Update: Four Million Animals Buried Alive.

Thanks to Vegan.com for this.  

The death toll for buried animals in Korea is now over four million.  They are burying pigs, cows, chickens, and ducks - many of whom are still alive.  Here are some key names and email addresses, plus a sample letter.   Reblog to help save animals!

• Send an online message to the U.S. Ambassador of the Republic of Korea Han Duk-soo
• His Excellency Mr. Hong Ji-in , Consul General at the Consulate General of the Republic of Korea in Toronto , Ontario,toronto@mofat.go.kr
• South Korea Minister of Food, Agriculture , Forestry and Fisheries: Mr. Yoo Jeongbok, master@mifaff.go.kr

Sample Letter :

I hereby request an immediate stop to the burying of live animals. South Korea is a member of OIE (Office International des Epizooties.) Based on the OIE Guidelines, the welfare of animals must be ensured until they are dead. The live burial of animals is thus against the international guidelines that South Korea has agreed to abide by. I ask that any killing of animals, if unavoidable, must be conducted in strict accordance with international animal welfare guidelines of the OIE .
