| YOU
CAN SAVE A LIFE !
The first day I arrived in the Philippines in November 1998
is still very fresh
in my mind and until now I cannot imagine how I got-by by
being absolutely on my own; with no knowledge of the Filipino
language and not knowing where I would sleep that night, a
less determined soul would have backed-out. Don't ask me how
I managed I just knew that I had to. Someone had to make an
unswerving stand to help the thousand of dogs that were, and
still are, being savagely killed for the dinner table.
Turning Filipino journalists who are true animal-lovers into
investigators has worked very well over the years in fighting
the wicked perpetrators of the dog-meat trade. Dozens of raids
on illegal slaughterhouses, restaurants and markets selling
dog meat have been successfully carried out, plus seizures
of vehicles transporting dogs for slaughter, all of which
resulted in many arrests and convictions and, of course, a
thousand or more dogs being rescued, not least of all our
Sweet being one of them. If Sweet were the only one to have
been rescued, he would have made it all worthwhile.
Who would have thought that Sweet, the little mongrel dog
I rescued from an illegal Philippine dog slaughterhouse just
moments before he would have been brutally killed, will bag
the "GRAND WINNER"
honor in the 2004 Daily Mail contest beating the 8,000 other
contenders for this title!
Sweet was only 4 months old when we rescued him, so thin and
frightened and who wouldn't be, he had just watched 62 dogs
being killed by being bashed over the head with a piece of
wood. Their butchered bodies being stacked on top of his cage!
There was no escape, his death was imminent, and his little
body would have ended up on someone's dinner plate.
Sweet is the lucky one, he now has a good home living with
my wife and I and Saffy, our cat. If Sweet is not the happiest
dog in the world, I'd like to see a happier dog. Sadly in
the Philippines, every week more than 2,000 of his kinds are
tortured to death and end up on someone's dinner plate.
YOU can make a difference, let it be today! Help me bring
about the demise of this wicked illegal trade in dogs for
human consumption. Your donation, no matter how big or small,
allows us to continue this fight. Our promise to you is -
we will only spend your money in the Philippines to completely
put an end to this evil dog-trade and rescue more dogs just
like our Sweet.
