Dear Editor:
 
According to the Korean Governor's Association database, your city has a sister city relationship with Seoul, the capital of South Korea.
 
But I doubt whether the majority of citizens here would be comfortable with this relationship if they knew of the horrors inflicted on hundreds of thousands of dogs in South Korea in the barbaric ‘meat dog’ farms, every year!
 
In South Korea, thousands of dogs, bred or stolen, are kept crammed in filthy metal cages.
They’re fed on the carcasses of other dead dogs, and they’re deeply distressed from a combination of boredom and terror.
 
I ask that your publication bring attention to two important issues:
 
-the existence of the illegal, horrific and often concealed dog and cat meat trade in South Korea
-whether the relationship between Seoul and your city is appropriate, given the vast difference in standards of animal welfare and treatment of sentient beings between the two places.
