Crates of dogs packed tightly together awaiting slaughter in Philippines

I’m surprised about this picture

for the Philippines per se

has laws protecting dogs

for food apparently ,that say

The Metro Manila Commission 82 05

prohibits the killing of dogs for food

thus most should now survive

the1998 Animal Welfare Act

is also there to try

and preclude dogs for the table

so again less dogs should die

Benguati province does allow

dogs on the menu there

but generally its frowned upon

sos this data I do share

Jews and Muslims do not eat dog for it is banned

so the Philippines could easily

stop it if they planned

“Asocena” is the dish that many think is good

and this is made of dog ,I think

and probably why it would

therefore be on some menu’s in this province

from time to time

but anyway this data

now included in this rhyme

should help our canine brethren

hopefully it will

and less and less  dogs

will I think

be eaten now until

the law is made much tighter

and right across the land

when  people really begin to

truthfully understand
