Help Scarlet and Jimmy get a new start in life

November 23, 2018 by EK Park, Executive Director

It was a hot summer day that I first saw Scarlet and Jimmy. They were two of 69 dogs in the Dangjin dog meat farm; Scarlett was locked in a filthy, rusty and cramped cage while Jimmy was tied to a cement block outside.

The Hard Work Starts Now!

September 7, 2018 by EK Park, Executive Director 2 Comments

On Sept 1st Free Korean Dogs rescued 69 dogs from the Dangjin Meat Farm. After the dogs were removed and sent to various shelters, the Korean activists and volunteers stood by and watched as the Dangjin Meat Farm was bulldozed. Although the demolition was cathartic, and an apt representation of the collapsing of the dog meat trade, the hard work starts now!

Help Us Demolish a Korean Dog Meat Farm

August 28, 2018 by EK Park, Executive Director 3 Comments

Two years ago, the founder of Free Korean Dogs, EK Park, was visiting her home town of Dangjin, South Korea when her GPS took her on a strange route. While lost, she drove along an unfamiliar, rural road and came across a solitary farm. Her heart sank. EK has rescued over 600 dogs from Korea, so she could tell she had stumbled upon an illegal dog meat operation.
