Dogs saved from Korean meat farm to find forever homes in Quebec-Read this story from ctv.com with happy ending

Forty-six out of more than 170 dogs that were meant to be eaten will be finding forever homes in Quebec; four others will be destined for Ontario.
The animals were rescued from a now closed dog meat farm in South Korea by the Humane Society International with assistance from the Montreal SPCA. The dogs will be sent to shelters across the province, with 16 staying in Montreal.
"For the second consecutive year, the Montreal SPCA is pleased to assist HSI/Canada with this important rescue. Our team is eager to meet the 16 dogs and provide them with all the care and individual attention they require. We are relieved that they will soon be placed in loving homes, where they will get the chance to live happy and healthy lives," said Élise Desaulniers, executive director of the Montreal SPCA.
"The dogs will be settling in at the Montreal SPCA where canine behaviour experts, veterinarians and staff will care for them. Many of the dogs are timid and will be seeking patient and calm adoptive families to help them adjust to their new lives. They will become available for adoption December 18 at noon."
The dogs were confined to cramped, barren wire cages with little food and water with little to no protection from the elements.
In South Korea, an estimated 2.5 million dogs are slaughtered for the meat trade annually.
Senior campaign manager for HSI/Canada Ewa Demianowicz said female dogs were kept for years, forced to bear litter and litter of pups so they could be sent off to be slaughtered.
"We are so happy that they will receive that care here in Quebec and that many of the dogs could be in forever homes in time for the holidays" Demianowicz said.
While the dog meat trade is most widespread in China, South Korea, the Philippines, Thailand, Laos, Vietnam, Cambodia and Nagaland in northern India, the Montreal SPCA is hoping the closure of this farm in South Korea will help show people there are animals being slaughtered in Canada, living in similar conditions.
"As compassionate that we're being towards these dogs and we're showing so much empathy to them, one thing that we also hope that people will also extend their empathy to the animals that are being farmed here in similar conditions as the dogs were and being slaughtered in horrific ways" SPCA Montreal spokesperson Anita Kapuscinska told CTV Montreal.
"They are all sentient beings and this happens here also in Canada, just not with dogs but other animals who feel pain, have specific individual needs that are not being tended too and we hope people will reflect upon that and show some empathy towards these animals here, all the pigs the chickens and other animals being farmed here as well."
