U.S. Travel Agents Boycott International Tourism Expo in South Korea Many of the canines used for food are raised on farms in the rural countryside that make puppy mills look like doggy day spas by comparison. About a third are stolen from families that love them, and wind up packed into cages with others and butchered in the markets and alleyways of South Korean cities. Over the past several years, IDA has taken a leading role in opposing South Korea's brutal black market trade in dog and cat meat. As part of IDA's International Day for Korean Dogs and Cats, held every year in July to coincide with "Bok days" (the hottest days of the year when Koreans eat the most dogs), activists demonstrate against dog and cat meat at Korean consulates in countries around the world. IDA also provides financial support to animal protection groups in South Korea so that they can have the resources they need to educate the public and dispel superstitions about the supposed benefits of dog and cat meat consumption. What You Can Do: Visit IDA's campaign website to learn more about Korea's dog and cat meat industry. View a slide show of pictures from International Day 2006 events that IDA supporters held around the world.
