South Korea: News And ACTIONS For The Dog Meat Trade – Lets Stop It !

 

“Over 1 Million Dogs Being Raised for Food in Appalling Conditions”

 

The Korea Bizwire reported on June 23 that “On June 22, Rep. Lee Jung Mi of the Justice Party and animal rights activist group Korea Animal Rights Advocates KARA held a press conference at the National Assembly in Yeouido to publicly disclose the state of dog meat farms in Korea.  Beginning in August of last year, an investigation into the general practices of 20 dog meat farms revealed horrifying conditions. Dogs were kept in tiny steel cages so small that the animals could not even stretch out properly.”

Bucheon Mayor Kim Man-Soo publicly suggests that his city become dog meat-free.

On June 23rd, Bucheon Mayor Kim Man-Soo posted a message on his personal Facebook page asking, “How about our city going without dog meat?” Nami Kim had personally delivered our online petition signatures to Mayor Kim Man-Soo two weeks ago, and had a lengthy meeting with him discussing this issue.

Our petition to the Mayor is to thank him for all his efforts to end the dog meat trade in his city so far, which is virtually unheard of in Korean cities and government. It is very important to encourage him to make Bucheon the first “Dog Meat-Free City” in Korea. We would like Mayor Kim to be the example for other Mayors and Governors.

Thank the kind Mayor for his actions –

Give Us This Day Our Daily ……….. Bread ?

Hello Mark,
I send you the promised article about meat eating.
I have been inspired by the beautiful photo exhibition in Berlin, I have seen the topic from a different perspective!
Best regards

Venus

 

This photo, taken in 1963, was especially noticeable from me at a photo exhibition in Berlin.


Yes! So we always asked at the table at home: “Give us our daily bread today, Lord!”
The word “bread” was symbolic, in fact meat was mostly eaten.
Today, as then, we look at the corpses that are served on our table as the right food.
We prefer the clubs, the ribs, the bellies, the breast parts of massacred animals as our daily bread.

The meat industry, today as then, is particularly concerned with advertising on meat.
The turkey, the pig, the rabbit are nicely done and deliciously served in everyday life as in festivals.
But the greatest effort of the meat industry is that the life, the misery, the production of these animals remain invisible at all.


Even more invisible is the fact that the body of a turkey is actually the body of a child who dies of hunger because we want to have our daily flesh here.


“A child who dies of hunger today is murdered”, said Jean Ziegler.


By whom murdered?
By all who are involved in this system.
Because tragically, a large portion of the world’s food and land is used to produce cattle and other farm animals and as a food for the rich, at the same time 43,000 children die daily of hunger in the Third World.

We cannot say today, we do not know where the “daily bread” comes to our table.

And when some naive still pray to the god that their plates are filled with corpses every day, their morals and consciences have long since sold to the God of the meat-mafia.

 

Best regards to all

Venus

Denmark / Faroe Islands: Nothing Changes After Our Actions 27 Years Ago !

 

It seems like a lifetime – Joanne, Mark and Trevor were out campaigning about this slaughter back around 19990 / 91.  Very sadly, in this modern age, it still continues, some 27 years or so after they hit the streets.

See more and a photo on ‘About Us’ – https://serbiananimalsvoice.com/about-us/  –  ‘Superstore Protestors Seek End To Slaughter’.  Just below the pictures of Joanne.

Sea turns red as 200 whales massacred by Faroe Islanders in annual ritual

 

Animal rights groups say that the hunting method, known locally as ‘Grindarap’, must end.

http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/sea-turns-red-200-whales-massacred-by-faroe-islanders-annual-ritual-1627113

Animal rights campaigners have reported details of the the latest Grindarap – an annual event in the Faroe Islands where locals round up and massacre huge families of whales.

The sea turned red as the blood of an estimated 150-200 mammals were sliced to death by hunters from the Danish islands, located in the Norwegian Sea.

The Grindarap is believed to date back as far as 1584. It is a method of whaling that drives entire pods of whales and dolphins towards beaches by trapping them with small boats and missiles.

The prey, typically short-finned pilot whales migrating through the Norwegian Sea in the summer, are then set upon other hunters armed with knives and lances.

There are usually a series of hunts in close succession to one another at this time of year. The whale meat is eaten by locals.

Various campaign groups have demanded that the practice, which is legal, be stamped out.

“The animals slowly bleed to death. Whole families are slaughtered, and some whales swim around in their family members’ blood for hours.

“Whales and dolphins are highly intelligent creatures and feel pain and fear every bit as much as we do,” PETA said.

Introducing ‘Project Coyote’ – USA.

coyote_NEW

Hi all;

Despite being an Englishman in the UK, I have a massive love and devotion towards the protection of wildlife within the USA.

I have over the years had many great times in the United States; and am especially fond of the South West – Arizona, California, New Mexico, Colorado; Nevada and Utah to name some of my favorite states; much of it still wild and natural as it should be.

I have ventured the Wolf Creek Pass of Colorado – https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=wolf+creek+pass+colorado&biw=1191&bih=529&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=-YmQVOD_OsbW7Qadx4HQBQ&ved=0CDcQ7Ak ;

walked amongst the dinosaur footprints near to Barringer crater (Meteor crater) in Arizona – https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=wolf+creek+pass+colorado&biw=1191&bih=529&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=-YmQVOD_OsbW7Qadx4HQBQ&ved=0CDcQ7Ak#tbm=isch&q=barringer+crater+arizona

and been awestruck by the beauty (and climbing – a passion) of Yosemite national park – https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=wolf+creek+pass+colorado&biw=1191&bih=529&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=-YmQVOD_OsbW7Qadx4HQBQ&ved=0CDcQ7Ak#tbm=isch&q=yosemite+national+park

I remember with very fond memories experiencing the natural wonders of Arizona when visiting the Sonora Desert Museum in Arizona – https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=wolf+creek+pass+colorado&biw=1191&bih=529&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&ei=-YmQVOD_OsbW7Qadx4HQBQ&ved=0CDcQ7Ak#tbm=isch&q=sonora+desert+museum

I love anything Wolf, Coyote, Dog, and avidly follow the wonderful works of all the leading US campaign organisations who devote their time and efforts into protecting the wildlife of the United States.

So, despite this site being primarily aimed at helping animals in the European Balkans, I do try and give a little time to the odd post regarding US animal projects which especially aim to protect the wonderful wildlife that you have; very much should always keep for the future and without doubt, should give full respect to- were they not there first ? !

I have just signed up as a pack member of ‘Project Coyote’ which is based in California.  As their logo says, an organisation fostering Co Existence – Project Coyote works to change negative attitudes toward coyotes, wolves and other native carnivores by replacing ignorance and fear with understanding, respect and appreciation. All of our work — through education, science, and advocacy — strives to create fundamental and systemic changes in the ways wild carnivores are viewed and treated in North America.

Please visit their site – many links given below to learn so much more about this wonderful animal – still wrongly persecuted so much.  You can learn so much more; donate to help campaigning for this much understood animals, and sign up to take part in actions and campaigns organised by the project.

Please do and give what you can to help this organisation.  Only today on the BBC I see that we are now down to the last five (5) white rhinos in the world – they having been persecuted and killed for decades by poachers and hunters out for something to disgustingly hang on the wall, or to make some pathetic ivory carving from the horn.  These creatures will be extinct within a few years – this must not happen to the wildlife of the United States.

Please view the following links and give your utter support to Project Coyote.
