ABC News reported on March 4, 2022:
“Thousands of South Korean firefighters and troops were battling a large wildfire on Saturday that tore through an eastern coastal area and temporarily threatened a nuclear power station and a liquified natural gas plant. The fire, which began Friday morning on a mountain in the seaside town of Uljin and has spread across more than 6,000 hectares (14,800 acres) to the nearby city of Samcheok, destroyed at least 159 homes and 46 other buildings and prompted the evacuation of more than 6,200 people…. There were no immediate reports of injuries or deaths.”
People were able to evacuate but the thousands of dogs imprisoned in raised wire cages are left to die a horrible death. This happens all too often in South Korea. What these dogs have to experience is unimaginable horror and tragedy!
In Uljin and Samcheok area, there are numerous dog farms and dog slaughterhouses.
The Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth (CARE) team rushed to the area to survey the conditions of these dog farms.
Below is CARE’s post from one of the dog farms they visited.
A forest fire in Uljin had reached the dogs imprisoned in their locked cages at dog meat farms.
The dogs at this farm were barely alive, clinging to life after being badly burned. They are enduring unimaginable pain but are still licking each other’s wounds.
Dosa puppies, probably not even 6 months old, bred as meat, were seriously injured in the wildfire that spread to their cages.
Adult dogs were charred to death in the next cage or suffocated to death from inhaling smoke.
In horror and pain, starving, injured sibling dogs endured pain by licking each other. More seriously burned puppies died shortly after.
This is hell. We will rescue some of them.
Even if 150 were to be quarantined by the county (Uljin County has not taken any action yet), the county government will not properly treat the burned dogs, so CARE had to make another difficult decision to rescue the injured puppies.
We decided to rescue, transport, and treat six seriously injured puppies with burns.
It’s going to be very expensive. We are asking for your help.
We would appreciate any help for the dogs who have suffered burns and smoke inhalation so much that they need oxygen masks and have to go into oxygen rooms.
Today, sick dogs are being taken to the hospital. We are grateful to Dog Dream for your solidarity with CARE in this treatment and protection activities. CARE will remain on-site to take care of the dogs who have been starving for the last two days. We will update you again later.
