To stop this “justifiable homicide”, the brutal violence against animals, we have to do something more than just demonstrate for peace or organize chains of lights.
In the 19th century, there was a civil war in the USA because of slavery.
Black people were recognized by law as persons with the right to freedom.
We have to stop defining animals as “things” by law.
And that may become a reality when the animal rights movement understands that we are at war.
In a war where the enemy fights against the life, against the freedom of Non-Human animals.
Perhaps in the 21st century, we will also become a resistance movement for the abolition of non-human slavery
Indeed, the system in which we live goes to great lengths to get the meat-eaters thinking only about how to enjoy their food and not about the animal that has to suffer for it.
Therefore, the greatest effort of this fascist system is to keep its crimes hidden so that no one comes up with the idea of questioning the greatest crime of mankind
PETITION TARGET: South Korean Ambassador Lee Soo-hyuck and South Korean President Moon
Crammed into filthy metal crates and cages, more than 200 dogs cowered in fear waiting to be sold for slaughter at the Nakwon dog auction in Namyangjusk, S. Korea. Sadly, an estimated million dogs suffer similar fates in the nation’s horrifying meat trade.
But there is new hope for the dogs hung, electrocuted and butchered for profit. A bill proposed by Congresswoman Han Jeong-ae — the country’s newly installed Minister of the Environment — would “eradicate the culture of dog” meat as food in South Korea for good.
Ten members of the Korean National Assembly have already backed this bill. Add your voice now to help this lifesaving legislation pass!
Lady Freethinker’s undercover footage of the Nakwon House of Horrors made international headlines and sparked public outrage by exposing the terrifying, sickening conditions endured by dogs bred, brutally killed, and dismembered for dog meat.
But the horrors have continued in S. Korea — the only country in the world that still has large-scale, commercial dog farms. And some of the country’s legislative leaders have had enough.
House Bill 7035 proposes an amendment to the country’s Animal Protection Act that would explicitly ban the slaughtering and processing of dogs for food or their meat.
The bill provides for penalties against violators, but also includes a 5-year grace period and subsidies for businesses transitioning away from the dog meat trade.
More South Koreans than ever before — an estimated one in four — keep dogs as companion animals and people’s attitudes toward them are changing, the bill’s sponsors note.
“The general public’s awareness of animal welfare has also greatly improved, and there is a very high demand for socially banning dog consumption,” the bill’s text reads.
A Nielsen poll conducted last year reported that 84% of South Koreans polled said they didn’t or wouldn’t eat dog meat. The poll also reported 59% of those polled supported the outright banning of dog meat and 57% believed dog meat consumption reflected poorly on their country.
South Korea’s current leader, President Moon Jae-in, has compassion for animals and even adopted a dog rescued from the dog meat trade named Tory. He’s in the perfect position to leave a legacy for animals that won’t ever be forgotten.
Sign this petition asking President Moon and the Korean Ambassador to the U.S. to support this important bill that will show the world what a great and compassionate country South Korea is and that will prevent the suffering and deaths of thousands of innocent dogs killed in the horrific dog meat trade.
WAV Comment – Northern Ireland (NI) is part of the United Kingdom, although located in the North of the island of Ireland. Ireland is a located in the South and is an independent nation, still a member of the EU.
Thousands of unweaned NI (Northern Ireland) calves face ‘cruel’ exports of up to 30 hours without food, say charities
DAERA has admitted that 5,863 weeks-old calves were exported last year
Thousands of unweaned calves from Northern Ireland are ‘cruelly’ going without food for up to 30 hours as they are shipped live for slaughter abroad, animal welfare charities claim.
They say some are just weeks old when they are packed into lorries and shipped to ‘suffer’ long journeys from Antrim and Armagh to Spain via Wexford’s Rosslare Port.
A truck can contain around 300 calves (Image: Eyes on Animals, Ethical Farming Ireland and Compassion in World Farming)
Regards Mark – It bums me off big time – Its a pretty simple message really:
Check out past work I have undertaken on this by visiting About Us. | Serbian Animals Voice (SAV) – scroll down until you see the calf photos re investigations. 2 shown here for example:
The calves have always been given a really bad time in transport; it is not new news. Pity that someone does not take the action they should. Any suggestions who that should be DEFRA and the EU ?
And why we do not support dairy – see for yourself:
Don’t be a part of these abuses; select from the alternatives.
These days, whether you’re a vegan, sensitive to milk or just don’t like the taste, there are many non-dairy options available. Check it all out here by clicking on the following link:

Oat milk is made with pre soaked oat groats, which are hulled grains broken into fragments.
An interesting fact about oat milk is that it contains more calcium in one serving than regular cow’s milk.
Oat milk contains 36% of the RDA for calcium, while one serving of whole milk contains 28%.
In addition, one serving will also give you 10% of your recommended daily amount of iron.
The oat milk is one of the best vegan milk alternatives to dairy milk.
3- Soy Milk
Excellent for cooking, baking, in a glass or over cereal, soy milk is an easy method to add protein and dimension to your recipes.
Soy milk may also contain natural substances called isoflavones, which have been linked with a reduced risk of heart disease and a 25 percent decrease in breast cancer recurrence when at least 10 mg of isoflavones are consumed daily.
4- Flax Milk
Flax seeds are a natural source of Omega-3s, and it is the best non-dairy option for this purpose.

They also contain moderate amounts of calcium, zinc, copper, phosphorus, potassium, and magnesium.
10- Cashew Milk
Cashew milk is lactose-free, but the nutrients vary depending on whether you make it at home or buy a commercially prepared product.
One cup of homemade cashew milk made using 1/4 cup of cashews has 10 grams of carbohydrates and 189 calories.
11- Quinoa Milk
Quinoa milk is high in dietary fibre, protein, vitamins, and all essential amino acids.
This great taste, easy-to-drink product also contains important minerals such as manganese, magnesium, iron, copper, zinc and phosphorus.
12- Potato Milk
Potato milk has lots of health benefits, particularly for anyone who has food intolerances or allergies, including children with autism.

Tip
Make your own dairy free milk.
It’s incredibly easy and in some cases, more economical and healthier to make your own vegan milk.
Numerous investigations in Australian slaughterhouses have documented the terror dairy calves face prior to and during the slaughter process. It’s the final cruelty for these babies who have been born – and killed – for one reason; to keep their mothers producing milk for humans.
A few days ago in one post re the Korean (Meat) Dogs campaign, I said that we had tried to send e mails as per the website; but many had been returned by the administrator within a few minutes.
I said then that I would be contacting Korean Dogs in California to sound them out about this. So I did. Within a day I had a very nice message back from our animals friends at Korean Dogs in California. Giny sent the following info, which I am repeating in full as I hope it will help you with your actions.
As Giny says – The e-People petition is the most effective of all the actions you can take so please try doing that today. This will never bounce back and you will ALWAYS get a response from the Korean government. www.e-People.go.kr
So I suggest that (initially), the E People petition route is probably the best way to start.
Thanks to Giny for her very rapid response to my questions; I informed her that we will continue to support their wrk and campaigning until the Korean meat dog issue is a thing of the past.
Q: I have sent emails to addresses given on your web-pages, but many of them ‘bounce’ or have some other message saying they cannot be delivered. Why is this?
A: There could be several reasons why your emails are returned or not delivered. Your returned email will indicate the reason for the returned email such as “Message blocked”, “The receiver denied your mail.” One suggestion that we would like to make is that you separate your personal email with the petition mailing email account. You can also set up multiple email accounts on gmail for petition email sending.
In addition, the sources from where we have collected these email addresses could be out of date, or incorrect; or may have changed since we collected this information and listed it on our website. We do try our best to keep up-to-date information, but, as you can appreciate, it is not always possible to reflect these changes.
The e-People petition is the most effective of all the actions you can take so please try doing that today. This will never bounce back and you will ALWAYS get a response from the Korean government.www.e-People.go.kr
We also urge everyone to pass on your message by sending postal letters, and making telephone calls. Telephoning is particularly effective as the message cannot be so easily ‘ignored’.
The town of Garmisch in Bavaria (Germany) is located near the mountain “Zugspitze”, at 2,962 m the highest mountain in Germany.
The city consists of two places, the second is Partenkirchen, and both were united in 1935.
Garmisch is considered a more elegant district, Partenkirchen (with its cobblestone streets) exudes a traditional Bavarian ambiance.
This district of Garmisch-Partenkirchen is planning to protect the cultural landscape there as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
That wouldn’t be bad either, because it is a beautiful natural area, one of the few still existing in Germany, which is endowed with wild natural beauty.
In this context, the “tethering” of cattle should also be classified as a cultural asset worthy of protection.
Animal Rights Watch sees it as an attempt to misuse the title “World Heritage Site” to legitimize traditional cruelty to animals.
Nationwide, around 1 million cows live in what is known as “tethered”. Every fourth cow in the dairy industry is affected, most of them in smaller farms – even with organic labels.
In Garmisch-Partenkirchen, more than 50 percent of all cows in the dairy industry are “tied up”.
The affected animals are tied to the neck with a short chain, rope, or iron rod.
The remaining freedom of movement is just enough for the cows to lie down and get up again. For months they stand practically motionless in one place without the slightest change.
cruelty to any being is the same
