Boknal Dog Meat Days are Almost Upon Us!

Boknal Dog Meat Days are Almost Upon Us!

 

In just a few weeks, the annual dog eating festival of South Korea will begin and tens of thousands of dogs and cats will be tortured and killed in some of the most brutal and inhumane ways imaginable.

Bok-Nal  translates literally as “Dog Days” and is a Korean holiday marking the height of the summer growing season. It is traditionally the hottest time of the year, and in a bid to beat the summer heat, many Koreans will consume “traditional” soups or tonics made of dog meat. The meat is believed to have magical restorative powers, increasing overall health and fitness, yet no such magical health benefits exist. Dog meat vendors operate in unsanitary, unlicensed and unregulated back-alley butcher shops that spread sickness and disease from food-borne pathogens.

Most tragic of all is the belief that the more the animal suffers in the preparation of this vile and horrid meat, the stronger and more potent the health benefit. It is not uncommon for dogs to be beaten, electrocuted, boiled alive, and hacked to pieces while still conscious – all for a witches’ brew of unfathomable suffering.

If you have not already done so, please consider making a generous contribution today and join In Defense of Animals as we prepare to be on the ground and in the streets amid one of the most cruel and inhumane ‘Festivals’ in the world. With your help we will be there to shine a radiant spotlight of international attention on the atrocities suffered by thousands of innocents each year. Stand with us now and help us to usher in an end to Boknal Days.
