We discussed the dog meat trade in Korea and China on the old forum, I seem to remember. The worst thing about it is that the poor dogs are boiled alive - apparently because the perpetrators of this heinous act claim that the meat tastes better. There are some kind souls in that region, however, who are fighting to abolish it. Let's hope they succeed.

I am very touched and moved by the hard work of the Soi Dog Foundation. I hope they can help to make changes so desperately needed. The dog meat trade is completely heartbreaking.
I find it too hard to watch videos about it. My heart goes out to those who are brave enough to go out there and try to change attitudes/laws concerning the dog meat trade.
I clicked on your link Catherine, but for me, it only produced a Soi Dog logo....Is the link okay?

Yes the link works fine now. I just spent a while on their site, reading everything. They do some wonderful work.
I watched Soi Dog -the movie, quite a while ago, but think I will watch it again.
When you think about it -this was all started by a couple who visited Thailand. They were so moved that they started the foundation, and it has grown indeed from very small but heart-felt beginnings by a man and wife who cared. They gave up everything to change their lives to help those dogs. (and cats.)

I still want to watch the movie, but I do want to start earlier so I don't fall asleep half way through. I don't know what I was thinking of when I posted the link. I usually check to make sure a link works.
I did not realize that the foundation was started by a man and wife.
They have started something that is making a difference. I am sure when they went to Thailand they did not foresee what the future would hold for them.
If anything is going to change things for animals in those areas it will be organizations making people aware and actually rescuing the animals.
I must spend some more time on the web site checking out every section.
