Help stop the torture of dogs in south korea (without filling in loads of shit) - General

[i]yes i put this in face threads but it'd probs do better here, I'll add in a bit more info on this one since it's more likely to get read[/i] I was on facebook and I just saw this thing in the corner of the screen, i clicked it out of interest, once I realised you didn't have to fill in loads of shit to sign up I decided to put my name down. All you have to do is give your name and email address (you can click a thing if you don't want to get emails/updates). I figured since most of facepunchers love dogs I may aswell give the link here. [b]Over 2 million dogs are brutally killed in South Korea every year. That's over 5,000 dogs a day who get strangled, burned, electrocuted or beaten to death for their meat.[/b] [quote]You can help us change the life of millions of dogs. International support against dog torture and dog meat consumption is the only way to put pressure on the South Korean government to protect animal rights for real and ban the dog meat industry in all forms. This petition will be presented to the Korean officials in Seoul by the Korea Animal Rights Advocates when at least or more than 1 million signatures have been collected. This petition is different from any other petition made in support for Korean dogs because of its great scope. People across the world are able to see the "Stop Killing Dogs" page in English, French and in many other languages, and understand that it is not a harmless ancient tradition or anything inevitable.[/quote] [quote]Animal torture should remain illegal in all forms and in all countries. The government of South Korea has to ensure that Animal Protection Laws are followed in their country. [b]Dogs are people's companions and helpers, not livestock for meat.[/b] Dog farms, raising dogs for food and killing them for meat should be made illegal. Selling dog meat in restaurants has to be banned. [/quote] yes, I am aware that petitions don't [i]always[/i] make a difference, but it's worth a shot, so if you're just going to piss and moan about how it isn't going to work then just don't bother. some of us care, if you don't then do something else. [url]http://www.uniteddogs.com/stopkillingdogs/[/url] easy as pie, cheers. This petition is hosted by United Dogs and Cats and [b]officially supported by Korea Animal Rights Advocates (KARA).[/b] and if you're not signing up purely for the comsumption purposes, sign up to stop the poor animals being tortured.

But they taste so good...

Sounds tasty

A petition won't do shit

If South Koreans choose to eat dogs it's their choice. Doing this would be like having Hindus stopping us from eating cows.

I'd like to save the dogs but... [URL=http://img6.imageshack.us/i/tomhanks.png/][IMG]http://img6.imageshack.us/img6/8817/tomhanks.png[/IMG][/URL] [QUOTE=HARDCORERAPE;17395973] easy as pie, cheers. [/QUOTE] you lie!

I'm not a fan of it, but why not ban killing cows for mean? Or chickens.

You eat cows... in India that would be pretty bad... Ahh, I be late.

[QUOTE=Occlusion;17396026]I'm not a fan of it, but why not ban killing cows for mean? Or chickens.[/QUOTE] because people are retarded and don't understand that there are different cultures in the world

What's with all this cultural imperialism? You're furious because they kill dogs meanwhile you tolerate the catastrophal conditions of egg cage chicken. Dogs aren't a better animal than cows or pigs which we kill for food btw.

Dog eat dog world :rimshot:

[QUOTE=Athelus;17396032]You eat cows... in India that would be pretty bad... Ahh, I be late.[/QUOTE] dogs are a humans companion and are used to help disabled and mentally ill people.

Signed.

[QUOTE=HARDCORERAPE;17396063]dogs are a humans companion and are used to help disabled and mentally ill people.[/QUOTE] Monkeys do that too. I wish I had one of those guys...

[QUOTE=HARDCORERAPE;17396063]dogs are a humans companion and are used to help disabled and mentally ill people.[/QUOTE] are you saying a cow couldn't do those things because that's pretty prejudiced................

Meat is meat, man. If you protest the slaughter of then you'd have to protest the slaughter of whales and cows, and nobody wants that. Don't be a hypocrite.

[QUOTE=HARDCORERAPE;17396063]dogs are a humans companion and are used to help disabled and mentally ill people.[/QUOTE] They use a specific breed of dog, not Labradors and stuff... And in India cows are considered sacred... beat that [QUOTE=gamefreek76;17396094]If you protest the slaughter of then you'd have to protest the slaughter of [b]whales[/b] and cows, and [b]nobody[/b] wants that.[/QUOTE] errr...

Well, they are using it for meat, the same way we use cows and stuff. So... fair enough for me.

At least they're being used for food instead of killed and thrown away.

They just like hotdogs, stop crying.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think the goal of this petition is to get the South Korea to reform the way the dogs are killed for their meat. It's an attempt to get them to adopt a more humane way of slaughter. [editline];[/editline] oh shit i just re-read the op. It's trying to [b]BAN[/b] the consumption of dog meat? what the fuck? It's in their culture. Let them eat what they've been eating/what's normal in their culture and worry about your own shit. That's so fucking dumb. I gave myself a bad reading.

There's plenty of dogs, maybe if they were endangered i'd care more, but if people want their meat, why not give them it, its not like any of those dogs were going to become guide dogs or anything special. What's the difference between killing dogs for meat and killing cows for meat? BTW, i do love dogs as pets.

[QUOTE=.Cheezy.;17396165]Correct me if I'm wrong but I think the goal of this petition is to get the South Korean gov. to reform the way the dogs are killed for their meat.[/QUOTE] No, it's to outright ban dog meat industries.

Also, the south koreans are doing better than you [b]Over 65,000 sign petition against U.S. beef imports[/b] [url]http://english.yonhapnews.co.kr/national/2008/06/02/63/0301000000AEN20080602005100315F.HTML[/url]

[B]and if you're not signing up purely for the comsumption purposes, sign up to stop the poor animals being tortured.[/B] eh, I'll put that in the OP

Man, these Korean meatballs really are the dog's bollocks.

That's stupid. The Koreans don't start a campaign to stop me from eating pigs, the Indians don't start a campaign to stop me from eating cows, I won't make them stop eating what they are used to.

[QUOTE=HARDCORERAPE;17396206][B]and if you're not signing up purely for the comsumption purposes, sign up to stop the poor animals being tortured.[/B] eh, I'll put that in the OP[/QUOTE] No. If I sign it purely for stopping the torture, I will then be signing it to end the consumption as well. Draft a new petition.
