The Animals' Battalion: Int'l Day of Action for South Korean Dogs & Cats
"All over South Korea, dogs are crammed like vegetables into crates. When a customer makes a selection, the dog is roughly yanked from the cage, strung up, and ruthlessly beaten - in the presence of the other poor animals - while she writhes and cries out in pain, urinates and defecates, and slowly strangles to death. The flesh is then blowtorched to improve the appearance.
Such is the fate of approximately TWO MILLION dogs each year in South Korea!
Many South Koreans believe that the adrenaline released into the dogs' bloodstreams by their terror and agony will increase the sexual potency of the consumer, and that the beatings "tenderize" the meat.
Cats in South Korea don't have it any better. Tens of thousands are boiled alive in pressure cookers each year to make an elixir called goyangi soju which is believed to cure rheumatism and neuralgia.
This cruelty and suffering continues because it is supported by government indifference. Profit-driven industry forces aggressively promote the myth that eating severely mistreated dogs and cats increases male sexual prowess and general health. These same people bribe government officials, intimidate animal welfare campaigners and induce newspapers to extol the "virtues" of dog and cat meat.
We must ACT NOW!"
-Elliot M. Katz, DVM. President, In Defense of Animals.
