❗️The Cruel Dog and Catmeat Industry..❗️ Globally, an estimated 20 million dogs and 6 million cats are still slaughtered annually for human consumption, primarily concentrated across Asia (China, Vietnam, Indonesia, and India).. The global movement to end the dog and cat meat trade is accelerating, driven by historic legislative bans and widespread community action. Organizations are actively dismantling the industry by implementing bans, rescuing animals, and helping farmers transition to humane livelihoods. Because commercial breeding is expensive, the majority of the trade relies on capturing stray animals or stealing family pets directly from backyards using poison baits, tasers, and snares. Animals are crammed tightly into small wire cages, loaded onto trucks, and driven for days without food, water, or rest. Many die of suffocation, dehydration, or heatstroke before arrival. The unregulated movement of unvaccinated animals across borders severely disrupts regional health strategies. Organizations like Four Paws link the trade directly to the spread of rabies and other zoonotic diseases. four-paws.org/campaigns-topi… four-paws.org/our-stories/bl… humaneworld.org/germany/en/n… soidog.org/ending-dog-and-ca…
