This photo has been shared many times on social media and is very poignant and captures the sad reality for so many dogs in Asia….
We have been told countless times that dogs slaughtered for meat are ‘different’ to pet dogs… That they are less worthy and that it is their “destiny” to be slaughtered. But we have met these dogs. We have looked them in the eyes and we see their soul and, more poignantly, we see their fear. Despite their treatment and the utter betrayal, many dogs in markets come to the bars – head bowed, tail wagging submissively – their craving for human touch, for reprieve, is overwhelming.
The absolute fear in their eyes is haunting.
We will never give up the fight to end the dog meat trade.
Thank you ~
