Pet owners speak out against the cat meat trade in Vietnam
Every year in Vietnam, over one million cats are stolen for the brutal cat meat trade. Cat owners throughout the country live in constant fear of having their cats snatched and killed for their meat, a dish that goes by the name "Little Tiger". The Cats Matter Too Coalition led by FOUR PAWS, Change for Animals Foundation, Paws for Compassion, Vietnam Cat Welfare, Hanoi Pet Rescue, and Save and Rescue Dogs and Cats Saigon is working to put an end to the suffering of both cats and their owners.

Second Cambodian dog slaughterhouse closure
In October 2020, FOUR PAWS was able to permanently shut down another dog slaughterhouse in Cambodia. 15 dogs were rescued in the very last second before being slaughtered. All of them survived even though some of them were suffering from severe injuries and traumas. FOUR PAWS supported the owners of the facility in finding another business to be able to still provide for their family.

FOUR PAWS shuts down dog meat slaughterhouse in Cambodia
A FOUR PAWS team, with the help of our local partners Animal Rescue Cambodia, has closed down a slaughterhouse in Cambodia, where two thousand dogs were killed every year. The moment when we took down the sign advertising "special meat" and replaced it with a "closed" banner at first seemed to be the emotional highlight of the day - but only until the owner started his speech. He thanked FOUR PAWS for making it possible for him to turn his back to the dog meat business, which he always hated but had to pursue to provide for his family.
