Bali-based Lola Webber, who is End Dog Meat campaign director for DMFI member group Humane Society International said: "As well as being unspeakably brutal, it’s easy to see how this trade is the perfect breeding ground for the next serious public health disaster.
"New pathogens could easily jump to humans if a dog trader was wounded during the day’s slaughter, a local consumer ate cross-contaminated dog meat bought at a nearby stall, or a tourist breathed in microscopic blood droplets as they sight-see the markets. In the face of such an obvious public health and animal welfare risk, we hope this will be the first of many prosecutions.
It comes as a dog meat trader was sentenced to a ten-month jail term and fined 150 million Indonesian Rupiahs in the country's first-ever dog meat prosecution.The trader was caught by police transporting 78 dogs in the back of a truck.The dogs had been stolen from the streets with many of them still wearing collars.
"Despite only a tiny percentage of people in Indonesia actually eating dog meat, it's a trade that impacts everyone because of the risk to public health, so it's great to see the authorities taking really firm action and we hope it will inspire others to do likewise.
For the love of God 🙏 why
Why the hell is nothing done to stop theses monsters , I,d cut their hands off 🤬🤬🤬

Cumbria Police sorry for black drug dealer image in appeal leafletCampaigning group Anti Racist Cumbria said the image perpetuated 'racial stereotypes.' Shedding a tear for all the poor oppressed white males in the comments This is beyond cringeworthy. Funny that, because when Thames Valley put up pictures of convicted drug dealers on our local pages it’s nearly always a black lad. The stereotype exists for a reason. In the same way if they did a leaflet about city banking fraud it would be a white public schoolboy.
