RESCUES FROM THE DOG MEAT FARMS AND SLAUGHTERHOUSES IN SOUTH KOREA

Rescues from Cow Farm and Graveyard 

JANUARY / MARCH 2022

LOCATION: NAMYANGJU

This graveyard is located not far from Siun’s home in Namyangju City. Siun has been feeding them all alone. There were over 100 dogs roaming around the graveyard and there was a deserted cow farm next to it. These dogs disappears before first Boknal (three dog eating days during hottest summer in Korea) Nami visited the site and saw many pregnant dogs, decided to go ahead with the rescue. Nami was so shocked to see many puppies survived in the horrible conditions. The former cow farm owner near the graveyard was indirectly killing the puppies using square baskets stack by stack when puppies are born. This was how he controlled the number of puppies being born constantly.

A professional trapper volunteered and came along to catch them one by one.  The first batch got caught was eight, they were immediately sent to Dr.Han for spay/neuter and had them all vaccinated (1st shot) None of the pregnant was caught but found one pregnant named Sophie at 2nd batch after two weeks.

This is on going rescue throughout the year until the last dog has been caught. The number will be mulplied again and becomes the victims of the summer dog eating days Boknal in 2022.

16 dogs rescued from #Tobong #DogMeat Slaughterhouse

JULY 2022

LOCATION: TOBONG

NEAR SEOUL

It was late June that Nami received an email from a boy about a dog slaughterhouse in Tobong district in Seoul.

The email had a few attachment and Nami needed to take action right away.

The site was located in such a secluded up in the mountain hidden. Nami called the police and the District office officials to be at the site present to pull all the dogs on the day. It was tough as the slaughter scene was right next to the dogs, Nami had 119 SOS (Korean version of 911 US)  helpers from the region. It took 5 hours to get them all out with the help. All the dogs resisted refused to be pulled. To the dogs being taken out of the cages means “Death” It was a big struggle.

Initially the total heads was 14 then Nami found out there were two more that the butcher was hiding them up in the forest. Nami went back to get the two remaining dogs and the rescue was completed. Half of the dogs are highly traumatized, some are already warming up.

The butcher turned out he is 80 years old this year spent whole life raising the dogs and supplying the meat in the region.The butcher is gone out of business but Nami keeps monitoring keeping her eyes on the butcher.
