Please Help Stop the Illegal Dog Meat Trade Hi Antonio, In the UK, we consider dogs to be companion animals and even valued family members. Tragically, this is not the case in the Philippines, where nearly 500,000 defenceless dogs are brutally killed every year for the commercial dog meat trade and specialty dog meat restaurants are widespread. Take action >> As you read this, helpless dogs are waiting in cages to be slaughtered. They are crammed so tightly together in wire cages they cannot move, struggling for every breath in the stifling heat with their snouts tied shut. The dogs are stolen or rounded up on the street, transported to slaughter in conditions so bad nearly half the dogs die en route. Those that reach the slaughterhouse alive are clubbed or have their throats cut whilst conscious. Sign the Network for Animals petition to stop the illegal dog meat trade >> Dog meat eating was banned in the Philippines in 1998. Sadly, the law is rarely enforced, and the penalties are so weak that convicted dog meat traders get off with a slap on the wrist only to return to their cruel trade. But now there is real hope for the dogs. Recently, lobbying by animal protection groups led to stronger laws that greatly increase fines and include jail time for convicted dog meat traders. With your help, we can get the police to enforce the new law, stop this illegal trade and save countless dogs from a horrible fate. Please join Care2's friends at Network for Animals in signing the petition encouraging the Filipino government to enforce the law prohibiting the trade in dog meat >> Thank you, LiAnna Care2 and ThePetitionSite Team Take action link: http://www.care2.com/go/z/e/AFN6w/zJfy/AKKN0   Connect with Care2!   And follow us on twitter: http://twitter.com/actionalerts http://twitter.com/care2causes
