Stop illegal cat and dog torture in South Korea!

Target:

To help stop illegal cat and dog slaughtering.

Sponsored by:

In South Korea, more than 2.6 million cats and dogs are brutally killed and eaten illegally every year. Often times, their killing includes hanging by the neck, beatings with pipes and hammers, and electrocution. Cats are boiled alive, and dogs are routinely blow torched to remove their fur and brown the skin.

How much longer can this problem exist? In 1984, a law banned dog meat stew. Yet today, this industry is still very strong.

Please help stop this once and for all!

It's like mass sociopathy. Is this what you want for your country, and its animals?

It saddens me that my fellow human beings are capable of such cruel practices. Let's put a stop to such suffering for the sake of the animals and for humanity.

Boycott any fur products from the region of the world, specially jackets with fur lining...even if it says "fake fur" or "faux" - sometimes it is actually cat or dog hair...it is cheaper to manufacture then fake fur!

Animal Cruelty As long as man eats animals how can cruelty to animals be removed. Morarji Desai I do not say that one who is vegetarian is full of compassion and one who is not, is otherwise. We sometimes find people, who are vegetarians, are very bad people. Morarji Desai I would, therefore, say that for no reason whatsoever, except in self-defence, should one think of killing any animal. Morarji Desai If we do not want to be pained by anybody we must not pain anybody; and how can man consider himself humane if he wants to live at the cost of others. Morarji Desai Let me assure you that all of our pets, and animals of every kind will be with us for eternity on the Other Side. Sylvia Browne I have reached zero tolerance for the cruelty against our animal brothers. If we are to nuture our culture, let�s begin with the animals who have been nothing but our beasts of burden for so long. Author: Riki Rockett If there is justice with no mercy, Ira Flatow will have to come back countless times as a lab rat for all the cruelty he has promoted on NPR. Author: Animal Rights people who are willing to kill animals just to satisfy their greed for meat are ultimately, really, killing themselves by their cruelty . . . that is God at work http://www.egroups.com/messages/christianveg. Author: Fleur Wiorkowski We Are The Living Graves Of Murdered Beasts We are the living graves of murdered beasts Slaughtered to satisfy our appetites We never pause to wonder at our feasts If animals, like men, can possibly have rights We pray on Sundays that we may have light To guide our footsteps on the path we tread We're sick of war We do not want to fight The thought of it now fills our hearts with dread And yet we gorge ourselves upon the dead Like carrion crows we live and feed on meat Regardless of the suffering and pain We cause by doing so. If thus we treat Defenseless animals for sport or gain How can we hope in this world to attain the PEACE we say we are so anxious for We pray for it o'er hecatombs of slain To God, while outraging the moral law Thus cruelty begets its offspring: war. Author: George Bernard Shaw ~Animal Rights & Welfare ~People have to understand that the commandment, "Do unto others as you would do unto you" applies to animals, plants and things, as well as to people! and that if it is regarded as applying only to people..then the animals, plants and things will, in one way or another, do as badly by man as man has done by them.... - Aldous Huxley ~James Herriot on Animal Protection I wish people would realize that animals are totally dependent on us, helpless, like children, a trust that is put upon us... I could do terrible things to people who dump unwanted animals by the roadside. - James Herriot in a television interview I hope to make people realise how totally helpless animals are, how dependent on us, trusting as a child must be that we will be kind and take care of their needs...[They] are an obligation put on us, a responsibility we have no right to neglect, or violate by cruelty. I have felt cats rubbing their faces against mine and touching my cheek with claws carefully sheathed. These things, to me, are expressions of love. If a farmer calls me with a sick animal, he couldn't care less if I were George Bernard Shaw. - James Herriot on continuing his Veterinarian practice after becoming a best-selling author ~~ Kylli Koski on Animal Protection ~ Nothing justifies a cruel treatment of animals. Yet, constantly inconceivable cases of cruelty to animals are happening all the time. It's completely inexcusable to mistreat animals in order to entertain people, like in bullfights or cockfights. I understand that in some cases you can defend animal experiments, but laboratory animals experience even unnecessary suffering. In factory farming, in piggeries, in poultry farms and mink farms it's often forgotten that animals are living creatures and must be treated well. Animals are kept in very tight cages without an opportunity to move freely about. How far back are those times when domestic fowl could freely waddle around in the courtyard. In TV shows and elsewhere I have tried to spread information about cats people take just for a summer time. Unfortunately year after year kittens are abandoned when the fall arrives. Children should be taught from the beginning to treat animals with responsibility. If a family takes an animal, a cat, a dog, a hamster or any other pet it must be taken care of the animal for all of its life. An animal must never be left to the forest or by the roadside when taking care of it no longer appeals. If the family can't take care of their pet, they must find a new home for it or let a veterinary to put it to sleep. You must never cause unnecessary suffering to animals. ~Our Duty to Animals There is no reason why our domestic animals should not be trained to help man, and to work in his service, so long as the work is not painful or excessive. But all the creatures around us should be trained in the way best for themselves; that is to say, we should always remember that their evolution is the object of the divine Will. So that while we should surely teach our animals all that we can because that develops their intelligence, we must take care that we instill into them good qualities and not evil. We must see that we do not increase in our animal the ferocious qualities which it is the business of his evolution to get rid of. For example, a man who trains a dog to hunt and kill is intensifying within him the very instincts which must be eliminated if the animal is to evolve, and in this way he is degrading a creature given into his charge instead of helping him on his way ... The same thing is true of a man who trains his dog to be ferocious in order that he may be an efficient protector of his property. Mankind has for so long treated animals cruelly that the whole animal world has a general feeling of fear and enmity towards men. Men have generated, in this way, an awful karma which comes back upon them in terrible suffering, in various forms of disease and of insanity. Yet, even after all this bad behavior on the part of man, few animals will harm him if let alone. Charles W. Leadbeater, "Our duty to Animals" in The Inner Life ~Albert Schweitzer on Animal Welfare It is man's sympathy with all creatures that first makes him truly a man. That's my private ant. You're liable to break its legs. - Albert Schweitzer to a ten-year-old boy We must fight against the spirit of unconscious cruelty with which we treat the animals. Animals suffer as much as we do. True humanity does not allow us to impose such sufferings on them. It is our duty to make the whole world recognize it. Anyone who has accustomed himself to regard the life of any living creature as worthless is in danger of arriving also at the idea of worthless human lives. Whenever an animal is forced into the service of men, everyone of us must be concerned for any suffering it bears on that account. No one of us may permit any preventable pain to be inflicted, even though he would be interfering in something that does not concern him. No one may shut his eyes and think the pain, which is therefore not visible to him is non-existent - Dr. Albert Schweitzer ~Albert Schweitzer's Prayers The chief cause of pain to me wass the knowledge of the untold sufferings of animals. ... it seemed to be incredible - this was even before I was old enough to go to school - that I should include only human beings in my evening prayers. So when my mother had heard my prayers and kissed me good-night, I said secretly another prayer, which I had composed myself, for all living creatures: "Dear God, protect and bless all creatures that have breath; save them from all evil and let them sleep in peace and quietness." - Albert Schweitzer ~A PRAYER FOR ANIMALS by Albert Schweitzer: Hear our humble prayer, O God, for our friends the animals, especially for animals who are suffering; for any that are hunted or lost or deserted or frightened or hungry; for all that must be put to death. We entreat for them all Thy mercy and pity, and for those who deal with them we ask a heart of compassion and gentle hands and kindly words.

All I have to say is discusting, and the people that are able to torture animals in such horrifying ways are not people at all.
