We are

sorry if the visuals of the dog meat trade shock you. They still shock me though it's not the first time I see them.

Such pictures are not what many of us wish to see.

Maybe cos we fear to face a truth so brutal? To be jolted out of our nice little life where our minds can conveniently tune out the injustice happening right this moment? Or maybe cos we feel the frustration of not knowing how to help, and thus we rather not know too much?

The very first thing is to be aware of what is happening. After which, be ready and willing to speak up to another person about the rights of animals when a chance occurs. To share, inform, educate, change their point of view.

Opinions not shared will not change a thing.

Conversely, truth imparted will surely, even if slowly, direct a change of mind in our fellow people. Such that, we walk closer to the day where animal rights are acknowledged if not embraced. And mankind progresses in heart and mind, in widening that spaciousness of our soul to welcome life in all forms.

And where an animal's life is needed for food, to show respect for the dignity and right to live by offering a kind and speedy death.
