[Animals] WAN Exclusive On No Dogs Left Behind’s Rescue Of 28 Dogs From The Dog Meat Trade In East Asia; Canadian Fosters Urgently Needed!

Last week, No Dogs Left Behind (NDLB) rescued 28 more dogs from the brutal dog meat trade in China. For the first time, the organization flew the dogs to safety in Canada.

 

“Today marks a major milestone in our efforts to continue our life-saving work for dogs in East Asia. “This is our first Freedom Flight to Canada, and we are so proud that our 28 survivors arrived safely and will now be serving as ambassadors of the movement in Canada,” Jeffrey Beri, Founder of No Dogs Left Behind, told WAN. “As global animal transport becomes difficult to navigate, we will not give up. “We always find solutions that will allow us to continue our work to end the reckless slaughter of animals and advocate for global animal welfare laws.”
Finding the solution to relocate the dogs to Canada was necessary in this case following the United States' temporary suspension of the import of dogs from 113 countries, including China. The reason for the controversial ban, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), is that dogs from certain countries “allegedly” present a high-risk of spreading canine rabies for a period of time.
“We currently have more than 100 dogs waiting to be united with their adopters in the United States,” states a message on the No Dogs Left Behind website. “The only legal way to transport our survivors to the United States is to relocate them to a non-high-risk rabies country, such as Canada, and keep them there for a period of six months before importing them into the United States.”
