Dozens of dogs are settling in at our care and rehabilitation center in Maryland after arriving last week from an illegal dog meat farm in South Korea. Members of our staff accompanied them on their flight, greeted them at JFK International Airport, rode with them to our rehabilitation center in Maryland, and witnessed the moments they took their first steps out of their crates, their first steps into a new life. All 50 dogs who have arrived in the U.S. are receiving veterinary and behavioral treatment before moving to shelter and rescue placement partners for adoption. Seventeen additional

    What does that have anything to do with anything when there are documented places in the world where they eat dogs. It’s not racist to call on people to do better.

    White people eat cows and dogs in rural Switzerland, it’s not just an Asian thing. Humans suck in general.

        Dogs and Cows both deserve the same moral consideration. Where did I say “I care more about dogs in particular?”

          You didn’t, but a canadian posting about dog meat kind of says all it needs too. Like I said, this is tangentially related at best. It feels similar to PETA’s shock efforts, which I don’t think helps the cause at all.

            I regularly post about the other animals. So it’s not just dogs I’m focusing on…

              Still just feels off. I don’t know what to tell you. But you really seem to need the last word so I’ll sign off here.
