A new Toronto rescue, A Better Spot Foundation, focused on saving dogs from a dog meat festival, has just brought eight dogs safely to Toronto.
The so-called Yulin Dog Meat Festival is an annual event in southern China, created in 2010 by dog meat traders.
Toronto resident, Magnus Khun Purdy, tells blogTO he first heard about the abuse back in 2011. I saw a picture and it pretty much changed my life it was a dog getting abused at the Yulin Dog Meat Festival, he says. It really affected me in that I thought I ve got to do something.
