Not food for Dogs, Dogs as food for People.
The vehicle was detained late on Saturday night in Semarang city on the island of Java, where the imperiled pooches were
discovered in the bed of the truck with their legs and mouths bound.
The authorities arrested five truck crew members, who will be charged under an animal welfare regulation and could
face five years in prison.
Indonesia is one of a handful of countries that still permit the sale of dog and cat meat, but a campaign against the practice has been gaining ground, with some cities including Semarang imposing local bans on the trade in recent years.
“We have had information about this for the past month, but only tonight were we able to thwart the transport of 226 dogs,” local police chief Irwan Anwar told reporters Saturday night.
Korea is another place dog/cat meat in legal but there's a growing crowd pushing legislation.
The Korean folks against changing the rules are saying... ‘cows are living animals too’.
As South Korea plans dog meat ban, farmers threaten to flood Seoul with 2 million canines.
Makes we wonder if it's a idle threat, or they have 2 million in the pipeline?

North American Indians raised dog as we now raise cattle. When food was plenty, they fed dogs. When food was short, they ate dogs. These 'cattle' also doubled as security alarms.

You don't need a fancy rotisserie to cook dog. Just get it skewered on a spit and say, "Roll over."

If it's legal there, why did the police bust them?
