The organisers, Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth, picked Friday for their protest because July 12 is considered one of the three hottest days of the year according to the traditional Korean calendar. Many Koreans eat dog meat specifically on this day, as well as chicken soup, in the belief that it helps them best withstand the heat. "They do not need your tears, they need your help," Basinger said of the dogs. "We have to end this cruelty on this planet. We have to help anything suffering. It is tradition, but it is against the rights of animals."
