Welcome to KARA

Korea Animal Rights Advocates is a volunteer, non-profit organization in Korea whose members support and promote animal rights. We believe that animals have a right to live their lives free from tyranny and suffering.

As in other countries, the exploitation and abuse of animals is a constant problem in Korea. It is made worse by Korea's very poor animal welfare reputation and its weak and ineffective animal protection laws. In general, animals are not given much regard and the general public is uninformed about animal issues. These are among the reasons why Korea is a hell on earth for many creatures.

KARA works constantly to educate the public and raise awareness of the ethical issues surrounding the treatment of animals in Korea. Through this we hope to bring about lasting change.

 

The Dog Meat Issue

The Korean Alliance for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (KAPCA) is leading a protest over a disgraceful dog farm in Incheon.

What was found on the farm is typical of dog farms all over Korea. But it seems that government officials in Incheon have absolutely no interesting in solving the problem.

Amazingly, this dog farm is near a kindergarten and a high school!

2010 Anti-Dog Meat Campaign

2010_dogrally17

Summer is the worst time for dogs in Korea. Dog meat is supposed provide energy and counteract the energy-draining heat of the Korean summer. So, more people eat dog meat and dog killing increases to meet demand. Some slaughterers might work overnight in slaughter-shed hell-holes, killing dogs one after the other.

Every summer KARA campaigns against the cruel dog meat industry. More on this summer's campaign here.
