south korean rescue did undercover investigation to several meat dog farms, auctions etc...filming and taking fotos, devastating is that a beautiful yellow labrador mom and her babies is there with several other breed dogs, which in asia are more and more abandoned by owners getting tired of their status symbols. or stolen (1000 dogs daily transported from thailand via laos to vietnam tables). owners mostly have no clue how to train their labradors and other breeds, don´t understand what they bought etc...how to treat them.

its a big step forward helping the dogs as we get more and more information via facebook. i´m in contact with elly maynard new zealand who has worked to end the business since day one.

if someone wants the whole recent report which shows the map of south korea with marked numerous farms, auctions, etc visited + the video showing the labs just kindly contact me please. i asked my rescue friends there about the dogs shown, and was informed that the labradors are no more alive...but my reason says the mom might be still used for litters??? just my little brain thinking and my big heart.

writing this only to inform you as its good to know which is possible today as news travel fast. ritva and her beloved labradors in finland. working since 2008/9 to help as i found proof of the 1st to my knowledge labrador, the chocolate boy rescued from illegal slaughterhouse in china by wonderful animalsasia´s jill robinsson and her moonbear rescue team...the boy passed over the rainbowbridge in loving arms. (my work today as my retired army officer/military history writer husband got brainbleeding 2004 and all my personal labrador activities stopped.)

nothing is written to offend anyone in anyway.

This Sunday Thai authorities assisted by investigators intercepted approximately 200 dogs in Mukdahan close to the Mekong river. The dogs were hidden in plastic chicken cages as in the photos, in an attempt to disguise what they were doing. Dogs would have been smuggled across the river and then transported to Hanoi dog meat markets.
