Help Stop The Dog Meat Trade!!

I made sure I signed the petition first before responding so consider it done! Another signature added to the list. I'm an avid animal lover and always will be and cannot understand how we humans can be so cruel but we can. I know, some of us aren't but why are others. It's a question that we'll probably never know the answer to.

Ok seriously... who eats dog? That's sick! I won't even go near anything with bypoducts for myself or my cat, let alone feed me or her dog. Gross. If it wasn't raised by Old McDonald and doesn't "moo", "oink" or "cluck"... it ain't going in my tummy. I freaked out and vomited after an ex told me the burgers he'd made me were elk meat... and it was like 6 months later that he told me. So thinking someone eats dog on purpose, well that really messes with my lunch I just had and keeping it down. Gross. Gross. Gross. Seriously... omg people if it comes down to that you're so broke as to having to eat Fido, GO VEGAN!!! I wouldn't eat chicken for like 5 years after watching all those PETA videos until organic and natural farm raised meat came out on the market. Now all the meat I buy is natural farm raised, it's more expensive but it's worth it both in taste and treatment of the animals. And yes... I'll sign the petitition.

I got the same email and wathced he horrendous video. Already signed and sent it to everyone I know.And/Or don't know,lol. Thanks for posting this.

Although I find it rather grotesque and it makes my stomach do flip flops even just thinking about it, having dog meat was part of their lifestyle, and just because I didn't like what they were doing and think of dogs as more along the lines as a family pet (rather than food), it's a different country with different interests and tastes of food. I do hope that it stops one day, and I do commend what the humane society is trying to do, but though I care about dogs and animals alike, I draw the line at trying to change a different countries culture or lifestyle. Even with the letter stating that now most of the people in the Philippines are against it, I'm not there and don't truly know what other people are thinking. It's just like people have turned your basic farm yard animals into pets, but we still eat them without much of a thought towards those that have befriended these animals. Just my two cents worth, Yes I will defend animals all I can, but won't if it deals with a different style of culture no matter how grotesque it may be or how much it may offend me. Just how I am and how I was raised.

I can't not understand how people can be so cruel to animals. This video made me cry, and anyone who can do this to dogs doesn't deserve to live. I know that it seems harsh to say that about human life..but seeing that video, those poor dogs crammed into that cage. Those people don't deserve to live. Someone should club them over the head! I wish I could save dogs like that. I want a HUGE place, with a lot of land where I can take in dogs from rescues like this, and give them a nice, loving home. That's my lifes ambition starting now. Now I just need to find a way to get rich fast!

Shouldn't people be satisfied eating all the chicken and beef in the world.Why eat dogs?Well humans are the weirdest specie on earth they eat not just to satisfy hunger or their senses,they eat to satisfy all their weird fantasies.Its sickening to hear about dogs being abducted from their loving homes to be butchered and served in front of greedy guys who would eat a hippo if they felt like it. And i hear it happens not only in Philippines but in other parts of the world also but in a smaller scale. There is a really crazy festival somewhere were they go around the town collecting cats to be cooked and served to the whole community.How crazy can things get?

I find this practice truly repulsive, but, that's because I own 3 dogs and the thought of them being on my dinner menu sickens me. Unfortunately, we can't begin to understand here, in the comfort of the western world, how horrible some other parts of the country are. There's extreme poverty in parts of the Phillipines, and I'm sure, given the choice the people would much rather have a grade A steak, but, that's not their reality. So, I can't condemn the people for a practice that's been part of their culture for generations. I did however, sign the petition just because I find the whole thing personally horrible.

OK - well I admit I didn't watch the video - I am too squeamish and weak-stomachesd for such things these days. But I have seen many like that before - including a disgusting one involving cats that gave me nightmares for years! As a vegetarian I deplore such cruelty towards any animals - whether dog, cat, or innocent cow or lamb. Sadly while people think they are somehow superior to the animal kingdom these things will happen.

That is just so sad, pyewacket! I was truly appalled. There are too many cruel and greedy people in this world. I have signed the petition and forwarded the message on to a friend. Thank you for the heads up.

This may sound horrible but if they used dogs that where stray or dogs that where not wanted then I see nothing wrong with it. I know how can someone eat a dog? I have never partook in eating a dog but in a country where there is little food they will eat anything that they can. I know we have an over abondance of dogs and cats in the USA and people are not responseable pet owners and have their dogs fix. I do not want my pet taken from my yard. If they just took the dogs that where not wanted. Why not take the over abondance of dogs and help people who do not have food? pyewacket I know we differ on this subject. I am sorry we disagree, I do not want to hurt your feelings. I am not trying to attack you or be nasty and I am sorry if it is taken that way.

Yuck. That is something I shouldn't have looked at before breakfast. I hope that they are able to reunite the dogs with their owners.

This cruel trade must be stopped. I hope that these poor dogs are save and given back to their respective owners. Hope we eliminate this dirty trade soon.

Hi pyewacket, I am a member of HSUS too so i got the e-mail too. I really can not stand these kind of violences and didn't watch the video. And don't suggest to other people as well. But thanks for carrying the subject over here. you are a great animal lover. There are bunch of people here always work for animal rights. Thank you all!!!

I'm saluting of what Humane Society have done responsibilities endued on stopping cruelty on animals particularly dogs. And I'm very thankful despite that They're from a foreign land, they have the grace on helping and providing a great contributions in our country indeed. Ashamed on what my other countrymen have done. They're the people who has no significations of love to animals. I really condemned...As a Filipino citizen I will act and support the campaign even in my little own way. Surely I will be a watcher and will report that cruelty immediately to authority once encounter...

Cultures just vay from region to region-we eat monkeys and baboons, some peole eat scorpions and crocdiles, but eating a dog is a bit some degree of cruelty-dogs have been part of man-they connect with us, they hel and defend us, eating a dog is very much inhuman, it got to be stopped! It is like eating your own relative!

Just ho wawful this is and yup it needs to be stopped but ya know people find way of getting the meat somehow!

I watch the video and was horrible.I can't even thinking how some people they can do such things or can ea dog meat.Be sure that I signed the petition and I hope more people see your post and do the same. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I'm kinda glad the video didn't work...I don't think I could have handles it. Just the thought of the cruelty makes me ill. I feel shame and disgust that alleged fellow human beings do this kind of thing. One hears about it but deep down you hope it's not true.

Oh my Goodness. This was very hard to watch. My emotions ran the gamet from rage to tears. I wasn't going to look at it, but I had to know. My heart goes out to the people who have lost a family pet, due to these horrible, horrible inhumane people. Hope they rot in H*ll, all of them. I'm glad however, that there are people who are trying to help these poor animals. Is there no end to animal abuse? It is a shame that this abuse goes on everyday. I signed the petition as well. Thanks pyewacket for brining this to our attention. this is something everyone needs to know about.

Hi Pyewacket, this is really terrible, and this should be abolished and forbidden and the once doing it should be jailed at least :( My heart is crying for this poor dog dears, and what theyhave to endure while waiting to be slaughtered. At times I am ashamed, so ashamed of us , the so called humans I saw the video and also sent the message to a few friends of mine, and thanks my friend for pointing me to the site TheFortunes
