The thought of farming and eating dogs is utterly abhorrent to most Americans. We regard dogs as beloved pets and best friends, drawing a clear line of distinction between them and the animals we consider “food.” However, in part of the world, eating dog is just as culturally acceptable as eating chicken.
An estimated two million dogs are slaughtered for meat every year in South Korea. Thankfully, Humane Society International (HSI) is working tirelessly to end this practice. And it looks like they are making definitely progress!
This video features the rescue of 57 dogs from a meat farm in South Korea. The farmer who owned this facility decided to shut down his dog farming business and transition to agriculture to make a living. HSI was able to get custody of the dogs and has arranged to have them sent to the U.S.
All 57 of these lucky dogs arrived safely in San Francisco and will be on their way to a new life in no time at all. Good luck, pups!
Kate, I\’m sure you mean well, but don\’t believe the HSUS/HSI hype. HSUS stashed $26 million in Cayman Island hedge funds in both 2012 and 2013 (go to Guidestar and see the HSUS tax returnsm pages 32 and 33 respectively. HSI is based in DC and does very little for animals. Fact check every claim and see the exaggerations, how little they actually spend (and it\’s mostly on themselves), how HSUS and HSI steal credit for others\’ work, etc. Their main activity is videotaping, press releases to every media outlet, getting a lawyer to grant them custody of dogs and then (often) filing for reimbursement of their expenses. It is amazing that HSI is fundraising off this countless overseas animal charities and advocates have to do the heavy lifting on shoestring budgets. Just when there is an opportunity for these organizations to gain publicity and funds, HSUS/HSI comes along and makes a money grab. Speaking of Asia, HSUS\’s tax returns list "related organizations" including a "Humane Society of Hong Kong Ltd." It does not exist except as a money laundering office for their direct mail mill. Check the task returns and ask HSI about it. They will blame the messenger as always, accusing anyone that tells the (easily documented) truth of being an animal abuser. If you want to buy that line, go ahead. Just think about and verify what I have written. Take care
