A group of 31 dogs rescued from meat breeding farms in China arrived in the US to begin their new lives in American homes, an animal welfare group said Tuesday.
The pack of rescued pooches were the first to arrive in the US in over a year, due to a temporary government ban on importing canines from abroad that was sparked by fears of a rabies outbreak, according to the China Rescue Dogs organization.
“To know these dogs now have a second chance at life and will experience love for the first time, makes all the time spent on a project like this worthwhile,” the group’s Vice President, Brandy Cherven, said in a press release. “They were being sent to the slaughterhouse when we stepped in and saved them.”
The dogs were rescued April where owners were planning on selling them to slaughterhouses and the Yulin Dog Meat Festival.
