Philippines Dogs

Overview

It is estimated that around 500 000 dogs are killed annually in the Philippines for human consumption. Eating dogs has been illegal since 1998, but because of a lack of enforcement, live dogs and dog meat are sold openly in the market place and restaurants. Although the vast majority of Filipinos don’t consume dogs, the lucrative trade in dog meat is becoming more prevalent, especially in the north of the Philippines in the region surrounding Baguio City. Here dogs are treated as nothing more than objects. Crammed so tightly into wire cages they cannot move, struggling for every breath in the stifling heat with their mouths tied shut, dogs have their throats cut while still conscious.

Fortunately, you can make a difference. Canada, as well as many other countries, are important trading partners for the Philippines – and our colleagues in the Philippines say enough diplomatic pressure will force their government to crack down on the dog meat traders.

Please take action now by sending an email to the Philippines ambassador. And ask all of your friends and relatives to do the same.
