I wish they ban the dog meat trade in there. That's just too much 🥺. What if the dog is actually someone's pet right. My gosh! Even here in our place I know people who eat that. We can report it to PAWS, but need clear evidence. Its hard to get that though. Aigooo
I don't know the situation all over SE Asia, but I do know it is illegal in Thailand. I often hear stories about Cambodian migrant factory workers arrested in Thailand for barbecuing a dog, and the police seem to be quite serious about it. Here in Cambodia it is slowly becoming taboo, but there are still no laws to protect domestic pets from becoming dinner.
