Week 4: Research

This past week, i focused more on my research for my topic. In the past year, South Korea has contained over 8000 dogs for meat slaughter. The Humane society shut down 4 of these dog meat farms and rescued almost all of the dogs. I found this fact very interesting and i hope to get in contact with the humane society to help with this problem around the world because i feel like it is a major cause of abuse. Because my last adoption fair turned out so well, i decided to sign up for another one. This week i have been looking for other shelters to work with. Like last time, I did have a few struggles. Age limit was still a major problem for me. Many shelters, such as the San Jose animal shelter requires you to be 18 so i couldn't volunteer there. I will still continue to look into shelters to volunteer at, but if i can't find a different shelter, i will definitely volunteer at the past shelter again. As i continued to do research on ways to help animal shelters, i found the topic of fostering an animal to be very repeated. By the end of summer, my goal is to be able to do so because this is a topic i am very passionate about and i believe even one animals life will make a large difference. As i start reaching towards the end of the semester, I did not exactly do as much as i hoped but my journey so far has been so much fun and i will continue to do this over summer.
