Stop The Dog & Cat Meat Trade
Toronto Is Marching
Stop The Dog & Cat Meat Trade – Animal Action Canada is hosting Toronto’s march on Saturday April 4, 2015. Our march registration starts at 10:00 A.M at Bell Trinity Square across from Toronto City Hall. We will start to walk at 11:00 A.M. and the actual march will be about an hour. Other cities around the world are also marching on the same day to bring awareness to this brutal and mostly illegal trade.
Their terror is grotesque – the suffering is mind numbing and for the 25 million cats and dogs around the world who are the victims of this obscene trade every year the misery before and during their deaths is horrific.
The Goal Of The March
To expose the dog meat trade globally
To expose the cat meat trade globally
To expose the countries involved
To expose the cruelty in the trade
To take stolen pets off the menu
To pressure the complicit governments
To expose the kidnappers – smugglers
To let people know how they can help
To encourage people to sign our petition – which will be presented to The Government.
The Cruelty Involved
Many of the animals are stolen pets
Pregnant dogs/ and cats give birth in cages
8 – 12 dogs are crammed into one cage
Dogs can only sweat by panting
Their mouths are bound tightly shut
Their front legs are often dislocated
Their legs and tails are often broken
They are trucked to the meat markets
They may be on a truck for 7+days
They have no rest – food – water
The Meat Markets
25 million dogs/cats are killed annually
The animals are selected by the customers
They may be taken home for slaughter
At restaurants they are killed slowly
They are boiled – grilled – skinned alive
They are killed in front of each other
A longer death equals tastier meat
At dog farms they are brutally force fed
The fear and suffering are barbaric
This trade must be ended globally – we have debased ourselves as humans by being involved in this barbaric practice.
