Dog tortured and bred for EATING is rescued and we’re all bawling
While we're so happy this little pup has been given a happy ending, she literally had to go through hell to get there.
Chi Chi landed in Arizona yesterday to be united with her new forever home and thankfully has a happy, normal life to look forward to.
The Labrador pup was bred in South Korea for human consumption (yes, to EAT) as dog meat is considered a delicacy in certain parts of the world.
And according to ARME, the shelter that found Chi Chi and rehabilitated her, her story is a truly horrific one. (And we mean truly so you may wanna skip over this next bit if you are sensitive to animal cruetly).
A spokesperson for ARME revealed that the gorgeous pooch was kept in horrendous conditions as she was prepared for the meat trade.
"During this time her flesh was believed to become more tender, by binding her legs together and hanging her upside down while being tortured day in and day out. All this was done in darkness. She was beaten and felt nothing but extreme pain and terror.
"She was hung by her legs for so long and so tight that the binding starting entering her flesh. Her legs became so badly infected that her flesh rotted off her bones.
At which she was no longer of use as 'meat,' because her 'meat' had been rotting, and therefore she was thrown away in a trash bag and left to die."
It was then that the pup was found and treated though a vet had to remove her paws as they were so severely damaged.
Thankfully that's where Chi Chi's old life ended and her new, and happier one begins.
The dogs Facebook page saw thousands of donations and words of support allowing her to find her way to her new forever home. And we couldn't be happier for her.
