100 + Dogs Saved From China Dog Meat Festival, Now Find Home In Canada!
Canada's Humane Society International has made it possible for 110 dogs, destined for a Chinese dog meat festival to find a new life in Canada. Rebecca Aldworth, the executive director of the animal rights group said the dogs landed in Toronto this week, after their rescue from China's horrifying Yulin festival earlier this year.
While Yulin celebrates eating dog meat and drinking liquor as a health supplement, 10 to 20 million dogs are killed in China for food, often in barbaric and unhygienic conditions.

"We saw horrific things. Dogs were crammed together in rusty iron cages so tightly that they couldn't move. They were gasping for air. Their bodies were covered in open wounds," she told The Globe And Mail

"These dogs have endured a level of cruelty that most people can't bear to watch on video and they need time to regain their trust of people, but I'm confident every one of them will make amazing companion animals," she said.
