He urged people to consume animal food sources that are more hygienic and do not cause rabies, such as pork, beef and chicken. “We believe the way to reduce people’s interest in consuming dog and cat meat in Tomohon is to stop selling it in markets.” “We hope that Tomohon will be totally free from dog and cat meat trades,” Roring said in his remarks. HSI said they will be rescuing all the remaining live dogs and cats from the slaughterhouse suppliers and taking them to sanctuaries. The permanent end of the slaughter and trade was announced on Friday by the Regional Secretary of the city of Tomohon, Edwin Roring. Images of dogs and cats being bludgeoned and blow-torched while still alive had sparked outrage. The Tomohon Extreme Market will become the first such market in Indonesia to go dog and cat meat-free, according to the anti-animal cruelty group Humane Society International, or HSI. TOMOHON, Indonesia (AP) - Authorities on Friday announced the end of the “brutally cruel” dog and cat meat slaughter at a notorious animal market on the Indonesian island of Sulawesi following a years-long campaign by local activists and world celebrities.
