Animal Cruelty In Korea, Page 2
Every year Korea kills millions
of dogs for their skins and food.
Incredibly, they suffered in these horrible
conditions for five long months. When the boxes were finally
uncovered, none of the dogs tried to get out: because they
were kept in the boxes since they were very young, they did
not know how. Newborn puppies were also confined in the boxes.
It was apparent that some dogs suffered from hernias, as they
were not able to move their limbs in cold temperatures. The
day after animal protection groups visited the scene, the
dog owner pushed the hernias back into the dogs’ stomachs
and sewed them up using no anesthesia.

These cruelties to animals are very common in
Korea, but there are currently no legal protections for abused
animals. The maximum penalty against animal abuse is only
$200. It is impossible to take temporary custody of abused
animals to ensure their safety without the owner’s permission,
no matter what kind of abuse the animals have suffered. The
Korean government has consistently refused to prescribe giving
refuge to abused animals.

In 2004, the Korean government announced that
the Animal Protection Law would be revised, and since then
has issued several revised bills. However, each time a bill
is released, it goes from bad to worse under the constant
pressure of interest groups. Rather than protecting animals,
the latest bill would protect the right of special interest
groups to continue exploiting animals without restraint.
