Wang Yan came across this slaughterhouse in 2012 when he was in search of his missing dog. As per his friend’s suggestion, he had visited the slaughterhouse to look for his dog and was overwhelmed to see the torture meted out to the dogs there.
Although Yan couldn’t find his pet there, he stayed close by and observed how the dogs were mistreated and killings were rampant.
Immediately, Yan bought the slaughterhouse and turned it into a dog shelter. He spent 3 million Yuan (USD 470,186) to turn it into a shelter house. As per the China News Service, he saved 2,000 dogs over three years which has eventually left him bankrupt.
Reportedly, the slaughterhouse was home to 1,000 dogs at some point.
The story has come at a time when China has been receiving flak from the citizens of the country for its Yulin Dog Meat Festival. A Slaughter of 10,000 dogs took place in the meat festival.

The Dog Meat Festival drew criticism from all over. Citizens of the country and Hollywood celebrities protested against the barbaric festival. They raised concerns about whether such a festival should at all be held or is it even worse than pigs and cows dying every day.
At present, there are 200 dogs in the shelter house. After three years of service, Yan is now in debt. Yan who was once a millionaire has gone broke.
Yan refuses to accept a monetary donation. However, if anybody wants to come forward and help, he may do so by offering supplies needed for the rescue home. He has also urged people to come forward and adopt them.

Stillness in the Storm Editor: Why did we post this?
Truth, beauty, and goodness, are regarded in some schools of thought as three supreme values. If one appreciates the fullness of truth, they’ll develop the capacity to see beauty in all things, thereby capable of acting for the good in one’s life. Psychologically, we need to appreciate beauty to ensure a positive life outlook. The mind is designed to reflect reality within, which is then evaluated as good or bad. The animal mind assumes things are “bad” so that it can ensure your survival. The human, spiritualizing mind, has the capacity to see the truth, recognize beauty and appraise all of this as good, thereby creating a node of positivity in your memory. The overall disposition you feel toward life, your mood, and worldview, are informed by the tapestry of evaluations in all life’s situations. Thus, to appreciate beauty improves your world view, it makes you feel better about life in general. It helps you overcome depression, maintain inspiration, and stave off boredom. Combined with the desire to grow and evolve, to become wise, honorable, and an agent for good, the hardships of life become opportunities to bring goodness into the world, though you’re creative deeds. In the act of heeding this supreme calling, you become an agent for good, living a fulfilling life for yourself, while making the world a better place through your increasingly joy-infused acts of compassion, kindness, righteous defense, and truthfully guided ways. The following information reveals some of this power of beauty, discussing the effects of appreciating it or showing you beauty in nature or created by others.
