Purpose of my life and dogs.

Lucky to have a park nearby

I truly love this resort! Everyday we walk about an hour. I enjoy sightseeing birds animals and human. I think we need to donate money to this facility.

Pet products and cruelty

2010-03-01T20:06:00.001-08:00

This dog shoes which I purchased from Korean website (gmarket.com) seem to be rediculously uncomfortable. However, more shockingly, many sellers of pet products in this website use real animals as model. I can see many many animals wearing clothes, hats, shoes, sunglasses, etc. under strong indoor lights. I am sure they never concern about animals' health because animals are just a fitting model and they can buy and throw animals anytime.

Just for comparison I search similar products on Ebay and many sellers use dolls instead of live animals at least.

I go to Korean church in the US. I have asked some elders about dogs (e.g., dog meat, training, adoption, etc.). And my conclusion is this: they are still very Korean although they have lived long long years. They just don't (can't) eat in the US but still think pet as a materials or things we can do whatever we want (kill, play, cook, whatever).

Hell for dogs is not far from heaven for us.

2010-01-12T17:44:00.001-08:00

I cannot say there is hell or heaven on earth or in Korea specifically. However, the town shown below is only 10 minutes from hell. Just imagine there are dog markets only 10 minutes from Orange County or Time Square in the US. Richest, most educated, and healty Koreans are living only 10 minutes from biggest dog markets in Korea. The city is named Bundang.

I do not want to share pictures of hell although brave people go into there and take pictures.

I sometimes think whethere I can tell the market is hell if my parents, friends, or relatives have worked for years and supports me financially. Maybe very hard. Korean was very poor even 20 years ago. Many had the business for living not for being super rich. There must be many still having the business for living. I never say people having the business are devil. However, i am just shocked and surprised by people who have lots of education or international knowledge that basically let people judge what is right or not. But they are doing nothing.

Don't want to imagine.

I don't want to imagine,
what is happening in dog farms
worst food dogs should eat to survive
how people treat animals with anger
how are they killed by people
how much mother dogs cry for their puppies
how much they are thirsty, cold, hot, and hurt
how many people eat dogs
why they want to eat friends
what puppies think in their cages
how do dogs feel in cages floating 3 ft above

December news letter fromK KARA

http://animalrightskorea.org/newsletters/newsletter-issue-12-dec-09.html

Korea where dogs are suffering.

2009-12-31T16:34:00.001-08:00

Today, I read one article about one gentleman (Mr. Lee) displaying posters of dog-meat-fact in Los Angeles Korean town (http://blogs.dogtime.com/the-news-hound-blog/2009/09/south-korean-hopes-to-end-dog-eating). He informs many people why we should not eat and should protect dogs, etc.

More interestingly, some commenters say that if Mr. Lee is not a vegetarian, he is hypocrite. And most of them said that they are Korean-American.

Just imagine how much hard to fix the problem is gonna be if many many Koreans think the problem we have in that illogical way of thinking.

There is an old saying "throw egg to rock" meaning we are doing some impossible mission. It is really hard to correct someone's wrong thinking (rock) with our limited resources (egg). But i will try.

This is my country where Pomeranian, Shizu, Yorkshire, Chiwawa, Poodle, and other dogs are eaten due to wrong belief.

Helping hands in Korea

2009-12-30T21:27:00.000-08:00

There are only handful numbers of official group helping animals, especially dogs in Korea. Among them I would like to introduce KARA (Korea Animal Rights Advocates). They not only publish newsletter every month in English, but also magazine only in Korean. The group is currently led by a famous movie director, Soon-Lae Lim, and they just succeeded in canceling a hunting television program by protesting. All donated materials and money are reported at the end of month in Korean, so if you want to know how they spend your money, you may request them. As many organization do, the group's financial status is very bad but many volumteers and staff spend their time and money for literally prevent dogs from being beaten and eaten. Help them, please help them. They are accepting PayPal donation in the web.

what I am interested in..

2009-12-30T13:32:00.000-08:00

As many people do, I have lots of interest in many things.
To run a blog, having some specific purposes of the blog may be better.
Then, what is my interest? Dog, animal, ocean, science, family, DIY, (nothing special), so to speak.

However, I wish this blog can give more attention to incident what is happening to animal, more specifically, dogs in my country, South Korea.

I really hope my passion saves at least one dog...hopefully more than one, though.
Typical dog farm you can find in South Korea. There is NO specific species which people eat.
