Man's Best Friend Is Not A Delicacy...
The dog meat trade in Vietnam is horrific, illegal, and inhumane - and must be stopped.
Imagine your dog is stolen only to become someone's meal. That is the horrifying reality in Thailand where family pets and street dogs are being rounded up, thrown into overcrowded crates and transported to nearby countries including Vietnam. Their destination? Someone's plate.
These dogs are put through unimaginable strife as they endure dehydration, starvation and exposure to diseases ranging from rabies to E. coli. They are later inhumanely killed and traded or sold to markets and restaurants for profit.
Dogs are stolen from loving families and off the streets in Thailand. These poor dogs are then thrown into overcrowded crates, which are stacked and illegally transported by truck and by boat into other countries; particularly Vietnam, where dog meat has become a sought-after delicacy.
Poor treatment, dehydration, and starvation lead to rampant injury, disease, and death among the dogs during transport. Rabies, cholera, E. Coli, and distemper are all spread by this brutal trade, threatening animal and human populations. On arrival, surviving dogs are met with an inhumane death, their bodies sold to markets and restaurants for profit.
