Un schior american a salvat 90 de caini dintr-o ferma din Coreea de Sud, in timp ce participa la JO de Iarna

Cand a participat la Jocurile Olimpice de Iarna de la Sochi, Gus a gasit doi catelusi langa satul olimpic si a decis sa ii ia cu el in SUA.

Ajuns la Jocurile Olimpice din Coreea de Sud, Gus a vizitat o alta ferma de caini.

"In aceasta dimineata am facut o vizita la una din cele 17.000 de ferme de caini de aici, din Coreea de Sud. In intreaga tara sunt 2,5 milioane de caini crescuti pentru carne, tinuti in conditii inimaginabile. Da, e adevarat ca acest obicei de a manca carne de caine face parte din cultura coreeana. Desi nu sunt de acord cu acest obicei, sunt de acord ca nu e treaba mea sa le spun ce sa faca. Felul in care aceste animale sunt tratate este complet inuman si "cultura" nu ar trebui sa accepte acest comportament. In ciuda credintelor unora, acesti caini nu sunt cu nimic diferiti de cei pe care ii tinem ca animale de companie", a scris sportivul american pe pagina sa de Instagram, potrivit Boredpanda.

Schiorul american a hotarat sa ia acasa unul dintre caini: "Am adoptat acest caine, caruia i-am dat numele Beemo, si il voi lua cu mine in SUA. Abia astept sa ii ofer viata pe care o merita".

Alti 90 de caini de la ferma au fost luati cu ajutorul Jumane Society International si vor fi dati spre adoptie in SUA si Canada.

This morning Matt and I had a heart-wrenching visit to one of the 17,000 dog farms here in South Korea. Across the country there are 2.5 million dogs being raised for food in some of the most disturbing conditions imaginable. Yes, there is an argument to be made that eating dogs is a part of Korean culture. And, while don't personally agree with it, I do agree that it's not my place to impose western ideals on the people here. The way these animals are being treated, however, is completely inhumane and culture should never be a scapegoat for cruelty. I was told that the dogs on this particular farm were kept in "good conditions" by comparison to other farms. The dogs here are malnourished and physically abused, crammed into tiny wire-floored pens, and exposed to the freezing winter elements and scorching summer conditions. When it comes time to put one down it is done so in front of the other dogs by means of electrocution sometimes taking up to 20 agonizing minutes. Despite the beliefs of some, these dogs are no different from the ones we call pets back home. Some of them were even pets at one time and were stolen or found and sold into the dog meat trade. Luckily, this particular farm (thanks to the hard work of the Humane Society International and the cooperation of a farmer who's seen the error of his ways) is being permanently shut down and all 90 of the dogs here will be brought to the US and Canada where they'll find their fur-ever homes. I adopted the sweet baby in the first pic (we named her Beemo) and she'll be coming to the US to live with me as soon as she's through with her vaccinations in a short couple of weeks. I cannot wait to give her the best life possible! There are still millions of dogs here in need of help though (like the Great Pyrenees in the 2nd pic who was truly the sweetest dog ever). I'm hoping to use this visit as an opportunity to raise awareness to the inhumanity of the dog meat trade and the plight of dogs everywhere, including back home in the US where millions of dogs are in need of loving homes!
