Sadly, and shockingly, this is what the WACPAW/EonA team documented while inspecting dog slaughterplaces in northern Ghana. Dogs have their front legs brutally tethered behind their backs, their mouths taped shut and then their throats are slit. This is common practice in the dogmeat trade around the world. The transport of these dogs is also very horrible, overcrowded in wire cages and the dogs are very scared and overheated.
WACPAW and EonA is going to try to tackle this horrible cruelty in northern Ghana by giving animal-welfare workshops to the local young generation to change attitudes and practices in the future, by getting the topic in the local media and by trying to find practical alternative sources of income for producers. The first conference in animal-welfare was just held, but there is a long road ahead.
