Korean Police issued with Cruelty Instruction Manual
#1
The Korean newspaper "Herald Economy" has reported (Nov 11th) that the national police agency in Korea has issued an Animal Cruelty Instruction Manual to all police stations. This is the first time in history that the police have been given instruction to intervene in animal cruelty situations.

It may mark a change in the dog and cat meat trade in Korea. That's what the hopes are about right now. I sincerely hope so.

But as a commenter on that article has mentioned, it would be good to see an actual list of what constitutes "animal cruelty" in Korean law.

Although this isn't a petition, it is an update on a petition.

The very existence of the manual is major progress. It means they recognize that animal cruelty is wrong.

Now of course the big question is what do they consider an act of animal cruelty. It may not come up to our standards, but it is still an improvement.

I think this must have a direct effect of the dog and cat meat trade. So much of what is done in the dog and cat meat trade is very cruel. There is no way even the most lax standards could let that go on.
