Dogs rescued from certain death at meat farm arrive in US

A dozen dogs originally destined for dinner tables in South Korea arrived in the Washington area on Monday to be adopted as pets.

They were the first of 23 dogs being imported into the United States this week as part of a campaign to combat the eating of dog meat in East Asia.

The Washington-based Humane Society International located the dogs at a farm in Ilsan, northwest of Seoul, where they were being bred specifically for human consumption.
