Petition to US Gov't to help prohibit Dog Meat Industry

[Catherine]

I think part of the objection to dog meat is how it is done.

Many of the dogs are stolen pets. Some even have collars on and when they are rescued it is obvious that they are pets.

The dogs are kept and transported in very inhumane conditions.

The way the are killed is brutal. In some places puppies are boiled alive. Dogs are beaten to death because it is thought that they would taste better.

I am never going to like the idea of dog meat. It seems that cruelty is built into the whole custom of eating dog.

A whole other level of objection is the extreme unhygienic conditions of the whole festival. It can't be safe to serve meat prepared like that.
I am sure there are diseases that are transmitted through this.
