The sale of dog and cat meat is now banned at Indonesia's Tomohon Extreme Market — a live animal market named for the brutal practices that occurred there.

"We were told by many for many years, you'll never change North Sulawesi, you'll never change Tomohon. it is impossible," Webber said.In July, Tomohon's mayor, Caroll Senduk, signed a law banning dog and cat meat trading at the market, and the market's meat traders signed an agreement to permanently stop selling, slaughtering and trafficking dogs and cats, according to Humane Society International.

A live dog can cost up to $40, and one that has already been killed is priced from $2.30 to $4 per kilogram, said Frank Delano Manus of Animal Friends Manado Indonesia.To combat this, the Dog Meat Free Indonesia coalition is supporting programs to spay, neuter and vaccinate dogs and cats in Indonesia, said Webber.
