South Korea: “You’re OK, you’re OK,” Lola Webber, a debate manager with a Humane Society International (HSI), whispers to a lab-mix puppy, cradling her in a coupler as dozens of dogs bellow in circuitously cages.
The puppy is changed from a rusty enclosure on a dog-meat plantation in South Korea to a cosmetic crate, given a name Demi, and placed in a lorry where she starts a prolonged tour to a preserve in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, to be put adult for adoption. “As shortly as they’re prepared for adoption, we find that there are line-ups of people – literally people would line adult during shelters – in a U.S. to adopt these dogs given people are so intent by their unhappy and constrained stories,” pronounced Andrew Plumbly, another debate manager for a HSI.
Demi was one of 10 dogs discovered on Tuesday from a plantation in Wonju, 90 km (55 miles) from a South Korean capital, Seoul, where 200 dogs were being lifted for tellurian consumption, to start new lives as pets underneath a HSI’s campaign. The plantation is a sixth that a organisation has helped tighten down in South Korea given 2015, and follows six-months of negotiations, medical examinations and vaccinations. Because airline flights can usually lift a singular series of dogs a day, it will take a integrate of weeks for HSI to rescue all 200 of a dogs during a farm.
Hygiene there is “non-existent”, Plumbly said, with rubbish collecting underneath cages where dogs are unprotected to extremes of continue and fed once a day, according to HSI. The owners of a farm, who has been in a business for 30 years and declined to be identified, cited bad health as a reason for removing out of a business.
Consumption of dog beef is on a decrease in South Korea, where it is especially eaten by comparison people and dogs are increasingly renouned as pets. Still, HSI estimates there are 17,000 dog-meat farms in a country.
Humane Society International hopes a supervision will anathema a tact of dogs for beef forward of a 2018 Winter Olympics to be hold in South Korea.
Recently, a mayor of a city of Seongnam, Lee Jae-myung, who is using for president, systematic a closure of a large dog-meat territory of a city market. Seafood will be sole there instead.
