Target: Yasonna Hamonangan Laoly, Minister of Law for Indonesia
Goal: Work for a national ban on the dog and cat meat trade.
Over four dozen dogs were rescued from an alleged dog butcher in Indonesia. They were the lucky ones. Around one million fellow canines become part of the country’s still-existing dog meat trade annually. The animals endure brutal captures and grueling trips crammed into cages, deprived of their ability to even open their mouths. These cruel incidents are just the beginning. Once the dogs reach their final destinations they await slaughter, spectators to the horrors that will soon befall them. Those horrors include bludgeoning and burning. Sometimes, the dogs are still alive for the last sick step in the ritual.
Indonesia has made weak attempts to curb the practice of butchering dogs, which mostly now exists in more rural regions of the country. They banned the consumption of dog meat and made stronger penalties for dog trafficking. A few areas have also made selling dog meat illegal. Yet a national ban on the dog meat trade (and cat meat trade) has not been pursued, despite repeated calls from animal rights activists.
Sign the petition below to urge Indonesian leaders to take this decisive step that could abolish a pervasive form of mass animal torture and cruelty once and for all.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Minister Laoly,
Indonesian leadership must recognize the brutality of the dog and cat meat trade, as recent court rulings and bans on consumption and trafficking have indicated. Yet the practice still remains widespread due to lax enforcement of existing rules and a complete lack of prohibition of these trades at the national level. As a result, horrific videos depicting the sick realities of the industry continue to emerge and enrage individuals across the country and around the world.
Please listen to the calls from these concerned citizens for a national ban on industries that trade in unimaginable cruelty and slaughter.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

WICKED AND EVIL. NO ONE HAS A RIGHT TO DO THIS TO ANY ANIMALS ON THIS PLANET. YOU KNOW THIS AND YOUR KARMA WILL BE JUST AS YOU MAKE IT. STOP THIS DISGUSTING, SHAMEFUL PRACTICE NOW. NOT EVEN POVERTY ALLOWS THIS….SHAMEFUL ALL OF YOU.
Lazy government officials who are in government for greed and filling their pockets.
After the last American election. I decided. I will never vote again. The whole election are me Vomit in my mouth. Every bit of it was disgusting and foul
I HATE SOME HUMAN!!! I wish them death!
These,vile,mentally deranged evil dog and cat killing ugly slant eye morons must be exterminated.We need to unite together globallyinternationally to enforce this procedure!
Wild animals kill and eat other animals. They do not set traps which hold the animal in pain till it chews its leg off or dies from blood loss. Horses are killed in Mexico, from America, by stabbing them in the shoulder blades till they collapse & then their throats are slit and they bleed out.WHAT IN HELLS NAME ARE WE DOING. may the world end and the first to go are people. I am ready!
Awful…..disgraceful!
This is cruel and evil torture, but these shits have no feelings for animals. No heart no heart. Sub humans.
THEY PROBABLY EAT HUMAN SHIT AS WELL. IS THERE ANYTHING THESE ‘HUMANS’ WON’T EAT??!!
Fucking slant eyed Savages. Thier cruelty knows no bounds. Maybe their children & grandchildren should become the new delicacy instead!
