👎🏼 We submitted below message to the e-People Petition Satisfaction Survey:

You fail to enforce your own laws and respect the will of your own people: your “social consensus” is that the majority of your population is opposed to dog meat. Dogs are companion and sentient beings not livestock. Shame on your failure to enforce your own laws that egregiously violate the Animal Protection Act.
