모 동물단체의 어느분이 아마 WSPA에 메일을 보내셨었나봐요.

Thank you for your email detailing the treatment of dogs in Korea. I understand your concerns and please be assured WSPA is campaigning heavily in this area to bring about change. I have outlined below some of the initiatives we are undertaking to put an end to the mistreatment of dogs within Korea:

1.  Companion Animal Welfare conference in September 2005. This will offer practical solutions for the Korean government and advice regarding many issues including dog eating.

2. Other campaign activities supported by WSPA include arranging a bus tour around Korea on 'Bok' days which is when they eat the dog meat. This will provide information about the suffering endured by dogs killed for consumption and will be effective in raising awareness about the issue.

3. Ongoing political lobbying by AFK and other Korean animal groups will be supported by WSPA.

In addition to the above we have progressed in other area’s:
- Conduct an undercover investigation exposing the extent of the
  suffering in the Korean dog-meat trade.
- Mobilise WSPA’s Korean member societies to take action on the  
  issue.
- Carry out an opinion poll revealing that a minority of the  
  population are eating dog-meat; many were not aware of the
  inhumane way that dogs are killed.
- Organise the first ever companion animal welfare conference in
  Seoul, which is well attended by government officials, media and
  animal welfare groups.
- Get the message heard - eight major Korean newspapers use
  the term ‘companion animal’ for the first time following the
  conference.

Thank you once again for your interest and support in this matter. I wish you the best of luck with your own campaign.

Best Wishes,

Kerry Hudson, Supporter Services
