Sharing for Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth (CARE)

Following our report on the ‘hell on earth’ conditions of the seven dogs in the garlic field, we have an urgent update from CARE (Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth) on their status. 👉 Click HERE to learn more.

From a Life of Torment to a Race Against Time
These dogs face euthanasia if they aren’t adopted in the next month.

With the help of the Heatwave Monitoring Team and Gwangju City Hall, CARE (Coexistence of Animal Rights on Earth) has freed the remaining dogs from an overgrown garlic field where they were chained like prisoners. Activists described the scene as a living hell—a minefield of suffering where dogs, treated as disposable tools, were tied to stakes and left to endure blazing heat, freezing snow, and pounding rain without shelter.

When they were discovered, their bodies were crawling with hundreds of ticks, their bowls were empty or filled with rotting scraps, and there was no water. Skeletal and starved, they desperately devoured any food they were offered. Among them was a dog with two legs brutally severed—an injury so severe she required immediate emergency care. CARE rescued her, while another was saved by a member of the Heatwave Monitoring Team and a third by Dream Tails Rescue.

Unfortunately, CARE is already at capacity, caring for over 800 animals, and cannot immediately take in the four dogs who remain. A desperate search for foster homes came up empty, so these dogs were moved to a municipal shelter.

Their Future Depends on You

These dogs have never known a human’s touch and now have only a few weeks to find a forever home. They were raised to guard a field, surviving on rotting garbage scraps fed to them only a couple of times a week. It’s no wonder they are timid and scared of people—they have never been shown love.

Please help us give them a chance at a life beyond chains and torment.

• If you can adopt, please contact CARE. They will sponsor spay/neuter surgery for any dog who finds a home.
• If you can’t adopt, please share this post widely.

Every share, every offer of help, can save a life.

 

For 25 years, CARE’s integrity in using donations has been recognized by South Korea’s Ministry of Justice,
as well as its citizens and communities.

 

 

 

CARE’s update post in Korean, 8/14/2025:🔥죽음의 숲속에서 탈출한 동물 노예들, 한달 밖에 시간이 없습니다. 도와주지 않으면, 이 아이들은 사라집니다.❗️

풀숲 속에서 살아남기 위해 버텼던 아이들,
노예처럼 부려먹고 죽지 못 해 견딘 아이들을
케어는 폭염감시단들 및 광주시청과 함께 탈출시켰습니다.
이들을 구출하며 활동가들이 느낀 감정.
‘보이지 않는 지뢰처럼 긴 풀 속에 군데군데 땅에 박힌 듯 묶여 있었다는 것.’
그 중 한 아이는 두 다리를 잃은 채 케어에 의해 구조되었고,
또 한 아이는 드림테일즈 레스큐에서 구조해 주셨습니다.
하지만 케어도 800명의 동물을 보호 중이고, 밀린 구조 건들이 또 있기에
당장 데려갈 수도 없고 임보처 홍보를 그렇게 했지만 당장 나오지 않아
일단 지자체 보호센터로 들어갔습니다.
심각한 방치 상태로 계속 그곳에 묶여 있을 수 없기 때문입니다.
이 아이들은 한달 안에 입양되지 않으면, 안락사됩니다.
이 아이들은 사람 손길을 모릅니다.
사랑을 받아본 적이 없습니다.
진드기에 뒤덮인 몸으로,
다 썩은 음식 쓰레기조차 1주일에 두어 번 먹으며
폭염과 폭설을 그대로 견뎌야 했습니다.
그저 밭을 지키는 도구, 멧돼지 차단용 존재로 묶여 있었습니다.
그래서 대부분의 아이들은 소심합니다.
사람을 무서워합니다.
하지만 그건 사랑을 몰라서가 아니라, 받아본 적이 없어서입니다.
입양하실 분들이 계시면 중성화 수술을 케어가 지원하겠습니다.
케어 활동가도 고민하다가 사비로 한 아이를 더 구하기로 했습니다.
입양이 어렵다면, 홍보라도 도와 주세요.
입양신청
