ΚΙΝΑ, ΣΦΑΓΗ ΣΚΥΛΩΝ για Κινεζικά εστιατόρια

1500 σκυλιά, έσωσαν εθελοντές της περιοχής Τσονκίνγκ στην Κίνα.
Οι εθελοντές έστησαν μπλόκο στον αυτοκινητόδρομο της περιοχής και σταμάτησαν την πορεία των ζώων προς το θάνατο, καθώς μεταφέρονταν προκειμένου να σφαγιαστούν.
Truck full of dogs crammed into tiny cages and bound for Chinese restaurants is intercepted by animal lovers By David Gerges
19th January 2012 Cruel: The dogs which were being taken to a chain of restaurants in south-west China
Animal welfare volunteers and police in Chongqing, south-west China, discovered the malnourished and dehydrated animals loaded inside cages so small they couldn’t stand up.
They took them to a nearby farm where they were given food, water and emergency medical treatment, but many were too frail to survive.
Malnourished: Some of the dogs were in such poor condition that they failed to survive even after emergency medical treatment

Eleven countries around the globe still eat dog meat. They are: China, Indonesia, Korea, Mexico, Philippines, Polynesia, Taiwan, Vietnam, the Arctic and Antarctic and two cantons in Switzerland.

China: Although the Chinese were the first to domesticate the dog and keep them as pets, dog meat has been a source of food from at least the time of Confucius, and possibly even before.

Indonesia: Eating dog meat is usually associated with people from the Batak Toba culture, who cook a traditional dish named saksang that is like a dog-meat stew.

Mexico: Dogs were historically bred for their meat by the Aztecs. These dogs were called itzcuintlis, and were often pictured on pre-Columbian Mexican pottery.

Philippines: In the capital city of Manila,the law specifically prohibits the killing and selling of dogs for food except in certain circumstances including research and animal population control.

Polynesia: Dogs were historically eaten in Tahiti and other islands of Polynesia at the time of first European contact in 1769.

Taiwan: Dog meat in Taiwan is particularly eaten in the winter months, especially black dogs, which are believed to help retain body warmth.

Korea: Gaegogi literally means 'dog meat' in Korean. Gaegogi, however, is often mistaken as the term for Korean soup made from dog meat, bosintang. The distaste felt by dog lovers, particularly from the West, has made this dish very controversial.

Switzerland: According to a Swiss newspaper report in 1996, the Swiss rural cantons of Appenzell and St. Gallen are known to have had a tradition of eating dogs, curing dog meat into jerky and sausages, as well as using the lard for medicinal purposes.

Vietnam: Dog meat is eaten throughout Vietnam. To many Northerners, it is a popular, if relatively expensive, dinnertime restaurant meal.

Arctic and Antarctic: Dogs have historically been an emergency food source for various peoples in Siberia, Alaska, northern Canada, and Greenland. Sled dogs are usually maintained for pulling sleds, but occasionally are eaten when no other food is available.
