Rescue group Retrieve A Golden of the Midwest (RAGOM) is working hard to save dogs from China. Homeless dogs in China are in a bad situation, according to Amy Lake, the development manager of RAGOM.

RAGOM is rescuing dogs from China, especially those that are caught in the dog meat trade.  RAGOM is a non-profit group currently working hard despite the COVID-19 crisis. Many dogs depend on international rescuers to be flown out of the city, but with travel on lockdown from coronavirus, it’s been more difficult than usual to get the dogs out.

The Yulin Dog Meat Festival is June 20-21 and China’s rescue shelters are seeing an increase in dogs due to the coronavirus. It means groups like RAGOM are needed more than ever to rescue dogs. RAGOM partnered with other non-profits to charter a plane to get the dogs out of China and the group was able to fly almost 100 dogs out of China, with help from China dog rescue.

RAGOM is currently looking for help raising funds to cover the cost of the flight. The price of the plane is covered and rescue groups need only cover the fuel and other expenses.

The group needs to raise $260,000 by early July. “This is an all or nothing fundraiser, which meach if we don’t reach our $260,000 goal, we won’t be able to charter the plane,” Lake said.

This is a good time to reconsider our intake of animal products to stay healthy. Reducing your meat intake and eating more plant-based foods is known to help with chronic inflammation, heart health, mental wellbeing, fitness goals, nutritional needs, allergies, gut health, and more! Dairy consumption also has been linked to many health problems, including acne, hormonal imbalance, cancer, prostate cancer and has many side effects. 

For those of you interested in eating more plant-based, we highly recommend downloading the Food Monster App — with over 15,000 delicious recipes it is the largest plant-based recipe resource to help reduce your environmental footprint, save animals and get healthy!
