STOP Dog Meat Trade In The Philippines

We are calling on the Philippine government to enforce legislation to ban the farming, slaughter, and consumption of dogs.
#DogSlaughter for consumption was banned in the Philippines in 1982. This ban was reinforced in 1998 via the #AnimalWelfareAct which prohibits killing dogs for food with minimum penalties set at 1,000 pesos (equivalent to about US$22 at the time) and not less than six months in prison.

#Gressingham, a so-called "local boys and a family business", is #industrial in size. Each duck becomes a mere statistic in this gross #exploitative system and not an individual who has needs. We witnessed eye and nasal infections, blindness, severe lameness, twisted feet and bent necks.
