Although demand for ‘edible’ dog is decreasing, there still are people who think banning by law is too much. And, of course, there are merchants who sell dogs for their living. It is such a sad reality, here in Korea.

Dogs deserve to be rescued, adopted, and loved, while the merchants need help to change careers. The shut down of Gupo ‘edible dog’ market was a successful model both for remaining dogs and the merchants. They all got a second chance to live better.

We are trying our best to close other dog markets and farms, remaining all over Korea. After Gupo, we are fighting to close down Chilseong Market in Daegu – which is one of the big 3 ‘edible dog’ market in Korea, and the only market where actual slaughter is done.
