GIC TALK TITLE: Become an Animal Rights Activist!
For today’s GIC Talk, we
were honored to have Lisa Crone and Heo Jiseong with us to talk about how
to “Become an Animal Rights Activist”.
Lisa Crone, an
activist for animal rights, is now in charge of an animal shelter located
in Gwangju. She introduced us to GACHI – Gwangju’s first non profit animal
welfare organization.
First of all,
Lisa Crone showed the GIC Talk audience members pictures of diverse dogs and
told the story of how she started to engaged herself with that work. Lisa and
her friends not only volunteered for the shelter, but adopted
personally the dogs and cats that were sick and disabled. She
explained how to protect and maintain the animals' health.
She promoted not
buying a pet but adopting one and advocated new laws that
carry real punishment to the owners and enforcement of the law. She added that we need to reduce the number of existing dog
farms and illegal breeding.
She requested
honestly that everybody needs to be educated. For children, they need to be taught about how to
respect animals as emotional beings and consider dogs and cats as a
member of their family. For adults, they are advised to stop eating dog meat, to accept mixed- breed dogs and to avoid negligence and
abandonment of dogs. Finally she stressed again the importance of adoption rather than shopping.
Thank you Lisa
Crone for sharing your opinion and experience about pets’ rights and showing us your love for animals. I believe that through today’s speech, the
audience will have a better understanding of animal’s right.
