We are calling on the Philippine government to enforce legislation to ban the farming, slaughter, and consumption of dogs. #DogSlaughter for consumption was banned in the Philippines in 1982. This ban was reinforced in 1998 via the #AnimalWelfareAct which prohibits killing dogs for food with minimum penalties set at 1,000 pesos (equivalent to about US$22 at the time) and not less than six months in prison.
STOP CRUEL, DANGEROUS TRANSPORT IN SUMATRA’S DOG MEAT TRADE
A new Lady Freethinker (#LFT) investigation into the Sumatran #DogMeatTrade has documented apparently sick and emaciated #dogs with scars being transported 17 hours for #slaughter, getting yanked off a truck with a long snare pole, and then being shoved into burlap sacks that were tied shut.
Sign the petition today urging officials in #Indonesia to investigate all dog transport activity and shut down all illegal operations immediately to help save dogs’ lives and to protect public health.
The fight against the #dog and #CatMeat trade has a profound effect on all of us, most of all the millions of dogs and cats who are stolen and killed every year in #Asia.
No other organisation has ever been able to achieve anything of this magnitude, and we are delighted that Soi Dog Foundation have been chosen by the Vietnamese government to collaborate on how to tackle ending the trade.
This is the beginning of the end of the barbaric and cruel consumption of dog and cats in Vietnam. 🇻🇳
