Robi was the last of the 50 dogs rescued from a dog slaughterhouse and meat farm in Yongin, South Korea.
He didn’t realize it at that moment, but the moment he was freed and took his first steps outside his cage, his whole life changed. It’s regrettable that dog meat is still being traded in some parts of the world.
All innocent animals that are mistreated by humans should be treated with compassion and respect.
“We collaborated with animal rights organizations in South Korea on this rescue to prevent the 50 dogs from being sacrificed after the authorities closed the facility.”
The dogs were found in sterilized metal cages without water or food. Working with local authorities, Humane Society International/Korea, LIFE, Korean K9 Rescue, and Yongin Animal Care Association mobilized to help save all the dogs.
The Taepyeong dog slaughterhouse, the largest in South Korea, was closed in 2018, while the Gupo dog meat market in Busan was closed in 2019.
The mayor of Seoul declared the city’s capital “free from dog slaughter” in October 2020, while the country’s supreme court ruled a year earlier, in 2019, that a dog breeder who electrocuted puppies was in violation of the Animal Protection Law.
The decision could have far-reaching consequences for an industry that relies almost exclusively on electrocution as a means of execution.
“Thank you for your help, member organizations!”
But for you to see where all this pleasure comes from, it’s worth the time, the price, and the reverence. But for you to see where all this time comes from, pay the price and the pleasure of the arc.”
