Gus Kenworthy este un schior american din Colorando, care a salvat 90 de caini de la o ferma unde se fabrica carne de caini din Coreea de Sud, in timp ce participa la Jocurile Olimpice de iarna din 2018.

In 2014, in timpul Jocurilor Olimpice Sochi, Gus a gasit 2 catelusi langa satul olimpic si a trebuit sa parcurga un proces greu sa ii ia in America cu el si acum a salvat chiar mai multi caini.

New Olympics. Same me.

"In aceasta dimineata eu si Matt am vrut sa vizitam una dintre cele 17,000 ferme de caini din Coreea de Sud. In jurul tarii sunt 2,5 milioane de caini crescuti pentru mancare in cele mai groaznice conditii, aproape inimaginabile. Mancatul cainilor este o traditie in cultura coreeana. Desi noi nu agreeam acest lucru, sunt de acord ca nu este dreptul meu de a-mi sustine idealurile vestice oamenilor de aici. Felul cum animalele sunt trate, este complet inuman , iar cultura nu ar trebui sa accepte o astfel de cruzime. Indiferent de credinte, cainii nu ar trebui sa fie tratati diferit de cum ii tratam noi acasa.", a scris Gus pe Instagram.

This morning Matt and I had a heart-wrenching visit to one of the 17,000 dog farms here in South Korea. Across the country there are 2.5 million dogs being raised for food in some of the most disturbing conditions imaginable. Yes, there is an argument to be made that eating dogs is a part of Korean culture. And, while don't personally agree with it, I do agree that it's not my place to impose western ideals on the people here. The way these animals are being treated, however, is completely inhumane and culture should never be a scapegoat for cruelty. I was told that the dogs on this particular farm were kept in "good conditions" by comparison to other farms. The dogs here are malnourished and physically abused, crammed into tiny wire-floored pens, and exposed to the freezing winter elements and scorching summer conditions. When it comes time to put one down it is done so in front of the other dogs by means of electrocution sometimes taking up to 20 agonizing minutes. Despite the beliefs of some, these dogs are no different from the ones we call pets back home. Some of them were even pets at one time and were stolen or found and sold into the dog meat trade. Luckily, this particular farm (thanks to the hard work of the Humane Society International and the cooperation of a farmer who's seen the error of his ways) is being permanently shut down and all 90 of the dogs here will be brought to the US and Canada where they'll find their fur-ever homes. I adopted the sweet baby in the first pic (we named her Beemo) and she'll be coming to the US to live with me as soon as she's through with her vaccinations in a short couple of weeks. I cannot wait to give her the best life possible! There are still millions of dogs here in need of help though (like the Great Pyrenees in the 2nd pic who was truly the sweetest dog ever). I'm hoping to use this visit as an opportunity to raise awareness to the inhumanity of the dog meat trade and the plight of dogs everywhere, including back home in the US where millions of dogs are in need of loving homes!

Impreuna cu prietenul lui Matt, Gus s-a decis sa ia un caine acasa. "Am adoptat acest bebelus, l-am numit Beemo si va veni cu noi acasa in SUA sa locuiasca cu mine dupa ce ii voi face toate vaccinurile. Abia astept sa ii ofer posibilitatea la viata. 90 din ceilalti caini de la ferma vor fi dati spre adoptie in SUA si Canada cu ajutorul Humane Society International.

Chiar daca sunt multi alti catelusi in conditii rele, fiecare ajutor conteaza.
