    I hope my country follows suit. The law that banned dog and cat meat consumption was repealed in the early 2000s. Since then, the dog and cat meat trade has flourished. Pet dogs and cats are snatched from people’s homes, and brought to slaughterhouses to be force fed, hosed down, and slaughtered. The neighborhood I grew up in has had so many dogs snatched. Every time I see people eating dog meat, it saddens me to think that it was someone’s pet that they loved so so much, just to have it be killed in such a horrible way. And as a pet owner, it scares me, because it could’ve been my cat.
