Please join International Aid for Korean Animals (IAKA) and animal activists from throughout the greater NYC area to protest the illegal dog and cat meat trade that flourishes today in South Korea.
More than 2 million dogs and cats are tortured and slaughtered in South Korea every year. Scores of Korean men believe that consuming the flesh of tortured animals will enhance virility. Prominent scientists have publicly denounced the “benefits” of eating dog and cat meat, and furthermore, dog meat soup and cruelty to animals are technically illegal under current South Korean law.
Please help us spread the word about these illegal, barbaric crimes against companion animals. By raising public awareness through protests, letter-writing campaigns and boycotts, we can enact change and end the suffering in South Korea.
