Blossom is here! Rescued from S. Korean Dog Meat Slaughterhouse. Watch the video of her new beginning.

 

Dear John,

Great news! The nine dogs rescued from a S. Korean dog meat slaughterhouse are starting to arrive in the United States.  In July, LCA and S. Korean sister organization, Animal Liberation Wave (ALW), released an 8-month undercover investigation into two illegal S. Korean dog meat slaughterhouses. The investigation resulted into a raid on a slaughterhouse and ensuing pressure on the S. Korean government to stop the dog meat trade. The dogs starting to arrive in the U.S. are from the slaughterhouse raid.

The first dog, Blossom, arrived two days ago at Los Angeles International Airport. Blossom flew with a volunteer from Korea on Asiana Airlines and was greeted at LAX by LCA staff and volunteers, actress and activist E.G. Daily, START Rescue and Hands, Paws & Hearts Rescue group. Watch the video of her new beginning.

Blossom is adjusting well to her new surroundings. According to the rescue, Blossom is not exhibiting the common behaviors that would be associated with dogs rescued from a violent environment, such as fear of being touched or handled. Blossom is loving, trusting and "a truly amazing soul".

The remaining six dogs in S. Korea awaiting flights are safely in the care of a no-kill animal shelter with ALW sending frequent updates. All the rescued dogs spent time in a veterinary hospital being nursed back to health and have been spayed or neutered and vaccinated. Volunteers are being recruited to accompany the remaining dogs on their respective flights to the U.S.

“Today we celebrate as Blossom begins a happy new life. However, we reiterate our call to the S. Korean National Assembly to immediately enact the legislation which would end the dog meat trade and save millions of animals from suffering and death,” said Chris DeRose, LCA's President and Founder. “It’s enough, the majority of S. Koreans oppose this horrific industry. The law must be changed to reflect the will of the public.”
