There are about 83 charities who are working to fight this problem. It also involves helping the dog meat farmers to transform to more humane businesses like chili and mushroom farming. They want to show that it is possible to end this cruelty and still survive enough. Cowell has been supporting the cause right from last year. (With agency inputs)
