‘Chicken satay’ served to
tourists is actually dog meat
Dogs
are often left bound and unable to access food or water for days on end while
awaiting slaughter.

Unsuspecting
tourists in Bali are eating dog meat that they’ve been told is “chicken satay,”
according to a new report.
Some of the canine
skewers served on the
Indonesian island are poisoned from the
cyanide used to
kill the puppies — and those
are the dogs that aren’t just bludgeoned or
hung
from trees to die, Australia’s ABC
“Aside from the cruelty,
the greatest shock was to discover that tourists are unwittingly eating dog
meat and fueling the trade,” said an investigator from activist group Animals
Australia, identified only as Luke for his own safety.
“The average tourist coming
to Bali has no idea that ‘RW’ on the outside of popular street food stalls
indicates dog meat.”
Luke spent four months
undercover in the city’s dog meat trade, documenting gangs as they stole pups,
then brutally slaughtered them for food, the news outlet reports.
“As an animal cruelty
investigator, I have trained myself to cope with cruelty, but nothing prepared
me for the brutal catching of dogs in the village,” he told ABC’s “7:30” program.
“I focused on my camera
work but it was gut-wrenching to hear these dogs … screaming and wailing in
terror and sorrow.”
Dog meat is legal in the
country — although killing animals cruelly and serving poison meat are not —
and many locals willingly dine on the dish, which they believe makes men more
virile.
“It is good for health
especially during winter. It is good for breathing. It makes us strong,” one
60-year-old man told “7:30.”
But holidaymakers
sunning themselves on the beaches of the tourism hotspot are none the wiser
when they’re approached by a vendor selling what he insists is chicken.
“Satay chicken, not
dog?” an Australian tourist asks the peddler in a videotaped exchange.
“No, not dog,” he
replies.
“I’m happy just as long
as it’s not dog,” the Aussie says before chowing down on Fido.
The animal rights
activists are hoping Balinese authorities will crack down on the industry now
that they’ve exposed the poisoned meat entering the local food chain.
