Seán McCormack runs an animal welfare organisation in Taiwan known as the Sanctuary, which has rescued and found homes for countless animals. Although Taiwan’s countryside is beautiful, according to Seán it is also littered with traps that maim and kill stray animals. This video shows a dog being rescued in Yangmingshan National Park after being caught in a cruel-looking gin trap.

Seán is appealing for help as the Sanctuary moves to a new location and works to rebuild its kennels. Donations can be made at http://igg.me/at/taiwan-sanctuary/x/8764443 Credit: YouTube/Seán McCormack
