Tei and the Auto Shop

In the middle of winter, a 16-pound, 2-year-old terrier mix wandered into a South Korean auto repair shop. It was likely the dog’s previous owner had abandoned him, so someone brought the dog to a nearby animal shelter.

The shelter, in Asan, South Korea, provided the dog with basic shelter, food and water. But they dog stayed in an outdoor kennel and had to endure the harsh winter without any warmth.

Band For Animal

Band for Animal is a non-profit organization that works between Virginia and Korea. It’s comprised of volunteers whose mission it is to rescue dogs facing euthanasia, abandonment or death via the meat-market trade.

The Dog Meat Trade

South Korea has a long-standing tradition of using dogs for human consumption. Most often, dogs stay cramped kennels to starve and suffer torture before being slaughtered and turned over to restaurants or other vendors.
