Many people are aware of the reality of dogs in some parts of Asia . These animals are consumed as human food in countries on this continent, to the point that there are markets for their sale.

One day, he was driving when a scene caught his eye. A motorcyclist was carrying a very unusual load: a cage full of dogs and some pots and pans hanging off the sides.

In Cambodia, $350 is a considerable sum, so the motorcyclist didn’t need to be begrudge him anything. He opened the cage upon receiving the money, and within moments, the puppies began to emerge from their enclosure one by one.

Some of them had a hard time getting back on their feet. It’s understandable, since they had been locked up in truly inhumane conditions for who knows how long . Some didn’t hesitate to leave immediately; others feared punishment, but faced with the alternative of freedom, they chose to flee.

As this tradition has become more visible around the world, numerous institutions are willing to do everything possible to save the lives of these animals .
