Animal lovers have successfully rescued hundreds of dogs from the meat trade in China, where they were moments away from being slaughtered. These dogs are now thriving in the UK, thanks to the efforts of organizations like Slaughterhouse Survivors Animal Rescue, led by Hayley Hayes in Harbin, China, and New York-based Run 2 The Rescue. Despite international outrage, approximately 30 million dogs are killed for human consumption each year, with 10 million of those in China alone. Rescue operations involve meticulous planning, including veterinary care and assessments to ensure the dogs' needs are met. Many of the rescued dogs are deeply traumatized and require intensive rehabilitation before they can be rehomed. Organizations are working to educate prospective owners on the special care these dogs need, emphasizing that recovery goes beyond physical health. The ongoing efforts of brave rescue crews in China continue to negotiate the release of dogs from the meat trade, highlighting the urgent need for awareness and action.
