Sadly, the dog meat trade continues to claim more poor dogs, specially homeless or stray ones, as victims. But animal welfare advocates and concerned
One of the three female dogs rescued from being slaughtered, their meat to be sold to dog meat eaters. government officials also continue to investigate reports of illegal sale and consumption of dog meat in the country, leading to the arrest of suspected dog meat sellers.
Jacob Lloyd, AWIP’s executive director, commended the operation’s success and said: “This rescue marks a significant advancement in the battle against the illicit dog meat trade. The concerted efforts of our team, partner and the Philippine National Police clearly demonstrate that such inhumanity is unacceptable.”
Dog meat trade was more rampant and widespread in the 1990s, when live dogs were inhumanely muzzled and bound, then clandestinely transported from southern Luzon to the northern regions, particularly the Cordilleras. But recent reports from online group chats and fora suggest that DMT and the consumption of dog meat still take place in certain areas.
In the past, in Padre Garcia, Batangas, a dog meat trader paid men in tricycles P1,000 for 10 live dogs, or a measly P100 for a dog. The trader would fill a van with 80 to 100 dogs.
