Importing U.S. beef is very controversial these days. According to the internet news, the beef from U.S. will be spread in Korea at least in 1 week. To demonstrate against that, a lot of citizens are gathering in many places in Korea with candles. They have insisted that the government should stop this trade for the health of Korean citizens.

However, the government totally has ignored the voices of citizens and said they won’t stop this horrible trade. Also they are saying that citizens are persuaded by wrong information and they can assure the safety of U.S. beef. But what the government is saying is wrong information. There were a lot of reports that warn people dangerousness of cow which is fed meat and we all know that Mad Cow Disease was found in England before. I can’t believe that how government will make it safe this new disease which doesn’t studied enough so that doesn’t have medicine at all.

In addition, I saw one article from Chosun express which says that students who are participating in the demonstration are related with “Korean Teachers & Education Workers’ Union”. That means teachers from that union instigated students to participate the demonstration for the political purpose. But real reason of why students participate in the demonstration is that because U.S. beef will be on their table as a school lunch. They are fighting for their life but conservative express use them for political purpose to repress “Korean Teachers & Education Workers’ Union”.

Everybody knows that Mad Cow Disease is fatal disease and it can be spread very easily because its infection way is various. Beef is used for food, medicine capsule, noodle soup, sanitary napkin and many more. Therefore, what the government is doing is killing citizens who vote for them. And conservative expresses who agree the opinion of the government are spreading wrong information which is related to people’s lives. They should stop this horrible trade and apologize to citizens for threatening their lives.
