Simon Cowell is helping out close a dog meat shop in South Korea and has saved hundreds of innocent pups from getting slaughtered. The 58-year-old America’s Got Talent judge has vowed to donate £25,000 (around $32,640) to Humane Society International (HSI), which is a charitable trust that helps resolve animal abuse all over the world.

The charitable trust will go there next week and pick up the animals, and then send out the dogs to countries such as United States, Canada, United Kingdom, Netherlands, etc. for adoption and recovery.
