Journey to Compassion: The road to ending Vietnam’s dog and cat meat trade

In 2024, FOUR PAWS embarked on a journey across Vietnam to demand an end to the brutal dog and cat meat trade. Our three-city LED billboard roadshow raised public awareness in Ho Chi Minh City, Da Nang, and Hanoi, urging citizens to join our national e-action calling on the Prime Minister to put a stop to the cruelty once and for all. We captured powerful public reactions through on-the-ground interviews and wrapped up the campaign with a major stakeholder event in Hanoi, presenting over 2.2 million petition signatures - including 250,000 from Vietnamese citizens - calling for a nationwide ban on the trade.
