Friend,
I want to speak to you directly about what our team faced in Pangasinan.
During an intelligence-led operation with the Philippine National Police, our investigators intercepted the carcass of a dog being transported for illegal sale in the dog meat trade. The photo above shows only the dog’s foot — it’s one of just a few images we can safely share. The rest are far too graphic.
This dog didn’t simply “die.” This dog was slaughtered. She died alone and terrified. She was treated as nothing more than meat on the way to sale.
The man arrested is not just a trader. He is a dog slaughterer operating inside a cruel and organised illegal trade that destroys lives for profit.
Our team acted fast, Friend. We gathered the evidence on the ground. We pushed authorities to move. And now a 38-year-old suspect is in custody.
But arrests mean nothing if penalties are weak.
Too many dog-meat cases are dropped, downgraded, or pushed aside unless the public demands real consequences. This time must be different.
We are calling for the maximum penalty under the Animal Welfare Act (RA 8485/10631) and we need your name behind that demand. Friend, will you sign the petition and help us secure the strongest possible charges?
Every name tells prosecutors that the public wants justice for this dog and protection for the next one who might be taken, transported, and slaughtered.
We will keep investigating these networks. We will keep disrupting their routes. We will keep protecting and rescuing dogs caught in this brutality. But we cannot shift the justice system alone.
Please add your name now, Friend. Your voice gives weight to this case. Your action gives this dog dignity.
Thank you for standing with us when it matters most.
For all animals,
Jacob and Team AWIP
