Robin was one of 50 dogs rescued from a dog slaughterhouse and meat farm in Yongin, South Korea.

He didn’t understand it at the time, but the moment he was freed and took his first steps outside his cage, his entire existence changed. It is terrible that some places in the world still trade in dog meat.

Humans must show compassion and respect to all innocent creatures who are being abused.

“We cooperated with South Korean animal rights organizations in this rescue operation to prevent all 50 dogs from being euthanized after authorities closed the facility.”

The dogs were discovered in sterile metal cages without food or water. Humane Society International/Korea, LIFE, Korean K9 Rescue, and Yongin Animal Welfare Society stepped in to help rescue all the dogs, working with local authorities.

South Korea’s largest dog slaughterhouse, Taepyeong, closed in 2018, while Busan’s Gobu dog meat market closed in 2019.

The mayor of Seoul declared the city capital “dog slaughter-free” in October 2020, after the country’s highest court decided a year earlier in 2019 that a dog farmer who electrocuted puppies violated an animal protection law.

The ruling could have far-reaching implications for an industry that relies almost entirely on electrocution as a method of execution.

Thank you for your help, member organizations!”
