SEOUL―In a major milestone for global animal protection, international animal group Humane World for Animals (previously called Humane Society International) has completed its final large-scale dog meat farm rescue mission in South Korea before the country's historic ban on the dog meat industry comes into full enforcement in February 2027. The group rescued more than 70 dogs from a dog meat farm in Gangjin this week, marking a poignant final chapter for Humane World for Animals, which has rescued almost 3,000 dogs from South Korea’s dog meat farms since 2015.
