Korea is the only Asian country that
actually farms dogs to supply the dog
will train it’s something that has
developed over the course of several
decades it has not been a culture that
it existed for centuries as it has in
some other Asian countries these animals
live in cages that are often overcrowded
three to five of them in one’s very
small cage they receive very little care
very little food and they simply exist
on the edge of survival every day to
then just be slaughtered one day these
23 dogs are acting as ambassadors for a
campaign we’ve now launched in Korea to
try and reduce the overall dog meat
consumption in the country yeah we
learned of this farmer that had some
ideas already of closing so we have them
signed a pledge that states that they
will stay out of the industry for a
lifelong commitment as well as help them
to transition into a humane trade that
is along the lines of raising crops it’s
not so much the issue of dog meat and
the consumption of dog it’s how these
animals are raised and ultimately
slaughtered it’s the cruelty behind the
trade
why bring dogs here from Korea because
it spikes adoption locally they’re
compelling story brings light to the
homeless dog situation the homeless cat
situation that exists throughout this
country our goal was to take them into
one shelter first quarantine them for a
period of five or six days but there’s a
total of six shelters including ours
that are taking these dogs we have to
remember that they’re coming from a life
where they lived in a cage for their
entire life or on a chain this is going
to be a lot of stimulation for them if
they’re ready to go they’ll get adopted
probably fairly quickly in a week or two
otherwise we may have to put them into
foster homes to get them used to living
in a home environment and then make them
available these animals live such
miserable lives for for the period of
time they do only to then be hauled off
and slaughtered in some horrific way
we’re trying to raise the public
awareness both in Korea and
internationally of the cruelty that
exists behind this trade and make people
understand so that possibly there can be
a reduction in the trade of dog meat
