Vietnam Asks Residents Not To Eat Dog Meat

PROGRESS IN HANOI, VIETNAM!

Officials in Hanoi are urging people to stop eating dog and cat meat, in an effort to protect the city’s reputation and to halt the spread of killer diseases such as rabies.

In a statement earlier today, John Dalley of Soi Dog Foundation praised the Mayor of Hanoi:

“This is a positive first step and a reward for the work carried out over the past year by Soi Dog Foundation and Instinct de Vies. However,it is very much a first step, and we will continue to work with and support the Mayor and his team to bring about a change in the law in Hanoi.”

As acknowledged by the city’s Mayor, the appalling cruelty of the trade has a negative effect on the image of Hanoi as a leading city and cultural centre of Asia, in addition to being a real danger to the health of its population.

Mr. Dalley continued, “There is no place for cruelty in culture.

Hanoi is growing into a 21st century city, and practices that belong in the dark ages should be cleared away”.
