                    [Summary] => BAGUIO CITY — About 80 dogs on the way to a slaughterhouse — and eventually restaurant kitchens — have been rescued in La Union, police said yesterday.


The dogs, their snouts tied shut to prevent them from barking, were discovered early Tuesday in a van heading to this city, where many people consider dog meat a delicacy, said Chief Inspector Robert Mesa of Naguilian town.


Mesa said police chased the van for 18 kilometers to Aringay town, south of Naguilian, after the driver turned around upon seeing a checkpoint on the road to Baguio.

Backstreet traders and restaurants in the City of Pines and Benguet are making a killing out of dog meat, the Political Animal Lobby (PAL), an England-based animal welfare activist, told a TV station here.


According to PAL veterinarian Arturo Pangan, illegal dog meat traders are raking in P45 million a year, thanks to restaurants and canine meat lovers who troop to Baguio and Benguet for a taste of their favorite pulutan.
