Pressure against the consumption of dog meat increases in Vietnam with a campaign in which some celebrities unite against the trade of what is considered a delicacy by thousands of Vietnamese. The initiative 'di oi' (Come home, little dog) aims to pressure the authorities to enact a law for the welfare and protection of animals, and reflects the gradual change in mentality of the population. A three-minute video broadcast on social media by the Asian Canine Protection Alliance begins by showing the disgusted faces of Vietnamese actors, singers and artists upon seeing for the first time scenes of mistreatment of dogs in slaughterhouses or the cruel way in which they are transported and slaughtered. After observing the harsh scenes of dogs crammed into cages, celebrities such as filmmaker Charlie Nguyen or rapper declare on camera that they were not aware of these practices and send a strong message to the viewer. “Surely you did not know the great scope of the dog meat industry or the enormous pain and suffering that these dogs suffer. Now I know and you know, he must be condemned and we have to stop him,” the message reads. “Can I ask if anyone has a dog or cat in their family?” And any family considers its dog or cat as another member.
What would you feel if one day they disappeared and never came back?” actress Chi Pu asks before the camera. The campaign also takes into America Mobile Number List account the growing awareness and safety concerns caused by the high number of violent clashes between dog thieves and their owners across the country. One of APCA's main objectives is to explain to consumers that the meat they taste in specialized restaurants often comes from stray animals or pets stolen from their owners after being electrocuted or dragged with steel tongs hooked to the neck. “The dogs' journey often ends in a slaughterhouse, a market or a restaurant. Sacrifice methods vary from place to place, but include beatings with metal rods and stabbings to the throat and stomach,” the organization indicates on its website. According to official APCA statistics, at least five million dogs are slaughtered for consumption each year in Vietnam, which places the Indochinese country only behind China, where about ten million dogs are consumed per year. “We believe that the real number is higher because no country in the area has regulations or laws that control meat smuggling,” Le Duc , APCA coordinator in Vietnam, recently told the Tre newspaper.
Addition to influencing the ethical questioning of these practices or the poor conditions in which dogs trafficked from Cambodia, Laos and Thailand are transported, the animal rights organization insists on the sanitary deficiencies that threaten the health of the consumer. The Vietnamese government recognized last year that the unregulated trade in dog meat posed a threat to public health and admitted its links to infections of rabies, cholera and other diseases. Last year, APCA managed to gather 1.4 million signatures in a similar campaign to demand an official ban on the consumption of dog meat in Thailand, where the custom is much less established than in Vietnam. A good decision must also embrace diversity of thought, according to Luz Adriana Ramírez, general director of Visa Mexico. “The most enriching decisions are those in which plural voices are heard.” In addition, values must value individuality, honesty, respect and integrity of people. “We cannot be leaders if we do not have spirituality,” said Marcela , country manager of PVH Mexico. Finally, Sánchez y , general director of , recommended that women remain in constant movement and learn about different topics, so that they develop a more complete profile, far from corporate stereotypes and prejudices.
