‘Extreme’ Indonesian market ends dog, cat meat trade

Activists look at dogs at a slaughterhouse in Tomohon on July 21, 2023, as the Humane Society International and Animal Friend Manado Indonesia freed 21 dogs and three cats from slaughterhouses before they were sold as meat. AFPPIX: A notorious Indonesian animal market has ended the sale of dog and cat meat after years of activist pressure to stop the trade and its brutal methods of slaughter, according to campaigners.

It called the ban a “historic agreement that will spare thousands of animals from being bludgeoned and blowtorched to death for human consumption.” “The impact will be far-reaching, shutting down business for the traders’ vast network of traffickers, dog thieves and slaughterers,” Lola Webber, HSI’s director of campaigns to end the dog meat trade, said.The rights group said the agreement has potentially saved the lives of thousands of pups on the island, where as many as 130,000 are slaughtered annually.
