No To Dog Meat

NoToDogMeat is a UK-based animal rights charity which supports rescue centres in countries which have a dog meat and cat meat trade. The charity, which is legally known as World Protection for Dogs and Cats in the Meat Trade, also campaigns against the killing of pet animals in the fur trade

NoToDogMeat is a pioneering movement that opposes the cruel slaughter of all animals for food, fur and ‘traditional’ medicine.

NoToDogMeat was founded by Julia de Cadenet, a dual-qualified activist lawyer who witnessed first-hand the horrors of the live meat markets in China in 2009. She began by lobbying for the rights of dogs in South Korea in the UK Parliament and pushing for the closure of Moran Market in Seoul, where one dog dies every 13 seconds and torture is commonplace.

The NoToDogMeat campaign started on social media in April 2013 with the help of a like-minded group of volunteers, all motivated by their love of dogs and cats. We lobby the UK and international governments and support grassroots campaigners to run animal shelters in countries with a dog and cat meat trade. We were among the first charities of this kind in the world.
