Three dog abusers behind bars

Three dog abusers have been jailed with the help of members of Network for Animals’ Philippine anti-dog-meat team. As a result of their action on 10 September 2015 the Calatagan police force, 100 miles south of Manila, was able to arrest three dog meat traders.

It is a significant blow to this illegal trade in which dogs, many of them people’s pets, are placed in brutal conditions  like the tiny wire cages pictured, stuffed to breaking with poor suffocating pets, unfed, without water, unable to move.

As Brian Davies, Founder of the Network for Animals, points out, the Philippine climate leads to a year-round baking summer heat, and an almost constant 80-90% humidity. “What these poor dogs have to go through on the way to a human’s dinner plate, I believe is one of the worst forms of torture to exist on this earth, and one that I have personally dedicated more than 30 years to ending, ” he said.

The traders had been monitored for around two months by the Network for Animals operatives and their informants, until the slaughtering operation was eventually located in the middle of a sugarbeet field, 30 miles south-west of the traders’ home.

The remote choice of venue meant there was great difficulty apprehending the traders, and highlighted the lengths they go to to evade capture.

As this is one of the first raids the local police force has attempted to prosecute, the Network for Animals’s veteran team leader has temporarily moved to the area to assist the police with the legal issues surrounding the case, already preventing it being thrown out of court on a technicality.

Heartbreakingly, the bodies of 18 slaughtered dogs were also discovered and have been laid to rest in the area.

To perform the monitoring, carry out the raids, and generate the extensive legal work  involved in changing the lives of dogs in the Philippines needs support. Please make a generous donation today, and help bring this vile trade to an end.

    CDPOM/ Celebrate Pets are a great bunch of people. They have been looking after our cat for just about every period away from home for the last five years, from single days to a couple of weeks. They are really great with him and no extra seems too large for them from watering the plants to putting the bins out. We always get a text from them so that we know visits have started and comprehensive reports on what he's been like when we're away. Cannot recommend highly enough, completely reliable and they love our cat. What more could you want?

    As a customer for over 7 years and a regular traveller, I have been delighted with the service provided in looking after my home and pets. Easy and simple booking and payment process, prompt responses, and never a problem to arrange care for my cats even at very short notice. I have complete confidence in leaving my home and pets in their hands. They keep me updated while I'm away and even put a pint of milk in the fridge if I'm away for more than a few days.

    We are so pleased we found CDPOM as our cat, Lucy, was so distressed in the cattery. We have been using their services for several years now and have always found them extremely reliable and we are always confident that Lucy is in safe hands. From their reports, she seems to enjoy their visits and always looks well and happy when we return home. In addition, they always ensure that the house is left secure and how we left it. We would highly recommend them.

    Louise and all the team at CDPOM have been amazing. I have used them for many years to look after my dog and the team obviously love the animals. They have helped me out at short notice and also kept Molly for longer when I've been delayed. Louise also house sits which give me peace of mind that someone is around when I'm away and less stressful on Molly. Thanks again and cant recommend highly enough.

    So reliable, I would highly recommend Louise and her Cat visiting service. Going away can be quite stressful with cats, as they don't like the disruption of being moved elsewhere, or having strangers in the house. After trying a few things, I realised home visits is really the best way. It was hard to find a reliable service at first, after a few issues in the past, so CDPOM was a godsend. Louise has been looking after my cats for over 10 years, and she has removed the stress out of travelling, as I know my cat will be in good hands with her. Thanks Louise!
