We had a blast at our Toronto and Vancouver Freedom Walks, but all good things must come to an end.

Join Us for Freedom Walk to End the Dog Meat Trade
Today, August 15th, is Malbok, marking the last day of Boknal, Korea’s annual dog meat ending consumption. By this time, hundreds of thousands of dogs would have needlessly suffered and lost their lives due to a tradition driven by misguided beliefs.

WHY JOIN?
It is estimated over 2 million dogs in South Korea alone are slaughtered for meat each year. Many are brutally tortured prior, as it is believed the adrenaline released from the stress of torture makes the meat tastier and enhances nutritional and healing properties.
By shedding light on their horrible practice through education and awareness, we hope to create a shift from cruelty to compassion both locally and across borders. To date, we have found forever homes for over 1,000 dogs from the dog meat trade and other at-risk circumstances through our rescue, rehabilitation and adoption program.
