These 14 Dogs Just Got Rescued From a South Korean Meat Farm – And They Couldn’t Be Happier

Earlier this year, Humane Society International (HSI) discovered a dog meat farm in Goyang, South Korea that had everyone on the rescue team appalled in disbelief. Thanks to the dedication of HSI, these lovable pups are now safe and sound in the U.S. and just got adopted into forever homes. Now, the HSI Animal Rescue Team has gone back to South Korea, this time to shut down another dog meat breeder farm and rescue the 14 dogs on the farm.

The HSI Animal Rescue Team is currently in the process of removing the 14 dogs from horrific conditions.

The dogs were understandably scared and confused.

Looking into this dog’s soulful eyes, we cannot understand how anyone could let themselves harm him. 

But life for these 14 dogs is about to change forever – for the better. 

Once chained and forced to live in squalor, these 14 dogs are now getting the help they desperately need. 

Soon, the dog meat trade will be a thing of the past. One by one, dog meat breeding farms are shutting down!

In South Korea alone, two million dogs are slaughtered a year for their meat. The dogs – some of which are bred for consumption while others are captured homeless dogs or even stolen pets – live a miserable existence in farms that closely mirror the horrific life animals experience in factory farms. These poor dogs spend their lives trapped in small, barren wire cages, without any access to proper care or even the most basic needs.

Thankfully, there are rescue groups, such as Humane Society International who are working towards saving dogs from the meat trade and permanently ending this barbaric practice. Even with the promising (although unconfirmed) news that the Yulin government is set to prohibit restaurants, street vendors, and market traders from selling dog meat at infamous Yulin Dog Meat Festival, there is still much to be done to fight this barbaric industry and we need your help. Many people are not aware of the cruel practices and dangers or even the existence of the dog meat trade, so your best course of action is to educate yourself and others to expose the truth of this industry – share this article to get started!
