Dozens of Dogs Rescued From South Korean Meat Farms Land In U.S

______________________________________________________________________________________
Dozens of dogs rescued from a South Korean dog meat farm are destined for lives of belly rubs and squeaky toys after being flown to shelters in the U.S. over the weekend.

Humane Society International removed the 55 dogs from a farm in Goyang, just northwest of Seoul, after reaching an agreement with the owners, the animal welfare group announced.

Shelters in New York, Pennsylvania and Maryland are accepting the majority of the dogs, which eventually will be up for adoption. Nine of them are being sent to Dallas, where they can also be adopted, an HSI spokesperson said by phone Monday.

According to HSI, this was the seventh dog meat farm to close in South Korea because of its efforts, collectively saving more than 800 canine lives.

In a Facebook Live video published Thursday, a worker was seen removing the animals from dark, filthy cages that had been packed closely together like a maze.
