            The Philippines' Inhumane Dog Meat Trade Is Spreading Rabies and 
We Need Your Help to Stop It!

                 It's disappointing to see that despite the Philippines 
strengthening their existing laws against animal cruelty, maltreatment and 
neglect, dog meat is still being eaten throughout the country. And, the 
Filipino dog meat trade is still active in the north.

                  Pet dogs are stolen from peoples' houses and stray dogs 
are taken from the streets. Because most of the pups are not vaccinated, 
stolen pets and strays are being transported together, which poses serious 
health threats for the spread of diseases such as rabies, cholera and 
trichinellosis.

                  Such risk also severely compromises the Philippines' 
commitment to eradicating rabies by the year 2020.

                  The treatment of dogs and cats in the Philippines has 
notoriously been very cruel and corrupt, which casts a negative light on the 
Philippines' positive reputation as nation of beauty and kindness.

                  Decades ago, Filipino dog meat was only eaten on solemn 
religious occasions and those dogs were not brutalized or tortured, prior to 
or during slaughter. The modern day treatment of dog meat dogs is inhumane 
and places local residents and international tourists in danger of acute 
food-borne viruses.

                  Will you help by asking the President of the Philippines 
to protect animals and, by extension, humans?

                  Thank you,

                         Kelsey B.
