Sooooo.. South Korea has a dog meat festival like China
I had no idea they transport these rescued animals here to American dog shelters for adoption
I think they might be kinda messed up psychologically, maybe some of them, no?
I couldn't watch the video but included it for anyone interested.
FULL STORY
An animal protection group freed 149 dogs from cages days before they were due to be were killed and eaten.
The dogs, including 15 newborn puppies, were destined to be turned into spicy soup in South Korea.
The rescue operation came ahead of the country's annual Bok Nal dog meat festival, when more than a million of the animals are killed and eaten.
HSI has closed down nine farms since 2014, rescuing and rehoming nearly 1,000 dogs. It said it provided support to farmers who wanted to escape the trade.
The dogs freed from the Yulan farm this week had been destined to be sold to a nearby meat market, where they would be electrocuted and butchered in time for Bok Nal.
They are to be flown to animal shelters in the US and found new homes. Fifteen of the animals were too small to fly and will be kept with their mothers in South Korea until they are old enough to be transported.
