'TICKING TIME BOMB' Sales of dog and cat meat surge on food apps in Vietnam and Cambodia after doctors claim it can ‘fight off coronavirus’

The coronavirus crisis has led to a surge in the sale of dog and cat meat through food delivery apps in Vietnam and Cambodia, an investigation has found.
Despite other countries looking to reduce the sale and consumption of live animals, doctors in the region are encouraging many to eat dog and cat meat, claiming its properties help fight off viruses.
The shocking investigation, carried out by the animal charity FOUR PAWS, revealed that not only have sales risen, sellers have adapted to the market by offering the meat on food delivery apps as a takeaway option.
The horrendous trade came to light over fears that the coronavirus pandemic was sparked by a live exotic animal market in the city of Wuhan, China, back in January.
FOUR PAWS veterinarian, Kathrine Polak, said: "The unsanitary conditions associated with the cat and dog meat trade, coupled with the contamination risks of having so many different animal species caged and killed alongside one another, present the perfect breeding ground for new and deadly diseases, like COVID-19.
"The rampant trade and live animal markets across Southeast Asia are ticking time bombs.
"If governments do not act now and shut down these cruel markets, the next global pandemic might originate in Vietnam, Cambodia or Indonesia."
Despite the global pandemic, the continued sale of dog and cat meat in the region has seen a transition from a cruel ‘dine-in’ to a ‘to-go’ service.
With 110 dog meat restaurants across Cambodia's capital of Phnom Penh, vendors are taking sales one step further by offering dog dishes on food delivery apps.
Vendors can also be seen wearing facemasks on the roadside as they hand out bags of dog meat for customers to eat or prepare at home.

Re: Eating dog meat in Cambodia
Makes perfect sense. Dog meat has been known since ages ago to help cure tuberculosis which is a lung disease.

Bullshit story from the Sun, likely completely made up or expanded from some report from a tiny area.
Silence, exile, and cunning.

Re: Eating dog meat in Cambodia
The key message should have been the unsanitary conditions of selling meat on the roadside possibly spreading the virus. But sadly the Sun mixed it with the western sensationalism of dog and cat meat. Because (in my opinion), emotion and sensationalism sells.
In South Korea, some dogs are bred of meat in special farms, just like chickens and cows. So there are dogs for pets and dogs for food. The two do not mix.
I know I have crossed into controversial waters, so please excuse my indulgence.

The issue I have with dog meat is the stories of the inhumane way they are killed. apparently the animal has to be terriifed to produce adrenaline which either is supposed to improve the taste or improve the medicnal abilities and thats where you get horrific videos of dogs being skinned aliev or otherwise tortured. in the west we try to kill animals humanely because we think it ruins the flavour if they are scared
