Every year millions of dogs become victims of the dog meat trade in Asia. Much of the world sees dogs as their trusted companions, but in parts of Asia they suffer terribly as victims of the trade in dog meat for human consumption. In some Asian countries, dogs used for this industry are mostly stolen pets and they are sometimes tortured before being slaughtered. The dog meat trade is not only cruel, but is also linked to the spread of rabies and other diseases. HSI is working with local organizations in South Korea, Thailand, Vietnam, the Philippines and China to sensitize the public about the harmful dog meat trade that thrives in these countries. We actively participate in raids against trucks loaded with dogs on the way to slaughter, we provide funds to train the authorities in improving enforcement and support the care of confiscated animals.
