2019 Bok Nal Protest
On July 11, 2019, LCA, ALW, and actress Kim Basinger held a joint press conference with MP Pyo Chang-won ahead of the 2019 Boknal protest, demanding the Korean government to pass MP Pyo’s proposed amendment to the Animal Protection Act, which would outlaw the slaughter of dogs and cats for meat across the country.
On July 12, LCA and ALW gathered in front of the National Assembly in Seoul, S. Korea to protest Boknal—the hottest days of the Korean summer when the consumption of dog meat soup, known as “Boshingtang” rises to combat the extreme heat. Countless protesters joined LCA and ALW for a silent memorial and held replicas of dead dogs to represent the dogs that were brutally slaughtered for their meat.
Vietnam: Stop Dog Meat Abuse
Despite Vietnam’s work to stop illegal smuggling of dogs and cats into Vietnam from Thailand and Laos, dogs are still smuggled in from different entry points. Vietnam has a growing number of pet owners who live in constant fear of having their pet stolen by local dog or cat thieves, whose sole mission is to sell their companion to a butcher for quick cash.
