In China alone, estimates suggest a shocking 10 million dogs are killed each year for meat. They are forced to endure the most horrendous forms of abuse as they are tortured to death in front of each other. It is not uncommon for dogs to be bludgeoned, cut, beaten, amputated, skinned alive or thrown into boiling water. Footage from inside slaughterhouses and butchers show it to be nothing more than callous abuse and the worst example of humanity. Currently LRRSE have nearly 90 dogs in China, rescued from the meat trade and patiently waiting to return to their forever home in the UK. We are their last hope. But with rising travel costs due to the coronavirus pandemic, the total cost for their safe return is likely to top £150,000. As a small charity, run entirely by volunteers, they cannot do it without our support. Please donate to give these beautiful souls the life they deserve.
