Dogs are our best friends, not meat - Philippines STOP brutality

against them!

 

 

It is estimated that around 500 000 dogs are killed annually in the

Philippines for human consumption. Eating dogs has been illegal since

1998, but because of a lack of enforcement, live dogs and dog meat are

sold openly in the market place and restaurants. Although the vast

majority of Filipinos don’t consume dogs, the lucrative trade in dog

meat is becoming more prevalent, especially in the north of the

Philippines in the region surrounding Baguio City. Here dogs are treated

as nothing more than objects.

Crammed so tightly into wire cages they cannot move, struggling for

every breath in the stifling *heat with their mouths tied shut, dogs are

riped on, gutted, deskined and cutted while they are still alive and

**conscious.
