The government of Seoul is trying to get dogs included among livestock, saying it will lead to humane farming and slaughtering of dogs and sanitary distribution of their meat. This means to legalize dog meat consumption not only in Seoul but across Korea as well.
In Korea a great number of dogs are killed a year for dog meat maniacs. They, together with the press and dog farm owners, argue meat dogs are different from companion dogs. It is nonsense! The reality is that many of companion dogs, lost or abandoned, are sacrificed for dog meat cuisine.
Even a few foreigners living in Korea are backing up dog meat consumption. For instance western and Japanese women appear on a show of KBS, a Korean national terrestrial broadcaster, arguing dog meat is one of Korea’s traditional cultures.
The conditions of dog farms are hellish and, contrary to what the Seoul government asserts, they will go worse, not better, since the numbers of farm dogs will be soon growing once dog meat consumption has been legalized.
The argument of Seoul is ungrounded, which speaks out only for those crazy for dog foods. When he was one of lawmakers, the current mayor of Seoul signed up for the bill to legalize dog meat consumption. He is suspected to be one of the maniacs.

Subject : Concerning the dogmeet legalization Content :
Dear Mayor Oh,
I am Japanese living in Japan now. I am writing to you after reading an article reporting that Seoul is attempting to categorize dogs as livestock.
Nowadays, we witness day after day an increasing number of vegetarians raising voices to remind people of poor environment and treatment for animals, environmental protection and animal rights. Under this international movement, what I am afraid is Korea's another approval for categorizing dogs as livestock would regretfully mean that this country swim against the cultural currents.
Uniquely among animals, dogs have been accompanied people through all stages of history in many countries. It makes us, citizens of the world feel extremely sick and also cannot be tolerated to approve that dogs are categorized as a livestock.
I am sure that Korea will be taking a very critical role in the future among other several leading countries, as it had been successfully accomplished an amazing development only in the past few years.
Hopefully, Korea will make a wise choice contributing to the creation of balance between actual development and cultural advancement.
Thank you very much for taking your time to read my letter.
