This Man Saw A Dog Being Sold For Meat And Just Couldn’t Walk By
Xingyi Danielle’s dad was walking down the street in China one day looking for a place to grab a bite when he saw a group of people selling live dogs trapped in bags for meat consumption. The man didn’t have the heart to simply walk by…
So, he paid $90 for one of the doggies and saved his life. “His environment isn’t dog-friendly so he couldn’t buy more,” Danielle told The Dodo. “But [he] at least got to save one.”
As soon as he got home, the man snapped a photo of the dog in the bag to show the world they’re sold like some cheap commodity rather than a living thing.
Dad gave the dog a name, marking a new, happier chapter in the canine’s life: “It’s basically Doggo pronounced in Cantonese, actually.”
As the place the man lives at doesn’t allow dogs, the pooch is currently staying at his office for now, but he’s still trying his best to provide a good environment for him,” said Danielle.
Most importantly, Doggo didn’t end up on someone’s burger plate. The dog couldn’t be happier to be given a second chance at life.
“I was quite proud, to be honest,” said Danielle about her dad’s spontaneous act of kindness. You go dad!

The guy didn’t have the heart to simply walk by and let the dog be used for meat
So, he paid $90 for one of the doggies and saved his life
“His environment isn’t dog-friendly so he couldn’t buy more…”
The guy gave the dog a name, marking a new chapter in the canine’s life
Currently the dog is staying at the man’s office until they can arrange for him
“My dad’s colleagues are complaining about the mess Doggo is making…”

Share on FacebookI'm glad he saved the poor dog. The only problem I have with this is that he bought it. By buying it he only supported the industry. This leads to even more dogs in situations like these
Yes he paid for the dog, but probably only way he could save Doggo.
Load More Replies...No words for this chinese food tradition...-I thank this guy for saving this poor dog...
we eat sacred cows. we feed sacred rats to our pet snakes. some people have chickens for pets. it's cultural.
Load More Replies...Hope he finds a family soon, the office doesn't seem very appropriate either :/
Every culture has its own sources of meat, and some may think us Americans are animals for slaughtering chickens, cattle, etc. This type of dog is actually bred for meat over there, but of course any animal can be a good pet. Glad this cute little doggo got to live, though <3
This is so sad... Yes, he supported the industry by buying the dog but... Well, it was the only help he could give and he saved a life. Every single dog should not be used as meat. Every single dog should be loved, have caring owners and a safe home. And I don't say it isn't cruel to eat other animals, such as chicken, pigs or cows. You must find balance between eating meat and other foods, for example eat only poultry. Or you can change meat with plants, but I see it a bit unnatural. And not giving meat to a growing child I think is not good too. This is only my opinion, I do respect other opinions.
(Pt. 2) & slaughtered quickly wout fear (don't see/hear/smell other death). How many commercial facilities meet those criteria?
We can survive eating everyrhing apart from meat. It is true. You should face it. I havent been eating meat, any meat, for three years. Try to be kind to everything. It is not easy. Come on. Close tv for one day.
Please check what you write. I don't torture people, nor animals. I certainly do not eat people either. People are 'beings', animals are Natures Spirits. Do not get me wrong. You wrote what you wrote and I responded, but not to have an argument. Look at Cathy Binder, then look at other peoples comments, that is all they are, 'comments' and I responded to your comment. It is a free world and I respect other cultures, but I still do not like dogs and cats being eaten, to me it is not natural, but it is to others. It is trying to be wiped out, and this bought it to the worlds attention. Lighten up.
I see both as both. If someone eats me, it's not nice for me, but I can't help it. It's natural order. I would not want that creature diffrerent species than me eating me would be punished. I'm animal, my species is human sapiens sapiens. I have right to try to stay alive and keep my loved ones and own species alive, too. How ever, I'm one of the species strong with strong cognitive skills and morals, so I have knowledge about pain other living creatures are able to feel. That's why hurting another living been as a deed is torturing. I can decide I have no right to eat and kill animals, and that's fine. I also can decide, that as an animal, I will eat other animals, and that's ok, too. How ever, torturing and bad treatment is not ok. Killing and hurting without (straight) connection with staying alive as an animal is not ok. That's why I don't like smoking - it kills so much animals for destroyed forests. How ever, I don't mock my smoking friends: that would not help any way.
Load More Replies...I am happy for the doggo. But everyone who praises this action but goes to the supermarket to buy the daily amount of dead cow/chicken or goes to have a burger on the weekend is a hypocrite. If you approve eating meat - face it: every animal they kill for you is just like this dog. If you are fine with it: good! Killing is natural. But just because this dog looks cute, he does not deserve more than the cow. Sorry.
Not quite the same. Dogs are bought alive to be cooked alive. I've seen videos.
Load More Replies...Snakes eat mice, yes...Wolves eat all kinds of big game, they're carnivores...And people are omnivores, which includes meat....such as chickens, cows, and pigs....but not dogs.. Not our best friends. If you in 2017 can't go buy hamburger or bacon or pork and the list goes on,, and that's not enough for you ? Well then I don't know what to tell you
It shouldn't include pigs either. Turkeys produce far less waste than pigs and are healthier to eat. Yum... Turkey sandwiches...
Load More Replies...I remember walking on the Ramblas in Barcelona when I was about 15, and crying because of all the animals being sold in tiny cages, and suffering in the hot, hot sun. I actually wanted to buy one to save it, but my dad explained that it would only support the business if I did. I still feel the tension between seeing an animal suffering and wanting to act, and realizing that not buying would possibly prevent suffering of future animals on the other hand. it's that endless tension between saving the individual. As an ethicist, I don't think that buying these animals is the best way to stop the suffering of such animals, but as a human being, I can very much understand that you can't neglect the suffering of one individual being when actually facing it, even if it might have consequences.
I'm sorry about cultural appropriation and all that c**p, but I find this disgusting. At least have some semblance of mercy and breed them on humane farms and put them to sleep humanely before eating them. Creeps.
(Pt. 1) According to the laws of koshrut (Judaism) & zabiha (Islam) animals are to be raised in clean & safe environments
I think it was on one of the seasons on Masterchef when a contestant of chinese heritage said that chinese will eat everything that has legs, except for a chair, maybe...
In my opinion its just sick and cruel...i one hundred percent dont condone it but if it happens they should have freedom until its their turn...free range chickens free range dogs. Definately the best would be to ban it completely. I am soo thankful more places are banning it
Send him to me. I will give him a wonderful home!! Dogs are pure good.....Better than people!
To me, not at all, most places don't even have the thought of eating dogs. Only some stupid people do
Load More Replies...Or a turkey... Those are some fat, tasty critters. Also, they're made of lunchmeat.
Load More Replies...That is sick that people are selling cute helpless dogs for meet! I feel so bad for the pups that have already been sold for food, RIP cute dogies!
We need more people like your Dad in this world. Animals are living breathing things just like humans. Reminds me of hunting, if your hunting to feed yourself or your family that's one thing but hunting for sport is completely wrong. At least when I eat beef I don't have to see them kill the cow or watch them leave it in a bag like a sack of trash.
sick sick sick I can not think of anything else to say my dogs are my children how can people do this
whether human or pet what the Chinese leaders do is horrendous just whether live in bags to be executed trapped in bags as live keychanges, then this it's just inhumane and downright evil there is absolutely no sanctity for life
He may not have changed the world with that dog But he changed the world for that dog.
His co-workers need to shut their mouths. How would they like it if one of their family members were bagged up and sold the same way??? People in the Faeroe Islands cause dolphins to be drowned so they can use them for dolphin meat. Just as bad as the Japanese going to the Southern Ocean Sanctuary to kill whales, in the name of fake 'science.'
Well, technically it is a tradition, just a repulsive one.
Load More Replies...I repeat this every chance I get when people compare eating cows,pigs whatever is no different than eating dog. THERE IS A HUGE difference.MILLIONS AND MILLIONS of us people take dogs into their homes where they live and sleep and protect us.They are family NOT animals, big difference. (I don't eat meat fyi)
PLUS, if you did use animals for sexual desire, you would be just as sick as those who eat dogs. Also, please do not be so sarcastic.
Why are you people bothered by this? Don't you pay for animals to die every time you go to the grocery store, all the while knowing we don't need to eat animals to be healthy? Since we don't need to eat animals to be healthy then do you think it is morally justifiable to kill animals just so we can consume their corpses and satisfy our tastebuds? No actual need whatsoever, since we don’t need to eat animals to be healthy. Do you think it is morally justifiable to kill animals entirely for your pleasure? If you watch this 10 minute speech, you will think about keeping animals off your plate forever, whether you want to or not. I challenge you. Prove me wrong, watch it while paying attention and find out. https://www.facebook.com/garytvcom/videos/1207126842675895/?hc_ref=PAGES_TIMELINE
Well at least you got that off your chest. Your preaching is a bit awry, because we choose to eat red meat, or any other cattle come to that, it is still wrong to eat dog or cat. You keep your opinions to yourself, specially if you are a veggie, or vegan. You choose what you want and others can choose what they want. Thank god that dog was saved.
Load More Replies...It's all about culture, I really DON'T see the point in how the dogs are SO-CALLED "poor"! Most people are opposed to dog meat because we keep them as pets and as working animals(AND put them in baby prams!), but how about cows? Hinduism believers see cows as sacred animals. Try bringing a high-class steak into a Hindu temple and get roasted by the people!! In countries such as China and Vietnam, dog meat is a common food amongst the people, and they don't have problems with it. So, for all of those dog-lovers out there, RESPECT the country's food tradition. Be aware that we also eat food that others don't accept!
I'm fine with people eating different sources of meat, however how they handle the dogs is utterly cruel. Every animal going to a plate should have a good life and a very swift death. These guys are tortured and handled with no care. So no, not xenophobic, just sick and tired of people making up excuses to keep being barbaric to any animal.
