We are trying to stop the brutal slaying of dogs and cats in South Korea, (tongues of dogs are cut out, hanging, blow-torching, boiling dogs and cats alive, skinning alive and electrocution) These animals are caged night and day in small cages with no room to move, defecate, breath, some are dead and rigomortified under others. Some dogs are still alive when they come out of the whirlpool of boiling water and to finish them off they are blowtorched to remove the rest of their fur.

Cats are beaten to death in sacks to make cat soup. South Korea does have an Animal Protection Law 1991 but the government turns a blind eye and les these poor animals be killed in cruel, inhumane ways.

There are over 6000 restaurants in South Korea that have dog and cat on the menu. Over 2 million dogs and cats are killed inhumanely each year for food. This pain of these toruted and abused animals must be stopped.

4,208 7:50 pm PDT, Apr 7   Andrea Hayes   Australia The act is blatantly evil - right out of the Devils book - anybody who takes part in such activity or is for such cruelty is definately, mentally unhealthy. These demonic people are not worthy of the air they breathe.
4,207 5:48 pm PDT, Apr 6 Mr. Richard Hayes   Australia Obviously some Korean people are not only barbaric they are primitive. They should be educated out of their primitive beliefs, that torturing dogs, and other animals to death, and eating them will improve their own health or sexual performance. Eating the meat of dogs or using potions containing the juice of cats boiled alive is more likely to make them ill than otherwise. And I hope it does make them ill because that's what they deserve for torturing animals. If the Korean government allows this evil to continue then they are not only guilty but just as barbaric and primitive. This cruelty must stop.

4,162 8:43 pm PST, Dec 11   brenda lorenzo California United States because the torturing of these pets, or any kind of animal is undeserved not that anyone deserves this kind of treatment except those who do the torturing and dont have the heart to have any kind of compassion deserve to rott in hell and be skinned alive themselves assholes. there is a humane way to put anamils down. if there is anything i can do, to save these innocent creatures, i will do!
4,161 6:59 pm PST, Dec 6 Mrs. Anonymous New Mexico United States I watched a video posted on myspace, uploaded through you tube showing actual footage of dogs and cats being brutally beaten and tortured. I'm truly an animal lover and despise people who think its ok to slowly and painfully beat an animal for purposes that are proven FALSE!! I want this cruelty stopped and am willing to donate time, money advertising awareness anything to put this to an end. These innocent animals do not deserve this kind of life!! I cannot stop thinking about it and promise that I am going to do what I can to help put this to an end!!

4,159 5:43 pm PST, Nov 16 Mr. Daniel Mariano New Jersey United States It is unfortunate that some people cannot understand why it is wrong to torture and kill animals.Torturing and killing animals used as pets is even worse.If anyone could explain to me how it is good or right to torture and kill cats and dogs for any reason at all,please change my mind.Otherwise,I wish all the compassion of the torturers themselves back upon them,which is none at all.Here is to your rebirth in hell,you sick murderors.Learn the meaning of shame,and then tell us all how proud you are of your deeds.This confounds the conscience of me and all whom have the capacity to love at all.

4,155 6:41 am PDT, Oct 2 Ms. Breanna Williams Colorado United States Because I love and care fpr animals and it kills me to see others taking advantage of the little creatures who dont have the power to overpower us.

4,153 11:57 am PDT, Sep 10 Mr. matt ratliff Arizona United States I understand that different countries eat different foods, but why the unnecessary torture? Blow torching a dog, and skinning it alive is horrible and needs to stop. What if it was "acceptable" to eat children in other countries? Would they blow torch them? Probably not. Why is it ok to hurt an animal?
4,152 10:15 am PDT, Sep 10 Mrs. Jodie Peterson Arizona United States Why is it so necessary to inflict as much torture on these sweet creatures as they possibly can?
