To the Governor of North Sulawesi, Yulius Selvanus,

<h3>The cruelty happening in dog meat markets in Indonesia is unacceptable and must end.</h3> <h3>Dogs are crammed into filthy cages, left with untreated wounds, and forced to witness the violent killing of others.</h3> <h3>Many collapse from exhaustion or pain long before their lives are taken.</h3> <h3>This trade is not only brutal to animals — it also fuels the spread of rabies, putting entire communities at risk.</h3> <h3>The unsanitary markets, covered in blood and waste, endanger both people and animals.</h3> <h3>We urge you to stop the capture, transport, and slaughter of dogs for meat, and to hold accountable those who abuse and kill them.</h3> <h3>Humane, safe, and effective solutions exist.</h3> <h3>Indonesia can and must act now to end this cruelty and protect both animals and people.</h3>
