How I wish there was something I could do

About a year ago me and a Korean friend passed a foreigner and a dog on the street. My friend looked utterly surprised as he saw the dog. 

I thought that it was because of the dog’s temper, as he/she was pulling the leash making it hard for the owner to keep up. Or that it was because a foreigner was walking a dog. Now I know the real reason behind my friend’s reaction. The dog looked like a dark coated version of the Nureongi. The Nureongi, or yellow one (direct translation), is a South Korean dog that is commonly raised for his/her meat, and is rarely kept as a companion, a friend.  On Facebook I follow Marc Chang and his “The Animal Hope & Wellness Foundation”. Through his videos, and other documentation of his trips to South Korea to save dogs from the meat market I’ve learned a lot. I know it is wrong to just say “don’t eat dogs because they’re like our babies,” this should be for all animals out there, suffering, alone and in pain, in agony, screaming for help in the dark. I respect people who do not eat meat, and I respect those who do, BUT the torture that all animals go through, the life they live before their life is taken from them, to be put on someone’s plate, is not right. To be hit, strangled, and boiled alive is not right. 

Sorry about this sudden post, and a short one, and a not so detailed one, and I thought many times to delete what I wrote because I feel like I may not have expressed myself in the right way, or right information or.. but I just had to let my heart breath.
