Dogs From 'Meat Farm' In South Korea Arrive In San Diego For Adoption Dog from "meat-farm" arrives in San Diego

By TONY PERRY

Twenty-nine dogs that were once part of a "meat farm" in South Korea arrived Thursday in San Diego for possible adoption, part of a Humane Society program that hopes to end the Korean tradition of eating dog meat.

"The dog meat trade is one of the most horrific forms of cruelty," said Gary Weitzman, president and CEO of the San Diego Humane Society.

The Humane Society International has taken possession of more than 100 dogs from a South Korean farmer in recent months, paying the farmer to transition to other crops, according to news coverage in Korea.

The dogs have been sent to Humane Society and Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals chapters in the San Francisco Bay Area and Sacramento.

The 29 dogs -- mostly mastiffs, Jindo-mixes and Chihuahuas -- arrived Wednesday night on a 14-hour flight from South Korea to San Francisco International Airport.

A "special response team" from the San Diego Humane Society drove the dogs to San Diego, where they will be evaluated by veterinarians before being placed for adoption.

Dogs are made of meat. I wouldn’t eat one, but you can’t escape that fact.

I bet that guy say's that about chicken and pig meat as well.

If they want to eat it that's fine with me. I prefer to not eat it.

Cute story, and I'm an animal lover - but some perspective here:

Nobody gives a rat's-ass about those little baby girls and little baby boys getting their arms and legs painfully ripped off or having their organs carved out of them while their little hearts are still beating.

And that's the bloody reality in our sick America today. We deserve the psycho President and traitorous Congressional leaders we have.

The Lewis and Clark expedition survived on dog meat even preferring it to horse meat.

Speaking with some experience in this field, he's fundraising.

That's why we have them. The USA is under judgement, and I don't see things getting better.

When I lived in Korea my cute little pup was dog-napped right off my porch, and probably became brisket. Nonetheless, dogs are meat, and if people want to eat them I don’t see how it’s any different than cows, pigs, goats or horses. BTW, I am probably among the worlds most devoted, protective dog owners— I love my Chow Chows, they are family. But ultimately, I do believe that people have the right to do what they please with their own property as long as it doesn’t cause significant and direct harm to others.

"Drink!"

Nothing stronger than coffee now-a-days - already drank enough whiskey to roll a battleship around....

They were hunters, there was plenty of game. They were never starving.

I wouldn’t say Korea is a filthy culture. They eat dog. Japanese eat whale. Americans spend more money on ponography than football, basketball or baseball combined. Filth is relative.
