A nine-year-old boy from Malapatan, Sarangani, sadly passed away from rabies after being bitten by a stray dog on May 18. His parents only discovered the bite after he developed symptoms on June 9, and although he received the first dose of anti-rabies vaccine, the virus had already affected his brain, resulting in his death the following day. Efforts to locate the dog revealed that it had been slaughtered and eaten by about 30 local residents beforehand. While they were not quarantined, all 30 individuals are now receiving post-exposure rabies prophylaxis due to the high risk of infection from improperly cooked dog meat. Health officials are urging anyone bitten by a dog or other potentially rabid animal to seek immediate medical attention at the nearest health facility or animal bite center

The Dog Meat Festival in China continues to spark growing controversy and public backlash. Although the event has drawn widespread international condemnation for its brutal treatment of dogs, many of which are stolen pets or strays, a recent poll reveals that the majority of Yulin residents do not actually consume dog meat, and local support for the festival is declining. Activists and animal welfare groups continue to call for the festival’s cancellation, citing animal cruelty and public health risks. Despite this, preparations for the event are underway, and dog meat remains available in some local markets, though in visibly reduced quantities compared to previous years.

The Veterinary Association of Zambia has called for an amendment to the country's Food and Drugs Act to explicitly prohibit the consumption of dog meat. VAZ President Malcolm Chiyoba highlighted that the current legislation lacks clear provisions against the sale and consumption of dog meat, leading to public health concerns and ethical issues. He emphasized that dogs are not recognized as food animals in Zambia and that their consumption poses risks due to the absence of regulatory oversight on their slaughter and meat processing. Chiyoba urged lawmakers to revise the Food Act to align with international standards and protect both public health and animal welfare.

Dog War

Each year, tens of millions of dogs are farmed or stolen, and then slaughtered for food throughout Asia. In Korea, popular myth claims that a tortuous and painful death enhances the taste of the meat and the sexual "stamina" of the men who eat it. This increasingly stigmatized trade has become a flashpoint in South Korea, where some believe the Asian custom originated, and where cultural and generational shifts have drawn entrenched battle lines.

DOG WAR follows a team of American combat vets as they join forces with Korean activists to stop the lucrative and powerful dog meat trade. Employing commando practices mostly undercover, they enter and disrupt this shadow world, saving one or hundreds of dogs at a time, and helping to transform an industry and nation. Leaving behind families and critics that question their motives and tactics, they risk it all to fight for those that cannot fight for themselves. DOG WAR goes behind the scenes as the battle unfolds, looking at the complex forces that pit dogs' lives against human livelihood, and revealing haunting truths about the breach of contract with man's best friend.
