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!

This barbaric cruelty has to stop now. We live in the 21st century, not in the Middle Age. Dogs are wonderful creatures that can do so much good for humans. Please have some heart and stop torturing these animals now.

Dogs have minimum right to live as animal. Animals are same as human! It is wrong to do such a thing! ! Animals Are Not Ours to Eat . Animals Are Not Ours to Abuse in Any Way . nspeakable grief!!! STOP IT RIGHT NOW!!! You cannot escape the responsibility of tomorrow by evading it today. The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated .(GANDHI) The deed comes back upon the doer!!God is watched. |

Without kindness, the world suffers and its effects are long lasting.. Why have we become a nation of murderers? What have innocent dogs ever done to us as humans to warrant such incomprehensible pain and suffering, ultimately leading to senseless slaughter and death? Please take a moment to consider the cost of illegal dog meat trade? How much blood money is required for profit? It is a tragedy when the hearts of men no longer desire justice. If but one person changes darkness into light..the world is illuminated. It is always time to save the defenseless. It is always time to do the right thing. |

STOP THE DOG MEAT TRADE. I am outraged to hear this. I knew that woman president was evil but how low of a human being can allow this to happen.

Its only very "small" and unintelligen people who would treat animals cruely. All cruelty against animals reflect badly on the hole humanity. The same goes for people who treats children badly. Animals and children are innocent and unable to fight for them selves. When we eat meet, and lots of us do, the animal must be treatet respectfully and in accordance with the specific animals needs while still alive. And of course the animal has to be put down with no pain.

This barberic practice needs to be stopped immediately!!! Dogs are companion animals. I wonder if any of you who are so anxious to slaughter them have ever experienced their love, faithfulness, and companionship. This truly saddens me! I am not only saddened for the dog that must go through this, but I am saddened for the human being as well. Please learn that dogs are companions. They guide us and help us through life. I encourage you to learn this and realize their amazing love and affection. On behalf of the animals. Melissa MacDonald
