    His Excellency Samdech Techo Hun Sen Prime Minister of Cambodia Office of the Prime Minister Royal Government of Cambodia Government Peace Building No. 38, Confederation Russia Blvd (110) Phnom Penh Cambodia [email protected] May 22, 2020 Re: The Threat of the Dog Meat Trade to Cambodia Dear Prime Minister Hun Sen, We are writing on behalf of the Asia for Animals Coalition, representing international animal welfare and conservation organizations regarding our concerns about the dog meat trade in Cambodia and its threat to public health, in light of the recent COVID-19 pandemic. Despite the worsening situation of the pandemic globally and throughout Southeast Asia, with 45,2091 ​ human coronavirus infections in the region to date, the mass trafficking, sale, and slaughter of ​ companion animals often alongside wild animals throughout the Kingdom continues unchallenged. The dog meat trade is rampant in Cambodia, involving the slaughter and consumption of up to 3 million dogs each year, many of them stolen pets, with an unknown number trafficked regularly into neighboring Vietnam. Research suggests that only 12% of Cambodians regularly consume dog meat, and consumption remains a controversial practice among Khmer people.2 The dog meat trade has proven to be a significant threat to public health, facilitating the transmission of deadly diseases including rabies, cholera, and trichinella. The trade also directly undermines Cambodia’s rabies control efforts and disrupts any attempts at achieving herd immunity through mass canine vaccination programs. Despite growing global public health concerns regarding live animal interfaces and wet markets and the potential for the emergence of novel and deadly viruses, the dog meat trade in Cambodia continues to operate - even in the face of mounting calls to end this trade.

V. Sundaram & Mrs. Usha Sundaram The 50th Anniversary of an organisation is not too common an occurrence for most organisations and even rarer for animal welfare groups. This is also an appropriate time to sit down and see what we have really achieved in the last half-century and what we should try to achieve in the next. It is also an even rarer event that five of the original nine founders are still around, with three of them actively involved in the work they began. The other two, in their nineties, are still with us in spirit but even more importantly, the spirit of the four no longer in our presence, guides us in what we do today. Regd.

    Health,Animal Rights,And Ecology

    Health,Animal Rights,and Ecology Volume II, No.1, March 1991 ***************************************************************** PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE Aloha friends, As we print this newsletter, our country is engaged in a brutal war in the Persian Gulf. It is hard for me to write something humorous about nuts and berries or tofu at such a time, so I would instead like to reprint an article written by my friend Mary Rogers, President of the Sacramento Vegetarian Society. I have made only a few minor changes in the wording. "Eating Our Way to War?" "If everyone in the U.S. were vegetarian, could we have avoided going to war in the Persian Gulf? Probably not, but absurd as it may sound on the surface, there is a connection, and it's a very simple one: animal agriculture is extremely inefficient and uses a substantial portion of our energy resources. "Cornell University economists David Fields and Robin Hur are quoted by John Robbins in Diet for a New America: 'A nationwide switch to a diet emphasizing whole grains, fresh fruits and vegetables ­ plus limits on export of nonessential fatty foods ­ would save enough money to cut our imported oil requirements by over 60 percent.' "Robbins also quotes Frances Moore Lappé, author of Diet for a Small Planet, who reports that 'the value of raw materials consumed to produce food from livestock is greater than the value of all oil, gas, and coal consumed in this country.' "American agriculture has become extremely energy intensive; it consumes more fossil fuel energy than it gives back in food energy, as Keith Akers states in A Vegetarian Sourcebook.

Established to alleviate the suffering of animals, it has grown from small beginnings to become one of India’s largest animal welfare organisations, running active animal welfare, animal rights and humane education programmes. At the time of its founding, there were only two kinds of animal welfare organizations in India – the majority were goshalas for cattle and the rest were SPCAs started by the British. Most of the latter only prosecuted cases of overloading of animal-drawn vehicles or for using sick and unfit animals to draw these carts.

For more information, please contact [email protected]. “I am a Vegetarian”: Reflections on a Way of Being Kenneth Joel Shapiro Animals and Society Institute [email protected] Abstract Employing a qualitative method adapted from phenomenological psychology, the paper presents a socio- psychological portrait of a vegetarian. Descriptives are a product of the author’s reflection on (dialogue with) empirical findings and published personal accounts, interviews, and case studies. The paper provides evidence for the hypothesis that vegetarianism is a way of being. This way of experiencing and living in the world is associated with particular forms of relationship to self, to other animals and nature, and to other people. The achievement of this way of being, particularly in the interpersonal sphere, comprises an initial, a transitional, and a crystallizing phase of development. The paper frames contrasts between vegetarianism and carnism through the phenomena of the presence of an absence and the absent referent, respectively. Keywords vegetarianism, qualitative analysis, phenomenology, absent referent Giehl (1975), Aronson (1996), Fox (1999), McDonald (2000), Evers (2001), Maurer (2002), and Hirschler (2009) have all suggested that, beyond the adoption of a particular dietary regimen, the psychology of vegetarianism involves a particular way of being or experiencing the world.
