Consumption Of Dogs In The Philippines

EDM number 376 in 2002-03, proposed by Nick Palmer on 16/12/2002.

That this House congratulates Sky News on its broadcast on Political Animal Lobby's work in the Philippines on the illegal trade in the capture and slaughter of dogs for food; notes with great concern that despite the Act passed in 1998 the trade continues; respectfully requests the Philippine Government to recognise the repugnant nature of this practice to many countries around the world; and calls upon the relevant Philippine authorities to enforce the terms of the 1998 Act by stamping out the selling of dogs for food.

This motion has been signed by a total of 70 MPs.
