Petition: https://chng.it/cgH6hg9B4f

Call for Action: https://koreandogs.org/worldexpo2030/

BIE reported as below:
“Three candidatures for World Expo 2030 will be considered for election in November 2023: the Republic of Korea (for Busan), Italy (for Rome) and Saudi Arabia (for Riyadh).

On June 20, during the 172nd General Assembly of the BIE, Member States were presented with the findings of Enquiry Missions carried out by the BIE to assess the candidature projects for World Expo 2030. Following this, Member States voted to retain the three projects that were considered by the Executive Committee of the BIE to be viable and in line with BIE regulations.

In November 2023, during the 173rd General Assembly of the BIE, Members States will elect the host country of World Expo 2030 via secret ballot on the principle of one country, one vote.

The Republic of Korea’s candidature is for a World Expo in the city of Busan between 1 May and 31 October 2030 under the theme “Transforming Our World, Navigating Toward a Better Future”.”

South Korea, until your nation stops torturing and consuming innocent animals that regard humans as guardians and friends, your slogan of “Transforming Our World, Navigating Towards a Better Future” will remain an empty promise.

PETITION:

Members of Bureau International des Expositions (BIE): Please send a clear message to South Korea that torturing and slaughtering dogs for food is cruel and barbaric. Please DO NOT vote for South Korea (Busan) to host the 2030 World Expo.

Dear members of Bureau International des Expositions (BIE):

Today, I urge you to stand against the appalling and despicable cruelty committed against millions of innocent dogs and cats in South Korea every year. Please send a message to South Korea that torturing and slaughtering dogs for food is cruel and barbaric by NOT voting for South Korea (Busan) to host the 2030 World Expo.

While graphic, these undercover videos depicting South Korea’s dog meat industry are important to watch:

Dogs who suffered their entire lives are tortured and electrocuted to death in cages—South Korea’s horrific dog meat industry: https://koreandogs.org/jtbc-news-electric-tortured-in-cages/

South Korea consumes millions of dogs each year. There are countless dog farms and slaughterhouses within the country. Web searches turn up thousands of dog meat restaurants and so-called “Health Centers” that commonly serve soup made of dog meat as phony elixirs (also known as dog soju).

Dogs suffer their entire lives in filthy, feces-encrusted raised wire cages in pure misery, only to be slaughtered in the most horrific of ways— electrocution, hammer strikes to their head, hanging, being beaten to death, having their throats slit, being burned alive with a blowtorch or thrown into a vat of boiling water while still alive. In many places, dogs are killed in full view of other caged dogs who tremble with terror as they watch, knowing they await a similar fate. These poor dogs are often burned alive in their cages, unable to escape. They are fed rotten, maggot-infested garbage for food, often full of spicy chili peppers and unfit for any animal to eat. They are not given any water to drink. Beloved pets are often stolen and sold to these slaughterhouses, where they meet the same horrific fate. Puppies who die of starvation or disease are tossed away like trash, or left in front of cages to rot in full view of their mothers, who cry out in despair.

These sickening practices have no place in the modern world. Other countries in Asia have banned eating dog meat and the cruel industry that goes with it many years ago: Taiwan in 2001, Hong Kong in 1950, the Philippines in 1998, and Thailand in 2000. Why does South Korea lag behind these countries and other civilized societies?

It is the responsibility of the South Korean government to finally end the cruel dog and cat meat industries. Now is the time to stop normalizing these businesses and their vile products with absurd lies and propaganda. And now is the time for South Korea to start taking animal protection seriously and ensure a truly compassionate and ethical society for all. That means President Yoon Suk-yeol and his government must enforce laws that ban the torture, killing, sale, and consumption of dogs and cats. They must better educate the public about the importance of spaying and neutering, not abandoning companion animals, and treating them humanely.

As members of BIE, you have the power to make a difference for these innocent animals who are forced to endure the most agonizing and unimaginable suffering. Would you please stand by them today and be their voice? An online petition is waiting for your support to help end these horrors in South Korea: https://chng.it/cgH6hg9B4f

Thank you for your serious consideration.
