Dogs rescued from certain death at meat farm arrive in US

By Agence France-Presse in Alexandria, Virginia | China Daily | Updated: 2015-01-07 07:38

A dozen dogs originally destined for dinner tables in South Korea arrived in the Washington area on Monday to be adopted as pets.

They were the first of 23 dogs being imported into the United States this week as part of a campaign to combat the eating of dog meat in East Asia.

The Washington-based Humane Society International located the dogs at a farm in Ilsan, northwest of Seoul, where they were being bred specifically for human consumption.

The farmer - who acknowledged a personal fondness for dogs - agreed to give up the animals, accept an offer of compensation and grow blueberries instead, HSI director of companion animals Kelly O'Meara said, as the mongrels settled into kennels at the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, Virginia, after a flight from Seoul.

HSI has been working with local groups in China, the Philippines, Thailand and Vietnam to raise public awareness of the dog meat trade.

"But South Korea is unusual because it actually farms dogs to supply demand," O'Meara said, while other countries target feral dogs as food.

Every year, between 1.2 million and 2 million dogs are consumed in South Korea, she said, supplied by farms that number "at least in the hundreds".

O'Meara said it was the first time that dogs from South Korea intended for human consumption had been rescued and brought into the United States, where a brisk demand for adopted dogs and cats is met by a thriving network of animal rescue groups and shelters.

All 23 South Korean dogs - the second batch is due to arrive Tuesday - will undergo veterinary checks in Alexandria, before being distributed among five other shelters in the Mid-Atlantic states for adoption.

"By helping these 23 dogs, we'll be helping a lot of other dogs in South Korea" by raising public awareness of the dog meat trade, said Megan Webb, executive director of the Animal Welfare League of Alexandria, which finds homes for about 1,000 dogs a year.
