Stop The Philippines' Illegal Dog Meat Trade

Target:

President Macapagal-Arroyo

Sponsored by:

Representatives from Humane Society International and Network for Animals (NFA) traveled to the Philippines to learn the extent of the ongoing illegal commercial trade in dog meat and to meet with officials and local animal welfare organizations to help put an end to it. While there, they were involved in a seizure of nearly 100 dogs stuffed into a cage in the back of a truck.

While the dog meat industry in the Philippines is generally isolated to one region in the North, it involves a national underground network of traders, drivers, and scouts to get the dogs from source to slaughter. Approximately 500,000 dogs fall victim to this trade every year. This needs to be stopped!

Animals, especially animals like dogs, can "feel". They have emotions just like humans do, they can feel pain, they can feel happy or sad, and they can even become depressed. It's so cruel to hurt animals who cannot truly defend themselves. Dogs are "a man's best friend" for a reason, they are loyal animals who only want to feel loved & wanted. If you give a dog attention, they repay you with pure love & admiration. It is so truly inhumane to do this to an innocent animal.

Please stop this practice immediately, this is cruel and senseless. "Animals are now more than ever a test of our character, of mankind's capacity for empathy and for decent, honorable conduct and faithful stewardship. We are called to treat them with kindness, not because they have rights or power or some claim to equality, but in a sense because they don't; because they all stand unequal and powerless before us."

Someone please tell these savages that dogs are a domesticated animal. They have feeling, believe it or not, unlike the hearless that pursue life in the wrong way.

Stop this nonsense and eat vegetables if necessary but leave the four legged animals alone for once in your life, quit eating dogs. How would you like to be slaughtered and roasted for dinner over a open burning pit.
