How to find dog meat traders
Beri has already managed to save thousands of dogs. To do this, he uses various tactics.
“This is undoubtedly the largest voyage we've made,” he said. “These dogs are my heroes, my adoptive parents who have been waiting for their dogs for almost a year, are my heroes. Every dog that walks the streets is an ambassador for the freedom from cruelty movement, which is what we are fighting for, ”he said.
He added that if you do not save these dogs, then they will suffer painful death.
“They are skinned alive and boiled and beaten to death. It doesn't matter if it's a poodle or a German shepherd, a golden retriever, it doesn't matter if it's a Chinese dog, they don't care, ”added the founder of the organization.
The team usually interacts directly with illegal traders and threatens to report their activities to the Chinese authorities, for which they could face heavy fines. The fines exceed the cost of meat, which is why such threats usually target dog meat traders, Bury said.
The team even uses drones to track down merchants.
Unfortunately, several dogs were not rescued - they died before they could make the trip to the United States.
No Dogs Left Behind investigates what happened to the dogs as no explanation has been given for their death.
The organization hopes to bring 135 more dogs to the United States by early 2021.
