Friend,
A dog was blowtorched at an illegal roadside slaughterhouse in the Philippines.
Investigators believe this slaughterhouse was killing a minimum of two dogs every single day.
That means hundreds, potentially over a thousand dogs, may have been killed here over time.
Their heads were smashed. Their bodies were burned with blowtorches while the slaughterhouse continued operating in public view.
This was organised, deliberate, and profitable.
A joint AWIP and police operation led to the interception and arrest of one man who was dropping off this poor, innocent blowtorched dog to one of his customers at the side of a road.
But this cannot end with a minor consequence.
If penalties remain weak, operations like this may continue killing dogs while traffickers simply move elsewhere.
Every signature helps increase pressure for maximum penalties and stronger crackdowns before more dogs are killed.
Dogs trapped in places like this have nobody to protect them unless people choose to act.
