Despite opposition to the dog meat trade, local governments often don’t enforce laws in some rural areas of Indonesia where consuming dogs endures, activists say.
Lola Webber, Bali-based co-founder and director of the Change for Animals Foundation, a charity registered in England, told The Times she visited the Tomohon market around Christmas 2017. She said “maybe three” butchers, including one she recognized from Ching’s videos, together approached her group asking whether they were with Ching. Webber said she told them no.
Frank Manus manages Animal Friends Manado Indonesia, which operates a shelter in Tomohon. He said that during a brief meeting in 2016, Ching showed him photos of a dog being burned alive at the Tomohon market. Manus said he immediately doubted the photos. Soon after, Margenfeld said, he started his own foundation with a name that echoes that of Ching’s charity when translated into English. Margenfeld said the early web postings of his foundation focused on Ching’s work. He added that his foundation later contributed more than $50,000 in funds and services to Ching’s efforts, including the cost of flying American veterinarians to China.
“Because I had never been to Asian slaughterhouses, I thought it was real,” he said of the torture. “I went to Tomohon and it was so different from Ching’s video.” “It’s up to you,” Ching replied. “I’d rather not document it…. When I go undercover, I don’t know, I like it better, because, like, it’s just natural, you know. They’re doing it already.”
“Mr. Ching and the foundation ultimately decided against including anything like that in the documentary and the videographer himself has confirmed that no such event ever occurred,” Selmont said in an email.

This is not the only case of cruel torture of animals by the Chinese.There are frequent cases when dogs are brewed alive and skinned from live animals in China.

Inhumane butchery, and the people who profit from them. We’re a fucked up species.
Why are we believing China again? They lied about coronavirus
Awful.
I can’t watch this. But may he burn in hell for doing this.
Get your facts straight! This entire article is based on hearsay! The reporters choose to take the word of dog butchers in Indonesia rather than recognizing and applauding a reformed and selfless man who’s only goal is to put an end to the suffering of dogs both here and abroad!
What a shoddy piece of what revenge reporting! IDK who Marc pissed off or why these reporters have it in for him but it is wildly inappropriate to dredge up his past mistakes in an effort to vilify him in the present and try to give weight to these crazy accusations.
Marc ching is a hero!!! This is fake news!!!! Terrible article! Not true
Ching has told supporters that his videos were mostly recorded while he posed as a dog meat buyer at slaughterhouses in Indonesia and Cambodia. Some of the gruesome images appear in a PSA featuring Matt Damon, Joaquin Phoenix and Rooney Mara.
