Humane Society International shuts down second farm, to end dog meat cruelty and find dogs loving homes
Fifty-seven dogs and puppies have been rescued from a dog meat farm by Humane Society International and Change for Animals Foundation in South Korea. The dogs are now on their way to new lives in Northern California. The dogs range from beagles, poodles, and Korean Jindos to large Tosas and have spent their entire lives in small, filthy, crowded cages exposed to all weathers on the farm, waiting to be killed for their meat.
Millions of dogs suffer across Asia for the cruel dog meat trade. Most are snatched from the streets, but South Korea is the only known Asian country to have a farming industry that produces dogs solely for meat. HSI and CFAF are partners in a consortium that is campaigning to end the trade and is engaging dog meat farmers in South Korea to transition them to alternative livelihoods, such as crop growing. In this case, HSI agreed to remove all the dogs and be responsible for their rehoming.
The farmer involved had bred dogs for meat for 20 years and is part of an industry that sees upwards of two million dogs consumed in South Korea each year. Facing criticism from family members for his participation in this trade, the farmer was eager to work with HSI to close his farm and start a new life raising produce.
The dog meat trade is brutal, and the method of slaughter grisly. Most dogs raised for meat in South Korea are electrocuted in full view of others awaiting the same fate.
Dog adoption in South Korea is limited to mostly small, purebred dogs. Public awareness campaigns are needed to highlight the cruelty of the trade, and close the gap in perception between “pet dogs” and “meat dogs” so that eventually in-country dog adoption becomes possible. Investigators have found that even dogs bred to be pets can end up part of the industry if nobody buys them. HSI’s long term objective is to encourage the Korean government to assist farmers to transition to alternative, more humane activities.
In January, HSI and CFAF rescued 23 dogs from a South Korean dog meat farm, and worked with the farmer to convert to growing blueberries. All those dogs are now living in the United States with new families or undergoing rehabilitation with our Emergency Partner Shelters.
