You can help us change the life of millions of dogs (PETITION).
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.

"Auschwitz begins whenever someone looks at a slaughterhouse and thinks:They are only Animals"
The links to the many sites that I've included contain information that I believe to be relevant, be it the graphics, the videos, the undercover investigations, etc. . Exposing & and ending the brutality and savagery inflicted on the non-human animals is what I am focused on. I strongly believe that every voice against animal abuse/exploitation is of value and -and- collectively we have the power to end it. I am here for the animals, not for anyone's approval and for that I make no apologies. ** I do not promote violence towards humans.

Salazar's legacy: historical first state-..sanctioned hunt of Northern Rockies gray wolves
Defenders of Wildlife is leading a powerhouse coalition to stop a historical first state-..sanctioned hunt of Idahos previously endangered gray wolves in the United States. Hunting started on September 1, in the Sawtooth and Lolo regions of Idaho and will start in Montana on Septempter 15--unless the court stops the action.
The state's object is to reduce the current wolf population by half. This is a species that was removed prematurely from ESA protection, under authority by Interior Secretary, Ken Salazar. The Secretary is considered by many conservations, to have a personal bias, due to the fact that he is also a landowner, rancher, and member of the Cattlemen's association.
Salazar's record on wildlife management has been very controversial.
Defenders and 12 other conservation groups (see list at bottom) are still awaiting a decision by the U.S. District Court in Montana on the groups motion for a preliminary injunction. If granted, federal protection would be restored to the regional wolf population until the court reaches a final decision in the plaintiffs pending legal challenge to the delisting.
The 220 wolves slated to be killed in this years wolf hunt in Idaho are over and above the 150 or more wolves already killed each year in the state by other means of lethal control, natural deaths and the 35 wolves allowed to be killed by the Nez Perce tribe. All these actions combined threaten the recovery of the still tenuous regional wolf population in the Northern Rockies.
The following is a statement by Rodger Schlickeisen, president of Defenders of Wildlife:
The heavy-handed wolf hunt beginning today in Idaho, together with the hunt planned for September 15th by Montana, puts the recovery of the Northern Rockies population of wolves at risk and demonstrates precisely the kind of irresponsible state management that should have precluded taking the wolf off the endangered species list at this point in time.
We hope that the court will stop this ill-timed and politically motivated hunt before it is too late for hundreds of Idahos wolves.
The following is a statement by Suzanne Stone, Northern Rockies representative for Defenders of Wildlife:
Todays hunt undermines decades of tremendous support, time and investment from the American public, federal, tribal and state wildlife agencies, and threatens one of the most successful wildlife restorations in history.
While we have consistently encouraged all of the states in the region and the federal government to adopt scientifically sound wildlife conservation and management policies that are in the best interests of wolves and people, Idahos plan does not adhere to that standard and places the recovery of the Northern Rockies gray wolf in serious jeopardy. This level of mismanagement and population reduction would never be accepted for elk or deer and should not be attempted for any native wildlife, including wolves.
Idaho hosts the core of the regions wolf population, with approximately 1,000 wolves. By wiping out 220 wolves, the state is taking the first step toward crippling the regional wolf population by isolating wolves into disconnected subgroups incapable of genetic or ecological sustainability... This puts the wolves at risk for genetic inbreeding and disease outbreaks and reduces the important ecological niche that wolves fill on the land.
Idahos wildlife agency has stated that its intent is to reduce the population to only 518 wolves, while the Idaho state legislatures official policy is that all wolves be removed by whatever means necessary.
In the history of the Endangered Species Act, no other endangered species has ever been delisted at such a low population level and then immediately hunted to even lower unsustainable levels. This clearly is not responsible wolf management.
Defenders of Wildlife is represented in this litigation by Earthjustice, along with plaintiffs Natural Resources Defense Council, Sierra Club, Center for Biological Diversity, The Humane Society of the United States, Jackson Hole Conservation Alliance, Friends of the Clearwater, Alliance for the Wild Rockies, Oregon Wild, Cascadia Wildlands Project, Western Watersheds Project, Wildlands Project, and Hells Canyon Preservation Council.

"Oh what a wicked thing it is, for flesh to be the tomb of flesh, for the body's cravings, to fatten on the body of another, for one creature to continue living through one live creature's death. In all the richness that earth, the best of mothers, tenders to us, does nothing please except to chew and mangle the flesh of slaughtered animals?" ~Pythagora
