Finally ... A notorious Indonesian animal market has ended its brutal dog and cat meat trade, campaigners say

Dogs are seen inside a cage from a slaughter house in Tomohon, North Sulawesi, Indonesia, Friday, July 21, 2023. Authorities on Friday announced the end of the"brutally cruel" dog and cat meat slaughter at a notorious animal market on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi following a years-long campaign by local activists and world celebrities. - AP

"We hope that Tomohon will be totally free from dog and cat meat trades,” Roring said in his remarks."We believe the way to reduce people’s interest in consuming dog and cat meat in Tomohon is to stop selling it in markets.” Videos shot by the campaigners at two markets in North Sulawesi province in 2018 showed dogs cowering in cages as workers pulled the howling animals out and bludgeoned their heads with wooden batons. Often still moving, the animals are then blasted with blowtorches to remove their hair in preparation for butchering and sale.

"These animals, many of them stolen pets, are subjected to crude and brutal methods of capture, transport and slaughter, and the immense suffering and fear they must endure is heartbreaking and absolutely shocking,” the letter said, prompting Indonesia’s central government to issue a regulation saying that dog meat is not food and thus local administrations should act to ban the trade.
