'Stop Dog Meat' Campaign

A number of dog and cat lover activists, who are members of Dog Meat Free Indonesia, are protesting to stop the consumption of dog meat outside the House of Representatives building in Jakarta, Indonesia, on February 1, 2024. They are calling on Indonesia's parliament to pass a bill banning the breeding, slaughtering, and selling of dogs for their meat, a traditional practice that activists have long considered an embarrassment for the country and a danger to public health.
