Dog Slaughter in the Philippines

a good scratch
Wayne Pacelle just posted a blog entry about dog meat in the Philippines. It included graphic, disturbing footage of dogs in transit to be slaughtered and footage of dog meat sold in the market. It was horrific. I use you to watch the video to inform yourself.



If that doesn't work try Wayne's blog here.

And write to the President of the Philippines to end this practice--> here.

I'm so sick of feeling like I can't do anything. I just wrote today an op-ed piece which I hope my school newspaper will publish on World Vegetarian Day, October 1st. It gives three reasons why animals should be given equal consideration. I included three points: the widespread abuse of animals, how in ignoring the suffering of animals we do not do our part in forming a peaceful society, and how the ideology about the value of animals needs to be changed. If you would like the article please tell me. It may go through some revisions but I'm pretty pleased with what I wrote. I hope I inspire people to form a group on campus with me. More and more I feel like I'm on the cusp of a revolution and I need to do my part to raise awareness for all creatures who suffer.

That is beyond disturbing to me. (as I'm sure it is to many other people as well). I forced myself to watch the video simply so that I wouldn't do nothing. Thank you for posting this.

I'm going to write something later... and I'd also love to see your article. Good luck with getting it printed. I'm sure you will be able to inspire many :)

Yeah, it was really awful. OK! I have sent it to your mailbox. Let me know how I can improve it or maybe clarify any points. :)
