中国屠狗场 Dogmeat Trade

TAKE ACTIONS

• Do not patronize establishments involving in the dealership, trading, selling, buying of dogmeat. We shouldn't pump tourist dollars to restaurants with dogmeat on their menus. Show our objection even to personnel whose livelihoods are involved in these transactons.

Our opinions matter as outside observers of their societies. Do not be ashamed of what doesn't sit well with you.

Your feedback could be one of many, but nevertheless, an unmistakable, existing voice contributing to the many. In your bid to change laws and policies governing these industries.


• Find out local NGOs that do not condone the dogmeat trade and join hands, however brief your sojourn, with them. Find out how you can pitch in as a visiting tourist, traveller or business-person. Put your name on their petitions.


• Take pictures or videos in your witness of aspects of the trade -- strategically without compromising your own safety. Return home with evidences and share your experiences with those who don't know about the trade. Your personal account counts!


• Write to local forums or news channels in your bid to denounce such atrocities.
  
• Be the world's much needed advocate in animal welfare. Any person can be a mobile activist to educate others on what that undermines the value of animal life.

I am sure this is by no means new or surprising to many, though the stark grossness of the images is still cringe-worthy each time our eye meets the pictures.
