These Celebrities Came Together To Bring Awareness To Dogs Being Tortured For Meat
“We are here asking you to stop the cruelty.”
We recently wrote about Marc Ching, the owner of the Animal Hope and Wellness Foundation. Ching has dedicated much of his life to saving dogs from torture and abuse incurred by the dog meat industry in many Asian countries.
The Humane Society estimates that 30 million dogs are killed across Asia every year as part of the industry. Due to a myth that the meat tastes better, these dogs are often tortured before being slaughtered.
