A Los Angeles restaurant has been granted permission to
consume and sell dog meat. A Filipino group successfully
argued that the banning of the consumption of dog meat
violated their religious rights.
Puchow de Manila Eatery and
Fine Dining has been granted provisional permission to sell
and consume dog meat, while the Supreme Court decides if
their case has merit.
The restaurant is allowed to slaughter up to 3 dogs per
day, with the stipulation that they must be put down
humanely. The World Animal Protection agency called the
decision “shocking,” and vowed to fight tooth and nail to
ensure this act is not allowed to continue. In the Philippines
today, there is an abundance of dog meat sold in
restaurants and markets.
The meat is as sold for as little as $1.30/kg.
The trading
and selling of dog-meat brings in nearly 3.8 million U.S.
dollars per year, and nearly 500,000 dogs are killed for
meat every year. Eleven regions around the globe still
consume dog meat. Those being: China, Indonesia, Korea,
Mexico, Philippines, Polynesia, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Arctic,
Antarctic, and Switzerland.
