Dog-eating in the Philippines

 
Dear Friends
 
You may remember that in November of last year, we started a campaign against the illegal practise of dog eating in the Philippines (see http://itstheirdestiny.2kat.net/phil.html).
 
Our friends at Sirius Global Animal Organisation (Charitable Trust) have just recently launched a petition demanding that the Philippino Govt enforce its 1998 Animal Welfare Act that prohibits the consumption of dog meat.
 
In the Philippines, despite this recent law, dogs are treated little better than their Korean or Chinese counterparts. Their front limbs are purposely dislocated and tied behind their backs, while a jagged tin can is forced over their jaws to make them easier to handle.
 

 
 
 
During these times of international strife when many of us are thinking of our friends and loved ones fighting overseas, it is easy to forget the suffering that animals undergo everyday in other parts of the world. Let us not forget that they too need our help.
 
Our continued thanks to all of you for caring.
 
From all the team at ITD
