Ricky Gervais and Dame Judi Dench have joined stars from Downton Abbey to campaign for an end of the brutal Thai practice of torturing and slaughtering dogs for meat, which often involves family pets being stolen from their homes and ending up on restaurant dinner tables. The celebrities feature in a short video calling for action against the dog meat trade in Thailand, which aims to sound out to the countrys leaders to act on stopping the cruelty. The stars are working with the Soi Dog Foundation for the campaign, which was launched nearly a year ago and has been gaining momentum on social media. The Foundation is renewing its efforts to put pressure on the Thai Government, as the National Legislative Assembly consider the countrys first animal welfare bill. Soi Dog Foundation has also launched a petition calling on Thailand’s leaders to crack down on dog meat traders and put an end to the barbaric industry, which has attracted nearly 400,000 signatures so far. Go to https://savedogs.soidog.org/ to support the petition and https://soidog.org/ to support a dog now.
