Dear
Ambassador (name of ambassador),
I
am writing to you to express my strong concerns
about the dog meat trade in the Philippines. I
commend your government for instituting national
legislation banning the dog meat trade, but I
understand that stronger laws and increased
enforcement are needed to put a final end to this
cruel practice.
I
was horrified to learn from Dog Meat Trade.com that
dogs destined for slaughter in Baguio are
transported under such appalling conditions that up
to 50% of them die en-route, while the survivors
have their throats cut while still
conscious.
I
urge you to do all within your power to encourage
your government to further its efforts to eliminate
the dog meat trade completely. As a compassionate
traveler, I choose tourism destinations that are
committed to treating animals humanely. Only when
the dog meat trade has been ended, will I consider
traveling to the Philippines.
Sincerely,
(Your name and address)
In
addition to writing your local Philippines
ambassador you can further voice your concerns
directly to the Philippines President through her
website or by writing a letter urging her to put an
end to the Philippines dog meat trade.

also,
- you
can email
the officials in the Philippine Department of
Tourism office
- and the
Philippine Department of Tourism
Foreign
Offices
in your country.
The
Philippine's Department of Tourism will be
sensitive to the image that the Philippines is
projecting overseas to potential
tourists.
lastly,
It
is always a good idea to let your opinion be known,
as Philippine Embassy officials tend to be
sensitive to public opinion.
Together,
we REALLY can make a difference!
