There was no Olympic medal this time around, but Gus Kenworthy won’t be leaving PyeongChang empty-handed.
With his competitions complete, Kenworthy and his boyfriend Matt Wilkas visited the site of a Korean dog meat farm which is currently in the process of being closed down. In a social media post, Kenworthy called it a “heart-wrenching” experience.

Kenworthy said that all 90 dogs that were on the farm are being taken to the U.S. and Canada for adoption, but one of those dogs — which he named “Beemo” — will be coming home to live with him.
In 2014, Kenworthy made headlines for his role in helping to bring several stray dogs from Sochi back to the States.
