80 dogs RESCUED from a South Korean dog meat farm
The Eric S. Margolis Foundation has proudly been a long time supporter of Humane Society International/Canada and the valuable work they do around the world. When the foundation was approached to assist with the rescue of 80 dogs from a South Korean dog meat farm, there was no hesitation. The request was urgent and we knew critical to the outcome we all wanted.
Foundation head Eric Margolis commented:
“There was no time to lose, we had to help get those innocent dogs to freedom, with medical help and facilities to house the animals all waiting for them in Canada. Not to mention an outpouring of love and compassion. Another outstanding example of teamwork lead by HSI Canada.“ The Foundation travelled to Montreal to greet the dogs along with photographer and animal lover Ryan Emberley.
“ I felt so many emotions on my visit ... but nothing could top witnessing a mother reunited with her pups .. instant awareness, happiness and love. It is a reminder that animals feel all the emotions humans feel .. terror, loss, abandonment, love. I witnessed all positive emotions on my visit as these dogs were finally free, being looked after and above all being loved. What a joy it was.”
