REUTERS: Dark Side of Japan’s Pet Industry.

Reality is always tinted by flashy illusions. Clothing stores for pets shows warped phenomenon which was created by the pet industry in Japan. You wonder, where are puppies and kittens at pet shops go, if they are not sold? Why are there only puppies and kittens? Why are they in a small plastic case and being sold after midnight in the downtown of Tokyo? Something terribly wrong is going on but the dark side of the pet industry has not been shown to public it is always hidden, as the news depicted the sickening truce about a pet funeral undertaker that kept dumping pets’ dead bodies in the mountain in Saitama.
First when Kim Kyung-Hoon contacted me, I was not sure how much she knew about the problems about animals in Japan. She has spent a lot of time and begging her boss to let her cover the dark side of the pet industry in Japan. She did it so well. She wrote a short but very straightforward story about the pet industry in Japan. She video-taped “dream box” where unwanted dogs and cats will be suffocated and be killed by carbon dioxide gas.
Please hear their voices. These dogs you see in the video in the Tokushima pound have destroyed.
