30 dogs are rescued from a South Korean meat farm and brought to San Diego
Thirty Korean dogs and puppies that otherwise might have been someone's dinner are getting a new lease on life this week after Humane Society officials rescued the canines and brought them to San Diego.
The animals had been living in crowded and filthy cages at a South Korean meat farm when they were rescued through a program sponsored by Humane Society International, San Diego Humane Society spokeswoman Stacy Archambault said.
"Helping to end the horrors of the dog-meat trade is a critical mission for us," said Gary Weitzman of the San Diego Humane Society. "We have pledged to keep San Diego at zero euthanasia of healthy and treatable animals — and we will keep that promise — but that doesn't mean we will ever turn our backs on other animals in need."
