He recently made headlines after rescuing 90 dogs from a dog meat farm in South Korea while participating in 2018 Winter Olympics
“This morning Matt and I had a heart-wrenching visit to one of the 17,000 dog farms here in South Korea,” he wrote on Instagram*
“Across the country, there are 2.5 million dogs being raised for food in some of the most disturbing conditions imaginable”
“And, while don’t personally agree with it, I do agree that it’s not my place to impose western ideals on the people here”
“The way these animals are being treated, however, is completely inhumane and culture should never be a scapegoat for cruelty”
“Despite the beliefs of some, these dogs are no different from the ones we call pets back home”
Together with his boyfriend Matt, Gus decided to take one of the dogs home and named her Beemo
“She’ll be coming to the US to live with me as soon as she’s through with her vaccinations in a short couple of weeks”
90 other dogs from the farm are taken from the facility to the United States and Canada for adoption with the help of Humane Society International
It’s so great that there are some amazing people, like Gus, who use their platform to spread awareness and help
