At the time of writing, almost half a million Vietnamese animal lovers have protested the unbelievable cruelty involved in this trade by signing the Vietnamese-language version of the petition. All signatures received to date have now been handed to Vietnam�s National Assembly in advance of their upcoming discussion on the country�s Veterinary Bill, but the petition remains ongoing and open for additional signatures.

The transport of unvaccinated dogs between countries such as Vietnam and Laos, and between provinces within Vietnam, has resulted in outbreaks of cholera, rabies and other serious diseases. Underscoring the health risks to humans is the only way this trade may one day be eliminated.

With this in mind, billboards have now been erected along the highway that leads to the border crossing between Vietnam and Laos. The billboard headline states: �RABIES CAUSES DEATH�, with the rest of the text reading, �Illegally importing and transporting live dogs or dog meat will result in confiscation of the consignment and prosecution by law.�

Permission has also been granted for billboards to be erected along the national highway leading from 6 central provinces to Hanoi.

Please join Vietnam�s animal lovers in sending a message directly to their government. Please SIGN THE PETITION to help end the barbaric slaughter of millions of Vietnamese dogs every year: http://bit.ly/End_The_Dog_Meat_Trade_In_Vietnam
