Korean Products offered on HSN aren't tested on animals BUT

  • gymberle
  • 01.11.20 6:22 PM

over a million dogs are eaten in South Korea per year.
I doubt this post will ever be posted but I cannot watch Colleen Lopez tell the viewership about the humane production of the products being offered.

If anyone doubts this, check it out. They have actual “dog farms” raising dogs for human consumption. I know it’s not just South Korea who eat dogs (and cats)in Asia, however, this just hit me all wrong had to post this.

    This is nothing new. It’s been going on for years, and I don’t agree with it, but how is this any different than the barbaric way cows, pigs, chickens and other animals that are killed to be eaten are treated in the US? I have a dog, and I would never harm him and I certainly wouldn’t eat him, but anyone who isn’t a vegetarian who is so appalled at what South Koreans do is nothing short of a hypocrite.

    All this info is truly horrific. Honestly, don’t the HSN hosts feel guilty telling these lies about Korean cosmetics, etc? I know the bottom line is $$$$$$, but isn’t there some time and place where the truth matters for these hosts? I was never a fan of Colleen, but this has really increased my dislike of her. Thanks to all for this valuable info that some of us, including me, didn’t know.

    Thank you math426, I agree with you.
    The abject cruelty those precious innocent animals endure is truly soul-sickening. I frequently talk with rescuers here in Malibu Ca. who fly into that part of the world and rescue as many animals as they can and bring them back to the US for medical care and adoption. They never stop trying to talk those people who commit these atrocities to end it. But I was told those horrid people seem to derive pleasure in causing pain to those innocent animals. They have stepped outside of the human family.
    That part of the world also leads in child kidnapping and selling, and sex trafficking.
    Each and every step we take to end such atrocities, even if it’s a micro-step, leads to good change.
    Stay Safe and take care ~

    Have you seen how they treat those poor dogs and cats? I think they would be better off as lab animals than dinner. I will never buy from Beauty Spy or any other company that comes from this part of the world until they stop this torture and inhumane treatment of animals. Shame on HSN and Beauty Spy

    • Roslaund

    Only buy made in America right now. Buy nothing from other countries. It helps America and keeps you safe.

    • motorman
    • 05.02.20 12:53 PM

    Make sure you don’t buy anything from these countries too as they still eat dogs (and cats):

    China, Indonesia, Korea, Mexico, Philippines, Polynesia, Taiwan, Viet Nam, the Arctic and Antarctica and two cantons of Switzerland.

    It was also legal in 44 states in the U.S. until:

    “President Trump Signs the Farm Bill Making Dog and Cat Meat Illegal in the United States”

    December 21, 2018 12:19 AM Eastern Standard Time

    WASHINGTON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–On December 20th, in a groundbreaking victory for animals in the United States and across the world, the “Dog and Cat Meat Prohibition Act” was signed into law by President Trump as a provision of the Farm Bill. The bill was spearheaded and sponsored by the Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation (AHWF), a nonprofit that rescues dogs and cats from the dog and cat meat trade abroad. The Act makes it a federal offense to slaughter, trade and import/export dogs and cats for human consumption, a practice that was previously legal in 44 states.

    Thank you cbriley, for canceling your order for Neogen cream.
    The ingredient decks on the containers do not list everything that’s in the products, and they “Still Do Animal Testing” even though the vendor vows that they don’t, stating the government has outlawed it. And as far as those cosmetics being years ahead of the USA and other countries, that’s completely idiotic and Not True.
    I think, now, we’re all very clear that the upper echelon and science of that part of the world can not be trusted.
    I talk frequently with a rescue organization here in Malibu CA. that fly into that part of the world and rescue dogs and cats, and what they have to tell and the photos and videos they’ve taken are absolutely soul-sickening. You simply can not “un-see” the horrors those people inflect on innocent animals. People who do that to any animal while watching and listening to the animals shrieking and writhing in unfathomable pain, those people have stepped outside of the human family.
    The way they slaughter pigs is like looking at something right out of hel_ ! The ungodly misery they put those animals through is completely unnecessary – there are far more humane ways of farming and bringing pigs and cattle to market that they have complete access to, but choose not to use.
    Does anyone really believe that COVID-19 was not engineered? The scientist who was working on COVID-19, and who tried to warn the world, “disappeared” along with his colleagues.
    Please do not buy “anything” from that part of the world.
    Stay Safe Everyone, try and keep calm, and rally in the outpouring of love and support we have for each other ~ ((((((((((((SUPER HUGS))))))))))))))))) ~

    Almost bought Neogen face cream on HSN after Coleen said she uses it everyday. Canceled my order right away when I saw it was made in Korea. Now I have to check if creams and make up are made in China!! Would you really want to put mascara on your eyes that is made in Wuhan!!

    • MaryF1962

    The United States food industry is guilty of horrific treatment of animals too.

    • latcarf7
    • 03.23.20 3:59 AM

    Actually you can email Mike George @ QVC.com. MG has a team who reviews all the posts to see if they think it’s worth kicking upstairs. I have emailed MG several times and they did get back to me. I knew SK ate animals we keep as pets, but we raise pigs, chickens, ducks, etc. in this country. I don’t see what the difference is, an animal is an animal.

    • khbfield
    • 03.23.20 2:25 AM

    What’s even more horrifying is the animals are not always dead when they go to remove their fur with a blow torch. Will never buy anything from South Korea.

    • DAISY1690
    • 03.23.20 12:31 AM

    When I hold my little Shih Tzu closely in my arms I think of those poor animals being tortured. eaten, living in filth, may God punish the Animals who are doing this. There are decent people in Korea why can’t they try to help these poor animals. My little one is so loved I’ll just hold her a little closer.

    • katval
    • 01.22.20 11:47 PM

    wow, I am returning a product I recently bought, I thought somehow south Korea was different?
    Why are they misleading us? Well I know why actually, it worked. but no more!

    Thank you so very much cbriley. I completely agree with you, money does scream – and what a horrifying shame, a disgrace on humanity, when “money” allows innocent, defenseless, lives to be tortured and slaughtered ~ dogs, cats, love unconditionally, and all animals respond to love and humane treatment. And “people” who treat them otherwise have stepped outside of the human family.
    I’ve talked with rescue groups ~ wonderful people ~ who go to these areas and bring animals back to the US for adoption, and what they have seen and heard is beyond description in mere words.
    I’ve got letters in the mail and I’m getting friends to do the same.
    Bless your heart for caring ! (((HUGS)))

    • BonnABC

    ~ I kindly – implore all of you who love and respect animals to please, please, take a minute and write a letter to Mr. Mike George the President and CEO of Qurate Retail Inc – they own HSN and QVC. We can’t email him, but his very kind assistant, D. J. Mitchell, told me in a phone conversation that we need to send letters by regular mail, addressed to –

    Office of the President Mr. Mike George
    QVC Inc. 1200 Willson Drive
    Studio Park, Westchester, Pa. 19380
    Mail Code 219, D. J. Mitchell

    The envelopes need to be addressed that way so D. J. will receive them and give them to Mr. George. Otherwise it will not reach him directly.

    Posting on the community forum is great, but if we can get as many caring people as possible to write and send letters, that will get results in stopping HSN and QVC from supporting products from countries that are so abominably cruel to animals.

    In our wonderful country it’s rather difficult to fully realize the abject cruelties that dogs, cats, and other animals are subjected to in other parts of the world.

    It’s horrible that HSN has discontinued Serious Skin Care, Elysee, and other co’s but are “supporting and spotlighting” South Korean products. The vendors and hosts will blather on endlessly about how the SK government has outlawed animal testing – they still do animal testing – and torture animals – they want our money and are playing us for fools. Well, we’re not fools.

    The people in Korea and other countries who are fighting against these monstrous cruelties can use our help. And writing and mailing a letter to Mr. George is an easy simple act, but can make a difference.

    The letter can be short, but graphic to get our point across – such as –
    ( Dear Mr. George,
    As a good customer to both QVC and HSN, I along with many others will boycott both shopping networks because we can not and will not tolerate the selling of products from countries, like South Korea, that commonly practice the most abhorrently cruel treatment of animals. They raise dogs in the most deplorable conditions and maim them, inflicting horrendous unbearably painful injuries on those innocent, intelligent, animals before they mercilessly slaughter them, then eat them. Cats, and domestic livestock are treated no differently.

    Their treatment of children, who are born less than perfect, or poverty stricken is quite appalling.

    There are people fighting such unspeakable cruelties, and we can help them by doing our part and not supporting products from countries, like South Korea, that commonly practice such monstrous, barbaric, inhumane acts.

    Most sincerely, )

    I hope you write a letter, and get other to do the same. I’m going to. Thank you so very much for caring, I’m very proud of all of you. (((Hugs)))

      • cbriley

      Money doesn’t talk..IT SCREAMS!! I will get my letter out promptly. Thanks so much for the heads-up.
