A dog was beaten in the head and blowtorched at an illegal roadside slaughterhouse in the Philippines.
Investigators believe this slaughterhouse was killing at least two to three dogs every single day.
That means hundreds, potentially over a thousand dogs, may have been killed here over time.
Sign now if you think the man responsible should receive the maximum penalty!
Dogs were dragged into the slaughter area with no escape.
Their heads were smashed. Their bodies were burned with blowtorches while the slaughterhouse continued operating in public view.
This was organised, deliberate, and profitable.
CASE FILE:
Location: Laoag, Philippines
Status: Illegal roadside slaughterhouse
Kill rate: 2–3 dogs per day
Estimated deaths: Up to 1,000 dogs yearly
Outcome: One trader arrested
Next step: Criminal animal cruelty charges expected
A joint AWIP and police operation led to the arrest of one dog trader connected to the slaughterhouse.
But this cannot end with a minor consequence.
If penalties remain weak, operations like this may continue killing dogs while traffickers simply move elsewhere.
And we have already identified another dog meat slaughterhouse.
Every signature helps increase pressure for maximum penalties and stronger crackdowns before more dogs are killed.
Dogs trapped in places like this have nobody to protect them unless people choose to act.
Sign now if you think the man responsible for slaughtering this dog should receive the maximum penalty!
