Dear Officials of Ganghwa Island:

As COVID19 causes chaos all over the world, you must know that it is incredibly important to not only regulate dog farming but to perhaps find alternative solutions to the consumption of dog meat in order to prevent the next global pandemic from taking root. Korea is no stranger to viruses caused by filthy, unsanitary farming conditions – most notably the African swine fever that broke out in Paju. Viruses such as this not only cause illness among human consumers but also gravely impact economic livelihoods. All phases of dog farming are indisputable breeding grounds for animal to human transmission of zoonotic diseases that put the entire world in jeopardy.

It’s not a matter of IF there be another plague, but WHEN. Together we can make Ganghwa Island a city to be recognized for positive contributions to society and help them become a leader in setting standards for others to follow. The rich soil of the region and its proximity to the Han River make Ganghwa a prime farming location for root vegetables that not only benefit human health but also help promote a sustainable job industry.

Please become part of the solution and pave the road for other cities to follow to help protect future generations from suffering similar grave health consequences.

Respectfully,

강화도 공무원분들께:

코로나 19가 전 세계적으로 혼란을 야기하고 있습니다. 개 사육 규제와 개고기 섭취의 대안적인 해결책을 찾는 것은 향후 발생할 수 있는 세계적인 유행병이 뿌리를 내리는 것을 예방하기 위해 매우 중요하다는 것을 알아야 합니다. 한국은 불결하고 비위생적인 농경환경으로 인한 바이러스에 익숙하지 않습니다. 특히 파주에서 발생한 아프리카 돼지열병이 가장 두드러집니다. 이와 같은 바이러스는 인간 소비자에게 질병을 일으킬 뿐만 아니라 경제적 생계에 심각한 영향을 미칩니다. 모든 개 사육 단계는 전 세계를 위험에 빠뜨리는 전염병을 일으키며 이는 동물로부터 사람에게 옮겨집니다.

다른 유행병이 있을지가 중요한게 아니라 언제 또 다시 발생할지가 문제입니다. 우리는 강화도가 사회에 긍정적인 기여하여 사람들로부터 인정받을 도시로 만들고, 다른 사람들이 따를 수 있는 기준을 만들 수 있도록 돕고 싶습니다. 풍부한 토양을 가지고 있으며 한강과 인접한 강화는 인간의 건강에 도움이 될 뿐만 아니라 지속 가능한 일자리 산업 육성에 도움이 되는 뿌리 채소의 주요 농경지입니다.

해결책의 일부가 되어 다른 도시들이 따를 수 있는 길을 마련하고, 미래 세대가 이러한 심각한 건강상의 결과를 겪지 않도록 보호해 주시기 바랍니다.

감사합니다,

CLOSE THE HELLISH DOG MEAT FARMS OF GANGHWA ISLAND COUNTY, S. KOREA

We need you more than ever. Please write and encourage the officials to get the meat dog auction house in Namyangju City shut down.

UPDATE DECEMBER 28, 2020

FROM SAVEVOREANDOGS FB POST

Thank you all for writing email to them. Mr.Sohn, chief secretary to mayor Cho has received more than 1,000 emails. His email is full. Mr.Sohn was saying he did receive some wonderful special emails from three of you "A sweet home with a dog". Thank you all. He hates it when I am standing there with the sign. The plan of demolition is out but the auction house is asking for compensation.

SAMPLE LETTER TO SEND

Dear Officials of Namyangju:

As COVID19 causes chaos all over the world, you must know that it is incredibly important to not only regulate dog farming and close dog auction houses but to perhaps find alternative solutions to the consumption of dog meat in order to prevent the next global pandemic from taking root. Presently, the dog meat auction house in Namyangju is illegally operating on land owned by the city. We wholeheartedly support your efforts to enforce its closure in an effort show other cities that change can only come from taking action. Together we can make Namyangju a city to be recognized for positive contributions to society and help them become a leader in setting standards for others to follow.

Your compassion and strength of conviction to take on this fight is inspiring and respected by thousands of us around the world. The inhumane treatment of dogs and cats throughout Asia has become a global issue but I truly believe through working together, understanding nationalities, and finding mutually acceptable practices, we will be able to provide alternative and sustainable solutions and end this nightmare before us.

Thank you for being a part of the solution.

 

친애하는 남양주 공무원분들께:

COVID19가 전 세계적으로 혼란을 야기하고 있습니다. 공무원분들께서 개 사육장과 인근 개 경매장을 규제하는 것뿐만 아니라 개고기 소비의 대안적인 해결책을 찾는 것이 다음 세계적인 유행병이 뿌리를 내리지 않도록 하는 매우 중요한 점입니다. 현재 남양주의 개고기 경매장은 시가 소유한 토지에 불법으로 운영되고 있습니다. 도시들이 변화를 취하는 것만이 변화를 가져올 수 있다는 것을 보여주기 위해, 폐점을 강행하려는 공무원분들의 노력을 진심으로 지지합니다. 우리는 함께, 남양주를 사회에 긍정적인 기여를 하는 인정받는 도시로 만들고, 다른 도시들이 따를 수 있는 기준을 마련하는 데 선도자가 되도록 도울 수 있습니다.

이 싸움에 임하는 공무원분들의 연민과 신념의 힘은 전 세계 수천명의 사람들에게 영감을 주며, 우리는 여러분을 존경하고 있습니다. 아시아 전역에서 개와 고양이에 대한 비인간적인 대우는 세계적인 이슈가 되었지만, 저는 진심을 담아 함께 일하고 국적을 이해하며 상호수용 가능한 관행을 찾음으로써, 대안적이고 지속 가능한 해결책을 제공할 수 있고, 우리 앞에 놓인 이 악몽을 끝낼 수 있을 것이라고 믿습니다.

해결책의 일부가 되어주신 것에 대해 감사드립니다.

존경합니다,
