Teachers and traditional medicine practitioners are joining the fight to end the dog and cat meat trade in Vietnam 🇻🇳 💪

We are proud to bring you news from two recent workshops organised by Soi Dog Foundation and social behaviour change agency Intelligentmedia in collaboration with Vietnam’s education sector and traditional medicine community.

📚 On November 3rd in Hanoi, teachers from more than 30 secondary schools committed to incorporating the ethical and health implications of the dog and cat meat trade into their curriculum to inspire the next generation to effect change.

“Dog and cat meat trade and consumption are becoming controversial, and that needs to be addressed from an educational aspect,” said the Head of the Education and Training Department in Dong Da.

🌿 And today, the Ha Nam Traditional Medicine Association pledged to cease using dog and cat meat in their practices and to educate their peers and patients that there is no scientific evidence of its claimed medicinal qualities.

“The Association commits to… disseminating the zero-tolerance message against the consumption of dog and cat meat and guiding our patients towards safer natural-based ingredients,” said the Head of the Association.

This is another significant step forward for animal welfare from two of Vietnam’s most influential sectors. And it wouldn’t have been possible without you!

Thank you for your continued support in the fight against this trade. 🙏
