In 2014, Thanks To Your Invaluable Support, Soi Do..

In 2014, thanks to your invaluable support, Soi Dog Foundation together with the Thai government successfully ended Thailand’s illegal dog meat trade.

Even though laws were in place at the time, thousands of animals fell victim to the trade and were transported across the border from Thailand through Laos to Vietnam. These animals were a mixture of abducted pets and innocent street dogs.

Since the crackdowns and since thousands of victims of the dog meat trade were rescued in the north of Thailand, the trade has been abolished.

However, we believe in driving the message home and reminding tourists and migrant workers from neighbouring Myanmar and Cambodia that the trade and consumption of dog and cat meat in Thailand is unacceptable and carries a hefty fine or a jail sentence.

Here are some of the new billboards that went up around the island of Phuket which we hope act not only as deterrent but as an education and awareness campaign for tourists and locals too.

The billboards, displayed in English, Thai and Burmese, reinforce the message that the selling and eating of dogs and cats is illegal.
