu des toutous hurler de douleur, je me suis dit: il faut agir!

Merci mille fois

Nina

Sample letter to copy and mail:

————————————————————————–

Dear President Lee:

I am horrified at the continued torture and consumption of Korea’s companion animals.

Even with the Korean Animal Protection Law for cats and dogs and a Ministry of Health Law banning the consumption of dog-meat soup (boshintang), dogs are still beaten, electrocuted, skinned alive and slaughtered by the thousands for boshintang while cats are still beaten and boiled alive for rheumatism remedies (goyangi soju).

PLEASE IMMEDIATELY ENFORCE THE FOLLOWING:

The Ministry of Education’s requirement to introduce and maintain a public education campaign to teach modern, internationally accepted general-care knowledge of cats and dogs, including the importance of spay-neuter surgery and to address the many unfounded Korean myths surrounding their species.

The Ministry of Agriculture’s duty of office to outlaw the slaughter of cats and dogs as well as their “passing the buck” to the Ministry of Health.

The Ministry of Health’s duty of office to uphold and enforce Korea’s current law which bans dog-meat soup, as well as their “passing the buck” to the Ministry of Agriculture.

The allocation, through the Ministry of Finance, of reasonable budgets to the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Agriculture, and the Ministry of Health to carry out their official responsibilities on behalf of not only cats and dogs, but other animals as well.

I WILL NOT BUY KOREAN GOODS, SUPPORT KOREAN BUSINESS, OR VISIT KOREA UNTIL KOREANS STOP EATING DOGS AND CATS.

Name, Town/city, Nationality, etc.
