Food dogs lifted from Korea to Montreal

Fifty dogs from South Korea have been airlifted to Montreal to save them from the soup pot.

I’m of mixed feelings about this. We have unwanted pets here already. These dogs are now in a shelter and it doesn’t sound like there were fifty households prepared to adopt them right away. Ethically, while I understand the taboo we feel about eating potential pets, this seems like a niche act of benevolence at best.
