Dog bred for human consumption saved and adopted

By Claire Anderson

A dog found in a bin in South Korea has had an incredible journey.

ARME’s #DogsInTheDark campaign to end the torture of dogs and cats for their flesh brought them to Chi Chi.

Chi Chi was born in South Korea where dog meat is considered a delicacy. She was kept alive in cruel conditions while her body was prepped for slaughter to be sold into the dog meat trade.

ARME says: “During this time her flesh was believed to become more tender, by binding her legs together and hanging her upside down while being tortured day in and day out. All this was done in darkness. She was beaten and felt nothing but extreme pain and terror.

“She was hung by her legs for so long and so tight that the binding starting entering her flesh. Her legs became so badly infected that her flesh rotted off her bones. At which she was no longer of use as “meat,” because her “meat” had been rotting, and therefore she was thrown away in a trash bag and left to die.”

Chi Chi was then found and saved. A vet had to amputate her legs in order to keep her alive and she has since learned how to walk with prosthetic paws. She now has a family and a home in Arizona.
