In a daring and heroic operation, Korean K9 Rescue partnered with KARA to shut down Korea’s notorious Siheung dog slaughterhouse. This facility has been identified as a hub for illegal dog meat distribution, subjecting countless innocent animals to unimaginable cruelty and suffering. Dogs were crammed into tiny cages, awaiting brutal torture and slaughter. The operation led by @animal_kara and activists revealed the horrors behind those walls. The mission resulted in rescuing 24 traumatized dogs needing urgent help and loving homes. The rescued dogs have been exposed to immense trauma and cruelty, but Korean K9 Rescue is determined to turn their lives around. They are reaching out to compassionate individuals in New York, especially in NYC and Los Angeles, to join their mission to provide a second chance to these innocent beings. Through an extensive adoption campaign, they aim to find loving homes for these rescued dogs. The goal is to rehabilitate them and demonstrate that they can overcome the horrors they endured at the slaughterhouse with care, compassion, and proper treatment.

While the immediate battle has been won, the fight for justice continues. Korean K9 Rescue is committed to holding the Siheung butcher and other members of the slaughterhouse accountable for their heinous actions. To achieve this, they plan to engage the city court system and demonstrate that the dog meat distribution and slaughter were inhumane and illegal, potentially setting a crucial legal precedent in Korea. However, this fight will be long and challenging, as animal welfare laws in Korea are still thin and need significant improvement.

Urgent donations are needed to support this cause and help provide a fresh start to the rescued dogs. Korean K9 Rescue is developing a comprehensive campaign to vet and rehabilitate the 24 dogs saved from the Siheung slaughterhouse. The success of this campaign depends on the collective support and sharing of their story of our MidSummer Pup Party in Brooklyn, NY, where funds will be raised for their rehabilitation. Together, we can make a difference and provide these deserving dogs with the love and care they need to heal from the traumas they’ve endured. If you want to adopt a dog in New York or Los Angeles or know someone who is, now is the perfect time to make a positive impact and give a forever home to these resilient survivors.
