Tell Sister City, Busan, South Korea, That We’re Opposed to the Torture and Consumption of Dogs and Cats.
Busan became sister city with Los Angeles in 1967, Chicago in 2007, and Montréal(Canada)in 2000. Yet Busan, South Korea is responsible for the horrendous dog and cat meat trade.
In South Korea, the home of global companies such as Hyundai/Kia, Samsung, LG, Daewoo, SK, POSCO,…, an estimated 2.5 million dogs are tortured and slaughtered every year because of the greed of dog eaters and the dog meat industry. And one of the largest markets in South Korea that sells dogs dead and alive for meat is the infamous “Gupo Market” in Busan Metropolitan City. If you have ever wondered what a hell would be like, just take a visit or watch the videos on Gupo Dog Meat Market.
This place is a “Hell on Earth” with defenseless man’s best friends in cages after cages waiting for the heartless customers to order them to be slaughtered on the spot by electrocution, hanging, beating,…and thrown into boiling water sometimes while they are still alive. Dogs are being killed in full view of other dogs terrified in cages, in public and in broad daylight.
The Gupo Dog Meat Market is also within the boundary of the “School Environment, Hygiene, Cleanup Zone” specified in the School Health Act as evidenced by the Busan News article and therefore is in violation of School Health Act. (http://koreandogs.org/dispute-over-the-gupo-livestock-markets-violation-of-the-school-health-act/)
The officials in the Busan Bukgu District clearly chose to ignore provisions of the School Health Act and are disregarding the health of the children attending the Dugchun Elementary School and are putting those children at risk. Please imagine letting your children attend school hearing the screaming of the meat dogs and seeing them writhe in agony, being brutally slaughtered right in front of their young eyes. It will either traumatize these children for life or make them immune to the suffering of animals, turning them into the next generation of animal abusers.
There are laws in South Korea against selling dogs and cats for consumption yet these laws are blatantly ignored.
Please watch this undercover video by animal rights activists in South Korea: http://youtu.be/3uR8R8Mu70Q
Please inform Busan Mayor Byung-Soo Suh that citizens of Los Angeles, Chicago and Montréal (Canada) and their friends insist that they issue an official document mandating that the following existing laws be enforced:
Livestock Product Sanitary Control Act, Article 2, Item 1 which governs the raising, slaughter and disposal of livestock and the processing, distribution and inspection of livestock products, does not categorize dogs as livestock that can be processed as food. Therefore this makes the dog meat industry technically illegal.
Food Sanitation Act, Article 7, Clause 1, Korean Food Standards Codex specified by the Food and Drug Administration, does not include dogs in the list of raw materials that can be processed and cooked as food, therefore making raising and slaughtering dogs for consumption illegal.
Animal Protection Act:
ARTICLE 3. BASIC PRINCIPLES FOR PROTECTION OF ANIMALS
Each person shall endeavor to observe the following principles in raising, caring for, or protecting an animal:
1. Each person shall ensure that an animal maintains its natural behavior and original physical shape to live an ordinary life;
2. Each person shall ensure that an animal does not suffer from thirst, hunger, or malnutrition;
Each person shall ensure that an animal is free to express normal behavior without experiencing discomfort;
4. Each person shall ensure that an animal is free from pain, injury, and disease;
5. Each person shall ensure that an animal is free from fear and distress.
ARTICLE 8. PROHIBITION OF ANIMAL ABUSE
① No one shall commit the following acts toward animals:
1. Act of killing by brutal methods, such as hanging
2. Act of Killing in public or in another animal’s presence
③ No one shall commit the following acts toward abandoned or abused animals:
1. Act of capture and sell or kill.
2. Act of trade or purchase knowing that the animals are abandoned or abused.
ARTICLE 9. ANIMAL TRANSPORTATION
① Anyone transporting an animal that has been selected by decree from the Ministry for Food, Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries must make an effort to abide by the following:
1. Ensure that the animals are properly fed, watered and drive carefully so that animals are not shocked or harmed from sudden departures or stops.
2. The vehicle used for transportation must be built to prevent any harm during transportation and to minimize any pain due to poor ventilation or sudden changes in temperature, etc.
4. Avoid any possible injuries while moving an animal and minimize any pain or discomfort, such as sudden changes in body temperature or difficulty in breathing.
ARTICLE 46. PUNISHMENT
① Anyone who violates Article 8, Clause 1 through 3 shall be punished with up to one year in prison or a maximum fine of 10 million Korean won ($7,000 USD).
Ministry of Environment's Conservation of Water Quality and Ecosystem Act, Article 15 Clause 1 Item 2 and Article 78 Item 3, the act of discharging excrement, livestock waste water, animal carcass, waste materials or sludge into public water is punishable by up to one year in prison or a maximum fine of 10 million Korean won ($7,000 USD).
Livestock Safety Management Act, slaughterhouses are only authorized to slaughter animals they are registered to handle. No slaughterhouse is registered to slaughter dogs because dogs are not subject to slaughter under this law.
We believe these demands are in line with the goal of sister cities to establish friendly communications in the areas of tourism, commerce, cultural exchange and public health.
International and Korean media coverage of the brutal dog and cat meat trade in South Korea has stained Busan, South Korea’s image and severely tarnished your city’s sister city relationship. The time to end this tragedy is now. The favor of your reply is requested. Thank you for taking swift action!

1. Find The Right Size
3. No More Dog Slipping
See the ToeGrips Transformation!
What Our Customers Are Saying
Designed for senior, arthritic, and special needs dogs, Dr. Buzby’s ToeGrips are the only product on the market that use dogs’ natural bio-mechanics—enabling traction through their toenails. Read happy ending stories of dogs just like yours whose lives have been transformed by ToeGrips!
My 18 year old mini pin mix has been having the hardest time getting around lately. His arthritis has made walking on the slippery tile and wood floors along impossible. He felt trapped to the small rug in the living room. As soon as we got his toegrips on….he was able to walk!! We love them!!
We put them on today and his walking immediately improved! He’s able to walk confidently on our hardwood floors again, instead of hopping area rug “island” to “island”. Thanks for inventing a simple constant wear product to help our older best friends! Boots and socks were never an option for Hank because he gets hot, enjoys laying in the dirt/garden, and swimming in our pool. Now we don’t have to worry about him in the middle of the night!
Here we are on day 2 of ToeGrips and we are a changed household! He trots around the house like a pup again, even jumping and hopping! I cannot believe the difference. I am telling everyone I know. Our old and injured pups deserve to feel this good.
When you purchase Dr. Buzby’s ToeGrips, not only do you receive a product that will dramatically improve the quality of life for your senior dog, you also get access to expert product support from a team who understands your relationship with your dog.

Yes, puppies and kittens are still being boiled alive in South Korea - the nation of brands we love such as Samsung, LG, Hyundai, Kia, Daewoo, SK.
Click HERE to see the story of two puppies who survived the horror of being BOILED ALIVE in Cheonan, South Korea. They were rescued by a woman who witnessed the scene and called the emergency service number. One of the puppies is severely burned and currently being treated at a veterinary hospital in Seoul.
We are requesting that South Korea stop the horrific cruelty of boiling live animals immediately and ban the puppy and kitten consumption.
