 OPERATION 

 NOT  TODAY. 

 Ending impulsive pet purchases ​

 Think before you take a life home. 

 Abandonment 

starts the moment
you take a pet home.

In South Korea, many companion animals are abandoned

due to behavioral issues, financial burden, and changes in lifestyle.

However, these are not unexpected problems;

they are the result of impulsive decisions made without preparation.

Over

 100,000+ 

animals are abandoned every year in South Korea.

We Change the
 Moment of Decision 

We focus on the point where
people choose to take a pet home,
'preventing impulsive choices.

We Introduce a
 Waiting System 

We propose a mandatory waiting period
that prevents same-day pet acquisition.

Future Pet Owners

During the waiting period,
prospective owners complete
license education program on
responsibility, cost, and long-term care.

Through campaigns, petitions,
and advocacy, we work to
transform this system into 

a national policy.
