Korea Cruel to Dogs

RECEIVED Tue., June 1, 2004

Dear Editor,
   I must inform your readers that the choice to purchase items made in Korea supports Korea's cruel dog market trade, where Korean pets and strays alike are placed in sacks and pounded against the ground, sometimes boiled alive or "torn apart" alive for fresher tasting meat. For those dogs not facing such immediate cruelty, they are left to watch all of this from their overcrowded cages. All this is committed despite the 1991 law that prohibits the human consumption of dogs. Please veto all Korean products now.
In tears,
Timothy J. Verret
