Ending the dog meat trade in Vietnam
28 February 2025
Animals Asia’s latest petition is calling on the Vietnamese Government to make the sale of dog meat illegal in Vietnam, as a major step towards ending the trade for good.
Five million dogs are slaughtered for the trade in Vietnam every year. That’s 13,699 dogs every day.
Illegal practices
From much loved family pets being stolen, crammed into small cages and transported hundreds of miles wthout food or water, to killing dogs in front of those that are next - many aspects of the trade are illegal, as well as being extremely inhumane and brutal.
Dogs endure cramped cages and deprivation while being illegally transported.
You can make a difference
It’s time to end Vietnam’s trade in dog meat.
By adding your signature you will show Vietnam that the world is watching.
We will deliver the petition in person to the Vietnamese Government in November 2023. This is when the trade in dogs increases, ahead of Lunar New Year in February where dog meat is traditionally consumed. Handing in a petition with tens of thousands of signatures will show the Government that the world wants them to ban the trade.
Thank you.
