Koreans Rally Against U.S. Beef Imports
June 28th, 2010 | by admin |
CHAN:
Thousands of South Korean cattle farmers held a rally against the import of U.S. beef yesterday. Their agriculture ministry announced that it would relax import regulations.
STORY:
South Korea’s beef industry has denounced the import of U.S. beef. Thousands of stock raisers rally in front of the agricultural ministry in Gwacheon, Seoul.
They are afraid for their industry since Washington agreed to improve its safety standards by toughening animal feed regulations.
That opened the way for South Korea’s agriculture ministry to relax regulations on importing U.S. beef.
The head of South Korea’s beef association, Nam Ho-gyung, condemns South Koreans for willingly accepting U.S. beef.
[Nam Ho-gyung, Hanwoo Beef Association]:
“The U.S. Bush administration, along with the Senate and the House, are aggressively looking for ways to sell their beef using free trade agreements, and the country succeeded. We’re living in a country which is crazy about buying U.S. beef.”
South Korea currently imports only boneless beef from US cattle younger than 30 months as a result of a case of mad cow disease in the United States in 2003.

Korea is like a mad dog? Korea’s one of the earliest countries in Asia to declare Kyoto Protocol and more efforts to improve carbon emission. Korea is also making efforts to close international relationships with China and Vietnam.
We’re also making the biggest automobile deal with developing countries such as Africa. And we’re internationally committed with climate, war and charity support.
Everybody loves Korea. You’re just blind sighted by your mental retardation.

My Korean friends, lets face facts because there is no future in the fonting. but please explain the basis for hating because we have never had any case of mad cow disease in the U.S. and also we never blamed you, or raised it to one nation vs. another, for an individual act when thirty-something people got mowed down like nothing at Va. Tech – but it was anti-u.s. pandemonium when those two girls were accidentally killed by an armored vehicle.

but as you see–it is always the americans who complain because things are too difficult for them and that is sad. there is a reason why it is called a different culture,something many do not grasp and the different culture DOES NOT have to change unless what they practice is against God. americans are not the ones who need to be pleased here

Are you serious? Do you have any idea what you’re talking about or do you just enjoy spewing out shit. The north having enough power to take over the south? Like I said, you’re ignorant. Grow up a little before you post your next comment because you sound like an elementary student who just learned their first swear word.

South Koreans are protesting against the government which lifted the ban for US beef because the government decided to import US beef even though it hasn’t turned out to be safe yet. As a matter of fact, I could be really dangerous especially for Asians who are more likely to get infected by mad cow disease, genetically. As far as I know, South Korea is the only country in the world importing US beef older than 30 months which is critical point for mad cow disease. Just like each one of you we
