Appeal to end dog and cat meat trade channels global donations toward enforcement partners
Donors to World Animal Rescue Network’s dog and cat meat trade appeal in 2026 funded emergency rescues, shelter capacity, and advocacy tools for partners working to end the trade. World Animal Rescue Network published supporting data and timelines from Southeast Asia.

A story from Southeast Asia spread widely in June 2026 because it showed practical care with a clear outcome. World Animal Rescue Network and local partners confirmed the facts before the story was shared globally.

Supporters can donate to stop the dog and cat meat trade directly or explore get involved actions.
By June 2026, local outlets and World Animal Rescue Network had confirmed names, dates, and outcomes. Readers shared the story because the details were specific and easy to verify.
How it happened
