Outrageous women treatment in South Korea
Recently 2 women were attacked by 5 men just because they weren’t wearing makeup and had short hair!!! And the POLICE did not arrest the men!!! One of the women had a so serious injury that you could see her skull!! And beyond that, other men on the internet were supportive of the agressors, saying the women deserved it!!! I was planning a trip to S. Korea next year with 5 other friends but immediately cancelled everything right after I knew about it. I will not go to a country where women are not respected and the authorities do not act on such situations, I will make sure to let everyone I know about this só they don’t go to a place like that where my lady friends can be in so much danger!

Dog Meat Trade
Dear Consulate Staff,

Can I have your attention please ?
Dogs are wonderful animals, and we humans must be grateful for al the help they give us.
They are used for helping disabled people, blind humans ,as companions for elderly people. There are drug detecting dogs , rescue dogs, they can even detect cancer in humans. But apart from being so useful, they are man's best friend !

And what are the South Korean people doing with these lovely animals ,dogs and cats also ? They are eating them !

But before being eaten, they have to suffer atrociously . They have to live in extremely small cages . And at the end of their miserable lives, they are tortured , skinned alive, cooked alive and/or their fur is burned off alive. It makes me cry.

I can feel that you must be ashamed that your people are committing such barbaric acts against animals.

Please try to convince your government to use all their INFLUENCE TO STOP THAT HORROR AND TRY TO EDUCATE THEM IN THEIR BEHAVIOR TOWARDS ANIMALS. 
Do not ignore it. Ignoring is even worse than doing it.

Mahatma Gandhi once said, "The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated”

Sincerely, with much respect,
Angel Ivanov

unpaid wages (First emai I did not get answer-this is 2-nd)
I used to work at Discount World store in Hollywood, Los Angeles in the year of 1999.
The owner of that store Dong Son owes me $10,000 and he fled the country to escape prosecution.
What kind of help you can offer for me in order to try to get my money back?
