Graphic: The Dog Meat Death Pits Where Terrified Animals Are Hog-Tied & Thrown On Top of Each Other.....

     Across Asia an estimated 30 million dogs are killed annually for human consumption, with the trade most prevalent in China, South Korea, Vietnam, the Philippines, Thailand, Laos, and Cambodia. But that's not the only places.

Horrifying footage has emerged unveiling the cruel underground dog trade in India where pets' mouths are stitched closed before they are clubbed to death.

The chilling video was shot in a dog meat death pit in Kohima, where canines were beaten with wooden sticks and killed in front of each other for their meat.
It's thought more than 30,000 dogs are killed by smugglers - who stitch their lips together to keep them quiet during transport - every year in Nagaland, India, alone.

Humane Society International in India has written to the Chief Minister of Nagaland to urge the government to implement the existing ban on dog meat consumption, patrol trade routes and shut down markets like this one
Dogs packed in sacks with just their heads poking out, their mouth either stitched closed or bound tight with rope to keep them quiet so that they can be illegally smuggles into Nagaland from neighbouring states

The footage was taken by Humane Society International in India (HSI/India) at local markets in Kohima and Dimapur.

It shows dogs packed in sacks with just their heads poking out, their mouth either stitched closed or bound tight with rope to keep them quiet so that they can be illegally smuggles into Nagaland from neighbouring states.

During transport and display in the markets, they are denied movement, food or water, before finally being clubbed to death. 

The limp, dead bodies of the bloodied dogs are thrown around the market, landing on other canines who watch on as they await the same fate.
  

HSI/India's managing director, N. G Jayasimha, who witnessed the dog death pits, said: 'It has been a heart-breaking experience to go to Nagaland and watch these terrified dogs being subjected to such an horrific death.
'I see animal suffering every day as part of my job at Humane Society International/India, but the brutal dog trade of Nagaland is some of the worst inhumanity to animals I have ever witnessed, and it still haunts me. 
'The underground pit in Kohima where we filmed was like a nightmare. 
'The look of helplessness and fear in the eyes of these animals was devastating - hog-tied in a bag unable to move, their muzzles tied shut so they could hardly breathe, witnessing other dogs around them being beaten and killed. 
'It was clear to me that many of the dogs were stolen pets still wearing their collars, but whether street or pet dogs, none of these animals should ever have to endure such cruelty.'

The consumption of dog meat is already against the law in India, as is the cruel transport and treatment of animals, which violates animal transportation provisions and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960

The society has now launched a campaign to end India's brutal and illegal dog meat trade. 

HSI/India has written to the Chief Minister of Nagaland to urge the government to implement the existing ban on dog meat consumption, patrol trade routes and shut down markets. 
The organisation has also launched an online petition calling on the authorities to enforce India's dog meat ban immediately. 
  

The consumption of dog meat is already against the law in India, as is the cruel transport and treatment of animals, which violates animal transportation provisions and the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act, 1960. 

But these provisions are being openly ignored by the traders and the local authorities are failing to implement the law in Nagaland state, HSI/India say.

Dog meat is considered taboo in India except in Nagaland and few other north eastern states where it is considered by some as 'healthy'.

Until next time….hug your animals. Tell them you love them. If you don’t have a pet, adopt one. Make adoption your first option when seeking a pet. Adopt. Don’t shop. Can’t adopt. Please consider fostering one. The animal will have the taste of home and the shelter will cover the expenses. Can’t foster? Make a donation or volunteer at your local shelter. Please, don’t hunt. Unless you’re starving down in a ditch somewhere, there is no logical reason to do so. Whatever you do, however you do it, please be a voice for the animals large and small. All it takes is one to make a difference, good or bad.
                                     
Together, you and I can make a difference in an animal's life.  I’m one for the animals. Are you? Thanks for visiting. Stay safe. Be strong. Be happy. Smile. Show compassion. Be nice to one another.
