Dogs saved from Korean dog-meat farm arrive in Calif.

Nearly 60 South Korean dogs raised for slaughter have arrived in Northern California to begin new lives as human companions instead of dinner.

The Humane Society International and the Change for Animals Foundation rescued the 57 adults and puppies from a dog-meat farm, outside Seoul, whose owner agreed to get out of the business and grow chili peppers instead. The canines, ranging from beagles, poodles and Korean Jindos to mastiff-like Tosas, began arriving this week in San Francisco, where the local SPCA is caring for them until they are ready for adoption around the region.

The dogs had lived under cruel conditions — crammed into small, dark, filthy, unheated cages. They were destined for markets where their kind are electrocuted, hanged or beaten to death before butchering.

The rescue and farm conversion was the second since January, when 23 dogs were removed from a similar operation in the South Korean countryside.

In Pusan I saw this same breed of yellow dogs (some as large as Mastiffs) being transported on everything from bicycles to pickup trucks, they were in cages so tight the animals were immobilized.

Even though I didn't actually see the dogs going to the slaughter, it was a simple deduction as to what was going on. It's a sickening thought for a dog lover.

And in the International Market in Pusan (just a large flea market), where meat hangs openly, I saw legs like the one pictured below with a sign that had Korean writing and at the bottom, written in English, the sign read "Chicken".

I. Kid. You. Not.
