Animal Abuse-So I can eat!

THE ILLEGAL BUSH MEAT TRADE
Bush Meat was originally defined as the hunting and killing of all types of wild animals in West and Central Africa, Asia and the humid tropics of the Americas.
The meat trade is an illegal activity that takes place on a daily basis. Wildlife is indiscriminately hunted for criminal profits, irrespective of whether they are endangered or not.

China also has a booming puppy meat trade, where thousands meet the most horrifying end by getting boiled alive or clubbed to death:

The consumption of illegal bush meat is remarkably dangerous, with viruses such as Ebola and AIDS rife. However, even these risks do not prevent the brutal murder of endangered species.

Another consequence to this barbaric act when entire families of monkeys are hunted down and murdered, quite often the traumatized babies are sold as exotic pets:

The Bush Meat trade is sickeningly brutal and cruel. I for one am disgusted that this still goes on in today's society. It must be stopped!

Illegal Dog Meat Trade in Asia

The illegal dog meat trade is the ultimate betrayal of mans best friend! Southeast Asia's illegal dog meat trade is on the rise. It is a multi-million dollar industry run by criminals of the worst kind.
In Thailand crime lords arrange the capture of at least 30 000 stray dogs every month for exportation into Vietnam, via Laos and the illegal river borders, where the taste for bush meat, particularly dog meat, runs high.
Thai society frowns upon this activity, however, killing dogs, no matter how brutally, carries no legal penalty.
Wild dogs are corralled and forced into wire cages for export to Vietnam. They are graded by size as different sized dogs are worth different amounts. How they can look at a defenceless animal in this way is beyond me!
